Exactly Tak. Back in the day were rabbit ears had aluminum foil wrapped on them or there might have been a antenna strapped to your roof. Black and white 13 inch TV is what I had. And to think today it is HD on a 60 inch.

It had a pretty good plot, and a real twist at the end - at least as I remember. It has been more than fifty years.

Needs more Gendo but other than that it looks good. I'm presuming in the sequel that the Robots own intelligence system will rebel and force the pilots to go through a hazardous assault course to escape?

Too long ago for my memory

I saw The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad in the theater when I was a kid.

It had a monster Cyclops, a giant lizard-like dragon hybred, giant flying birds, sword fighting skeletons, a shrunken princess, etc, etc

Claymation by Ray Harryhausen at its best. It hooked me on monster movies for life. Even bad ones are ok.

Kaiju monsters and giant mecha in the same movie ,What's not to like

Of course having the voice of GlaDDos for the mecha AI is a nicely bizarre Del Toro touch

Took this shot when I was in Tpkyo earlier this year.

Gotta love a good Monster Robot clash.

And Rinko Kikuchi is insanely hot!

Hot damn, so you can do a giant robot/monster movie outside of anime and make it look good.

At the enhanced risk of potential disembowelment, I do agree.
