Essentially a remake of the first Godzilla vs. Mothra and the Godzilla vs. Megaguirus which has nearly the same kind of main characters. Apparently Toho has been running the recent Godzilla series as an advertisement for toys and collectibles since three films of the last four have been following a very restrictive formula.
Not the best of the new series, the plot is incomprehensible to anyone who hasn't seen the previous film or hasn't watched the average Ultraman episode from the last twenty years. It was nice to see the actor from the first Mothra film and he actually lent some professionalism to the mostly light weight cast.
The SFX were excellent at times but Mothra still looks like a plush toy on wires. The Godzilla suit looked very rubbery, like the cheap rubber animals you get at the toy store. Part of the problem is the Toho effect crew overlighting the scenes. I first noticed this in GMK:All Out Attack. The day scenes looked fine but anything set at night was overlit. The new Gamera films never had this problem so I attribute it to the Toho SFX style. The first full shot of Mothra in this film is so flat and phony it's like the FX guys were purposely trying to roll their craft back 40 years. In Godzilla vs. Megaguirus, the monster scenes were set almost entirely during the day and overall looked pretty good. Another problem was the stiffness of the Godzilla suit. Compare the puppetry in this film to the Godzilla in Megaguirus and you'll see what I mean.
All told the film moves at a good clip and if you don't get too serious it's an OK way to spend 90 minutes.
