Nagira is brought to life with top motion effects, the creature Nagira is a mix of a piranha, a crab, and a snake. This is a full length feature film that will clock in at 80 minutes, which is long enough to be good but not so long it will drag out. The budget was an astronomical €3400 (~ $5000.) November 14 is the world premier, and the DVD will get released in 2010.
We all know the drill, Nagira shows up smashes things, and the army is useless. Eventually a giant robot is created to challenge Nagira and his destroying things philosophy of life. Okay, how about a bit more of specifics:
1986 — A mysterious meteorite crashes on Earth. High-level scientists find traces of extraterrestrial life on the rocks and set about deciphering the genetic material. Years later, the breakthrough occurs — and the lab burns down to its foundations. The leader of the team is murdered shortly afterwards in hospital. Investigators set their sights on a billionaire arms mogul after a towering monster appears, leaving an entire neighborhood in rubble. Even the Army with its tanks and missiles doesn’t stand a chance. But rescue comes from faraway Japan in the form of a professor who arrives in Germany with his assistant to work with the Crisis Team toward finding a solution to the monstrous problem. It turns out, however, that there is a traitor in the ranks of the Crisis Staff. Someone seems to be putting the destructive force of the monster to profitable use for themselves … With a budget of only 3400€ director and screenwriter Florian Schröder has produced an affectionate homage to B movies and the Japanese monster films of the 70s.
