The new Japanese trailer for the eagerly awaited Dragonball movie has arrived, and it looks amazing… had it come out in the mid to late nineties.  It’s quite possible I may have missed it somehow, and maybe the movie has in fact been sitting on a studio shelf somewhere for the past ten years, but I doubt it.  The movie comes out next year, and the visual effects are already a decade old.  On the bright side, Jamie Chung shows some cleavage.  Here’s the trailer.

Am I being too harsh?  Do the effects actually look good to you?  That fight scene on the wire looks incredibly bad, as does the pocket motorcycle transformer.

Dragonball: Evolution tells the story of Goku, a moussed-up teenager on a quest to find Master Roshi and the seven Dragonballs.  The evil Lord Ricola Piccolo is also after the valuable lizard gnads which he hopes to use to conquer the world!  Who will find the testicles first?  Can Goku save the world and bed Chi Chi?  What happened to the eighth Dragonball (because they come in pairs right?)

Find out April 8th, 2009 when Dragonball: Evolution hits theaters!

In case it wasn’t obvious, many of you are substantially more familiar with the Dragonball universe than I… so what do you think of the trailer?
