Is a young man when you've seen G-Force or Battle of the Planets is popular in the first decade of the 1980s? It is another title from animate Gatchaman, a popular series in Japan in the era 1970-1980an, an era where a giant robot Voltron Voltus V and prosper. After many years of suspended animation series with a reboot attempt in Hollywood in the form of animated films that failed, eventually the land of cherry own initiative to work on it. No kidding they are not made ​​in the form of 2D and 3D animation film but direct live-action film. Will this film captures the essence of the classic animation that makes this series so beloved children first? Or he was more than just a movie Kamen Rider, Ultraman and other tokusatsu with a slightly higher budget?

The world was invaded by the evil forces of nowhere. Name races sudden and paralyzing man is Galactors. All human-machine guns are useless against Galactors quickly cripple nearly all nations of men. For years people live in fear under the oppression of Galactors. Lucky few chosen humans can get the power of the sacred white stones of the earth. Those who can take the power of the sacred stone referred to as receptors. The robustness of this new era ninja then become the basis of the Gatchaman team: five superhero figure who could beat Galactors.

Now the five superheroes are not so easily able to work together because they come from diverse backgrounds and different environments. This difference is exacerbated by the dark past of their leaders: Ken Washio by one of its members: George Asakura. In the midst of the chaos that plagued the team which is the only hope of this earth, Galactors also showed weakness for the first time when they mention the vice chairman defected from the camp Galactors want. However, if the statement is just a trap wants to defect to the Gatchaman team or indeed a game-changer that can save the earth?Please visit here

The plot in Gatchaman ... really bad and does not make sense. I was surprised by Yusuke Watanabe writer who seems too mature and complete trying feel actual cartoons is simple. I know that the first Japanese animation had 'adult' earlier than the animas-Americans are more childlike animation where they dare to discuss the themes darker; but what is done here Watanabe totally wrong. I was scratching his head puzzled at the scene jumps to another scene without any clear correlations and relationships.

Take one example: when Galactors strike the earth in a few months to a year alone almost the entire world has been conquered by them. Then skip a few years later and lives in Tokyo apparently peace-peace alone. Indeed, there are signs where life is now more severe than first but overall Tokyo seemed untouched by Galactors attack. What's going on? Do Galactors 'forget' strike Tokyo? More funny again just when the Gatchaman Galactors then finally ready to attack Tokyo and devastated most of the city. Inconsistency does not stop there; not long after the attack in Tokyo stopped suddenly occurred among the socialite party over there ... Huh? Party shortly after one of the city's biggest and safest attacked?

One more thing that is very-me deeply in this film is how Gatchaman blatantly trying to cheat on the work of classic superhero movie The Avengers with effect failed miserably. There is one shot where the Gatchaman gather with spinning camera - exactly what Whedon when The Avengers assemble the first time. Another one is currently a member of Galactors arrested and put in a trap room ala Loki. I can not help but giggle with artificial attempts failed. Pathetic once huh?

Luckily, in the midst of so many negative things that characterizes this film there are little things that made ​​the director correctly: the battle in Gatchaman. Although it is impossible to compete with Hollywood superhero superhero who has a much higher budget at least Gatchaman already maximizing every penny of their budget to fight-fight violent as they could. This coupled with fairly good acting of the five members of Gatchaman which has properties and different character still makes me feel at home and able to watch the film until the ending credits rolled.
