The DVD case for The Mysterians aka Chikyu Boeigun (1959) - the IMDb lists a release year of 1957 (12/28/57, to be accurate), so maybe 1959 was the year it made it to the U.S. - states `The Greatest science fiction relate ever conceived by the mind of man.’ That’s seems like a radiant haughty claim, especially for a film made by a studio (Toho) most notorious for movies featuring guys in rubber suits crushing diminutive buildings…and after watching the film last night, I feel it didn’t quite live up to said claim, but unexcited, it was fun nonetheless (besides, would your interest be peaked in a film that claimed something like `Not the greatest science fiction film in the world, but it will do in a pinch’? Probably not…) …directed by legendary Japanese director and Academy Award winner Ishirô Honda, the creator of Godzilla, The Mysterians was Toho Studios 1st wide cloak sci-fi color release (Rodan was the 1st Toho monster film color release, also directed by Honda…some may claim Rodan is a sci-fi film, and it does have many sci-fi elements, but it will always be a monster film to me) . Appearing in the film is Kenji Sahara (King Kong vs. Godzilla, Attack of the Mushroom People), Yumi Shirakawa (Rodan), Momoko Kochi (Godzilla), Akihiko Hirata (Rodan, Gorath, the Mysterious Star), and Takashi Shimura (The Seven Samurai, Godzilla) .

As the film starts, we sight a village of Asian peoples celebrating something or other, only to be interrupted by a fire titillating a nearby forest. Three men foolishly determine to try and establish out the massive fire, with predictable results (do you like your sushi fried? ) . Later said village suffers yet another exertion in that a giant sinkhole swallows them whole…better luck in the next life, I content. An investigation provides cramped information, except for the presence of radioactivity (that’s never a apt tag, doubly so in a film like this) and this marks the appearance of what looks like a giant, metal, flightless bird that shoots destructive eyebeams. Whatever was left of the village is now completely gone, and the army soon arrives to deal with the menace. There’s the obligatory fleeing of Asian peoples, and the creature is finally brought down, and it is learned that it is not of this Earth. Turns out the creature was controlled by a group of aliens, from the planet Mysteroid (I had a case of mysteroids once…got some cream from the drugstore and it went away) calling themselves, aptly enough, Mysterians, who have decided to recall up position on the Earth, and frail the mechanical creature as a demonstration of their awesoma powers. What the heck do these Mysterians, who’ve arrived from the murky side of the moon (there’s a Pink Floyd joke in there somewhere), want? Well, I’ll give you a hint, it has something to do with our wimmin…I’ve reach to the conclusion females are among the scarcest commodity in the universe. Anyway, beside the wimmin, they have other demands (I believe if they fair wanted some wimmin, we probably would have acquiesced, but then they got greedy…let that be a lesson to all you aliens out there), demands the Earth aren’t willing to meet, and that means all out war! Whoo hoo! Let the fireworks open (literally…I deem some of the scenes featured accurate fireworks)!

I did be pleased this film immensely, but I also had a few problems with it…the biggest fault, I relate, is the tale often gets bogged down as the characters seem to be in a continual location of conferencing and holding meetings, trying to choose how to deal with the aliens. This was certainly one arrangement to dole out the exposition, but if all the meeting scenes were removed, the 88-minute runtime would have probably been reduced to about an hour. I wasn’t even born at the time this film came out, but I gotta figure the effects were heavenly extraordinary, in all their chubby color glory. They smooth near off really well. The rubber bird suit looked sparkling funky (strangely, our handguns have no achieve on the creature!), but everything else was top notch, especially the realistic nature of miniatures. Apparently the giant creature wasn’t initially fraction of the yarn, but the producer decided the film needed a giant creature, so maybe that’s why it has an peculiar fit with relation to the rest of the film. The Mysterians looked radiant frosty, sort of like retro Much Morphin’ Power Rangers (who I don’t care worthy for, and probably even less now as it would appear they `borrowed’ their costume plan from here) . I consider one of my well-liked elements of the film is the music, created by legendary composer Akira Ifukube. It’s very definite, aggressive (as the aliens), and indicates some operatic influences (believe of the effectiveness of Wagner’s The Stride of the Valkyries and its usage in Francis For Coppola’s Apocalypse Now during the helicopter scene) . Seems rare to accumulate a composer these days whose music blends in so nicely with the material on the cover.

The describe, in TohoScope (the early Japanese equivalent of widescreen anamorphic), is presented in its modern aspect ratio of 2.35:1 (this was one of the first Japanese films to perceive such a release), and looks extraordinary. There are a few scratches note (especially during the air combat sequences), but I obvious this will probably blow away any VHS copy you may absorb. As for the audio, there are five separate tracks available in English 5.1 Surround, Japanese 5.1 Surround, Japanese Mono, Spanish Mono, a commentary track featuring a moderator and two special effects artists named Koichi Kawakita and Shinji Higuchi (they all recount in Japanese, but there are English subtitles), and finally you can inspect the film with music only. Other special features include a photo gallery, invent gallery, storyboards, an recent trailer, and previews for Matango - Attack of the Mushroom People (1963), Dogora (1964), Varan (1962), Gappa The Triphibian Monster (1967), and One Missed Call (2003) .

For any Upright fan of 50’s scifi (especially the horribly dubbed japanese monster movies), this ranks suitable up there with Rodan, gozilla, and Mothera. It has everything you could ask for. Stereotypical Asians, miniture war machinery, giant monster, detestable aliens (as opposed to illegal aliens) and so distinguished more.

The model villages, the puppets, planes on wires, flying saucers…there’s too grand to mention.

There’s no employ even thinking about this one. You must have it in your collection.
