polygon have done very well to set up a flop like this, with their last 3 ventures into 3D animation all having been quite exceptional, with this I had high hopes but a good theatrical kick in my supportive nads has been dealt..
story (hurts self in confusion/10)
i honestly don't know where to begin with this,
building off the confusion in blame polygon have once again dropped you in the middle of a situation with no data and expect you to get whats going on, the pacing is iffy and there are actually moments when the exposition will talk about something irrelevant to the plot during the time it should be filling in blanks...
Art (failed to render/10)
the art's ok... not polygons best... but they have done worse... one thing that caught my eye was the copy pasted space suits and the pre-crumpled sleeves, interestingly, breaking habit polygon forgot what metal looks like...
Sound... (kill me/10
the sound design is probably the worst part of this whole experience, the abysmal score, sounding like a compilation of last centuries greatest melodrama's being thrown into a blender with some electronic mess leads to an assault on the ears, that is of course when it is not utterly forgettable... this accompanied by poor foleying leads in the sound design, leads to you asking yourself whether acid was abused in the recording. overall the sound is either forgettable or painful to hear. if you want good sound design from polygon, well go back to Yuggo Kanno...
Character design (who? /10)
i don't even know where to start with this..
i'm pretty sure the protagonists name began with a H
there was possibly a love interest, though so little development occurred that overall it's just freaking chaos, there's aliens with more connection to the lead so it could be a bisexual love triangle, there's a lot of blanks you can fill in with this one, everyone is forgettable and no one has enough to make me remember their name...
Enjoyment (tumbleweed sound/10)
it's pretty boring but i know i've wasted my life in plenty worse ways than this. it really grated on my ears though,
Overall - (meh?/10)
possibly the worst kaiju movie i have seen, give me a man smashing a cardboard box city in a lizard suit any time instead of this, hopefully this is just a one time flop from polygon, the work they have done previously has been great. that said if you want to waste your time with shiny stuff then may i suggest michael bays transformers, the shiny stuff is shinier with better explosions and i can remember a few characters names even...
