Colossal is a unique and inventive film that blends sci-fi, drama, and dark comedy in a way that feels fresh but also somewhat uneven. The plot starts strong with an engaging setup, introducing its characters and premise smoothly. As the second act unfolds, the movie leans into a tone that sometimes feels more like a chaotic cartoon than a grounded narrative, making it a bit difficult to take seriously at times. The final act brings things back on track with a solid ending, though it feels like something is missing, a deeper exploration of its themes or a more refined execution could have elevated it further. The directing by Nacho Vigalondo is ambitious, and you can tell he had a clear vision for mixing genres and subverting expectations. Cinematography is decent, with some well-framed shots, though nothing particularly stunning. The real strength of the film lies in its acting, especially Anne Hathaway, who carries the movie effortlessly and brings depth to her character. The supporting cast does a good job, but some character arcs feel underdeveloped, especially in the second act when things start to get a little wacky. Script-wise, Colossal has an interesting concept, but the execution is where opinions will split. Some dialogue is sharp and engaging, while other moments feel underwritten or a bit too on-the-nose. The score and sound design are serviceable but not particularly memorable. It does its job without distracting, but it doesn’t stand out either. Overall, the movie is worth watching for its originality and Hathaway’s performance, but it leaves you wishing it had gone just a little further with its ideas.

**A tale of two cities!** Did not expect it. It was a unique film. I love such films, because I'm bored of the same old action, romance, horror, thrillers. But it had loads of flaws. It was hard to get rid of them. Even I thought without those flaws, there's no tale to tell. In the end, entertainment matter and this film provided that without logics. So put aside your adult brain and enjoy it like a kid. I had not seen the teaser, trailer and never heard the storyline before trying it. I just went and sat, the initial parts were not that impressive. Because returning the hometown is a common cliché. Though once the story had taken a twist, the rest of the narration changed completely. Well, the story is about the two cities and each city split into a black comedy and a disastrous theme. An unemployed and alcoholic young woman returns hometown after break up with her boyfriend. Befriends an old friend, and starts anew life. Until she discovers that on the other side of the world, a giant monster wrecking up a city. Once again, she discovers that she had something to do with that. Following it, how her response reshapes the entire episode was told with a twist at the end. Anne Hathaway was simply good. But not to forget Jason Sudeikis' part too. Both of them controlled the narration. This is a film to have fun. Not to go after errs. A film with the giant monsters, but less graphics used. Very clever writing by the Spanish filmmaker known for some good titles. I think the film is a little underrated. Recommended for those who seek nothing but an entertainment. **8/10**

Makes enough pseudo-sense that those who are turned off by absurdism will be able to handle it, but still bizarre enough to get those who are fans of it on board. There might be some odd choices made in characterisation, and it's a far from perfect film, but _Colossal_ works for me in a big way, and I want to see more original material make it like _Colossal_ did. _Final rating:★★★½ - I really liked it. Would strongly recommend you give it your time._
