Shin Ultraman (2022)

There are those that dissed this movie because they do not understand the way it is done in. This is not the Ultraman series that aired in Japan on Sunday mornings in the days long gone. Neither is it for those who have no idea about its premise. This is Higuchi’s homage to the original series in a more arthouse format. The dialogues are few and sometimes infer more than what is said. The way the some of the scenes are framed is a pure homage to the old series, especially the macronization of Ultraman.One will also notice a few cast members who appeared in Shin Godzilla appearing in similar roles here. Is this some sort of connection between the two movies? We shall see.
