Gamera the Brave + introduction by Yuriko Hamaguchi (PG)

All Kaiju Attack: Earth SOS!

,Cinema 1
A film still showing Gamera, the turtle-like monster

The gigantic turtle is reincarnated once again in this family-friendly reboot, as the young kaiju forms a bond with a boy and grows up to battle a fearsome threat to humanity.

Years after Gamera sacrificed himself for humanity, the benevolent kaiju lives again through a newly hatched turtle. As an adult, his calling as earth’s protector manifests once more as a new, aggressive kaiju, Zedus, begins a destructive rampage.

Gamera the Brave introduced the franchise to a new generation, following the acclaimed Heisei Trilogy. Emphasising respect for the natural world and subtly bringing in environmental themes, it’s an engrossing and often delightful addition to the series. To date, it remains the last Gamera film. This is a very rare chance to see it on the big screen.
