Critics Sentiment
Ultraman and Ultradad battle Onda's giant mecha together
Kaiju Defense Force attacks Ken's home destroying Mina
The film jumps from its lowest point during the home invasion to its highest during the spectacular final battle sequence.
Ultraman: Rising starts with mixed reception due to predictable setup and an unlikable protagonist, but finds its emotional core when the baby kaiju is introduced. The film builds steadily through heartfelt parenting themes before culminating in a widely praised final battle that showcases stunning animation and brings all story elements together.
