4 | ''Negadon: The Monster from Mars'' is [[AllCGICartoon a short CGI film]] that [[GenreThrowback pays homage]] to the [[{{Kaiju}} Giant Monster]] movies from the 1960s. This includes having a grainy-old-film look, spaceships that look like toy models, etc. Despite this, it has a story that is played completely straight and the quality of the graphics is very high. |

6 | The story takes place in the future, when humanity begins exploring Mars for colonization. They find a strange object there and, [[TooDumbToLive of course]], bring it back to Earth, where it turns into a monster and starts destroying Tokyo. A scientist named Dr. Narasaki, who has been in seclusion ever since the accidental death of his small daughter, is stirred into action and brings his old [[HumongousMecha giant robot]] out of storage to fight this menace. |

11 | !!Tropes: |
12 | |
13 | * AntagonistTitle: Negadon is of course the main villain. |
14 | * AttackReflector: The Miroku's drill is capable of catching Negadon's beam attack and sending it right back at it. |
15 | * BigBad: The title Negadon. |
16 | * DugTooDeep: Humanity begins exploring Mar seeking to colonize it. They end up accidentally unearthing Negadon and transporting it to Earth where it awakens and goes on a rampage. Narasaki comments it'd likely been slumbering there for millions of years. |
17 | * DefeatEqualsExplosion: Negadon goes up in a gigantic explosion after being run through by the Miroku's drill. |
18 | * HeroicSacrifice: Narasaki takes the battle to the space, knowing that he is unlikely to return. |
19 | * HotBlooded: He might be old, but Narasaki has his moments once he actually gets in the pilot seat. |
20 | * HumansAreBastards: Narasaki blames mankind for bringing Negadon upon themselves. Then again he's [[UnreliableNarrator not exactly in the mood to be fair,]] and ultimately chooses to kill Negadon and save the world anyway. |
21 | * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Narasaki finishes off Negadon by driving the Miroku's drill straight through it's beam emitter and out it's back. |
22 | * OverclockingAttack: Narasaki kicks the Miroku's reactor up to the max to finish Negadon off. |
23 | * PreAssKickingOneLiner: "May my final gift to humanity...be sending you to oblivion!" |
24 | * RetroFuture |
25 | * SharedUniverse: With ''Anime/{{Planzet}}'', that takes place 22 years later. |
26 | * ShoutOut: |
27 | ** A close-up of a moth might be a homage to ''Film/{{Mothra}}''. |
28 | ** Narasaki is a scientist with a missing eye (he has a bionic replacement) and has the only weapon capable of killing the monster but refuses to use it, [[Film/{{Gojira}} sound familiar?]] |
29 | * StarfishAliens: Negadon is an alien monster that's not even vaguely humanoid and resembles some form of shellfish more than anything else on Earth. |
30 | * SuperPrototype: The Miroku as an in-progress prototype robot. Naturally it's ''far'' more powerful than anything the defense forces can manage. |
31 | * SuperRobot: The Miroku was created to be an exploration and construction device, not a weapon, but it still came even with built-in drills and a (sort of) RocketPunch. |
32 | * {{Terraforming}}: What people planned to do with Mars. |
33 | * ThisIsADrill: The Miroku 2's primary weapon is an arm mounted drill. |
34 | * TokyoFireBall: Negadon lands in Tokyo like a meteor, causing a huge crater, then proceeds to obliterate everything in its path. |
35 | * TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: The story takes place in 2025. |
36 | * TheUnreveal: The alien monster is never named within the film itself. |
