I watched this movie the first time on Netflix in Europe. It was pretty good, good actors, bit cheap CGI but ok, as far as Japanese movies go, it's pretty decent. However, there were some jarring cuts to "American" soldiers and "American" embassy personnel that completely changed the tone of the movie, putting a spin on it that it the poor Japanese should be helped by Americans or otherwise will not manage to cope with the situation.

On a rewatch using a different site, I found out that the jarring American scenes are only in there in western markets, to appeal to foreign viewers. The original cut doesn't include any western bits and leave a lot of the cheesy and redundant scenes out of it.

So, if you watch this, make sure you watch the Japanese cut in Japanese language. You will thank me later.
