After an alien invasion threatens to annihilate the human race, a young Japanese girl, named Milly, travels back in time from 2084 to October 2002, and enlists the reluctant aid of skilled Tokyo gunman, named Miyamoto, to discover and prevent the start of the war. However, trouble ensues when the two protagonists are forced to deal with a Japanese mafia boss, named Mizoguchi, who is somehow involved in the start of the war by keeping the first alien spaceship and its alien pilot captive, while our two heroes race against the clock to find a way to stop the oncoming destruction from the vengeance-seeking alien invasion fleet on its way to Earth.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
This Japanese sci-fi actioner copies so many Hollywood hits that it should win an award from the Xerox Corp.
– Richard James Havis,
Hollywood Reporter,
17 Oct 2003
rotten:
Returner was a huge hit in Japan, but this would- be sci-fi epic is soporific, shamelessly derivative and barely coherent by American standards.
– Lou Lumenick,
New York Post,
17 Oct 2003
fresh:
With little room for new ideas, the film must rely on the strength of its actors, and they're excellent across the board.
– Peter Hartlaub,
San Francisco Chronicle,
17 Oct 2003
fresh:
This irresistibly over-the-top delight remains truly original in spite of its debt to an array of cinematic chestnuts.
– Ted Fry,
Seattle Times,

rotten:
A fourth-generation Terminator hand-me-down.
