If you loved Space Battleship Yamato, try Returner

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Takashi Yamazaki, and they both carry the neon soaked mood tag, and they sit in Action / Adventure / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Space Battleship Yamato, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Returner is

You’re a lone gunman drifting through a lawless town when a woman from tomorrow drags you into a temporal war. Then the sky starts falling apart. Yamazaki’s 2002 camera ignites neon bullets and rusted skeletons in a rainy dusk that never ends.
