THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SOME SPOILERS.
Imagine yourself being somewhere in California, San Francisco or Los Angeles... whatever. Think about what would you do if the news came on and talked about an unknown, gigantic monster is heading to your area? Would you be terrified or brave? Now that is how Godzilla flow...
Godzilla is a monster-action film which shows how mankind survived during a threatening situation such as the two winged creatures who rose up and went around the Earth to harmed people.
Prior to the film being shown, I liked the opening of the film. Using old footages or probably the original Godzilla film to pieced them up as the opening was unique and interesting. In the starting of the film, the audience are shown with an event which occurred in the Philippines in the year 1999. This was the location where a group of people discovered two egg pods and an enormous skeleton underground. However, one of the egg pods was hatched and the creature flew out. At the same time, somewhere in Japan, there is a Brody family which consisted of parents and a son. The father works as a plant supervisor at Janjira Nuclear Plant, so does the mother who probably worked as one of the team who checked the nuclear reactor.
Watching the moment where the father (his acting was impactful) had his last glance of the mother, who knew she was about to die, due to the monster (who happened to be the one from the Philippines) under the nuclear plant, was the saddest thing to see. Imagining yourself losing your loved ones due to unfortunate accident or natural disaster is something you remember for life.
The film itself is definitely refreshing because I have never seen "monster versus a monster" film for quite some time now. I liked the fighting moments where Godzilla saved the citizens and fight off two winged creatures to balanced the peace. The film itself showed that even nuclear power is sometimes not a right option to end the suffering. Nuclear power only creates chaos...
