A Review Too Far - 082715

This week, our Cinema Geeks review Dragon Ball Z:Battle of Gods, Persepolis, and out in theaters now, American Ultra.First up, Dragon Ball Z:Battle of Gods attempts to revitalize the famous fighting anime with a film focused on the new threat of universal "Destroyer" Beerus who awakes from a decades-long slumber to discover series star Goku and friends have defeated all the annoying warriors of the galaxy. Beerus quickly travels to Earth to see what all the fuss is about and challenges Goku to show him the power of a Super Saiyan God.After that is Persepolis, a french-language animated film that is the adaptation of the autobiographical graphic novel by the same name. Telling the tale of author Marjane Satrapi's youth both in Iran during the fall of the Shah and Vienna during her formative years, this film is an often raw look at history, both personal and worldly, from a perspective not often shown to Western audiences.Finally, our cinema release is the CIA mind-control action comedy American Ultra, which stars Jesse Eisenberg as a screwup stoner who becomes targeted by the very government that turned him into an unwitting assassin without him even realizing it thanks to his copious drug use.
