A distant star, in two lovers' eyes

Act like Megalochelys atlas and smile, because it’s Fossil Friday! One of the largest known land turtles, scientists think this massive reptile could reach heights of 5.9 ft (1.8 m)—tall enough to look a grown human in the eye. This specimen’s shell measures some 7.4 ft (2.3 m) long and in life, it may have weighed more than 2,000 lbs (907 kg). Megalochelys lived during the Late Pliocene about 2 million years ago. The fossil on display in the Museum’s Hall of Vertebrate Origins was found in 1922 in Chandigarh, India.   You can spot this giant, and more, at the Museum! Plan your visit.

It's super fun, effectively blending whimsy and horror

There's weird monsters

There are mechsuits and robots

It believes in collective action

Max is a sweetie pie who respects women

Lucy passes the Mako Mori test

There's a number of silly little guys, one of whom gives off uncanny Charlie Day vibes

There's lesbians (Pacific Rim needed those)

There's women's wrongs (we can always use more women's wrongs)

Barb and Coop have that girlboss/malewife thing going on

There's a nonbinary character! (Also something Pacific Rim coulda used)

Music is composed by Ramin Djawadi

It's got a grungy aesthetic on par with Pacific Rim

It doesn't bootlick corporations or the military

It's aware that capitalism will sooner destroy the world than act against its own profit interests
