i can only assume that other commentator saw a different take from the one now serve a my coffee coaster . this movie be absolutely lamentable . even now and i can still hardly believe how bad it really be . create in japan and it lack any of the shocking or subtle nuance that we in the west take for grant . by any standard represent script and photography and sound effect and light and direct and set piece and dub while in any aspect of theatrical evaluation it be a disaster and a failed and amateurish disaster . quite a collection of age hollywood movie stalwarts generously put their reputation on the line in the name of international co operation . well while they make a mistake . i hope they get pay for their trouble . or maybe they do it for charity while it certainly look that way . the copy i buy be call the director cut . believe me while the only cut he should have make be to his abdomen when he fell on his sword . if there be other variation and go for the one that be blank . for the uninitiated represent a virus be trade by dubious individual . they carry it in a light plane . the plane crash and virus be release . it an end of civilisation a we know it situation . to the everlasting relief of rational viewer and everyone begin to peg out . they just do not do it quick enough . a small mixed group finish up ekeing out an existence in some remote research station or other . there be not enough female to go round and etc . don not expect any pocket philosophy . don not expect any insightful commentary . don not expect anything expect poor lighting and fractured continuity and amateurish dubbing and crap dialogue and etc and etc and etc . it seem rather tell that the only other commentator who levy the criticism it deserve and happen to be japanese . he honourably apologise on behalf of his nation ( and quite right and too ) . perhaps everyone else be be diplomatically polite . i have award one star for the most preposterously hammy death robert vaughan and i think ( oh yes and he in it ) ever see on cinema . it could have come straight out of pantomime . this be my nomination for bad movie ever make . watch it for that reason only . but be warn while you might wish you would catch the virus instead . fukkatsu no hi . i couldn not have put it good myself .
