  • The continued appearance of giant unidentified lifeforms known as "S-Class Species" has become commonplace in Japan. Conventional weapons have no effect on them. Having exhausted all other options, the Japanese Government issued the S-Class Species Suppression Protocol and formed an enforcement unit, known as the SSSP. The members chosen for the unit are: Leader Fumio Tamura (played by Hidetoshi Nishijima), Executive Strategist Shinji Kaminaga (played by Takumi Saitoh), Unparticle Physicist Taki Akihisa (played by Daiki Arioka), and Universal Biologist Yume Funaberi (Akari Hayami) As the threat of S-Class Species worsens, a silver giant appears from beyond Earth's atmosphere. Analyst Hiroko Asami (played by Masami Nagasawa) is newly appointed to the SSSP to deal with this giant and is partnered with Shinji Kaminaga. In Hiroko's report, she writes... "Ultraman (tentative name), identity unknown".

    Shin Ultraman (シン・ウルトラマン, Shin Urutoraman) is a 2022 Japanese superhero kaiju film directed by Shinji Higuchi and written, co-produced, and co-edited by Hideaki Anno. A reimagining of Ultraman, the film is a co-production between Toho Studios and Cine Bazar, and presented by Tsuburaya Productions, Toho Co., Ltd., and Khara, Inc. It is the 37th film in the Ultraman franchise, and the second reboot of a tokusatsu series to be adapted by Anno and Higuchi, after Shin Godzilla, with Shin Kamen Rider to follow in 2023. The film stars Takumi Saitoh, Masami Nagasawa, Daiki Arioka, Akari Hayami, Tetsushi Tanaka, and Hidetoshi Nishijima, with Anno and Bin Furuya as Ultraman. In the film, an extraterrestrial accidentally kills a man while battling a kaiju and takes on his appearance and place at the S-Class Species Suppression Protocol to protect Earth from further threats.

      @GaiusIntrepidus 11 месяцев назад

      Even with CGI, the directors really wanted to give it the same feel as suitmation, and I find that admirable due to how it allows to emphasize how "alien" Ultraman truly is.

  • @johndelye3402
    @johndelye3402 Год назад +23

    I think the idea of not one but two aliens being more readily accepted by Japan's leaders is a joke about how stoic Ultraman is. He doesn't utter a sound,slowly turns his head and creepily stares at an onlooker before flying off. Zarab and Mefilas outright start communicating with us. It being a stealth joke is my head canon lol

    • @annoying_HK_guy
      @annoying_HK_guy Год назад +3

      Zarab and Mefilas can view as a mysterious god being since god and alien are something human can't touch or know
      So quickly accepting them is actually the most realistic way to prevent severe damage they can bring

    Oh man this is so cool! Huge fan of Ultraman and Tokusatsu. Loved that all the Kaiju shown at the beginning were from Ultra Q, and all the other easter eggs. Just an incredible movie. This is the first I've seen of the "Shin" movies and now I'm even more hyped for Shin Kamen Rider. You guys gotta cover the new Super Sentai series and more tokusatsu shows whether that's on Pateron or not, I'm down.

  • @androyus
    @androyus Год назад +3

    The special FX & scale in this movie is very admirable considering Shin Ultraman only has 1/3 of Shin Godzilla's budget. And Shin Godzilla's budget is already pretty cheap around 1/10 of Godzilla 2014 budget. Imagine all the limitations the team behind Shin Ultraman had to face 😮.
    Also, Color Timer-less Ultraman was actually the original design of Ultraman during the conceptual stage before they eventually added the timer in the 1966 show.
    Still, very fun review, guys. Thanx 👍

    Loved Shin Godzilla and was lucky to see that in theaters. Missed this in theaters but excited to see it soon. From what I've seen the Shin series is doing a great job modernizing these franchises and making interesting stories filled with great characters. Big fan of the Shin Godzilla score by Shirō Sagisu who also worked on Evangelion.

    The visual references of the kappa sequence gave me an idea of fonzi bear going to japan and having series of misunderstandings resulting in a hilarious slideshow presentation to kermit to kermit and the gang appropriately ruined by a light blinded "kaiju like" ms piggy interruption. Wawaru vs waka-waka. Really enjoying your reviews.

    • @johndelye3402
      @johndelye3402 Год назад +1

      I watched this when I was a little kid and also had Space Giants and Spectreman . I honestly thought that Rangers was Space Giants rip off but without giant kaiju. There are superficial similarities I can point out. A . Both feature flamboyant evil big bads,Giants was male Rangers female. B. Both had a character subset of minions that existed to provide fight scenes, Giants had guys with black nylon covering their faces and melting into goo when killed,Rangers had the Putty Patrol. But Rodak didn't just send out a small monster to eventually have it sized up later. When he sent a kaiju it was a DEI KAIJU-immediatley destroying its surroundings like a Godzilla movie. He'd also infkect viral epidemics on Japan's populace,varying from ones that cause mold to instantly grow on victims faces and another having victims skin going literally blue.

    Went to the local(ish) Fathom showing of this, which I probably would've missed if I hadn't heard you mention it before, with my folks who are also fans. We liked it. I would much, much prefer practical effects (suits), but it looked good and was enjoyable. That said, I thought they crammed a bit too much in it and it was longer than it needed to be. I dug Shin Godzilla more.

  • @febcortes5878

    Shin Ultraman's lack of a color timer on his chest is indeed an homage to the original Ultraman design by Tohl Narita, where he doesn't have a color timer. :)

    I remember the first film in the Godzilla franchise my dad showed me. The 74 version of Godzilla vs Mecha Godzilla. I've loved these kinda shows/movies since. Even to this day I have a fond memory of the original Power Rangers show and my dad telling me about how it was called Super Sentai in Japan.

      To be honest, I haven’t seen much new Ultraman. And I think all the older movies are just mostly compilation stuff that showed in theaters along other Kaiju Toho releases. -Joe

    At the very end of the movie what actually happens is that ultraman sacrifices his life so that kaminaga can keep on living, in direct contrast to the original where both ultraman and hayata got to be saved by zoffy after the final battle

    I enjoyed Godzillas as a kid. I enjoyed Superhuman Syber Squad which was my only exposure to an Ultraman show for a while. Later I delved into Japanese Sentai and its recycled Power Rangers series eventually. I've dug into Kamen Rider. Ultraman remains a blindspot for me. I need to learn more about those series. I do enjoy Tokusatsu.

    Just wondering, will you be doing a ripe review of Cocaine Bear. I just watched it and it is a great, fun movie. It plays out like a slasher, kind of Jaws meets Friday the 13th. There is no reason they can't make a franchise out of this.

    Great episode. It's lots of fun checking out movies i haven't seen before. I can't help but feel like movies like this inspired the Power Rangers tv show / phenomenom of the 90's.
    By the way, seeing your both huge fans of the original Ghostbusters, there is a great movie length documentary from 2019 called Cleanin Up the Town: Remembering Ghostbusters, if you want to check it out.

I watch like over 40 Martial Arts movies in February and that one stuck out to me just because of how unJackie Chan it is. Hes telling people to give him their fucking keys, blowing people away with guns. Just a weird movie.
    Also I would totally get the pateron just to hear you guys talk about KingOhger (the new sentai)

    It’s weird that my generation grew up watching shows like Ultraman and Johnny Sokko that were basically the Japanese shows ported over and dubbed. We knew the shows were Japanese and didn’t care, but after Power Rangers all the shows were brought over and completely stripped of anything Japanese so that you couldn’t tell.
