Viewing Notes
Justin screened this as a warmup to the mind melter. He was going to include it but said it was too long for the time slot. It’s certainly mind melting in a convoluted kind of way. I knew Justin was referring to Keita Amemiya when he mentioned the VFX being done by a director he likes.
The suits and FX are v good and I love the giant. The last third makes it worth sitting thru the slog to get there. Love seeing younger Ren Osugi (RIP).
