Plot: A mythical weapon becomes the centerpiece in an interdimensional battle. Three women cross dimensions to seek out the weapon, while a feudal lord also sends some men to retrieve it, as it's being used to make indestructible swords. When the weapon awakens, controlling it becomes the real challenge.

Cheesy fun, and that's exactly what I was hoping to get. Amemiya has proven himself a capable director with this type of material (think tokusatsu action, but a little darker), and things certainly get a little weird. The plot isn't the most coherent, but it's simple enough to follow along.
There are some familiar faces here (I didn't expect Hiroshi Abe to show up in a film like this), but you're not watching this for the performances. The creature designs are fun, the effects are a little crummy but in a charming way, and the pacing is slick. There's a lot of fun to be had with this one, as long as you can appreciate the tokusatsu elements.
