Watch Terror of Mechagodzilla For Free

Simply Perfect

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

15th and final Godzilla film in the first series from Toho studios sees(ho-hum!) another group of alien invaders reclaim and rebuild what's left of MechaGodzilla, in one last desperate attempt to conquer the Earth by destroying Godzilla. Meanwhile, a traitorous Earth scientist has been in league with them, and programmed a new sea monster called Titanosaurus to help them in that goal. Can the Earth be saved from alien conquest once and for all? Uninspired to say the least, though Titanosaurus is an effective creation, and the tone unusually grim, which may not have appealed to children. Best thing about it is the fitting final fade-out of a departing Godzilla.

Just as good as its predecessor, if not better. Last time we saw Godzilla teaming up to take down one monster. This time, he has to take down two, by himself. This is a great end to the original series, as it contains all the great elements. Awesome fights, which take us back to more inhabited areas. The country side had become a cheap alternative, but you can't beat city destruction. There is also a lot of heart, as we see a ridiculed scientist and his daughter struggle with their feelings. This film actually contains some human sacrifice. Making us and Godzilla equal again. Very impressed with something that could have been all a little much.

While the previous mechagodzilla movie was better, this one is a poor excuse for a remake. Special effects are duller and the budget is (apparently) much lower. As with other such monster movies, they try to thicken the plot with many subplots, including a love story, submarine searches, alien invasion etc. In the end (being a bit more than 70 minutes), none of them develops clearly and -as with monster movies in general- are felt somewhat superfluous. Alien invaders from a planet victim of a black hole have rebuilt the disposed of mechagodzilla and plan to team it up with another marine monster called Titanosaurus. This second monster was the reason why an acclaimed scientist got fired from his job to end up in poverty. He's thus resentful & plans revenge. Both subplots will come in the spurious Go Nagai ( the Japanese anime/robot artist ) series Daiku Maryu Gaiking, where inhabitants of planet Zela want to invade Earth to avert their doom caused by a black hole. One episode features a once prominent scientist laughed offstage for his offbeat theories joining the spacemen resentful for the death in poverty of his wife&child. Godzilla does NOT appear from the first 50 (yes 50) minutes of the movie, besides stock footage from the opening titles. The scientist's daughter has been turned into a cyborg following an accident in her father's laboratory, and she's thus a puppet run by the aliens despite her kind feelings. Her path crosses with a clumsy interpol agent's later convinced of the truth in the old scientist's theories. Once all those subplots seem to clearly go nowhere, in fifteen minutes you get the alien base blown up, the cyborg girl, her father & some aliens die; other aliens die while trying to escape while men in rubber suit wrestle one another. Even the bond sets of the alien base look very cheap & stitched together from garage sales. The English dubbing is especially bad; Besides the voices, it's not very clear.. The only good thing is godzilla is still a positive character here.

Mekagojira no Gyakushu, or Mechagodzilla vs. Godzilla, Revenge of Mechgodzilla, Terror of Mechagodzilla, The Escape of Mechagodzilla & the version I saw called Monsters From an Unknown Planet are apparently a few of it's alternate titles, starts with footage from the previous Godzilla film, Godzilla vs. Cosmic Monster (1974) showing how Godzilla defeated Mechagodzilla. A team of scientists from the 'Ocean Exploitation Institute' are searching for Mechagodzilla's remains when they encounter a new monster, an aquatic dinosaur named Titanosaurus who promptly destroys their submarine. Interpol Chief Tagawa (Tadao Nakamaru) is on the case & teams agent Jiro Murakoshi (Katsumasa Uchida) up with marine biologist Akira Ichinose (Katsuhiko Sasaki) to figure out what happened to the sub. Just before the sub was destroyed the last radio transmission talked of dinosaurs so our agents make a connection between this & a Dr. Shinji Mafune (Akihiko Hirata) who had previously made mention of a dinosaur named Titanosaurus living in the area the sub was destroyed in, but no one believed him at the time. As our two intrepid agents unravel the mystery it seems that an alien race from the 'Thrid Planet' are trying to wipe out mankind so their race can live here, by themselves. They have persuaded Dr. Mafune & his cyborg daughter Katsura (Tomoko Ai) to help them as they control Titanosaurus, the aliens have also recovered Mechagodzilla's remains & repaired him. The alien's think that Mechagodzilla & Titanosaurus together will be enough to destroy humanity, these guys obviously haven't counted on Godzilla who once again must save planet Earth...Directed by Ishiro Honda this is another fun Godzilla film from Japanese studio Toho & Mekagojira no Gyakushu was the 15th film to feature Godzilla, the last of the 'classic' Godzilla's before the next entry in the series 9 years later & was made between Godzilla vs. Cosmic Monster & Godzilla 1985 (1984). The script by Yukiko Takayama is a little on the slow side at times, after the repeated flashback footage during the opening sequence Godzilla doesn't appear again until past the 45 miniature mark which is just too long without any monster fighting fun. We only get a choice of three monsters here, the main man himself Godzilla, the fishy Titanosaurus whom I actually quite liked & felt sort of sorry for as he is naturally peaceful but those nasty aliens are controlling him & the very cool Mechagodzilla who has to be one of Godzilla's best adversary's complete with metal body, rocket launchers, laser beams & an infinite supply of ammo! Unfortunately none of these monsters are used as much as I would have liked & the aliens taking over the Earth plot just isn't that great. For some reason the aliens wear silver suits & ridiculous looking helmets. Mekagojira no Gyakushu is a little more serious in tone than some of the childish Godzilla films that had preceded it, the character's are a bit more emotionally developed & it even contains nudity, some bare breasts no less. Technically Mekagojira no Gyakushu is as good as one can expect from this type of film, the special effects once again consist of men in rubber monster suits, model cars, planes & buildings. They obviously can't compare to today's mega budget CGI but they have that indefinable charm & personality, I think the effects look perfectly OK even if they aren't going to win any awards & as always I like to think that the filmmakers did the best they could using their imagination & resources available. The familiar sounding music, the cinematography & general production design are all acceptable considering Mekagojira no Gyakushu probably had a small budget. The acting is alright from what I can make out but the dubbing as usual is pretty bad with some terrible accents for secondary character's & some very silly dialogue exchanges, but it all adds to the fun in my opinion. I liked Mekagojira no Gyakushu but then I am a Godzilla fan anyway, it is a little slow at get going but once it does it's good fun & the climatic battle between Godzilla, Mechagodzilla & Titanosaurus is cool. Definitely worth watching monster fans!
