this is so underrated. while it was kinda predictable at moments, i thoroughly enjoyed watching almost every moment of this movie. the effects were incredible for 1960 and the story was good enough to keep me interested throughout the whole duration of the movie. i’m glad this was my first movie of 2026. rest in peace ishirō honda, you legend

Firstly, why am I watching this at 1 AM on a school day? Well because i got explosive diarrhea from shitty school food and i have been sitting all night by the toilet. so there’s that.

And the film ugh, i loved the monsters SO much ESPECIALLY the squid, the special effects and beatiful landscapes of the island were wonderful, but the plain ane boring human characters were triggering me so bad for the whole film. Like SO bad that i wanted to turn it off many times. Anyway, ending was pretty cool looking and the underwater scenes triggered my thalassophobia very badly which is a good thing tho.

idk why they went with the squid kaiju as the poster boy for this film. The crab & turtle are way cooler

I loved the effects and the locations in this one. They have some really great costumes for the monsters. These movies are super entertaining. It has a fun wacky sci-fi plot mixed with some fun island vibes. They do a good job playing with the scale of the monsters. Honda has such a fun wacky filmography
