The Ultraman television series and movies have been a staple of Japanese TV since the 1960s. The Ultraman X movie is based upon the Ultraman X series; in fact, I recommend watching the Ultraman X Series Episode 8 - Ultraman X Recap - Encounters and Friends as the movie assumes we know who everyone is and how they relate to each other. I watched the movie first and hand to assume some of the elements. Ultraman grew out of the Godzilla movies and in the first series, many of the costumes used were monsters from the movies. The plot follows the Xio organization as they fight a series of monsters.
Reality TV host Carlos Kurozaki takes an item from an underground pyramid during a show. The gem was the key to keep the monster, Zaigorg, locked away. Zaigorg wants to gain the gem and uses kaiju to Try to gain its powers. Ultraman X, Ultraman Tiga, and the Original Ultraman from 1966 win the day.

I bought a copy of the movie in the cheap bin at a chain store that is closing; in effect, it is a discounted cheap bin movie. There is nothing original, the acting is awkward, the script is forced, the music is unmemorable, the ghosts' makeup is poorly executed (pun intended), and the filming is cheaply done. Having said all of that, one can get a bit of ironic enjoyment out of the movie. Compared to the movie, Ghost Trap also known as Little Ghost Grabbers (2012), Ghost Goggles is several steps above. The cover of the DVD has a photograph that shows googles on a kid, but the googles in the movie are more Harry Potter style round rim glasses, not goggles; in addition, the kid on the cover does not look like the kid in the movie. There is a kitten in the movie as on the cover. The story is one that might play as a made for TV kids network show. I have seen some say it has inappropriate elements, but I did not see any.
