The movie satisfies a basic cinematic need: the need to watch big monsters fight each other … a lot!

A bunch of skateboarders ride past Terri (Jacob Wysocki), an overweight teen standing glumly by the side of the road, and one compliments his comfort-driven fashion sense: “Nice pajamas, man.” Terri cracks a little smile. He still feels like an outcast, but at least he’s found someone who grants him fleeting acceptance. Even if the person praising his sartorial choices is himself an outsider as well. Moments like this abound in Azazel Jacobs’ Terri, keeping just to the realistic side of quirk, and finding moments of small revelation in subtle gestures.
