I hope you were lucky enough to see this film on the largest screen possible, because it’s by far the best Godzilla movie in recent memory.
It takes place at the end of WWII when a Japanese kamikaze pilot fakes an engine issue to escape his fate. Godzilla attacks the island he lands on, and he is one of two survivors. He returns home to find his parents dead from air raids and befriends a woman caring for an orphan.
As time goes on, Godzilla reappears, threatening Tokyo and other Japanese cities. It is up to our protagonist, still at war with his own demons, to save the day with the help of a few friends.
The story is what really shines. Characters are interesting and well acted. It’s heartfelt from beginning to end, something we need more of in CGI heavy films. Did you hear what I said, Hollywood? This low budget film from Japan knocked it out of the park by putting the story first. It’s more about inner demons than fantastical ones, and it’s amazing.
The effects are eye popping. Godzilla never looked better, and he spends most of the film looking happy about it.
Really loved this one, and that is saying something because I’m not a fan of wartime movies.
Five stars and a few more for Japan’s most famous Kaiju.
