Fun, frenetic popcorn movie, think of Transformers or Godzilla on steroids (lots more and bigger scale cool robots and monsters) plus a better-than-expected human dimension – a few likeable characters and back story vignettes squeezed into all the action. Reminded me of the recent Japanese live action version of Space Battleship Yamato (2010) – which I’d highly recommended for any BSG fans – though not as dark or emotional. Just don’t go expecting any layered story telling and thematic depth a la Neon Genesis Evangelion … perhaps Pacific Rim will now pave the way?
