      Grant Watson Fiction Machine When it comes to visual effects pictures of the period, Honda really does tower over the crowd. Rated: 6/10 Feb 5, 2022 Full Review Sean Axmaker Seanax.com ... a visually splendid and narratively pedestrian space opera, short on character and plot but full of great miniatures and dramatic effects in a film packed with spectacle.

      Audience Member Rip-roaring space opera by Honda, Tsuburaya and company. Great special effects, and a moving score by Akira Ifukube. One of the better non-Godzilla sci-fi films from Toho Studios. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Great addition to Toho's science fiction films has impressive and colorful special effects from Eiji Tsurbaya. Even though it does get a little dull at some parts, it remains another underrated Toho classic. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member an ok movie has some good moments Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Toho at it's finest! Beautiful miniature work. Amazing score. After watching the final battle, you can see where George Lucas, probably, got some inspiration for his climatic Battle of Yavin in the original Star Wars. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Nations of the world unite against outer space invaders coming at us in TohoScope! It's unfortunately a pretty dull film that is really only of interest if you're into 1960s miniature special effects fan. Watch miniatures of San Francisco and New York destroyed along with lots of space battles (as you'd guess from the title). Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This one I loved....it has everything in it.....it must have been pretty mind blowing at the time also.
