Alright 60's Japanese Sci-Fi. Dubs were predictably awful, but I thought this movie had a pretty good concept and some pretty great effects were pulled out (for 1964). Unfortunantly I think they werent able to pull off a truly great monster movie. For one the subplot involving diamond theives kept on getting in the way, and to be honest made the movie difficult to follow. Not that I have any problem with movies about diamond theives, this particular film just felt like it never really decided which it wanted to be, and I found the sci-fi monster portions to be the best aspect of this film. Could have been better, but good for what it is. Recommended for genre enthusiasts.
