Colossal

Gloria (Anne Hathaway) gets booted out of boyfriend's (Dan Stevens) apartment in NYC. She has a drinking problem that creates a monster that devours her soul. She returns to her small home town Mainhead (see Urban dictionary). She gets a job at a bar owned by her elementary school friend (Jason Sudeikis) and is able to continue her favourite past time. When Seoul is attacked by a monster, Gloria is able to strangely connect it to her... never explained, but surely has to do with pair particles, worm holes, and the butterfly effect.The film is build upon metaphors. Clearly Seoul was chosen to be a homonym. The story was fine, but it is not real horror or decent science fiction, it is more akin to fantasy-drama. In order to bring the story the whole tale home, the metaphor needed to be completely developed and not a half way effort. ( Note Wizard of Oz and Gilligan's Island are sloppy metaphors that worked, only because we forgot the metaphor.)Guide: F-word. Implied sex. No nudity (Good for you Anne.)
