Recap: A young teenage girl, Milly, travels almost a hundred years back in time to save mankind from a losing war against the invading aliens Daggra. Her mission is to kill the first alien that set foot on earth, and thereby stop the invasion. She lands in the middle of a shoot out where a lone gunman takes on a whole criminal gang. The gunman Miyamoto is out for revenge for what the crime lord, Mizoguchi, did when Miyamoto was just a kid. But Mizoguchi gets a tip of the alien craft and wants to get his hands on it. And suddenly Milly is not so sure that it was the aliens that started the war, but she is sure she got a common cause with Miyamoto. If she only could convince him about that too
Comments: A good sci-fi action with emphasis on action. Most of the story plays out in 2002 and is a conflict between Milly and Miyamoto on one side, and Mizoguchi on the other. Because of it there are few aliens and little future technology featured, and the story could almost be any action movie at all. Unfortunately it doesn't stand out anything, it is a solid action but little more.
Because of it, it is a movie that is fun to watch once, but that is enough. You can expect to be entertained, with some nice choreographed fights as a highlight, some good explosions but unfortunately just an average story as foundation. Therefore it doesn't become much of it. However, this is still proof that good action doesn't necessarily need to come from Hollywood.
And just a tip, on my DVD there was a preset dubbed English version. Change to the Japanese audio with subtitles instead and you will be spared some horribly out of sync dialog.
6/10
