I watched the R2 last night and was BLOWN AWAY!!

What a masterpiece! Total Showa-Era Monster movie Worship.
Everything about it was amazing. I was smiling from start to finish.

Everyone on this board is going to love this film for sure.

Interesting stuff has been written but I'm not going out of my way for anything but Godzilla.

I just got the DVD today and I must say I enjoyed it a lot more this time than at G-Fest. At G-Fest it was the dubbed version with an annoying promotional "www.negadonattacks.com" banner above the screen for the WHOLE MOVIE, and the projection looked blurry from where I was sitting (which was far away- and the picture seemed a lot more blurry and stuff from where I was)... not to mention it was after 9:30 and I was worried I'd miss the shuttle to the Pickwick for Gamera.

So seeing this in the comfort of my own home, the animation looked a million times better, the filter they created for it was a lot easier to appreciate, and I found myself more invested in the story (since I was in such a hurry at G-Fest).

Story-wise and script wise, its still nothing to hop up and down about, but its a fantastic homage to the Showa Toho films and the 90s Gamera films, with some splashes of Ultraman, Giant Robo, etc. thrown in as well. The fact that it was made by one person and looks better than a lot of CGI that I've seen in Hollywood films is very inspiring. I hope this film gets around to SPFX people all over the place because the whole film is great eye candy. The 2 short films in the extras of the DVD are also a lot of fun as well.

Although the movie itself isn't much, its the best that it could have been and this is a very well put together DVD that I'd recommend to ANYBODY even remotley interested in kaiju movies and/or computer animation. Its also very inspiring to people interested in working in the computer animation field. Its a damn shame it couldn't have been screen at the Pickwick because that would have looked amazing.

Just checking out the frame-grabs in the gallery at the official website, I noticed an interesting "homage" in this one....

Go check it out and see if you recognise something there that's familiar. :wink:

I have to agree with everyone about the whole "www.negadonattacks.com" thing on the G-Fest copy. I ordered my Negadon DVD a few days ago from DDD (along with volume 1 of Ultraman) and I'm looking forward to watching the subtitled version without that annoying watermark.

I do not recognise anything familiar to me in that pic. What are you referring to?

by **Green Dragon** » Sat Jul 22, 2006 11:44 pm

The hyphenated letters-numbers in the upper left of the picture.

:wink:

Having gotten my copy at DragonCon early this month (and saw it after my return), I finally got to doing a review of it! You can see the review here:

Also reviewed in the same post: the CM Godzilla set and Scary Godmother: The Revenge of Jimmy.
