How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A colorful, deliberately campy kaiju spectacle where giant monsters with wildly different personalities must overcome their rivalries to face an overwhelming cosmic threat. Pure escapist monster-movie fun played with a wink and a smile.

Pretty light on new commentary but its ideas and things in this film are so fun and insane that I can't help but like it.

Also the final fight was really fucking good.
I will never get over those puppets tho, one time they'll look fine and then they'll look like the funniest shit ever.
