Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With soft box office and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for sci-fi fans, fantasy fans and action fans. If you loved Black Panther or Guardians of the Galaxy, start here.
The mood: Exciting.
The pace: Fast-moving, at 1 hr 36 min.
What might put you off: It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Made in 1963: an older pace and style.

The legendary empire of the lost continent of Mu reappears to threaten the world with domination. While countries unite to resist, an isolated World War II Captain has created the greatest warship ever seen, and possibly the surface world's only defense.
