Firebreather is about a young boy named Duncan. He is 16 and has just started at a new school. He has to deal with the problems of being the new kid on the block, but he does have scales and orange skin. He also eats charcoal for his food.
Now, here are the things I really liked about the movie.
The main fight was a nasty one.
Jenna isn't the ditzy blond girl she started out as in the movie.
His father does indeed seem to genuinely care for both Duncan and his mother, and his mother does seem to genuinely care for his father as she still wears the gem her gave her around her neck.
And during the main fight he did do what he can to protect her. If you do not care, you don't try to protect someone period.
The funny scene was when his mother started to explain how he was conceived and went "LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THIS!" Which is understandable, because it's kind of a creepy thing when you consider that she had the son of a Kaiju who was several hundred feet tall.
Belloc is much more powerful than he lets on. He only allowed himself to be captured to be near his son. That's also a sign of genuine concern over his son.
There were some nice looking planes and tech porn in the film.
The creep factor had these small Kaiju, about the size of a large toad, appear just before a large Kaiju appeared. Few people seemed to be aware of them.
Over all it was a solid story.
Minor things that I didn't like.
Jenna kept the money for the prom in her locker. That's a minor plot hole because I don't think public schools would allow something like that. But it served as part of a minor subplot in the story which was to help Jenna warm up to Duncan. Because
The school seemed to be very large and endless.
There does seem to be undertones of racism in the show, usually expressed by the humans as they fought the Kaiju. To the humans, the Kaiju are just monsters, no different than how any other oppressing group views the group they are trying to oppress.
Overall, I give the show a B. It was an enjoyable show.
There's an encore November 27th.
