Gamera: The Guardian of the Universe

Japan, 1995

After giant, pterodactyl-like Gyaos threaten the Japanese mainland, Gamera emerges from the Pacific to fight its arch-nemesis along with a plucky team of Japanese military officers and scientists. Star Ayako Fujitani made her big screen debut as the daughter of a Coast Guard officer who becomes psychically bonded with the giant rocket turtle in this wildly fun reboot of the famed kaiju series on its 30th anniversary. 

DCP, color, in Japanese with English subtitles, 96 min. Director: Shusuke Kaneko. Screenwriter: Kazunori Ito. With: Tsuyoshi Ihara, Shinobu Nakayama, Ayako Fujitani.
