The reclusive scientist (Kim Ki-Ju) has a crazy theory about an impending dinosaur resurrection. The daring reporter (Nam Hye-gyeong) — who's infiltrated his home as a housekeeper — sees his story as the scoop of her lifetime. The little girl (Kim Da-hye), his motherless daughter, wants to win a Blue Dragon Film Award by pouting and flirting and wailing. But no one's story — or ambition — is going to be as entertaining as the Godzilla-like creatures unleashed from the frozen waters by climate change. It's only then, when the kooky-looking creatures arrive, that Kim Jeong-yong's kaiju quasi-classic kicks into high gear. I mean, who cares about humans once this parade of monsters hits the screen?
War of the God Monsters is blessed with a giant lizard painfully covered in polyps, a many-legged dragon who has yet to sprout wings, an oversized bat pup in prehistoric Hammer pants, a triceratops who walks on hind legs, and an oversized rooster that may have wandered onto the wrong miniature set. Some monsters spit fire; others project electric bolts; a few can fly; at least one lays two eggs. At first the little girl is delighted by these oversized theatrics. Then quickly, she realizes that their show is rooted in demolation and decimation. I'm assuming she wasn't screaming for the airplane pilots to stop shooting the large lizards! I could be wrong. She could be a junior member of PETA.
