Justin T This is so good, it is even better than many Godzilla films, not all of them though. It ticks all the boxes for a great kaiju movie. There is lots of city smashing, awesome monster battles, the models look awesome and have great detail. The monsters also look really good, the costumes look the best in the series by a long way. The lighting, the story, the pacing, everything makes this easily in my top 10 kaiju movies. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/04/25 Full Review Brody F Gamera: Guardian of the Universe is a stunning revival of the classic kaiju. The special effects are impressive, especially in the thrilling battles between Gamera and the Gyaos. What sets this film apart is its heart—Gamera is not just a monster but a true guardian, making his struggle to protect humanity feel meaningful. The story balances monster action with strong character development, creating high stakes and emotional depth. This 1995 film is a standout in the kaiju genre and a must-see for fans, deserving of five stars. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/17/24 Full Review Adam S Gamera: Guardian of the Universe is an innovative reboot that, while not perfect, takes the Kaiju genre to new heights with it's fantastic special effects and impressive action-sequences. Rating: 77% Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/01/24 Full Review Audience Member Wow, I can't believe I'm saying this, but this movie is better than the Heisei Godzilla movies (Well It might not be better than Godzilla vs. destoroyah). some of the effects looks awful, but most of it looks good. can't wait to see the sequels. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member A wonderful combination of effects, story and characters to create a perfectly told monster movie! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie unexpectedly set a new bar for Gamera movies. Guardian of the Universe is the first movie in the franchise that can actually compete with the better Godzilla movies. It's the first movie that's actually a good MOVIE. Considering director Shusuke Kaneko went on to make GMK, that's no surprise. This movie has the best...well, everything of the franchise up to this point. Best of all, there's NO ANNOYING KID WHO HAS THEIR ACTIONS JUSTIFIED BY PLOT CONVENIENCE. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
