An action packed coming-of-age epic adventure, this film follows the story of Ruby Gillman, a shy teenager who discovers that she has inherited the powers of the legendary Kraken, a mythical sea creature. For the uninitiated, Kraken is a sea monster of enormous size said to appear off the coasts of Norway. One`s who have watched Japanese animated movies will have some inkling because they might have seen Kraken fight Godzilla. In this film though, the sea monster`s represents good, while mermaid`s get to do bad.
Kraken matriarch Grandmama (Jane Fonda) along with her family, daughter Agatha Gillman (Toni Collette), and granddaughter Ruby live on land and they are taken as humans. Things change when insecure teen, Ruby (Lana Condor) ventures into the sea while trying to save the boy she has a crush on. That’s when Ruby’s giant Kraken identity reveals itself and the blood feud with the vain and narcissistic Mermaid Queen ensues.
