Description:

Nihon Chinbotsu - Rocked by earthquakes and volcanos, Japan is slowly sinking into the sea. Original Japanese Version UNCUT and REMASTERED.

Dr. Tadokoro discovers that Japan will sink. The tectonic plates are slowly moving, and Japan is right on top of the biggest one! When the first big earthquake hits Tokyo and levels it to the ground, the panic spreads and now Japan needs the help of the whole world, from old arch enemies like China, to the US and Europe. But will they help?

It's a dark and very serious film, no humor and very merciless scenes of people getting crushed by houses, burned to ashes or watching their families die horrible deaths. Most of the disasters are spent from a distance, but sometimes we're suddenly back on the streets seeing how terrible the situations are. The disaster scenes are not even the main thing with the movie, but are very impressive when they come.
