Storyline
In 1999, the Janjira nuclear plant was mysteriously destroyed with most hands lost including supervisor Joe Brody's colleague and wife, Sandra. Years later, Joe's son, Ford, a US Navy ordnance disposal officer, must go to Japan to help his estranged father who obsessively searches for the truth of the incident. In doing so, father and son discover the disaster's secret cause on the wreck's very grounds. This enables them to witness the reawakening of a terrible threat to all of Humanity, which is made all the worse with a second secret revival elsewhere. Against this cataclysm, the only hope for the world may be Godzilla, but the challenge for the King of the Monsters will be great even as Humanity struggles to understand the destructive ally they have.User Reviews
I wasn't going to
review this film, however, after reading mostly negative reviews, I felt
I needed to put in my two cents worth. I am definitely in the minority
on this one. I loved this film. It captured my attention instantly and
held it for the entire two hours. Sure, the plot is familiar, but anyone
who expects a new plot for one of the oldest, most famous monsters
ever, is nothing but kidding themselves. This is a new version of some
of the old "Godzilla vs....." movies. Not similar to the 1998 film in
which one monster stomps around and destroys the city. Sure, that also
happens here, but not without an epic battle between Godzilla and other
radioactive monsters. Yes, most reviewers are complaining that Godzilla
only appears for 10 minutes in the movie. This is true, as the other
monsters have more screen time, but most of the film is built on
suspense, and in my opinion it works very well. There is still plenty of
chaos and destruction for the action buffs. The human story (about Ford
Brody and his family) is quite weak and almost non-existent. But that
does not take anything away from this epic monster movie. I thoroughly
enjoyed it, it is VERY entertaining.
