n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Blistering performances.

SPACE TRAVELERS is a comic thriller about three men (TakeshiKaneshiro, Masanobu Ando and Hiroyuki Ikeuchi), orphans all,who decide to rob a bank just before closing time to finance theirescape to a tropical paradise. Plans, as they often do, go southand the trio ends up trapped in the locked-down bank with aneclectic and eccentric collection of staff and customers, each ofwhom corresponds to characters in an anime show adored by oneof the robbers (Ando, the psycho kid in BATTLE ROYALE). In shortorder, the hostages realize their captors are actually misguidedlosers and decide to help them out, adopting character namesfrom the anime and making the growing throngs of cops outsidethink the gang is much bigger than it really is and, in the process,discovering untapped potential and new senses of purpose intheir mundane lives. A fast-paced, often touching piece of work,with extremely well-drawn characters.

This movie was an unexpected gem. It is one of those rare movies where after just a few minutes you forget that it is sub-titled and are fully absorbed into the plot.The film is very funny. The laughs are spread around and there are some great performances. I especially liked "Crusher" who had a dead pan life weary outlook that shone through.I won't go into the plot other than it involves a simple bank robbery where everything goes wrong and the outcome is unexpected.This is a truly wonderful movie well worth watching and great entertainment.

I bought the dvd after reading a couple of good reviews and a interesting synopsis. I like the idea that instead of a live action anime that would never work (like Dragonball live action) they instead had a character resemblance movie. That was a clever idea to execute the movie and at the same time make it closely based on a Japanese animation. However 30 minutes into the movie it became a disaster case. It was unbelievablely corny. Anyone who finds this movie good, has serious problems and has absolutely no taste in movies what so ever.

I was lucky enough to be in Singapore at the time of the release of this movie, and I'm certainly glad for it. The movie was one of the more artistic and stylish action movies that I have ever seen, with some libertine cinematography and a dash of the fantastic. I'm not a big fan of subtitles, but the humor shines through in any language, and it's definitely worth seeing.Although it is a "bank heist gone wrong" movie, it is surprisingly well done, with vibrant--if slightly shallow--characters, understated and well-placed special effects, a hip, hip soundtrack, and a good sense of humor about itself. Highly recommended.
