Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

claytonian-1 I voted 10 for excellent, but let me be clear; this movie is bad in the best possible ways. Almost Manos, Hands of Fate bad. You will laugh your self hoarse. The movie really is confused about itself; it doesn't know whether it is a horror movie or a light-hearted kids movie. And what ever happened to the adults? We only really see one or two die. they just disappear. The plot holes only add to the hilarity. The ending of the movie is the funniest part, though to its poor Japanese writer, it was probably very touching before he translated it to English.Man, I would love to interview Arthur Johnson or some of the other stars from this movie to see what the bilingual process of movie making is like. That would be A-grade movie blog material.

Fliction Hello,I was in the movie too but only as an extra. I was part of the group of kids from NAS Kamiseiya & Atsugi. It was a great learning experience and lots of fun. Everyone from the Director on down was polite and energetic. I'm hoping to get lucky and get the movie again because I gave a copy to my friend to record before I left Japan but never got it back. I remember the person who played Kenny and was glad to see someone had at least left comment on the movie :D When we saw it on opening night I remember seeing several people get emotional towards the end of the movie. Was really good to see that everyone's effort had impressed the

csanpedro I was also in this movie, it was the best experience I've ever had growing up in Japan. I went to school in Yokosuka and later moved to Atsugi attending Zama, but I'm a Yo-Hi Devil forever!!! Any who, I was not a main character I was playing two different characters (as an extra), we spent all our free times just hanging out waiting for our turn to shoot our scene...got treated to McDonalds a lot :-) This movie is your typical Japanese "Godzilla" like movie and the special effects back then were cool...notice I said back then! If you were to watch this movie now, you'd think differently, so if ever seeing, please keep in mind that this movie was made back in 1987. I would love to hear from the other two that has posted a comment on this.

Fenix-8 The filming of it was fun and a great learning experience for me. My family and I watched the premiere on opening night in Tokyo, Japan. The movie is interesting in storyline content, and one that leaves the ending to the viewer. Its Science Fiction content would leave any open minded writer the room to expand and possibly create another world within that the character's are thrust into. It is about a band of kids who attend an international school. An unusal warp gate pulls them into an unknown future, and one that isn't so friendly in the beginning. It deals with a boy who must break away from the ties of being irresponsible, to lead the survivors. As I said, the ending is left to the viewer. And for the time period that the movie was released, left a couple of tears trailing from audience members.
