!Tropes for the film:
* CounterEarth: "Planet R" is on a collision course with Earth. One-eyed, starfish-shaped aliens from the Counter-Earth Paira take on human forms to warn the Earth about the impending disaster.
* CoversAlwaysLie: Posters for the film exclusively present the movie as being about a starfish kaiju that attacks Japan. The story is actually about a friendly race of literal Starfish Aliens [[BenevolentAlienInvasion who came to Earth to warn them about a collision with a rogue planet called Planet R]].
* StarfishAliens: The movie has literal Starfish Aliens. They're quite aware of this too, so they [[VoluntaryShapeshifting transform themselves]] into humans to [[AFormYouAreComfortableWith communicate with Earthlings]]. May be a borderline case of this, as they speak Japanese/English from the onset. Also the inverse is true with the aliens more than a little weirded out by the human form when they encounter humans.
