Zeiram: 30th Anniversary Edition

I did not see this movie with overly high expectations.My demands for a movie are fairly rigid. Whatever happens must be within the bounds of the world that is portrayed. As long as this consistency is maintained I am willing to suspend disbelief to what occurs.It is well made, well written, the acting is good (but why do these movies ALWAYS need a comic relief character?).I was actually impressed with how well the story was told, how the contrivances of the story were incorporated and made perfect sense within the the boundaries of the story. The characters and dialogue were believable for the story.Zeiram is not the first but the second movie in this story.The first is the anime Iria.  Iria: Zeiram the Animation - Complete Series (Limited Edition Collector's Tin) There is also a second live action film - Zeiram II  The Zeiram Duology (Zeiram 1&2 Double Feature) .

Outstanding flick. well worth a watch.

Love the anime so bought the live version. Just as funny to watch like the cartoon

Nice reissue of the Zeiram movie with Japanese track and English subs for those who don't care for dubs. Nice compliment to Zeiram II and the animated version IRIA

Awesome sci-fi epic the acting is good and the soundtrack is good as well.

I have been looking for this disc for years, no problem with my order very happy and will order again from this seller.

It seems to be a DVD encoded from a VHS feed. Not true DVD clarity. Never saw a real DVD with VHS snow and artifacts.

For those of you who remember watching "Iria: Zeriam the animation" anime... LOOK OUT! for the sequal is here! and oddly enough... it's live action!I leaped at the oppertunity to see this simply because i knew it was going to be bad. If you're expecting the same kind of action and plot from the anime, don't, cuz this is totally different.Iria and Fujikuro have been staying on earth collecting bounty. When Iria is sent off to bring back a robot Zeriam assistant, Fujikuro destroys her transport system only to discover she took the item which would have given him good money. SO he hijacks a friend of iria's and goes searching for her to steal it. Meanwhile the robot Zeriam goes haywire and starts assasinating everything in site. Now iria, Fujikuro, a groom and an electritian have to defeat Zeriam before he closes a ZONE and obliterates them all. Sound confusing yet? it gets better!Now the acting isn't the highlight of the film, nor is the action (several times you can see the string holding them in the air). But what i was really amazed at was how they build suspence. The writers obviously knew what they were doing because the movie just builds and builds with problems. And when you think you've overcome ONE problem 4 more arise to take it's place. Despite the little budget, this movie does have a certain appeal to it. The directors even got around the special fx here and there and instead of having explosions and rapid scene cuts, we actually get a chance to watch the characters be themselves. Good rest points to the action to soon ensue.If you don't care about cheezy special FX and don't mind rubber monster costumes then this is a good movie for you. If not, go buy the anime and be happy. For the rest of you, ENJOY!
