If you loved The War in Space, try The Mysterians
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
Theysit in Action / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to The War in Space, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Mysterians is
Japanese village. Autumn cicadas. A vanished people. Aliens arrive, seeking land and wives after vaporizing a swatch of Earth. A colossal robot erupts, incinerating what's left. Humanity faces a choice: annihilation or subjugation. Honda's paranoid, post-Hiroshima nightmare gets a vivid, widescreen treatment.
