Re-review. Its is based on the mythology of the Theft of fire, and the titular Ultraman as the trickster. Despite its concrete plot, its ruined by 112 min of recital of importunate lines without any character development nor emotional expression. Though it claims to be a "Science Fiction Film" from its title, its absent from social commentary, artistic expression, ideas, nor acting. Not even a story. It is a patchwork of favorite scenes from the original "Ultraman," stitch together with prematurely understood ideas, and filled with easter eggs that serves very little purpose. Its an expensive "fan made video." But, hardly a "film" with mise en scéne.
