Kaiju Fever: Gorath (1962)

This is actually a Sci-fi disaster movie with the only Kaiju in it being a giant Walrus called Maguma who is in it for all of six minutes.
The plot concerns a collapsing star called Gorath that is on a collision course with Earth, as the world leading scientists find solutions to avoiding it, including moving the earth itself by building thrusters in the South Pole (this is science fiction after all). The film also includes a message of peace and how the world should work together more in unity.
The film is pretty good overall, it has some interesting ideas and unfolds at a good pace. Some of the special effects look more dated than others, but some are still pretty cool.
it's just well made enjoyable bit of Sci-fi. ***
