Overview: (DVD
Back)
The end
of the world is fast approaching, in the form of a giant asteroid on a
collision course with Earth. Not if Goku has anything to say about it!
Goku and Krillin race to the rescue. Using their incredible powers, they
narrowly deflect the asteroid from its deadly course. The Earth is saved...
or is it?
A dark vessel descends from the surface of the asteroid, carrying a powerful
new enemy - the evil overlord, Lord Slug. His forces have come to take
control of the Earth and steal its natural resources, only in the process
they intend to wipe out the entire human race! And when Lord Slug discovers
the seven magic Dragon Balls, it seems nothing can stop his diabolical
plans from coming to pass!
Now that Lord Slug has the power of Dragon Balls in his grasp, can even
Goku save the Earth from the clutches of this mysterious invader? |
Review:
Ye gods!
I've gone deaf...again! Another Dragon Ball Z Movie Dub. The
dubbing of the voices itself wasn't all that bad. However, the infernal
garbage spewing out that some would call music was present. I've
not liked DBZ dub music in the past, but this takes the cake. What
is up with the grundge rock soundtrack.
As for the movie itself is fair. If you missed this movie, you shouldn't
lose any sleep over it. Most of the villains and ships look reused.
The whole plot of Gohan's whistling is just plain stupid. Like most
of the DBZ movies this adds nothing to the series. But this takes
the cake of adding nothing. If this was a food this would be the
equal of bitter chocolate. Looks good on the outside but is just
not up to it.
Also, if Goku became a Super Saiya-jin why didn't his hair change?
Like many of the other movies this one seems to have no real place in the
DragonBall timeline. I was looking at first at maybe the time between
Trunks came from the future and the arrival of the Androids. But
if that was true why didn't Goku just become a Super Saiya-jin and be done
with it. The movie made it like it was the first time or something.
On the other hand the
fights were pretty good for the most part. Also the animation was
pretty good. I would try the subtitled version if someone would absolutely
guarantee me that it would be more enjoyable. |
