Hello All,
So today is a day I’ve been waiting for since I began this series, the last Gamera movie. Much like how there was a big gap between this review and the last gamera review, the same can be said for the dates of the last two movies. See, the company that made the first seven films (Daiei) went bankrupt after the seventh film. When the company was bought out, the new management wanted to make another one to fulfill a contractual obligation. Deciding to mostly make it out of stock footage, they not only used clips of the previous films, they also threw in clips from Space Battleship Yamato, and Galaxy Express 999, as well as a few new scenes of Gamera flying. The resulting film looked so bad during production, the two people who usually wrote and directed the Gamera movies decided then and there to kill Gamera off to end the series once and for all.
So how bad is this film truly? Let’s find out together shall we?
Plot Summary - When the evil alien Zanon arrives to enslave the earth, Gamera must team up with a trio of space women in order to save the world.
Pros - At least the clips from the previous movies consist of some of the better fights.
Cons - Yeah this film is dull as shit. It does have a plot and structure, but all the characters are dull and underdeveloped. There’s nothing new here for Gamera fans, and the clips from the other shows tend to more confuse the narrative than aid it.
Final Score - 0/10
The worst of the series by far, stop at seven and you have admittedly a mixed series with some strong standouts.
Next: The Disaster Artist - Aiming for Sunday now on this one.
So since I have no new series to complete, I want to do something a little different for the next series of reviews. So sometime after Disaster Artist, the next suggestion box review will go up (Kelly’s Heroes 1970) and then the new series will be good to go.
