Movie Reviews of Space Amoeba
Movie Review: THREE COOL MONSTERS. ONE WEAK MOVIE
Summary: 3 Stars
Okay now, just what kind of movie is Space Amoeba? The opening is very similar to the opening of Ghidrah The Three Headed Monster. Gezora the walking squid, Ganime the furry crab, and Kameaba the elongated turtle are engaged in a three-way battle during the opening credits. Unfortunately this battle never occurrs in the movie itself. The best way to let you know what this movie is like is to do this; Remove King Kong, Godzilla, and any cool city destruction scenes from King Kong vs Godzilla, but keep Fero Island, the natives, and the giant octopus. Then remove Godzilla, the secret military base, and air-strike attack from Godzilla vs Ebirah (the Sea Monster). Finally, remove all the major monsters, city destruction, and space aliens that you can see from Destroy All Monsters, and keep only one lesser known monster. Put it altogether and you pretty much have Space Ameoba. I love a lot of Akira Ifukube's music especially the big over the top energetic stuff, or the signature motifs he puts to certain monsters. He gets lots of kudos for scoring this movie, but I thought it was very weak and lacking in the intensity Mr Ifukube has put into other films. Now for the dvd itself. Audio has English mono and 5.1, Japanese mono and 5.1, and an audio commentary spoken in Japanese. Subtitles are Eng 1, Eng 2, and Eng 3. Eng 1 shows nothing for me. Eng 2 displays what I suspect to be what the Japanese actors were really saying because it's often very different from the english dub. Eng 3 subtitles are for you to read the commentary. Well there you have it, Space Amoeba. AKA Yog, Monster From Space, AKA Gezora, Ganime, and Kameaba: Decisive Battle.
