Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters

I recently watched Godzilla: Planet of Monsters (2017) on Netflix. The story is set 20,000 years after Godzilla seized control of Earth, focusing on humanity's struggle to recolonize the planet. In this post-apocalyptic world, Godzilla and the monster universe pose significant challenges for the would-be settlers.

Directed by Hiroyuki Seshita (Ajin) and Kôbun Shizuno (The Journey), the film features the voices of Cristina Valenzuela (Resident Evil: Death Island), Mamoru Miyano (Death Note), Kenta Miyake (Fullmetal Alchemist) and Robbie Daymond (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - Swordsmith Village Arc).

Godzilla: Planet of Monsters exhibits inconsistent levels of animation quality. Godzilla's portrayal is impressive, and the science fiction elements are well executed. However, the depiction of Earth, characters, and futuristic technology falls short in some aspects. Nonetheless, the storyline had potential, effectively delivering the insurmountable circumstances. The film's numerous character deaths adds to the persistent sense of desperation. While the ending is somewhat predictable and the twist lacks the intended surprise, it successfully set the stage for a worthwhile sequel.

In summary, Godzilla: Planet of Monsters is an average animated film that caters to fans of the monster universe. I would score this a 6/10 and recommend giving it a watching it once.
