2016120 min7.2 / 10

A darkly satirical, intellectually rigorous kaiju film that weaponizes bureaucratic incompetence and nuclear dread as metaphors for systemic failure and existential threat.

When a massive, gilled monster emerges from the deep and tears through the city, the government scrambles to save its citizens. A rag-tag team of volunteers cuts through a web of red tape to uncover the monster's weakness and its mysterious ties to a foreign superpower. But time is not on their side - the greatest catastrophe to ever befall the world is about to evolve right before their very eyes.
