This is a throwback to the old style of sci fi films with giant monsters. Much needed with the past 50 years being all about "Hate".
While most movies of this time frame are written with "hate" and alienating the audience. The old sci fi movies had a sense of camaraderie instead of everyone thinking they had to be the last survivor on a life raft.
This one takes us back to that era in a good way, and to its credit, does this as a "comedy" instead of a scary film. It's clearly written as a comedy, and when you write a comedy, you can get away with the cheesy lines. In fact, you want the cheesy lines.
Lots of good things in this film, but I really can't reveal them without spoiling the film.
A joy ride, with plenty of humor, plenty of drama, plenty of likable characters, plenty of love instead of hate. I would give it a 9 instead of 8 if not for the last clip which I thought was too over the top, but I understand why they did it, to keep with the cheese.
