GoShogun: The Time Etranger

Summary: Can anyone say Gatchaman?
Review: Actually thats an unfair thing to say. It isn't Gatchaman, although in many ways it seems like its a progression from it. The story revolves around a former 'Super' team, the 'Goshogun, they were the all round good guys, champions of justice etc. Cat stuck in a tree? never fear. GOSHOGUN is here. Well I imagine thats probably what they were like. The Goshogun are no more, they're all trying to lead their own seperate lives but they are once again draw together when one of their number is injured in a car crash. From deep in her comatose state the main character 'Remy Shimada' desperately battles at a subconcious level, in a dark and forboding town. Should she and her team fail, then she might never wake.

So thats the overview, in many ways its a lot better than it sounds, its not at all cute, the fighting and weapons especially are quite realistic and brutal in style. For the majority of the film you're left in a half confused limbo, bits make sense here and there but not all of it.

Definately one to rent or to see, it wouldn't be my first choice as a purchase but good if you're fed up with all singing all dancing....
