Shin Ultraman (2022) - Japanese Movie Review

Erik, the Asian Movie Enthusiast presents:

A review of “Shin Ultraman”, a Japanese superhero action film from 2022 that was directed by Shinji Higuchi. It was written, co-produced, and co-edited by Hideaki Anno.

Following the invasion of several kaiju in Japan, the government establish the S-Class Species Suppression Protocol (SSSP) to eliminate further threats. When the SSSP respond to an attack by an S-Class kaiju dubbed “Neronga”, a silver giant extraterrestrial emerges from the sky and defeats Neronga. However, the incident leaves SSSP member Shinji Kaminaga (played by Takumi Saitoh) injured while trying to save a lost child. Analyst Hiroko Asami (played by Masami Nagasawa) is transferred from the Public Security Intelligence Agency to the SSSP and partnered with Kaminaga, who seemingly recovered from his injuries. Asami submits a report on the silver giant, dubbing it “Ultraman.” The SSSP respond to another S-Class Species attack by a kaiju dubbed “Gabora.” Unbeknownst to the SSSP, Kaminaga transforms into Ultraman, now adorning red and silver colors.

I recommend “Shin Ultraman.”
