More fodder for fans of the original material. Tsutsumi never managed to deliver a true cinematic experience for the Trick films. They feel more like TV movie money grabs, despite the talent present in front of the camera. Despite its epic subtitle, this film offers limited improvements over previous efforts.
The mix of fantasy and science is odd enough, sadly, the comedy often feels out of place. There are some quirky characters and some wacky/random moments scattered throughout, but they're never as fun or outlandish as they were meant to be. It's a shame this couldn't ever live up to its full potential.
