although made in 1970, this movie is clearly 60ish. SFX are very bland and we have to lower our expectations rock bottom. The plot is the typical Gamera plot involving lots of kiddie action. However, this one holds water well enough. The "minisubmarine" item shows again ( as in the Viras movie ). The 2 kids are silly but not outrightly unbearable. The score from Shushuke Kikuchi is a ripoff of his score of "Tiger man", a 1968 cartoon about wrestling. a family movie for families with children under 12. The plot is not overdone and develops nicely, genre-wise. all in all, men-in-suit smashing miniatures at its cheapest.
