Shin Ultraman - POV

 


Tentatively set for a Summer release in Japan, Shin Ultraman is the second feature from disaster movie dream team Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi. Unlike their previous collaboration, Shin Godzilla, Higuchi is taking sole directorial credit here, with Anno listed as a writer-producer. Not that you'd know it, looking at this trailer. Higuchi has definitely absorbed some of Anno's fragmented perspectives, particularly camera angles that stress an absence of recording equipment and monster reveals that are anchored in a specific viewpoint - be that a helicopter news report or a stunned onlooker.
