Ultraman

Ultraman's origin is updated in this theatrical feature. Fighter pilot Maki (Bessho) is thought killed in a mysterious midair collision but is later found alive and well. At the same time a mysterious monster that can absorb animals into itself is on the loose. Can Maki discover the power in himself that will stop the monster?

Ultraman features a new continuity and a radical redesign for Ultraman, as well as lots of CGI special effects.

Ultraman Gaia: The Battle in Hyperspace

If you have happy memories of watching Ultraman episodes as a kid, this movie will snap you right back into that frame of mind. The great thing about Ultraman is that though the special effects may change and improve, the storylines never do. In this post-Pokemon incarnation, one of the many Ultramen (or rather, his alter ego Gamu, played by Takeshi Yoshida) is called into our "real" world by the magic wish of a kid looking to find his own courage. Unfortunately, the monsters followed Gamu from the dimension in which the TV series take place to our reality -- but hey, that's OK. At least now Ultraman has someone to wrestle!

Giant monsters, Ultraman, magic wishes, even secret mecha super-weapons -- this one's got it all! Highly recommended for your kids and the kid in you.

Ultraman Tiga & Ultraman Dyna

This theatrical feature functions as a sequel to two of the recent Ultraman series. The characters from Ultraman Dyna face the possibility of being replaced by a high tech battleship called Promedius. But don't fear for their job security, it turns out the ship is actually part of a conspiracy by the alien Monera to take over the world. It's up to Ultraman Dyna and the long lost Ultraman Tiga to wrestle the alien conspiracy into submission. If you're an Ultraman fan, you'll love this.
