After an alien invasion threatens to annihilate the human race, a young girl named Milly (Anne Suzuki) must go back in time, and enlist the reluctant aid of skilled gunman Miyamoto (Takeshi Kaneshiro) to discover and prevent the start of the war. However trouble ensues when the two protagonists are forced to deal with a Japanese mafia boss named Mizoguchi (Goro Kishitani) who is somehow involved in the start of the war, all the while racing to find a way to stop the oncoming destruction. (official distributor synopsis)

Returner is an endearingly naïve cross between The Terminator, Independence Day, E.T., The Matrix and Mission: Impossible II. The film doesn’t lack a sense of detachment and is lightened up with some pleasant humor, but unfortunately it is also funny in the moments when it’s pretending to be completely serious. But you can’t be angry about that. Its creator is like a small child who loves big American sci-fi action movies and made his dream come true. If you liked Equilibrium, you’ll be OK with this.
