Sunday Safe Betearly ratingWhy it’s a Sunday Safe Bet
It's still drawing plenty of interest, though it had soft box office. A safe bet when you want something reliable.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- A natural pick for comic book readers and anyone who likes their monsters enormous. Comic-book roots, so expect big stakes and bigger set pieces. Shelve it next to Batman and Superman: Battle of the Super Sons. The scale is huge: humanity is very much the underdog.
- The mood
- Feel-good.
- The pace
- Fast-moving, at 1 hr 7 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not for anyone who finds explosions tiring.
The members of the Super GUTS force, one of whom is secretly Ultraman Dyna, are in the middle of a losing battle against an enormous monster on the surface of the moon, when suddenly a spaceship appears and saves them by zapping the beast. The crew of the ship claim to members of the world peace force that originally created the Super GUTS force, and they invite the GUTS members to enter their brainwave patterns into the ship's battle computer so it can be a more effective fighting system. It sounds like a good idea, but could they have some other plan up their sleeves?
