Reviews for Kaijumax Season 1

[kavinay-677830 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Outstanding. You don't really know you needed a mix of Ultraman Kaiju Oz (the prison show), but once you do get into it, Cannon's storytelling is just captivating. Case in point, Zonn's quiet psychopathic prison stare genuinely freaks me out more than any Kaiju rampaging through a city.

[villemezbrown · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I think people who grew up watching the Godzilla movies and Japanese TV imports like Ultraman would probably get a big kick out of this. Alas, my local TV stations didn't carry much of that when I was a kid, feeding me mostly a diet of John Wayne westerns and American sci-fi like Star Trek and that movie with the Michael Ironside lookalike where women rule the world and men are mutants (every other weekend at least).

I like this as a parody of prison movies and the HBO Oz series, and I started getting caught up in all the scheming and plotting by the end despite not much caring about all the big monsters and robots.
