Plot summary
In the 22nd century, scientists from an energy-depleted Earth research new fuel sources in the far corners of the solar system, where they discover an ancient alien race from Jupiter as well as the emergence of an apocalyptically dangerous black hole. Koji Hashimoto's 1983 sci-fi adventure was conceived as a Japanese competitor to the upcoming sequel to Stanley Kubrick's classic 2001, titled 2010, and often mirrors the sequel's plot.

I am loving the reviews on the right. I personally still dig the film (though you would think that Japan would have stepped up their FX game, as it still looks like something from the 70's pre STAR WARS). I am still saddened that Freeman won't include dual audio tracks, as there is an English dub. It doesn't make the movie any better, but it would still be nice to have.

Very Quirky Japanese Sci Fi! Don't expect Star Wars, Dune o anything like that.... You've really got to watch this twice to make sense of it
