The nations of Earth discover an alien race with a powerful anti-gravity weapon is planning to invade Earth, and send two spaceships to attack the aliens' secret base on the moon.
Although the quality of special effects in Japanese science fiction films is sometimes compromised by obvious miniatures, and to be honest, there are some of those here, but as a whole, the special effects are very well-done, and help make this adventure believable. Although we unfortunately don't get to see any of the aliens up close, other than some small helmeted figures which attack some of the crew in one scene, Gojira veteran Honda and his team craft some thrilling sequences, featuring ray guns, flying saucers, and explosions a plenty.
