A race of she-aliens, the Kilaaks, brainwash Earth's monsters into attacking major cities, prompting a team of astronauts to stop the invaders.-IMDb
Despite its shortcomings, Destroy All Monsters is an enjoyable movie for Japanese Kaiju fans. All the "Major Players" plus a few obscure monsters make an appearance. _________________ "You look like a pooped out pinwheel."

Great Scott!
Great trailer!
Great monsters destroying great cities!
One thing which impressed me is the scene of the hot Japanese "space babe" smiling sweetly as she tells a group of people, "I don't think anybody has anything to fear from us . . . but we are going to control you now."
Oh, is that all?
Then we see each Kaiju destroying a different major city around the globe — with recognizable landmarks to show that they really are New York, Paris, Peking, etc.!
So, this isn't just another Monster Mash slug-fest. It's a race of alien invaders who control giant monsters to stomp mankind into mushy toe-jam!
Cool!

Not only is it cool, but Destroy All Monsters has some of the best miniatures and sets of all the Kaiju movies. Very impressive. _________________ "You look like a pooped out pinwheel."

By gum, I noticed that, too, when I watched the trailer.
It was a bit like watching the Supermarionation productions of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson because of the details in the buildings and the landscapes.
Archive.org has a download available, but it's 12 GB — a very large file. I'm downloading it now, but it will take about 12 hours to complete, at the speed about 200 KB/sec.
If I put it on WeTransfer so that members of All Sci-Fi can get it, the download might be a bit faster.
However, it can also be viewed on Archive.org by clicking on the link below.

Here's the WeTransfer link I promised — but please remember that the file is a whopping 12 GB, so it will take a few hours to download.
As for the movie, I was disappointed by the story, which rambled around like a clueless American tourist lost in Tokyo. The whole movie is composed of disjointed scenes and wacky plot elements which make very little sense.
Still. if you're a Japanese Kaiju fan, you're in for a treat.
As for me, I did love the rocket ship featured in this movie. It's elaborate design is a true work of art!
