Fifty years of war between the Great Eastern Federation and Europa - now merged as Eurasia - have taken their toll on planet Earth. As a result of the use of biological, chemical and nuclear weapons, much of Earth has become uninhabitable and people have become prey to new diseases. Professor Azuma's "neo-cell" project, which is supposed to be the answer to mankind's hardships, becomes a nightmare come true when mutants spawned from the experiment escape and declare war on the human race. Azuma's son Tetsuya, who was killed during the previous war, is reborn into the cyborg Casshern as mankind's last hope against the new mutant threat. This live-action sci-fi movie based on a 1973 Japanese animé of the same name.

    This movie is one of the main reasons I decided to study film in college. It uses, CG, matte paintings, green screen, and claymation to do all the effects. It's a very stylish take. The story is very powerful. Each time I've watched the movie I am always left thinking about the plot and it's overarching meaning. I highly recommend this film. Just have an open mind to the world and directing choices.

    A terrible mix including the myth of Frankenstein (there is even an Igor), 1984 and the Nazi holocaust and an ultra-violent video game a la Final Fantasy, cooked for advocating in favor of world peace (?). Also, terrible monologues, the typical Japanese over-drama and an OST to be burnt. Just giving it some points for its aesthetic which I don't like but I can see the effort on it, as it was also done in "300".
