Colossal is a movie about people finding out they can control a giant monster and a giant robot in Seoul. It's also about making bad choices and trying to turn your life around, character growth, making amends and realizing everyone is not who they present themselves to the world.

The lead actors are great in their respective roles. It was interesting to see Jason Sudeikis play against type; Anne Hathaway was also very good and pretty much carries the film.

The movie is weird and jumps genres a lot. But that makes it great and unique. And also not for everyone. You either love it or hate it.

A few logical gapes hold it back a little - for example how is Seoul not evacuated immediately and there are still people just casually chilling in malls and cafes at the exact times they know a robot may attack.

All in all, it's pretty great though. Just give it a try and see if you like it.

Found footage sucks. It's a horrible, lazy movie genre/trope and I can't stand it. That being said, if you want to make a found footage movie, the was Europa Report did it is definitely the best. The image is clear, you understand what is happening, you can hear the dialogue OK, there is no cliché part where a character is running with the camera pointed at their feet. And best of all, it makes sense why it's found footage.

The story was believable,and the actors were all great, they did a terrific job. I have a few objections to some of their actions, but for the most part, they acted and reacted as real people would, and not the way characters do because they are in a movie.

The Europa Report is a lovely little sci fi movie, really worth your time, even if you can pretty much guess the ending.
