Gloria (Anne Hathaway) is an out-of-work girl who, after getting kicked out of her apartment by her boyfriend, is forced to leave her life in New York and move back to her hometown. When news reports surface that a giant creature is destroying Seoul, South Korea, Gloria gradually comes to the realization that she is somehow connected to this far-off phenomenon. As events begin to spin out of control, Gloria must determine why her seemingly insignificant existence has such a colossal effect on the fate of the world.

First of all, if you're expecting a monster movie like Godzilla or Pacific Rim, you are going to be really disappointed (which is why some people are). This movie has amazing characters. They don't seem like heroes with super powers, but actual human beings dealing with real life issues and even pathetic enough for the audience to sympathize them. This movie is also amazing with its plot, far different from any other monster movies I've ever seen. Unlike a lot of monster movies these days, the story happens on the other side of the globe, in a quiet town. I'm not going to go deep into the story but I have to say, the story makes the audience feel trapped, and completely powerless regarding the development of the story. Similar to 10 Cloverfield Lane, the main character faces great threat but is powerless to stop it, which makes the audience completely unaware of how the story is going to go, and that is what is amazing about this movie.
Part giant monster movie, part cliché indie about a defeated successful city-dweller returning to her small town, "Colossal" aims to be something quirky and innovative that will eventually settle down to say something real. Nacho Vigalondo ("Timecrimes") knowingly creates a completely implausible story hoping that his thematic intentions and the charms of stars Anne Hathaway and Jason Sudeikis will hold it all together. As admirable as his effort may be, the scattered, illogical story makes "Colossal" too difficult to follow and connect with to have a vested interest in the outcome.
Nothing is wrong with a far-flung premise, even the notion of Hathaway's mentally unraveling character Gloria realizing that if she steps onto a specific playground in her old hometown at 8:05 a.m., she's causing a giant monster to materialize in Seoul, South Korea, and her movements control its actions. The way Vigalondo plays out that premise, however, has some downright confounding elements.
Gloria's return home comes after her boyfriend (Dan Stevens) has kicked her out for disappearing acts that involve binge-drinking, and she reunites with an old friend, Oscar (Sudeikis) who runs a bar and helps get Gloria situated in her parents' vacant house. Once Gloria discovers her connection to the Seoul monster, she lets Oscar and his buddies in on the secret, which somehow leads to a slowly and sinisterly escalating conflict between them.
In theory -- and in fairness to a good extent in practice too – there's a clever metaphor at work here about our "colossal" ****-ups and how these choices can have devastating impacts on those around us that we often fail to notice. In many respects, "Colossal" is a movie about how we choose to respond once we recognize the consequences of our destructive actions and Gloria and Oscar represent different responses.
Some viewers will receive that message clear as a bell, but for the balance of audiences who look to connect with characters first before buying into a well-constructed metaphor, "Colossal" will be a title thrown back at this film attached to words like "headache" or "waste of time." The diagnosis can be attributed to Vigalondo's narrow focus on Gloria and Oscar's role in this high concept rather than nurturing and developing them as complete characters for their own sake.
Gloria and Oscar aren't two-dimensional, but they lack any semblance of character motivation. They drunkenly stumble into this plot in every sense. Once Gloria makes the decision to go home, it's unclear whether she just wants to ride out the storm and hope her boyfriend will take her back, discover what she wants from life, treat this homecoming as a fresh start or a distraction – and then the monster discovery happens, diverting all her attention. Hathaway already has an unfairly maligned reputation as an unlikable actress, and she continues to take roles that do her no favors, though by the end she finds herself in the role of hero.
The evolution of her relationship with Oscar makes even less sense. Vigalondo dangles a secret from their past in front of us to keep us in suspense, suggesting that this secret might illuminate the inexplicably strange and ever-stranger interactions between them, but nothing solves the problem of not understanding where either of them is coming from in the film's final act.
"Colossal" has that imaginative, almost "Twilight Zone"-esque premise that many moviegoers, myself included, usually can't help but fall for, yet the motivation, conflict and methodology of this movie are in such disarray that it hampers the depth of its insights. All it needed was a few more key moments of common sense and clarity to allow its message to resonate. Instead, we receive that message in a direct, emotionless way.

This is the sort of film that is more frustrating than bad. Vigalondo had something really special here. He just didn’t quite pull it off.
