Overview

In 1965, the space station JSS-3 is destroyed by a fleet of UFOs, which then begin a global siege on Earth, using rays to manipulate gravity and control the minds of men. In response, a global council meeting is held to determine the source of the attacks and prepare a rocket ship armada for a counter-attack, a true battle in outer space. . .  The film is a sequel of sorts to Toho’s THE MYSTERIANS in the reprise of the Etsuko Shiraishi character of that film as its heroine.  It was edited to 74 minutes for its American release.

Length 90 minutes

Viewing Notes

Last film of 2012! Kinda appropriate it’s a Japanese film and one from Ishirô Honda. But it’s rather dry in the setup and delivery. The miniature work is quite fun but not a particularly good film overall. I prefer The Mysterians or H-Man over this.
