    Storyline

    Edit
    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. —Kenneth Chisholm (kchishol@rogers.com)

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Godzilla is covered in keloid scars (raised, thick patches of skin). The original Gojira (1954) was heavily scarred to evoke the gruesome marks borne by the survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings.
    • Goofs
      During the battle between Godzilla and the two MUTOs, many of San Francisco's skyscrapers, such as the Grand Hyatt Hotel, are destroyed multiple times, then reappear after their collapse.
    • Quotes

      Admiral William Stenz: This alpha predator of yours, doctor, do you really think he has a chance?

      Dr. Ichiro Serizawa: The arrogance of men is thinking nature is in our control and not the other way around. Let them fight.

    • Crazy credits
      The opening credits are a montage of Monarch documents and 1950s videos. All text on these documents are blacked out except for the names cast/crew members. The montage ends with a nuclear bomb going off, which causes a white-out in which the film title appears.

    "The arrogance of men is thinking nature is in our control and not the other way around."
    When this came out, people were upset that it did not have enough creatures in it. I agreed back then but now after the sequels I realize that Gareth Edwards was trying to focus on the story and not just a CGI fest. I really enjoyed Bryan Cranston's character and wish I could have more of that too. While I left wanting more, sometimes that is better than having too much.
