Rebirth of Mothra (1996) is a movie that I recently watched on a random streaming service. The storyline follows a mining ⛏ company who accidentally releases Ghidora. A new Mothra is born and sent to stop Ghidora. That could be a tall task for a new born Mothra.
This movie is directed by Okihiro Yoneda (Rebirth of Mothra III) and stars Hitomi Takahashi (The End of the Pale Hour), Megumi Kobayashi (Gamera the Brave) and Sayaka Yamaguchi (The Detective is Way Ahead).
This movie is a little more for kids than the traditional monster movie but it's still fun to watch unfold. The monsters are well created and I enjoyed the little Mothra and little dragon to start the film. The two little ladies used to conjure Mothra are always awesome. Ghidora was a tremendous villain and he's probably my favorite character in the monster universe. I will say the CGI is more fun than good and a bit overdone for some aspects of the movie.
Overall, this is one of the lesser additions to the monster series but is still a must see. I would score this a 5.5/10 and recommend seeing it once.
