Review Time: this film is mixed.

Fundamental elements: there are words and numbers on screen, voice-over elements, cultural elements, background music, environment elements no subtitles when another language is being used, time jumps and place jumps

The movement of this title feels long, I know this film is roughly speaking 123 minutes long, but it doesn't have to feel long as well on top of that.

Origin storyline/Storyline: the viewers get this origin storyline elements in a scene and the storyline is okay I mean it serves its purpose, but there is this question-mark ending of what happened next? [Without giving too much away as this character returns to the waters and then the ending credits begin.]

Action sequences/Artistic visions: well basically at first there are weapons being used and different vehicles of attack/defence being used in this project. The parachute jump sequence with looking now and again from the perspective of our lead role is good.

Now this is where we come to the major assets of this title, visually these monsters used throughout this film look great and highly detailed with camera work I can really appreciate for making these monsters feel important as individually or together they have a colossal presence on screen, I just wonder if they had these monsters doing combat for say an hour, with the humans basically saying "We will clean up the mess after they have done and we will deal with the winner after this situation has resolved itself."You see this would have been much more engaging, entertaining and playing to this film title's strengths.

Character developments/Performances: the character development and the performances of our consistent characters/performers are very paint by numbers, but to be fair and balanced if these character developments were what they were going for in this title then the performers did their job.

But there is one character/performer that let's just say "This character/performer just shows that a performance may be a one-off, but class is permanent," as he makes his presence known with lots of passion and conviction in what he believes in.

This film receives: 5/10, with taking everything into consideration and not forgetting I can only pick one mark out of 10, this one seemed a fair or the nearest outcome.
