If he wasn't the protagonist, Haruo would be considered a psychopath who is too obsessed with Earth and Godzilla.

So the real Godzilla, the one that forced humanity to flee Earth is much bigger, stronger, and smarter than the Godzilla they killed. Good luck killing it bruh.

As a heavy science fictional theme that focused a lot with the combination of monsters battle, a little information about the space, and a time travel batshit, these movie, somehow failed to amaze me. Its surely brought the legendary name of Godzilla. But somehow, its combination with the alien thingy just a shameful idea. By reading so much comment on before, even for their review, i am aggree at most of the part: the movie failed to be a nice show.

From my first impression, it could easily be labelled as a standard shounen anime that dragging a lot of sci-fi battle monster, as your main theme. Its a failure. The storyline failed to be more wiseful. Every detail felt undetail and its just left it like that without even taking it back again. Because the story just do not let you understand what was goin on and fast-forwarding everything in a flash. At the end, i can easily judge this as a standard battle monster with so much nonsense due to limited amount of explanations. Its not so deep to get me attached. Even i need to rewatch some scenes to understand what was goin, but fail due to the limited information.

Such as my simple question: is that even possible to time travel themself so long. But nothing particular they could find on their journey? About their alien mates, why only two races? It must be another one surrounded them. Why they did not encounters them? Lol. As a sci-fi, the show really fail to stay focused on their Godzilla problem, and decided to convoluted it by taking the problems into a universe shit, damn space trouble itself. I found it odd. But, oh, well, this just too old for me.

Also, right, its HanaKana that catch me first into this movie. And her role over this movie just unsatisfying. Not much of a great thing happened surrounding her, just my another sigh for this movie. The male MC was too bland with his obsession, its too cliche that couldn't even hold my interesting to him. About the art and sounds, i may had a bit entertaining over these two aspects. While the art and 3DCG seemed keeping to be a decent, the sounds composition just filled out with a full of awfulness. Its not matched, its just full of a damn bass that irritating my ears so much. Only Godzilla war cry satisfied me. Other than that, just a complete wasted its potential and became generic, even their ending song theme too.

Shortly, this is my scoring:
Story: 5
Art, animation in general: 7
Sounds: 5
Characterization: 5
Enjoyment: 7 (HanaKana damn voice acting worked fine as my sole satisfaction. Plus one for my pure satisfaction over the show at general.)
Overall rating score : 6/10 (close the gap of 0.2 point as my generousity)

So, yeah i am so sorry. May i come in to their sequel? Depends. I still don't know. It may difficult for me, ofc. So, let see if i had a time to forced myself.

Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here.

Fine movie, plot felt bland (especially the characters) and I kinda wish they focused some more on the aliens as they skipped over that real quick. Still interesting sci-fi concept of humans returning to earth to reclaim it from Godzilla and also that preditable yet epic scene of the true Godzilla emerging and turning the short-lived victory into a loss.

I'm a huge Godzilla and Monsterverse fan but ngl this was a bit disappointing. Not really impressed wit the animation style.

I'll say though, it's appearance wasn't really appealing but it sure looked overwhelming.

Also the 'real' Godzilla was way bigger. Measuring over 300 metres!!! Not to mention it being equipped with more devastating and wide range attacks.

After the end credits we get to see who looks like an alien I guess?

A Godzilla event should also happen in real life. Human overpopulation is a serious thing and reducing our population to less than a billion is a healthy thing for both our planet and civilization. I don't think Godzilla would attack us any further if we weren't harming this planet. Humans should just become forest people and live with nature.

Anyway, it's a good movie. They've thought out nice details such as time dilation, plants fossilizing human structures etc. 7/10

But yeah, watching this movie makes me even more pissed off at humans. Why are we so conceited to think we own and deserve this planet? I hate that kind of thinking.

I'm always down for a human-centered story in a kaiju film, just not when the main protagonist is this unlikable.
