I remember liking this a lot more as a kid. I suppose I’m thinking of the last leg of the big rampage sequence, but now, as an adult I can’t help but see all of the flaws. From terrible prop work (See the pic of the boat being overturned, you can see the bottom of the Behemoth prop that wasn’t supposed to be exposed) to the obvious riff on the Beast from 20,000 Fathoms.
The acting has a few bright spots, but even then you can tell these people had little to work with. The score seems to be going for eerie and comes off as annoying more than anything. The radioactive pulse or breath is actually neat, TOO BAD GODZILLA DID IT 5 YEARS EARLIER. I honestly feel as though the trailer on my Fantastic Dinosaurs tape did more to ingrain this film on my memory than the movie did itself.
The animation is actually pretty great here, although there’s not too much that doesn’t get recycled in the rampage. Which is kind of okay, because the last bit before he falls into the river is the best. I think if the design had been a bit more than a Sauropod and the plot been a bit more than Beast Redux then it could have been easier to overlook some of its more obvious flaws.Statistics: Posted by MekaGojira3k — Fri Jan 16, 2015 10:56 am
