If you liked Shin Gojira, be sure to check this one out too. Very similar but at the same time, very fresh. It's like Gojira meets X-Files meets Star Trek meets Evangelion. Absolute kino.

    Do you like monster movies? Because Shinji Higuchi was the SFX director for the Heisei Gamera trilogy, so you might want to check them out if you haven't.

      Yes, I've got the trilogy on blu-ray. Great stuff. I was hoping the trio (Higuchi, Anno, Sagisu) would take make a 'Shin Gamera' next but it seems like Kadokawa is moving forward with some garbage anime Gamera movie so whatever. I recall Higuchi said in an interview that he considers the Gamera trilogy as his 'Shin Gamera' but obviously it's very different to Shin Gojira/Ultraman stylistically.

        Honestly, with the type of 'back to basics' approach of the Shin movies, and how corny the original Gamera movies were, I'd be wary a Shin Gamera. Plus, if they went with the friend to all children approach, I feel like it would just be a retread of both Shin Gojira and Ultraman.

        But maybe I'm just nitpicking, and I'd be down for a new live action Gamera movie with modern filmmaking techniques.
