Wow! Such a good movie.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

"Doragon bôru: Sûpâ saiyajin zetsumetsu keikaku" or "Dragon Ball: Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans" is an animated Japanese short film from 2010 directed by Yoshihiro Ueda. It runs for slightly under half an hour and is of course anime in the Japanese language, so you may need subtitles. But if you consider watching it, you probably know the Dragon ball franchise well enough to be aware of that. It is a story about revenge as one evil mastermind plans to use a magic barrier to destroy life on Planet Earth. Of course, the gang of heroes does all they can to fight him and in the process of that they run into some familiar faces they thought to be long gone and also a new very strong enemy. I think these familiar faces, even if they provide huge spoilers I guess, are the best thing about this one as they bring back some characters people are missing perhaps and it's a nice little tribute to the earlier days of Dragon Ball. Other than that, it's really nothing special here about this one. But it''s not bad either I guess. Pretty much what you could expect and even if it does not get me curious about the series really (haven't seen much apart from some short films), I still give it a thumbs-up. It was an okay watch worth checking out.
