Movie Reviews of Doomed Megalopolis

Movie Review: 20 some dollars = 4 hours of greatness
Summary: 5 Stars

Anyways, for all of you graphic freaks out there, this movie will not sit well with you. As it is not up to todays standards, because it was released in the early 90's. However for those of us who arent graphic freaks, the graphics are still good regardless.

The story of this movie, revolves around a man hellbent on destroying Tokyo. This man is Kato Yasunari, and he isnt your every day Joe. He wields awesome power, at one point pulling the Moon into the Earth. To stop his crusade of destruction are an assortment of individuals, a scientist, a college student, a psychic, and most importantly a temple maiden who isnt all she appears to be. The charcters are all interesting in their own ways, and stay a large part of the story throughout the movie.

There are really two parts to the story, Kato, and the family he is using in his evil schemes. This family is really screwed up thanks to the older brother, who is a man obsessed with work and social status. You will not like the borther, as he is a very bad person. The sister is insane thanks to her brother and the demon Kato, who each in some way traumatize her. Later in the movie a focus is also placed on the daughter of the sister, who possess some magical power, and who is a tool of Kato.

This is a great story as far as anime standards go, and the ending involving Kato and the temple maiden is excellent.

Warning: This movie is definitely not for children.
