Today is the day! Netflix’s Ultraman: Rising is available for streaming on Netflix! This movie is full of tremendous heart while being an adventure movie from start to end. This is a gorgeous animated movie following Ken Soto, who is hotheaded baseball player who takes on Ultraman from his father, who he no longer talks to. He starts out being very self centered and unlikeable. A true cocky character but that changes when he forced to become a surrogate father to a kaiju baby. Will he learn from his mistakes? Will becoming a dad change him? Will his relationship with his father get better? This was a very remarkable and enjoyable movie with true life lessons. There is many highs and some lows so get ready to go on an emotional rollercoaster.
Synopsis: With Tokyo under siege from rising monster attacks, baseball star Ken Sato reluctantly returns home to take on the mantle of Ultraman. But the titanic superhero meets his match when he is forced to adopt a 35-foot-tall, fire-breathing baby kaiju. Sato must rise above his ego to balance work and parenthood while protecting the baby from forces bent on exploiting her for their own dark plans. In partnership with Netflix, Tsuburaya Productions, and Industrial Light & Magic, Ultraman: Rising is written by Shannon Tindle and Marc Haimes, directed by Shannon Tindle, and co-directed by John Aoshima.
