muswp1 Posted October 13, 2003 Posted October 13, 2003 (edited) Ok, I saw a commercial during Fox's NFL coverage of the Bears vs. Saints game for a movie that looks like it came from Japan called "The Returner" The commercial looked like it was an anime movie involving lots of different things transforming into robots, like in the middle of the commercial was a 747 turning into a piloted robot. Anyone know anything about this one?? EDIT: Spelling and Grammar Edited October 13, 2003 by muswp1 Quote
Sebastian Posted October 13, 2003 Posted October 13, 2003 There was a previous thread about this movie. maybe you should check it. Generally speaking the Returner is a very cool Sci Fi Japanese movie. I have the DVD and I really enjoyed. It is kinda anime, and the transforming mecha is not the main thing in the movie at all. Man, the BAD guy was SO funny! Check it if you can. Quote
Guppy Posted October 13, 2003 Posted October 13, 2003 It's a cross between the Terminator, Independence Day and the Matrix. Quote
drifand Posted October 13, 2003 Posted October 13, 2003 It isn't bad at all, pretty good fun in fact. They could do with better English dialogue, that's all. The girl actually speaks it fine, but I believe the scripted lines were in broken English. It's not noticeable in the beginning because other people are already hamming their lines and lots of action is taking place. But the end scene, being a quiet, almost solemn moment, her crap lines really trip up the mood. A simple redub would do a world of good. Quote

StealthLurker Posted October 13, 2003 Posted October 13, 2003 I saw that movie at the San Diego Asian Film festival. Pretty good w/ nice special f/x. It came out in 2002 I believe so the dvd is available. I got a copy of it from pokerindustries.com Quote
