I tried to listen in on the Japanese, but all I heard was the roar of a Jet Engine set to take off power. It's all here, there and over there.
Japanese live action TV and movies doesn't have a legacy of quality, but it has greatly improved of late, so I wouldn't count this out, if nothing else it might be a good watch just out of curiosity. The new Space Battleship Yamato movie is a live action version of the anime and it's not bad, especially when you consider it was made with only 12 million.
The only thing I am not happy about is who they cast for Maya Fey. Looks nothing like her, let alone a 17 year old. Mia Fey on the other hand looks good. Phoenix s hair looks surreal as hell in the flesh.
