⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
Two meteorites appear in the night sky, witnessed by an elderly sculptor on his walk home. The next day weird shit starts happening. A heatwave hits Hong Kong along with some hot rain, an earthquake and the brief disappearance of gravity. The sculptor’s son is a “space scientist” and believes some nuclear activity from the sun is to blame but as things continue to get strange (everything moves in reverse from puppies to airplanes) the scientist and his scientist wife discover an alien race has paid a visit to earth. The scientist’s fun-loving sister gets sucked up into the heavens and ends up found passed out on top of a building. She comes to and shares a story about goofy-ass Martians coming to earth to end our development of nuclear energy. Science fails but luckily for the world (well, at least Hong Kong) the elderly sculptor has been devoutly sculpting a stature in honor of an ancient Chinese God-General named Kuan Yu (according to the subtitles) and he has more faith in him then his son’s science when it comes to saving the planet (well, at least Hong Kong). With enough prayer, the giant god-general lends a colossal hand in the battle against the silly laser-club wielding Martian menace. Super low-budget and super fun Taiwanese kaiju flick is exactly the kind of bargain-bin monster shenanigans this idiot loves. The opening is a bit slow-going but the Martian/warrior-god battles are more than worth the wait.
