Aegis (Japan Version - English Subtitles)

YesAsia Editorial Description

Japanese Cinema's new-found zeal for nationalistic war movies continues with Aegis. Adapted from the novel by Harutoshi Fukui, (whose work also inspired two other recent military thrillers, Lorelei and Sengoku Jieitai), Aegis plays very much to an international audience with its story of international terrorism and seemingly invincible heroics.

The Isokaze, an Aegis-class escort vessel, sets sail on a routine training exercise, playing host to a platoon from the Fleet Training Group. No sooner is the Isokaze on open water, however, then the FTG reveal themselves to be terrorist stowaways who kill the ship's captain, send the rest of the crew overboard and take control of the vessel. The ship is carrying a secret biological weapon which the terrorists are now threatening to use to level Tokyo! Only a stowaway NCO, Sengoko (played by Sanada Hiroyuki from Ring and Twilight Samurai) is in a position to stop them - but does he really have what it takes to save the day? Playing like a cross between a sea-faring version of Top Gun and Die Hard, director Sakamoto Junji shows that it's not just Hollywood that can produce thrill-a-minute action spectaculars.

Product Information

人質は首都・東京。
最新鋭のイージス艦がテロリストに乗っ取られた!

福井晴敏のベストセラー小説完全映画化!!
日本映画史上空前のスケールで製作された世界規模のスペクタクル・エンターテインメント超大作、待望のDVD発売決定!!

「イージス」とはギリシャ神話に登場する最高神ゼウスが娘アテナに与えた、あらゆる邪悪を払う「無敵の盾」のこと。同時に、最新鋭の防空システムを搭載し、専守防衛の象徴ともいえる海上自衛隊の護衛艦も指し示す。だが、語るべき未来も見えず、守るべき国家の顔さえも失った「亡国の盾」に果たして意味などあるのか。この国に生きる者すべてに関わりながら、その誰もが真剣に考えることを避けてきたテーマを第一級のエンタテインメントへ昇華させた福井晴敏の110万部を超えるベストセラー「亡国のイージス」。ここに待望の完全映画化が実現された。

日本アカデミー賞最優秀主演男優賞受賞の、まさに頂点を極める“本物”の俳優たちが一同に集結。撮影は、防衛庁、海上自衛隊、航空自衛隊の全面協力のもと実物のイージス艦、戦闘機という全てが空前のリアリティの中で敢行。さらに多様なカメラ・アングルを実現するため、実物大のイージス艦の全長の約3分の2となる長さ77メートル、高さ27メートル、幅21メートルの大きさのオープンセットを建造。最高潮の緊張と興奮の中、“本物”の俳優たちがぶつかり合う。監督は人間ドラマで高い評価を受ける阪本順治。彼のメガフォンのもと、トレヴァー・ジョーンズ(音楽:「13デイズ」)やウィリアム・アンダーソン(編集:「トゥルーマン・ショー」)といった世界の第一線で活躍するハリウッド・スタッフも参加。まさに日本映画界の精鋭×ハリウッドの最高峰=世界スケールのスペクタクルが誕生した。

Very disappointing Customer Review Rated Bad 1 - 1 out of 10
The ending is just too badly written and unconvincing:-( The computer graphics in the final scene is so bad that you can't believe this from a movie production.
