Great Decisive Battle! Superior Ultraman 8 Brothers (2008) One great thing about Japan is that childlike adult males are a market demographic. After the apparition of a threatening mirage over Yokohama, a young man begins having dreams and visions indicating that he and his friends, and a handful of older men in the neighborhood, have lives in an alternate world where the television fantasy of monster-fighting Ultraman is real. When an evil alien begins to bring giant monsters into this world, they must remember their childhood hopes and dreams, and recall their true nature as defenders of the planet. Though I don't know that much about the TV show, this appears to be a multigenerational reunion of actors from different periods of the program. What pleased me was the emotional sincerity of it, the complete lack of irony. It is so hopeful and touching at times I was quite moved. "Regardless of how bad the situation is, the light in people's heart will never disappear." 10/10
