If The Human Vapor is Honda flexing on everyone in the directoral department then Gorath is Tsuburaya flexing for the SFX side. The south pole segment might be his best work. A real visual wonder.

Remember that Futurama episode where all the robots stand in one spot and blow their exhausts upward to push the earth? This is essentially the same thing, but towards the end, there’s a giant walrus monster that appears for almost no reason.

It’s surprisingly good.

Like, I’m glad I watched it outside of any relationship to the Godzilla franchise, though I’m still not sure what that relationship actually is. Maguma (big walrus) is in Godzilla: Defense Force (mobile app), but otherwise this is entirely its own thing. Maybe I should have ended this review with saying it’s good. I feel like I’m losing more potential viewers the longer I type.

I was beginning to wonder why this is on kaiju lists. But boy when that thing shows up LOL. This thing is a total smorgasbord in a good way, I think.

*and holy! There's a shot of a construction worker on a high beam in the snow that is almost exactly replicated in Pacific Rim. That's crazy if that was intentional.
