Wow! What a terrible film. The worst in the entire franchise up to this point. Hopefully it gets better by the time I review GAMERA SUPER MONSTER from 1980 or the mid '90's Gamera series. I hope they're better than this terrible movie.
As has been written about previously, it's another space aliens invade Earth scenario, this time involving a giant shark like fish from outer space. I think the writer and director just plain ran out of ideas or something.
The constant meandering story that leads to nothing. It is definitely a story for kids but a stupid story at that. This movie was so bad that the Japanese release was 1971, but it wasn't until 1987 that it came to American TV, not to American theaters.
Two curious things about this movie are that it's a Japanese movie with Japanese in it and no Americans for a change, but the Japanese kids are called Kenny and Helen, Huh? What? And the adults last names are curious too. Dr. Wallace and Dr. Henry, What? Who? And they're Japanese you can plainly see, but with American names. Whatever.
The Zigra conflict finally ends but what a waste of one's precious time. I'm not even sure if this is a good enough film for late night viewing.
And once again, this film has the ever annoying kids that almost every Gamera feature has.
Director Noriaki Yuasa and writer Niisan Takahashi clearly had no where else to go with this franchise, and it shows and is sad.
No Stars. I guess I'm stuck with at least one star 'cause I can't take it off.
