Ultraman Tiga: A Odisséia Final

Adventures of Ultraman Tiga, and the members of GUTS team continues in this made for a theater movie. The movie has expensive looks and feel to it more than other Ultraman movies, and looks lot like TOHO's tokusatsu movies.

Daigo, and Rena are finally tying the knot. In the mean time, Capt. Iruma is on an expedition trip to the remote island of R'lyeh that houses three mysterious Ultraman like stone statues. The expedition is attempting to revive the three stone figures. For some reason Iruma knows that this will cause trouble and tries to stop the expedition team, but fails, and the three giants awakes. They were evil Ultraman from 30 million years ago of whom Tiga was part of. Iruma reverts them back to stone by the power of Uzare. Daigo is now haunted by one of the dark Giants, and is given the power to transform back to the evil Ultraman Tiga.

Unlike other Ultraman movies, this movie was not made immediately after, or during the production of the TV series. It's supposedly due to unavailability of Hiroshi Nagano who plays Daigo, and from decision to focus the production budget on the main series. The result seemed to have worked in this movie's favor as well, as all the actors are well rested after 3 years, and the movie seems to have bigger budget to it as well.

This movie is extremely well made with excellent plot, and acting. It's certainly one of the (if not the) best movie to come out of Tsuburaya Production, and is highly recommended for viewing.

Ultraman Tiga: The Final Odyssey sets after Tiga Final battle, and then when Daigo thought he is already done with all that Ultraman stuff, it isn't.

When the team of investigation and research fleed to ancient historical ruins in R'lyeh, with the command from the mission Project F, Captain Iruma from GUTS also there, the purpose of the mission is to move the statue of ancient Ultraman, but then before that, Iruma had a vision about a darkness beyond the wall, and it shouldn't be breaked, but it's just too late because the ignorace takes it all, and the darkness rises from the deep abyss.

Oh boy, how i loved this movie man! When i was a child i used to watch many cartoons or power ranger, Ultraman, anime etc every sunday morning till the afternoon, but this one hits different because of the fragments of the moving images inside this movie that sticks! The ancient of Ultraman civilization! With all Ultraman fossils, flames exploding and two sides doing a battle, me and my Lil bro even used to imagining the ruins in real life when there is a land under construction that unfinished yet, so basically there is rocks and etc that is identical.

I really really amazed with the scoring of this movie man! It's soo damn good and makes me having a goosebumps! Definitely the score / music is the winner here! But also the relationship between Daigo and Rena soo touching too!

Essentially, Ultraman Tiga: The Final Odyssey blend the action, sci-fi and also the romance between Daigo and Rena, but it's not only that, the theme involve also about light and darkness, heroism, authenticity, history, and the one i just notice: The Willpower and solidarity of masses!
