Every monster movie archetype is on hand in Guillermo del Toro’s unabashedly cocky sci-fi epic. The mad genius behind Pan’s Labyrinth successfully mixes pure comic-book absurdity with plausible humanity against a backdrop of digitally augmented glory. “There’s no shortage of brains, brawn, eye candy, wit and even some poetry in this epic battle between massive lizard-like monsters and 25-story-high robots operated by humans” (NY Post). Fasten your seatbelts! D: Guillermo del Toro, US, 2013, 131m
