13 Awesome Movies To Watch This Summer (Which Aren't Blockbusters)

13. Colossal

Colossal Monster
NEON

Release Date: April 7

The Plot: A downtrodden woman, Gloria (Anne Hathaway), moves back to her hometown only to discover that her actions happen to directly control a monstrous Kaiju that has emerged to wreak havoc in South Korea.

Why It's Going To Be Awesome: For starters, the concept is totally insane and one of the most original premises in recent memory to star an A-list actress.

Plus, Colossal comes from the mind of the talented Nacho Vigalondo (Timecrimes), and reviews from the festival circuit have praised the film for its originality, uniquely strange tone, and Anne Hathaway's performance.

With the glut of big-budget movies sure to feature city-wide destruction this summer, it'll be refreshing to have a smaller, lower-budget effort in the mix too.
