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.

Fantastic
21 May 2014 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

OK, first off I am kind of angry with some of the critics. Don't go into a GODZILLA based movie with monsters and expect this awesome plot that will blow your mind. What you should expect is great cgi, monsters, and things freaking blowing the hell up. They delivered with flying colors on that note. There were parts in the movie that my mouth dropped with excitement. They went all out on the cgi effects. It was a lot of fun to watch. Go into this movie with action and monsters in mind PLEASE! Best quote for this movie: "Damn nature; You scary!"

"Godzilla"

With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound He pulls the spitting high tension wires down

Helpless people on a subway train Scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them

He picks up a bus and he throws it back down As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town

Oh no, they say he's got to go go go Godzilla Oh no, there goes Tokyo go go Godzilla

History shows again and again How nature points up the folly of men
