Who says they are using our calendar still? Maybe they use the Islamic Calendar. That'd give them quite a few extra centuries.

Maybe they're using the Jewish calendar, and it's historical fiction.

Alternatively, they're simply idiots. "We don't know where the colossal monster we just shot at is, lets stop moving!" is far the dumbest thing mooks have done, even in good movies.

You don't even need to go that far. Just say they're on Jupiter or Saturn.

So... you give "involuntary labor" (which I read as "prisoners") a ship with weapons capable of taking down a sky whale that takes an explosion to the face with not a care.

Right...

Slave collars. Disobey orders and your head explodes. Plus the weapons seem to be mounted to craft that could only attack the ship the prisoners would need to eventually go home, provided that's a possibility. Granted, that's all speculation, but the point is that there are ways to explain away that incongruity.

I dunno why, but watching the trailer made me sad, it looked more like they were all trying to kill Falcor :(

Watching this trailer just made me wonder why this hasn't been done before, but at the same time I feel like it might be hard to stretch the concept out into a full fledged movie absent the presence of an exceptional script.

How true. Exalted.

At least the victim piloting an attack helicopter in 1998 Godzilla kept moving after he lost track of a 600 ft monster in Manhattan.

You shall not speak of that abomination of a film, and that "Well they tried polite disappointing clap of a miniseries."

Now I have to try and sear the memory of that film from my mind.

Father, FATHER! the sleeper has awakened!

I liked the movie but i agree it has not much to do with the movie, watched Jodorowsky's Dune, and i am not sure if his version would have been any better.

But it looks interesting the big phallus monster attacking from out of the cloud would have made Freud Proud

Funny how often in film that a thing bites human tech, usually resulting in a massive explosion inside it's mouth, but then proceeds to not give a feth.

Why is this funny? Haven't you ever eaten a Hot Wheels car full of match heads? Seems comparable to me.


That monster should be just fine after only 10 or 12 reconstructive surgeries. Hope he likes seedless smoothies.
