The new review is Assault Girls, the story of three girls who assault sand whales or something. It looked like it was going to be cool, but looks were deceiving. Look at the photos, read the review, watch the clip, enjoy life, dance all night, draw pictures of robots…

The trailer for Mamoru Oshii’s Assault Girls has landed. The true story of a post-apocalyptic future where three hot Japanese girls hunt sand worms. Okay, maybe it’s not true. Yet! Gray (Meisa Kuroki), Lucifer (Rinko Kikuchi), and Colonel (Hinako Saeki) get into a world of trouble when a new super-giant worm shows up. Sort of like when that happened in Beetlejuice. He was the ghost with the most, baby.

Japanese girls vs giant sand worms in the post-apocalyptic future. NipponCinema brought the trailer to the outside world.
Plot: In the aftermath of global thermonuclear war, the Earth’s surface has been turned into a desert battlefield. Three beautiful female hunters: Gray (Meisa Kuroki), Lucifer (Rinko Kikuchi), and Colonel (Hinako Saeki) traverse the barren landscape armed with powerful assault rifles to fight a group of deadly sand-dwelling monsters called “sunakujira” (sand whales). When the the epic battle eventually seems to be coming to an end, the sparkle of muzzle flash dies down and assault ship flies overhead. Suddenly, a gigantic super mutation called “Madara Sunakujira” attacks.
Mamoru Oshii directs and it hits theaters in Japan in December, no word on if it will show up in the US.
