Justice has been served.

Douglas Aird may have made the discovery of the century, yet all his hopes of fame and glory turn into nothing when, boasting about his fantastic invention, he 'jokingly ' said he would also be a great Judge, making him sentenced to death. In the land of the ever young and immortal Great Judge, nobody can so much as dare defy his power.

Not bad, not great either, but just enjoyable enough. A solid idea, with a somewhat messy, confusing delivery, but still reasonably good. Reminds me of this movie...

Se hizo justicia.

Douglas Aird puede que haya hecho el descubrimiento del siglo, pero todas sus esperanzas de fama y gloria se desvanecen cuando, alardeando de su fantástico invento, dice 'bromeando' que también sería un gran juez, lo que le condena a muerte. En la tierra del siempre joven e inmortal Gran Juez, nadie puede atreverse a desafiar su poder.

No está mal, aunque tampoco es excelente, pero sí lo suficientemente disfrutable. Una idea sólida, con una entrega algo desordenada y confusa, pero aún así razonablemente buena. Me recuerda a esta película...
