We saw this movie when we were searching for our movie night selection. It looked pretty bad, so we decided to wait and put it on when the kids could enjoy it as well.
Radiation has caused issues in a fishing village. The scientists have captured a screeching baby octopus and put it in a minnow bucket. Octaman gets upset and retrieves his baby.
I'm not even going to try and describe the plot, because there wasn't one. The monster waved his arms around and slapped a few people. He didn't even kill the annoying people. There were numerous frustrating parts, though. For instance, why did some of them go out in the boat just to stop and turn around for no reason? And why didn't Octaman attack them while they were in the cave? They spent so much time "trapped" only to pop out where they started. Finally, why was Davido wandering off all the time?! He was all gung ho about killing Octaman, but then he stood there at the end waving his knife around while everyone else was shooting it.
This movie was sooooo boring. We got to the point where there were ten minutes left, and we were wondering if something would finally happen. Watching Octaman pop out of the trailer was unexpected (and predictable at the same time), and that was my favorite part.
I'm going to take a moment to clarify something. One of the things that really irritated me during the movie was when they kept calling the babies "squid." I remembered squid have six arms, but guess what? They don't. They actually have eight arms and two tentacles. So where did I get six arms? I don't know, but an internet search brought me to a place where a lot of other people thought the same thing. Who knows where the six-armed squid came from, but the record's been set straight.
Avoid this one. You've been warned.
