Live action and anime combine to be a really crazy ride!
12 May 2020
Imagine an anime where you get live action models and such being destroyed by dinosaurs! Cool, eh? Well this one had its moments, but they kind of failed on the anime portion of this thing. This is one of those films that is actual episodes from a television show pieced together to make a film featuring monsters attacking every episode like a lot of those Japanese shows in the 70's like Ultraman, only here we get anime heroes who ride what looks like a giant bus into action which is also live action. The whole thing is messed up to the extreme!

The story, some Tyrannosaurus is introduced telling all these weird monsters to destroy, but this part seems to go unexplained and may have just been the initial introduction to the television show. Seems like if these three monsters and the main one went on a super attack they could have easily been victorious, but instead they generally like to attack one at a time and incorporate other, smaller animals to do their dirty work like dogs, bats and rats in that order. I wonder if in future episodes if they continued to get smaller animals to assist. Well fear not as Gemini force is going to help as their team consists of a brother sister combo and two idiots who fly the back half of the bus. For reasons unknown to me, the sister and brother combine to form one being and this for some reason makes their ship stronger. Why they need this odd and disturbing transformation is beyond me as you could just make a more powerful weapon, but hey, Gemini Force!

The monsters attacking is pretty out there, but cool in a way as we have yelling dinosaurs. The first scene had one jumping out of the ground and it reminded me of Godzilla the way it did that. Too bad the anime portion is so weak and poorly animated and I would have much rather they become a giant robot to fight the beasts rather than just a plane with a drill and buzz saws. I also got a bit confused as there are two of the super monsters that looked just like the leader and i was like, "What, they killed him already?"

So this thing is wild and definitely worth a look see. I mean, you have dinosaurs wrecking havoc and brother and sister arguing over the sister's refusal to ask for a refund when her blouse got chewed up by rights. We have dogs overrunning the city and then we watch as the two idiot members bulldoze through the dogs! This thing is just crazy and an insane mixture of various formats to make it even more odd. I will warn you, you will get tired of watching them explain the incredible transformation the brother and sister undergo...
