Battle In Space!
16 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Directed by Ishiro Honda, written by Shinichi Sekizawa and special effects by Eiji Tsuburaya, Battle In Outer Space starts with disaster all over the world. Major Ichiro Katsumiya, Professor Adachi and Dr. Richardson think that it's aliens and they are soon proved right by Dr. Ahmed, the Iranian scientist in the group, who starts sabotaging everything.

The Earth is going to become part of the planet Natal, unless Earth can get it together and do what we do best: kill things. Some of the biggest cities are turned into models and blown up real good, but don't worry. We know how to vaporize things. We have the technology.

The exterior of the Science Center is the National Sports Center, which was made as part of the Tokyo Olympiad. I love that Japanese filmmakers decide to just blow up their own country more often than anyone else's, but when the Cinerama Dome in Tokyo gets zapped, I did get depressed.

When Apollo 11 landed on the moon, Eiji Tsuburaya watched and said, "We were right, our special effects team did a great job. Now, we can hold our heads before the public."
