GAMERA, GUARDIAN OF THE UNIVERSE is top notch-high quality kaiju filmmaking at its best. To compare it to the 1960's GAMERA series is like trying to compare JAWS to JAWS 3-D, or LORD OF THE RINGS: THE TWO TOWERS to GIGLI (well, maybe that's a bit of a stretch!)

At any rate, this film is too good for the MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000 treatment. The storyline, acting (YES, ACTING!) and special effects are done in a way that would put Hollywood to shame (see, or rather don't see ARMAGEDDON). It certainly sets the standard for any future kaiju slugfests, such as the post-millennium Godzilla series.

This being the first installment of a trilogy, GAMERA is a worthy addition to any kaiju fan's video/DVD collection. That, along with GAMERA vs. LEGION and the far superior GAMERA 3.

Too bad it's only a trilogy.

GAMERA 4, anyone? One can only hope.

Rating: **** out of *****

score 9/10
