Ultraman Great: The Alien Invasion

About This Movie

Ultraman Great: The Alien Invasion is a fascinating entry in the Ultraman series, marking its first compilation film. It has this distinctly atmospheric vibe, blending fantasy and science fiction in a way that feels both nostalgic and fresh. The pacing is certainly brisk, cramming a lot into its runtime, which might feel a bit disjointed at times, but that just adds to its charm. The practical effects, despite some dated elements, offer a rawness that enhances the viewing experience. Performances from the cast, particularly Jack Shindo, give the film a unique earnestness, as he faces off against the looming threat of Gudis and his monstrous minions. It’s a curious piece for collectors who appreciate the evolution of tokusatsu and the Ultraman legacy.
