       Gloria (Hathaway) is a drunk and her fed-up boyfriend Tim (Steven) throws her out of their artsy luxury NY flat. She goes back to her home town and hooks up with her grade school friend Oscar (Suseikis).

       Seoul is attacked by a Godzilla like monster and a humungous robot.

       Gloria and Oscar are connected to the monster and the robot.

       Weird, but more interesting than it sounds. It gets even more interesting when it becomes nasty.

       A most unusual monster story. Better than I expected. I think I even have to give it
