Vintage Japanese monster movies and contemporary politics are both given a poke in the ribs in this satiric comedy from director Minoru Kawasaki. The G8 Summit is being held in Hokkaido, Japan, and the leaders of the World’s most powerful and prosperous nations have arrived to discuss environmental issues. However, arriving at a diplomatic solution to global warming soon takes a back seat to a greater crisis: a Chinese space probe returning from a mission to Mars crash lands thirty miles away, and it’s soon discovered that a strange creature hitched a ride to Earth from the Red Planet.
