Guillermo Del Toro wrote his childhood fantasies about giant robots and Godzilla-like invaders from another dimension.

It’s got kung fu, earthshaking battles, all sorts of funky sci-fi science and quite amazingly a coherent story.

Good, escapist fun. Don't take it seriously, just enjoy the mayhem.

Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, and Ron Perlman who deals in Kaiju brains. A bunch of other good actors too. . .

And did I say earthshaking battles?

And did I say they have wings?

If you accept the movie’s premise and just not question it then it’s all fun. I mean harvesting kaiju parts is yucky, yucky, yucky but the damn thing is PREGGERS. Where to they get these plot twists?

It’s got a really good climax and satisfying ending.

And a tiny scene in the credits.
