Since im half japanese here is Japan's best Sci-fi movie:
I recommend it to everyone who likes Sci-Fi movies, you can compare it with Blade Runner.
Casshern (キャシャーン, Kyashān) is a 2004 Japanese tokusatsu superhero film written and directed by Kazuaki Kiriya . It stars Yusuke Iseya as Tetsuya Azuma/Casshern, Kumiko Aso as Luna Kozuki,Toshiaki Karasawa as Burai, Mayumi Sada as Saguree, and Jun Kaname as Barashin.
In a world with an alternate history, a great war finally comes to an end leaving the earth diseased and polluted. The geneticist Dr. Azuma vies for support from the government for his neo-cell treatment that he claims can rejuvenate the body and regenerate humankind. The government leaders, guarding their own deeply entrenched powers, turn down the professor. Driven to complete his work, Dr. Azuma accepts a secret offer from a sinister faction of the powerful military. After an incident occurs in Dr. Azuma's lab, a race of mutant humans known as the Shinzo Ningen are unleashed upon the world. Now only the warrior known as Casshern, reincarnated with an invincible body, stands between the Shinzo Ningen and a world on the brink of annihilation.
In the future, in a polluted post-apocalyptic society called Eurasia after a war against Europe, the planet is devastated by the effect of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. The geneticist Dr. Azuma (Akira Terao) develops a technique called "neo-cell", capable of regenerating the body of human beings, sponsored by an evil corporation. His son Tetsuya Azuma (Yusuke Iseya) dies in the war, but after an accident in the laboratory of Dr. Azuma, Tetsuya revives as the powerful warrior Casshern, while a new breed of mutants called "neo-humans" is generated in the plant. The neo-humans decide to annihilate the humans and raise a new world.
I saw it in theatre/cinema and I bought it on DVD, it is splendid and it made some people to think and it let also people cry.
This is a good movie because for every scene there is another soundtrack. The battles in the movie reminds you a bit of DragonBallZ.
And the effects are amazing.
