Ultraman 2004/ Ultraman Nexus was technically a "Shin" version of Ultraman, but it's interesting to see what Hideaki Anno could do for this entry.

Loved his version of Godzilla, seems to be in the same vein.

Honestly thought the monsters would look more impressive. Seems they just went the weekly version style.

Bit disappointed with the look of the CGI to be honest. I'm assuming this won't be a straight forward Ultraman movie?

Its a low budget movie from Japan. You aren't getting high end CGI. Shin Godzilla was no different.

I think Shin Godzilla mixed practical with CGI (I could be wrong) and it looked good. This doesn't look much better than the Philippines Voltes V TV series coming out. Maybe it looks worse because Voltes V is going for the cartoony look whereas Shin Ultraman should have a more realistic look..



*EDIT*
A Philippines TV show really shouldn't look comparable to a Japanese movie.

Interesting. Will definitely be giving this one a watch.

Most of Shin Godzilla was CGI. They built an animatronic rig of Godzilla's final form but i don't think it was used that often.

Some things in Shin Godzilla looked good, but other times it looked very low budget. It is what it is when you only have a budget of $10-20 Million (Godzilla vs Kong has a budget of 150-200 Million). I'd expect much of the same with Shin Ultraman in terms of the CGI quality varying across the film.

Looks exactly like Shin Godzilla, only with a giant silver guy kicking monster butt.

Is this going to be set in the same universe?

I saw Shin Godzilla on a screen meant for 70mm IMAX movies. It wasn't stretched or anything, but it was huge and glorious. Hoping the same theater is still around and picks this up when it releases.

Love Ultraman

It's a movie about Ultraman called Ultraman.

 

[UnNamed]

IIRC for Shin Godzilla they wanted a puppet-like effect, but the result wasn't very convincing, especially at the beginning of the movie.

What does Shin version mean?

In this context "Shin" means new.
