“Alien vs. Ninja” is a 2010 Japanese action film characterised by its crazy ideas and combinations of science fiction, martial arts and horror. The film follows a group of ninja who are confronted with an invasion of alien creatures.
The action takes place in a fictional world where the ninja warriors are searching for a stolen artefact. Along the way, however, they encounter a group of aliens who have it in for Earth and use their powers to fight the ninja. However, they are equipped not only with their traditional weapons such as swords and shuriken, but also with modern technologies such as firearms and rocket launchers.
The ideas in the film are very creative and often absurd, such as the aliens attacking with tentacles or a scene where a ninja shoots down a plane with a shuriken. There is also a very entertaining scene where a ninja in a robot suit fights the aliens.
The film is known for its bloody and brutal action scenes in which both the ninja and the aliens are killed in spectacular fashion. But humour is not neglected either, such as a scene in which a ninja accidentally kills his comrades by throwing a bomb in the wrong direction.
All in all, “Alien vs. Ninja” is a very entertaining and crazy film that stands out for its unique ideas and its mixture of different genres. The film is certainly not for everyone, but for fans of action films, science fiction and horror it is a real highlight.
