How It Feels

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

A creature-on-the-loose thriller that plays as earnest disaster spectacle, with the U.S. military scrambling to contain an atomic-mutated kaiju rampaging through Manhattan. It's big, loud, and sustained action with genuine stakes around an unstoppable force of nature.
