Beautiful cinematography, as has been mentioned. The special effects were perhaps some of the most realistic I've seen in the kaiju genre, with the exception of a few CGI moments. The film absolutely drew you in.

For the first time in years, not only was I not in the least annoyed by main character children, but actually enjoyed them. What a feat to accomplish!

Zedus looked menacing and spectacular. Gamera was fittingly youthful, but still imposing. The Gyaos looked fantastic, as did the aging and tired older Gamera.

Indeed, if anything took me slightly by surprise, yet left me extremely satisfied...was the "theme" of sorts. I found the haunting vocal chants to feel very different, yet incredibly perfect for the tone of the film.

All in all, Ultraman the Next and Gamera the Brave have raised the bar to new heights (speaking of which, when the **** are we getting some DVDs of these two?!). Let's see if Toho steps up to the plate.



Oh, and

I liked this movie a lot. A kiddie film yes but I think very watchable
for adults. It should have done better in Japan. Monster movie or
not it was entertaining and had me tearing up more than once.
I think if it was released here in the States with good backing by
a studio it would have made some money. I myself would have
edited just one scene and that would have been only some sounds.
Great F/X and a decent story. A good entry in the Gamera series
and should have had at least 2 sequels. Not perfect but good stuff.
