Seriously, just a real bizarre entry. That puts me to sleep almost every time I watch it, both in the Americanization, and original Japanese version.
I kind of prefer the Americanization for the sheer amount of stock footage squeezed into the beginning, and the constant, annoying narration given by the main character as well. That at least moderatly amused me.
Otherwise, Not sure how to exactly put it but.. the film feels disjointed to me. The human drama is affected by the monster action to be sure.. But there feels like there's a major divide between those two components. Especially in the middle portion of the film that features the criminals escape.
