Ultraseven Episode #21: Pursue The Undersea Base

Postby heroforhirerob » Thu May 16, 2013 8:11 pm

The Story: Aliens use parts from sunken war ships to form a robotic "Living Ship" named Ironrocks...which they equip with a powerful bomb.

The Seijin: The aliens are never really seen and Ironrocks looks like...a battleship.

The SPFX: Not too bad. The miniature work is a bit too obvious, but Ironrocks looks decent for what it is.

The Other Stuff: The episode had the potential to be really interesting by bringing up memories of Japan's Pacific War past(in the form of the ships used to bring Ironrocks to "life"), but....sadly this is barely touched on...leading to another pedestrian episode. Still waiting for this series to really rock my world....I want it to....but so far...no go.
