A space ship, previously sent to investigate Saturn, discovers a star said to be 6000 times larger than Earth. The news raise havoc as the star is feared to be getting closer to Earth, posing a danger to lives. Desperate to save Earth from imminent destruction, a plan is hatched to move it away from the star’s path. It is a long process that requires large amounts of atomic energy and is a race against time as the star edges closer with each passing moment. Gorath (1962) download torrent. In 1980, a giant planetoid named Gorath is discovered to be on a collision course with Earth. Even though it is smaller than Earth, its mass is huge enough to crush the Earth and destroy it. A mission sent to observe Gorath is destroyed after all the orbiting ships are drawn into the planetoid. A later mission is sent to observe and the crew barely leaves before suffering the same fate. However Astronaut Tatsuo Kanai is left in a catatonic state due to his near death experience. The Earth's scientists then come up with a desperate plan to build giant rockets at the South Pole to move Earth out of Gorath's path before it is too late. Gorath (1962) download torrent. Review: Gorath (1962) [Brenco Pictures] (2/5) Author: Nicholas Driscoll Published: January 29, 2012 Note: review may contain spoilers. Gorath . Most present day fans of Japanese fantastic films will, upon reading that title, immediately think of Godzilla: Final Wars (2004) and the hologram-star threat by the insidious Xiliens. For the savvy fans, however, the kaiju culturati if you will, we know that that Gorath was only a reference to Ishiro Honda’s 1962 space epic, Gorath , or, in the original Japanese, Yousei Gorasu (妖星ゴラス note). Gorath is the third and final in a series of space epics all directed by Honda, based off of stories written by Jojiro Okami, who would also go on to write the story for Dogora (1964). The first two films, The Mysterians (1957) and Battle in Outer Space (1959), are both probably remembered more fondly in the States than Gorath , as they have both been rereleased on DVD over here, whereas Gorath only has a couple VHS prints to its name, which relied on Brenco's cinematic edit (apparently further edited down for television). I relied on this video for my review, which astonished me with its overall incompetence in presenting what was already a story with issues. In the sci-fi world of Gorath , a star (dubbed “Gorath” for no particular reason) is discovered zooming into our solar system, and, much to the alarm of collective humanity, set on a crash course for Earth. Scientists scramble to find a way to avert disaster while an immature astronaut named Tatsuma chases a hot woman, mostly unsuccessfully. As Gorath gets closer, the scientists hatch a last-ditch, nigh-insane plan to save the world— but will it work? And, will stupid Tatsuma get some action? After writing my last movie review, on Battle in Outer Space (1959), I felt a bit bad about the vicious lashing I gave it. I wanted to give Gorath more grace, but honestly, the Brenco release was considerably worse than Battle in Outer Space . Like with Okami’s other stories, characterization is dull, thin, and more uneven than a broken seesaw, despite Takeshi Kimura’s experienced hand adapting the screenplay. Like with Okami’s previous story undergirding Battle in Outer Space (1959), Gorath has no real central character to speak of, and the characters and relationships that emerge over time seem tossed in haphazardly with no real care or focus. At the beginning, we have a spaceship flying out to investigate Gorath headed by Captain Sonoda. Sonoda is played by Jun Tazaki, who is better known as “that mustachioed general who is always fighting Godzilla and losing” in King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962), released that same year. I was excited to see Tazaki as a main character, and he possesses a commanding presence on screen, but he doesn’t survive even half the film; his ship flies too close to Gorath and is sucked in by its powerful gravitational force. Replacing Sonoda, the character who then gets the most attention is an immature space pilot named Tatsuma (Akira Kubo), who comes across as a rebellious, senseless ninny. He and his equally goofy fellow astronauts-in-training (I guess they just let anyone into the program) chortle their way into yoinking a helicopter for a quick, pointless joyride, and then Tatsuma goes to see the hot babe of his dreams, Takiko (played by the hot babe of many monster fans’ dreams, Kumi Mizuno). After all, Takiko's boyfriend recently died (in the aforementioned tragic space crash), so it’s the perfect kairotic moment to hit on her! Tatsuma shows his great maturity of character and instantly causes all of us in the audience to love him dearly when, after Takiko rebuffs him, he takes the framed picture of her deceased boyfriend and kindly whips it out the window. Okay, sarcasm deactivated. What were the writers thinking? Tatsuma is practically the main character, and his relationship with Takiko is the most fleshed out in the entire movie—which ain’t saying much, Bub. Are we supposed to hate Tatsuma? Or are we supposed to sympathize when, later, he loses his memory from staring at Gorath too much? (I guess Gorath sucks memories, too.) Takiko apparently forgives the buffoon after his amnesia strikes, and even calls him “darling” in the English dub, but the resolution of their relationship is never explicitly tied up. Thus, I can only hope that Takiko came to her senses and went to find a more suitable mate elsewhere. (A great way to dump the jerk would be for Takiko to find any pictures Tatsuma has of HER lying around, and defenestrating THEM!) Outside of Tatsuma and Takiko, the rest of the main “characters” are largely encompassed by their job descriptions—the scientist is a scientist and he works hard to save the world, and etc. A delightful scene early on shows a jovial taxi driver who discredits the threat of Gorath, and simply figures that everything will be hunky dory in the end. The scene is amusing, and reveals a particular (and real) habit of humanity to ignore threats they don't understand and just go on living. But the driver is on scene for mere seconds, and then we're back to long scenes of interminable meetings followed by dragging scenes of building construction. Performances are not so bad in the movie, but with so little of substance to work with, even the best actors in the world could not save this picture. (Come to think of it, Takashi Shimura is in this film, albeit briefly, and he WAS once lauded as the “best actor in the world” by the New York Times.) As mentioned previously, Jun Tazaki made a strong impression on me before burning up in the fires of Gorath. Akira Kubo's take on Tatsuma, I would say, is not so bad—with his boyish face, he certainly looks the part of a childish rogue, although his way of portraying an amnesiac seems to ape Kenji Sahara's from Rodan (1956), minus the freshness. Kumi Mizuno as Takiko lends her physical vivaciousness to the role, and she seems to invest in the character, but there’s just nothing there to work with. Basically, she is in the movie to look sexy in the bubble bath. Curiously enough, Japanese rarely take bubble baths. It is a huge faux pas in Japanese culture to get soap in the bathtub; when I have visited friends in Japan, they tend to remind me of this, and one of my fellow Americans once got in trouble for soaping up in a Japanese tub. Thus, the Mizuno soap bath would seem to be influenced by American or perhaps European films, and would have seemed exotic and strange for a Japanese audience. The greatest joy of watching Gorath for me was simply in spotting all the familiar Toho regulars, and most of them make appearances. Akira Kubo, Takashi Shimura, Jun Tazaki, and Kumi Mizuno have already been mentioned, but Kenji Sahara also appears, as does Akihiko Hirata, and even Dr. Who himself, Hideyo Amamoto. Of course, for all these actors, I could not hear their real voices. Unfortunately, I had to rely on the dub. Having watched the film with my friend Sam, who is a voice chaser (someone who actively tries to identify voice actors), I had great fun listening to him yell out “It’s Paul Frees!” over and over again.
