Reviews:

    Overall this was a pretty decent movie, but nothing overly spectacular. It is a pretty good parody of the Kaiju movie genre in a fairly comedic way. The side plot about the trucker-looking professor being a creep who is in love with his robot daughter's school teacher has a few good pay-offs, but mainly broke up the pacing of the main plot. Comedy is a bit generic and the plot is basic, but it is a kids' movie and and it ultimately serves its purpose as a parody. The movie was a bit hectic due to having kids as its target demographic, but the plotis simple enough that the fast-paced hecticness of it doesn't impact its flow too much. Definitely would be an enjoyable movie for kids, although is very much enjoyable by adults as well, but potentially a bit more so while not sober. I enjoyed this movie after I enjoyed a glass of abstinthe. Great movie to watch while drunk. 7/10
