Trailer Time: Kikaider Reboot

First off thank you to the makers of this movie for calling it what it is... a reboot. When did that become a dirty word? Was it around the time that entertainment companies realized that that's all they were doing? Probably. Anywho, this is the Kikaider reboot film. It looks pretty cool even if the green screen is a little separated, but overall I like it. The costumes are far better and the acting doesn't seem bad from what I can tell and my general exposure to Japanese movies. The gist of the film is that society reaches a point in which they can no longer progress without the help of robots so queue the robots. The lead scientist on the project (called the Ark Project) is "accidentally" killed and his rival starts causing chaos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nR0J4cHaNZU
