Gloria is an out-of-work party girl who leaves New York and moves back to her hometown after getting kicked out of her apartment by her boyfriend. When news reports surface that a giant creature is destroying Seoul, South Korea, Gloria gradually comes to the realization that she is somehow connected to this far-off phenomenon. As events begin to spiral out of control, she must figure out why her seemingly insignificant existence is having such a colossal effect on the fate of the world.

Critics Consensus

Colossal's singular strangeness can be disorienting, but viewers who hang on may find that its genre-defying execution -- and Anne Hathaway's performance -- is well worth the ride.

Colossal feeld like something of a liberatory tale.

7/10

Vigalondo's strong vision, along with sensitive work by Hathaway and Sudeikis, ensures that Colossal never feels like anything other than completely itself.

4/5

Wholly original and downright weird on many fronts, “Colossal” is the most eccentric monster movie you may ever see.

4.5/5

Nacho Vigalondo’s latest is a film that’s equal parts indie rom-com, psychological horror, and monster-movie seems never to miss a single step.

Introduced as the classic nice guy, Oscar’s arc is not only an ideal foil for Gloria’s journey, but forms the reactive core of the film’s biting take on gender and ego.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked out this movie. I saw it had great ratings, but the story looked weird from the trailer. After watching it, I wasn't disappointed. The story played out very well and the actors all did a great job. It was strange to see Jason Sudeikis as the antagonist, but I was happy with the ending. I would be glad to watch this movie again.

One of those films worth a watch, not fantastic, but not something you'll regret watching if you like sci-fi type of stuff.

I was all in at the start, but then it twisted in a bad direction and I was out. Very interesting story but not at all what the trailers and posters were selling.

This movie is much too long. There is no action for some 20mins as we get boring character development. Then the girl goes home, meets her old boyfriend, and then the monster shows up in Seoul. Why SK, not London or Melbourne, no explanation iis given. How and why does Gloria control the monster, why at 8:05pm, why rip off Godzilla, no one knows. Anyway, this film is just too incomprehensible and is a waste of time and money,

Colossal...... ExtraÃ±a manera de mostrar el resentimiento

This film is pointless. The first 1/3 of the film is barely entertaining and stock-standard run-of-the-mill relationship stuff: 2 stars. The second 1/3 introduces some new concepts and is good: 3 stars. The final 1/3 is quite rediculous and the direction of the plot, along with the below average dialogue, represent possibly the silliest choices that anyone could make: 0 stars. Overall: a very poor film that could have been 3 to 3.5 stars (which is not that great, anyway), if only the plot in the final 1/3 was completely rewritten.
