- BrightEmberMarch 28, 2026I love the stop motion monsters in this even better than the first in this disconnected film series. The crabs are certainly a highlight- not enough creatures of that size that they portray as proper threats in films. In general, this movie was a fair amount harder to follow, and they had much more of a sense of language- which can't be understood, of course. It's designed to be understood without it, certainly, but is somewhat more difficult than the prior installments, in any case. Still, plenty enough to enjoy it, however. The final act is quite the surprise, as well.
