When it comes to visual effects pictures of the period, Honda really does tower over the crowd. Go to Full Review

... 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. Go to Full Review

01/08/2020 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. See more 05/07/2017 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. See more 08/05/2014 an ok movie has some good moments See more 04/14/2014 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. See more 09/14/2013 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). See more 05/04/2012 This one I loved....it has everything in it.....it must have been pretty mind blowing at the time also. See more Read all reviews
