Returner (IMDB)

Nothing too terribly exciting but the movie's probably at least worth a rental. It's a japanese movie with your typical cheesy sci-fi plot: Young girl from the year 2087 or something retarded travels back in time to the year 2002 to stop the incident that triggers a massive war between an alien race and humans (Weee) and teams up with a present day assassin to assist her in her mission.

In short, it's live-action anime. I was rather suprised at how well done the action shots were but they seemed a little sparse throughout the movie. However the relationship between the two main characters is amusing at times and helps the slower parts of the movie along.

I payed ten bucks for the DVD so it exceeded my expectations of being total crap :D
Oh, and your poet Eliot had it all wrong:
THIS is the way the world ends.
