Evil alien Zeiram (Mizuho Yoshida) has landed on earth to wreak havoc, but fortunately, there's intergalactic bounty hunter Iria (Yuko Moriyama), who sends him to some kind of parallel pocket dimension that's devoid of people to fight him. Unfortunately, two dim-witted eletricians (Kunihiro Ida, Yukijiro Hotaru) get caught in the pocket dimension with her, complicate the capture of the creature, and once Iria has captured Zeiram and gotten back to real earth ahead of the others, the electricians accidently free the alien again and now have to fight it on their own because Iria is stuck in the real world for the longest time. At long last though, she gets back to the pocket dimension and helps the electricians defeat Zeiram, then she sneds them and the alien back - but Zeiram doesn't stay down for long once in the real world and transforms in a giant tentacled monster, and now Iria is stuck in the pocket dimension which is rapidly disintegrating.

Everything ends happily though ...

 

If you are still as much in touch with your inner child as me, you simply want to like this film: It's got a grotesque alien, a female bounty hunter in a sexy battle suit, and lots of chases, explosions and the like.

So why don't I like this movie then?

Because it's on one hand too straight-forward and lacks any kind of irony, and on the other the two male leads, the electricians who are also supposed to provide the comic relief, are rather obnoxious. Problem with them is that a) they are not very funny, and b) their unfunny and unnecessary shenanigans often slow down the story to a screeching halt.

Sure, there are still some nice effects in this one, and the whole thing has an almost irresisiable low buidget charm, it's just a shame that none of this is really allowed to come to life.
