    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Though the film was released in 1984, the idea for Sayonara Jupiter was conceived by Toho producer Tomoyuki Tanaka during the Japanese run of the original Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) in the late 70's. He went to famous Japanese science fiction writer Sakyo Komatsu and asked him to create an story similar to Star Wars, but Komatsu chose to make a less action oriented story, more inspired by Arthur C. Clarke's novel 2010: Odyssey 2 and an article concerning Jupiter turning into a star.

    1/10
    A potential sci fi movie that fails with way too many foreign actors
    There's no secret anymore, every time there are foreigners in an Asian movie 90% of them are god awful actors and 10% are pretty good but get too small parts. Bye Bye Jupiter is no exception or shall we say worse with 99 % worse then amateur acting and 1% good acting but that is the girl who is naked.

    Dr Eiji Honda is on a mission to save humanity to create a new living planet due to earth is getting over populated. But to due that he needs to destroy Jupiter to make it a 2nd moon to march breedable. But he encounters two problems, one a activist group is onboard to sabotage his mission, two a black hole has entered the solar system.

    This movie is a big mess, it looks interesting what they had in mind but lacks because of poor choices of cast. A dreadful 3/10
