15 years after an accident in one of Japan's power plants, it is revealed to the audience that something was actually growing from the ground. After tampering with it, scientists accidentally release a monster into the world. After wreaking havoc, Godzilla rises from the ocean to fight it. Humans try to survive all the disaster that were caused by the monster battles, deciding whether or not Godzilla poses a threat or is trying to protect them.
As I said in the beginning, Godzilla is barely in the movie, which is a shame considering all the scenes of disaster were so well done leaving me to feel like this should be a tie-in to a Godzilla movie that focused on him fighting. Unfortunately, the non-disaster scenes (you know, the human aspects of the film) are incredibly boring and some of the dialogue was poorly written in my opinion. It reminds me of the problems in Ang Lee's Hulk, where the Hulk parts were pretty cool but all the non-Hulk parts were boring and forgettable.
Though very well directed and a great 3D and D-Box experience, this movie is poorly written, failing to make us feel attached to the characters and not giving us more scenes where Godzilla fights monsters. It is a guilty pleasure, but barely succeeds in that because the great scenes are so rare that it doesn't make up for its poorly executed scenes that takes up pretty much the entire movie.
2/5 Stars
