Member Secret Executioner Posted November 8, 2013 Member Share Posted November 8, 2013 Being into sci-fi cinema AND into Toho's movies, I'm surprised I hadn't found out about this one until now - I actually head of it because it seems (according to IMDB) stock footage from it was used in the whacky 1972 sci-fi movie known as Doomsday Machine AKA Armaggedon 1975 and various other titles. The story is rather clichee and has been used in countless films: a bew astral body has been discovered and it seems Earth is right in its path. The twist is that this time, Earth will be moved away - something that while a saving grace may cause some trouble: destruction of the Moon, earthquakes and also the appearance of a gigantic monster called Maguma that looks like a walrues (a part which is absent from the American theatrical/TV release of the film). The film seems hard to find as well, as the only DVD release that seems to exist is a Japanese release with Japanese only - no subtitles or alternative dub. Anybody knows more of this one or (even better) has actually seen it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member KyFi Posted November 9, 2013 Member Share Posted November 9, 2013 Still looking for a good release of this one. For years as a kid I read about movies like The Mysterians, Atragon, Battle in Outer Space, Dogora, H-Man, and others---and I finally got to see all those in the last 5-10 years, as they've been released in good-quality dvds. But no Gorath. Still haven't seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the titles listed here are available in movie packs like these: Toho pack Icons Of Sci-Fi: Toho Collection Not sure what the audio/video quality is like, but these sets look pretty nice. However, concerning Gorath, all I could find was this one. Still looks pretty nice, despite being only in Japanese... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member spannick Posted November 10, 2013 Member Share Posted November 10, 2013 there's a fan-subbed full DVD for it at torrent sites like CG and ADC, using the Japanese DVD as source. don't buy the lousy bootlegs in lower Quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
