The future is big, sparkling warble of superclean and we should endevour to do our best to wash our feet by it.

Chris Gore isn't a big fan of kaiju eiga, so I wouldn't expect a better review than that. But, since everyone here are all fans of giant critter pictures, if Udin says "must buy", then it's a must buy, right? :wink:

Meanwhile, Wired magazine recommends it:

You must have defective discs, because it's not in the masters, that's for sure. It happens. I've have no problems on my copies, and this was not apparent in the master, nor the check discs. There have been no problems with any copies I've viewed (which have been several). Return for a replacement.
