Overview

The spaceship AAB-Gamma is dispatched from FAFC headquarters in Japan to make a landing on the planet Mars and investigate reports of UFOs in the area. As they near the red planet, they encounter a mysterious UFO that coats the ship’s hull with unusual spores. Taking one of the specimens back to earth, it soon develops and grows into a giant chicken-lizard-alien monster that tramples Japan.

Viewing Notes

A pretty fun, wacky mix of a perils in space movie and rubber suited monster mayhem. Despite being a Godzilla fan, I actually enjoyed the stuff aboard the space ship more, including the odd, mixed up gender politics going on.
