Thermae Alien

About This Movie

Thermae Alien is this quirky 2012 sci-fi comedy that takes you into a bizarre world where an alien visits Earth to understand our bathing rituals. The tone is light, almost whimsical, but there's this underlying naughtiness that keeps it intriguing. Yui Aikawa, with her striking presence, brings a unique energy to the film, navigating her character through a rather unusual triangle with the earthlings. It's one of those films that embraces its oddities, with practical effects that can be charmingly low-budget yet effective. The pacing is playful, keeping the viewer engaged while exploring themes of otherness and cultural exchange, albeit through a slightly off-kilter lens. It’s distinctive in its approach, making it a curious watch for genre enthusiasts.
