Space Invaders, But Real. And Bad-Ass.

Big Man Japan: I’ve decided this is my new favorite movie and I haven’t even seen it yet.

Daisato is a slacker transformed into a hulking giant by an intense electric shock and then commissioned to defend Japan against other giant monsters.

Released in Japan in 2007, limited US screenings begin May 2009.
