    Highly enjoyable sci fi

    Any one who has seen Japnese cinema will know it has been 'borrowed' by Hollywood for a long time. So, the worm has turned - and they do a great job. The main plot is very similar to the "Terminator". The action (and action music) is very like "The Matrix". There's some "Independence Day" there and a bit of "Blade". But I like those films anyway so I had no problem. It does feel I need to over explain. But instead of pretending it is 100% original they just go for it. Some of their own stamps of style are great. Now, it's no classic, but it is tremendous fun. If you like sci fi give a go. I'm sure you will love it.

    Cool twist on standard sci-fi film

    If you like the Matrix and similar films then this is worth the watch. It may be dubbed but not as badly as I seen before and it doesn't distract from a good film with some very cool special effects. Especially look out for the transformer type alien ships and a good timetravel paradox ending.
