to confront the impact of her choices.

Dad's Preview:
This is hands-down one of the most creative monster films ever
made. It's a giant-sized,
mind-trip comedy, that also blooms into an allegorical tale about
facing responsibility. Weird-Yes. Impossible-Yes. Interesting-Yes.
Fun-Yes. Was it all a dream? -50/50 chance. (Nerd Alert: The
creature design is awesome, and I would love to see it square off
against Godzilla or King Kong... just once) |
