When the movie begins, space probe Helio VII is sent into space and it soon vanishes. However, inexplicably, the probe later returns to Earth and crashes in the sea near an island inhabited with primitive folks. In addition, some Japanese scientist and his friends are there and they investigate. Soon, a giant squid the size of Godzilla arrives and 'Gezora' is NOT a friendly squid. Miraculously, they are able to defeat the squid....but then some glowy stuff comes out of the dying monster and soon it creates a gigantic crab. Once again, the folks somehow manage to defeat it....but the glowy stuff remains. In fact, later the glowy stuff inhabits one of the humans and you learn that invaders from space are controlling the animals and plan to rule the Earth. What creatures are coming next? And, will they manage to stop them as well?
This is a pretty bad film, though I cannot blame all of it on the Japanese production company who made the film. Much of the problem is bad dubbing--with the Japanese folks OFTEN laughing for no apparent reason and sometimes at the most inappropriate moments. Also, some of the women's voices are ear-piercingly bad.
Overall, this is a film you either like because you think gigantic Japanese monsters are cool or you'll think it's all pretty much nonsense. I find myself in the latter group.
