Warner Japan’s new big budget disaster movie 252: Signal of Life has received new trailerage and its armed to the teeth with big budget destruction I can only compare to a Roland Emmerich film. Earthquakes, Typhoons, hailstorms, and tidal waves engulfing cities to the sweet tones of jpop - its all here in spades and I'm totally down.
A few weeks after a gigantic earthquake strike Tokyo, the temperature of the Pacific Ocean suddenly increased and causes the largest typhoon ever seen in Japan to head towards Tokyo with devastating force. The tidal wave generated by the typhoon covers the coastal city area with water. The Tokyo Fire Department dispatches its elite rescue unit, Hyper Rescue, and their sonar picks up a signal from underwater. Beneath the ground, in one devastated subway station, there is someone sending out a code which is known to rescuers only: 252 252 "We have survivors!
Unfortunately there are still no English subs but, as an added bonus, watch for the end of the trailer where an ad explains how to get your hands on a branded 252 alert whistle.
