This movie is actually a new one that came out in theaters recently. GODZILLA. THANK GOD. I saw it just yesterday and it was quite good. I'm not gonna spoil the plot but the story is that Godzilla and other enormous creatures like him roamed the Earth when it was much more radioactive and they used that as a food source. Once the earth started to become less radioactive they all went underground or into the deepest parts of the ocean to absorb radiation from the earths core. The nuclear explosions in Japan at the end of WW2 awoke one... The tests in the Pacific afterwards were not tests.... They were trying to kill it.
I loved this movie. Compared to Pacific Rim I liked them equally but I do have a bias from watching Godzilla movies since I was a kid so every time Godzilla let loose his earth-shattering roar I nearly stood up in my movie theatre seat. I guess Pacific Rim was more colorful but some of the angles in this movie are really good and it really makes you feel just how enormous these things are.
(SPOILERS). So there is one time where it feels a lot like Godzilla has died before the climax of the movie. When it seems like he is dying you can feel a little sad just like in the older movies where Godzilla might have died protecting Japan from some sort of creature and the people of Japan always seem sad when that happens. When I was small I always thought that was a little silly but I thought they did it really well in this movie and it makes more sense in this movie because most of it is from a main characters perspective instead of from the monsters it makes it seem more believable why they would feel that way. I also liked how the story followed more like the older movies but still appealed to new audiences.
Godzilla was an epic movie and you should see it now on the big screen. Bye.
