AWESOME movie, a must see in league with the original ‘King Kong’ and ‘Godzilla.’ It actually set the ground work for Godzilla, and the story is similar. A dinosaur hibernating in the arctic is awakened and thawed out by an atomic bomb. A scientist sees him and, despite people’s insistence that he was seeing things, returns to the mainland in search of an explanation for what he saw. He teams up with a couple of paleontologists and together they discover that the monster is on a direct route to New York City. The monster finally arrives, and beats the hell out of the big apple.
This movie has some of the best special effects I’ve ever seen, which is appropriate because I think it’s one of Ray Harryhausen’s first feature films. The monster is amazing, and destroys the city in some awesome scenes of cars being thrown and brick walls crumbling. The plot’s pretty basic by today’s standards, but this was one of the first movies of its kind and stands up pretty well with a good script and acting. But the effects are what you’re going to want to see these movies for, and they blow modern CGI right out of the water.
SEE IT. You won’t be sorry.
