Viewing Notes
Was shared on a subreddit and I watched it in-between movies at the Promenade. It was only 3 minutes and I saw on TMDb it was listed at 25 minutes. When I got home I looked for it so I could watch the full version only to learn that it is not 25 minutes. It is 3 minutes (as noted in the overview in TMDb). Not sure why they listed it as 25 minutes but I will update it.
This is pretty neat but also feels a little like a fan film. The suit for Briareos is on point. Would’ve been cool if they produced a feature length live action film but cast all Japanese actors.
