Connianatu How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

BA_Harrison A space parasite takes control of an unmanned probe to Jupiter, steering it back to Earth. Splash landing in the Pacific, the interstellar being proceeds to take over the local marine life, growing it to monstrous proportions, starting with an octopus (Gezora), followed by a crab (Ganimes), and finally, a turtle (Kameba). The extraterrestrial's intention is to conquer the world (what else?). Trying to stop the alien and its massive monsters are a group of people planning to build a resort on a nearby island.I'm rather partial to a giant monster movie, so you would think my enjoyment would be threefold with Space Amoeba, which features not just one, but a trio of oversized kaiju. That, however, is not the case. The story is a pedestrian mix of nonsense that we have seen before in earlier Toho movies, and the monster action is uninspired: endless flailing rubber limbs, screeching, and trashing of native villages, all of which is very repetitive and ultimately rather boring.The film is also extremely ridiculous in places: Gezora walks upright on its tentacles (because making it slither would have been too difficult); the islanders conveniently find guns, explosives and gasoline in an old cabin; two of our plucky visitors decide to go diving despite the presence of a colossal killer octopus; and the naturalist in the group somehow works out how to defeat the monsters (which he correctly hypothesises are being controlled by creatures from outer space) using bats! While this silliness might be enough for some, I found the whole thing tiresome.

lordzedd-3 In the late sixties and going into the seventies Toho loved monster movies based on islands. Well, this time it really works. The story is cool, the acting is great and the three main monsters are major league cool. Their names are hard to pronounce but I do feel that the designs are cool and they are not the standard monsters that you find in these movies, a cuddle fish, a crab and a snapping turtle. I love the effect that allows the Snapping Turltle to shoot out his neck. Okay, now the downside, the old native thinking that Gezora is some kind of God even though there is no monsters like that in their religion is just stupid. But that's just me. So to make a long story short, I give it 9 big stars!

deeroq The enjoyment that you derive out of this movie is directly proportional to what your expectations are. I'm a big fan of Honda's work, he's made some of the very best giant monster (not just limited to Japanese kaiju) movies ever made - this is not one of them. It's really pretty bad - not Jun Fukuda bad, mind you, but in the world of Ishiro Honda's works it's quite the stinker.And yet... It's somehow great. What makes it truly great can essentially be summed up in one word. Gezora. Gezora is a giant squid, or an octopus, or perhaps a cuttlefish, or... It really doesn't matter what Gezora is supposed to be, just know that (unlike the giant octopus from "King Kong vs. Godzilla") Gezora is not a slimy creature that flutters and unfurls itself along the ground like an octopus probably would if it could actually move outside of the water. No, my friends, Gezora is rubbery looking and he walks. Let's say that again so that the utter ridiculousness of it can sink in:Gezora WALKS. On tentacles. You see, they didn't have access to high-tech animatronics and kaiju films have always had an aversion to stop-motion animation, so, as was custom - it's a guy in a suit. But how does a guy in a suit impersonate the flowing movement of an octopus/squid/cuttlefish on land, you ask?He doesn't. He walks around, dragging and swinging tentacles with reckless abandon. That, if for no other reason, is why this movie must be seen to be appreciated. Gezora is, by far, my favorite bad kaiju. Yes, even better and far more ridiculous than King Seesar. This may be difficult to believe, but he's even sillier (and more lovable) than Guiron - knife-headed foe of Gamera. You, too, will love Gezora if you just give him a chance - and that chance has arrived as of today, for "Space Amoeba" has been released on DVD.Huzzah!

Horror Fan Alien plague is spread onto a pacific island by a space capsule that crashes and creates monsters out of normal creatures. Gezora, a giant squid; Gamine, a humungous crab; and Kameba, a huge turtle; all attack the island, fight each other, and sure trample alot of huts. Goofy, with silly special effects and more bad dubbing.
