More praise incoming!
Man, I haven't been that impressed by a toku film since first watching Gamera: Guardian of the Universe back in 1998. I loved the organic look of The Next and The One had one of the best daikaiju suits I've seen in a while. The action scenes were just superb!

ok ok Time For white Ranger to get is Effect bashing out of the way first.
Ultraman the Next was a good film the Effects for me were Really Noticeable but where good enough for me to still Enjoy it the Green Screen Parts in the Army Base when The one and Next First fought was done the Cgi was good But I say that for a film from 2004 I think it Still Better anything Toei Threw in with Sentai and kamen rider but the CG was Noticeable when it first Showed the Planes they when that route and it did not keep the illusion of it being Real. But all in all I Really Liked the Film the Designs and the story was Really Good and I Can’t Wait to see what Nexus Brings us next week. This has gotten me in to the Ultra liking. And want more.

Yeah the CGI really sucked in the first half of the movie, like the monsters transformation animations were really shit, so was the time when Maki landed the plane at the airbase. But later CGI like the fight in the sky I thought looked great.

Just finished the movie a little earlier. I went in with blank expectations and really enjoyed it. The story, while slow at first, was overall very nice. It kinda felt like Hal Jordan's origin story, except instead of getting a green ring he got an Ultraman. And then we see he struggle between home life and the life thrust onto him being an alien being. Overall very enjoyable. The suit designs were spectacular. I loved each stage of The One and its horrortastic evolution. The Next's design was also really good. A shame these two have no Ultra-Acts, because I'd buy them in a heartbeat. The special effects were top notch in this film, being practical and CGI. The fight on the base was a hightlight for me due to the good use of the scaled set. And finally the fights were great. They really captured the feel that The One and The Next were giants clashing in urban enviroments with the civilians evacuating to not get hurt/killed as they fight.
I'm really glad I watched this movie. Many thanks to Baltan to providing the movie and the subs, in addition to creating the time ghost(a cookie if you get the reference ) of wanting to see Nexus. Eager to start Nexus next week. |

Was the original Ultraman similar to this in story? If so, I wonder if Green Lantern influenced it, the similarities are hard to ignore.

Very similar. Ultraman was chasing the monster Bemular to Earth when he crashed into Science Patrol member Hayata, who was flying a VTOL. Their life forces merged and Hayata became the human host for Ultraman.

Well, sort of. Abin Sur died and gave Hal his ring. Hayata was at death's door, and Ultraman merged with him. At the end of the series, Ultraman is dying from his battle with Z-Ton. Zoffy arrives and brings a "life" for Ultraman. Ultraman says to save Hayata instead of himself. After Zoffy asks is he is sure, he tells Ultraman that he brought two lives. So both survive, though Hayata has no memory of his time as Ultraman.
