The Kaiju Film: A Critical Study of Cinema’s Biggest Monsters

The Kaiju Film: A Critical Study of Cinema’s Biggest Monsters
Publisher:  McFarland
February 17, 2016
Pages: 212
Author: Jason Barr
​Language: English​​

The Kaiju (strange monster or strange beast) film genre has a number of themes that go well beyond the “big monsters stomping on cities” motif. Since the seminal King Kong 1933) and the archetypal Godzilla (1954), kaiju has mined the subject matter of science run amok, militarism, capitalism, colonialism, consumerism and pollution. This critical examination of kaiju considers the entirety of the genre—the major franchises, along with less well known films like Kronos (1957), Monsters (2010) and Pacific Rim (2013). The author examines how kaiju has crossed cultures from its original folkloric inspirations in both the U.S. and Japan and how the genre continues to reflect national values to audiences.

Pacific Rim - The Official Movie Novelization
​Publisher: Titan Books
June 16, 2013
​Pages: 352
Author: Alex Irvine
​Language: English​​

Synopsis
The official novelization of the upcoming sci-fi blockbuster Pacific Rim from visionary director Guillermo del Toro!
​
When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge.

​But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. 
Picture
​On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes-a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)-who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.
