how anybody could rate this movie highly be beyond me . the acting be atrocious . a others have say and from the first scene on and the main character can not seem to stand and spend most of his time crawl around whine . in fact he only able to stand long enough to yell at someone ( usually the female lead ) then fall down again . for those that do not speak japanese and the dialog consist of either mindless blabbering or pathetic pissing and moaning ( usually by the main character ) . the whole point of these disaster movie be to put people in a tough ( but interest ) situation and watch them deal with it . in this case the completely impotent main character refuse to do anything at all and only get through each strange encounter by combination of sheer luck and clumbsiness and movie magic . honestly and this movie would be good if hollywood redo it and put mr. bean in the lead . disaster movie do not always require a well refine plot a they be often more about action and or or character dynamic but this film have absolutely no plot . nothing be explain at all . the other character act completely randomly and there be no decent action thanks to the limp wristed main character .
