Official Gamera 2006 Thread (may contain spoilers)

Spinning flame-jetted turtles, space birds being chopped up like bologna, kids in shorts screaming for help...the original Gamera series was a strange mix of wacky fun!! The 90's Gamera films set a standard that other kaiju films are measured against! Discuss Gamera films here!!

Saw it at G-Fest and thought it was fantastic! Its a kid's movie, yeah, but not so much so that adults can't enjoy it (cough*MOTHRA 2*cough). Zedus was awesome, Toto was cute, the miniatures were great, and the kid actors did a great job. My only complaints are the change in Gamera's roar, and I would have liked to see him look a little more grown up at the end, but I realize he was only like a week old by the end of the movie, so I understand he's still a baby. I also didn't quite like how he was changed from a turtle to a tortoise (they say he's a turtle in the movie, but he's never anywhere near water, so its obvious) Also, big props for the cool Guiron reference when baby Toto is in the kitchen. Unlike a lot of people, I actually liked the relay race scene. It had a touching feel to it.

Of course, its not as good as Kaneko's trilogy, but it was still great fun. I liked it better than most of the Showa series. Can't wait to own this one.

And the transfer at the Pickwick was perfect and crystal clear.

I do believe this saw a release very very recently. As in today.

Anyone over in the land of the rising sun pick this up? Just curious as to whether the DVD is any good or not.
