Viewing Notes

My four film of day two (7th overall) at B-Movie Celebration. Wasn’t planning on seeing this one but the timing worked out. Was glad to catch this throwback to 50s giant monster sci-fi flicks. Mostly fun when it isn’t trying so hard to be exactly like those movies. It’s as though the movie is aspiring for that certain quality those films possess only because of when they were made and the context of that time. This movie doesn’t quite succeed on that front but still entertaining.
