Ooooh boy. This will either get all the “Dragonball” haters even more steamed, or it’ll convince them this thing isn’t the abomination they already think it is/will be. Frankly, I have no idea. It could go either way. I mean, it looks like they’re trying to replicate the cartoons from what I can tell, but then again, my entire Dragonball viewing is owed to about an hour’s worth — total. So, uh, “Dragonball” guys, you’ll either love this first look at the set, and various characters from the movie, or you’ll just hate the crap out of them. You decide!
The story begins with a young humanoid boy named Goku, who discovers that he was sent to Earth to blend in and destroy our population but instead elects to protect it from an oncoming alien onslaught bent on dominating the universe and controlling the mystical objects. He seeks out upon his adoptive grandfather Grandpa Gohan’s dying request to find the great Master Roshi and gather all seven Dragon Balls. Of which he has one, in order to prevent the evil Lord Piccolo from succeeding in his desire to use the Dragon Balls to take over the world. And Goku’s quest is to obtain the mystical Dragonballs before Piccolo does.
