This is a really horrible movie. It's low budget and just badly done in every way, but that is overcome by the criminally awful story and the complete lack of acting. The story focuses on a group of nameless and totally annoying children who, apparently, advise the ruling council of Japan on all matters of national security and can go where ever they want at any time. They (and maybe the rest of Japan, but that's never clearly stated) are attacked by a group of mute guys in a big rocket who dress up as huge metallic arrowheads. And then a thin and totally incompetent guy with a fin on his hat shows up and jumps in the air a lot, they fall over, and the world is saved. Oh, before that, there is the longest and least eventful air battle in cinema history.
This made a pretty good episode of MST3K, but even Mike and the Bots found the air battle near the end intolerably tedious. They gave up even trying to make fun of it at some points and just did little skits int he theater. Horrible movie, good MST3K ep. If there's one thing that will turn you against Japan, it's this. "Invasion of the Neptune Men"! Enjoy!
