I watched it without really re-searching about it. I just thought it was the last movie on the Showa Gamera list.I watched it with my son who is 9 and we liked it: it is true this movie is built taking all the battle scenes of the first Gamera movies and mixing it with a story about aliens wanting to invade the earth.
With this premise and the very very very low budget this movie likely had (I have since educated myself on how this movie came to be) this movie could easily have been a lot worse. It's a kid movie with a funny gamera song conposed by a child (in the movie... but... it's belieavable as a song composed by a 10 year old) and the story well, it is not really high cinema we are speaking about. For a Kaiju movie it's fine (not of the best ones, of course) and you can almost forget it's a mix mash of older movies.
However if you don't want to spoil yourself all the gamera battles of the showa movies, I suggest to watch it after all the movies of the sixties and seventies.
