GOJIRA

GODZILLA
[★★★☆☆]

Actually, I'm not a big fans of a huge charcoal dark grey dinosaur-look-alike, Godzilla. Maybe, I used to be a big fans of it, when I was child. But, cause I like watching movie, any kind of movies, so I also watched Godzilla.

Godzilla was released for the the first time in 1954 by Japan. Then it was remade by Rolland Emmerich in 1998, but it didn’t get good responds. And now, this movie was constructed by Gareth Edward.

Ford Brody, the son of the scientist couple from Janjira, is back home from his military duty. He meets his wife and little son. But suddenly he’s called by Japan Government, that tells him if his dad, Joe, is arrested. So, Ford decides to leaving for Japan tonight. The reason why his dad is arrested is because Joe crossed the forbidden zone. He’s wondering about something has already happened in about 15 years ago, when he and his wife worked in the same company, Janjira. His wife died there. Joe believes it happened not because human error, but caused by aliens named MUTO which is looking for radiation in order to breed.

Godzilla doesn’t make an existence until one hour. Until there’s something comes out from an eggshell that was found near an abandoned nuclear plant. That looks like an insect  and pterodactyl or microcaptor or whatever. But, that’s not Godzilla. That is a Muto. Actually there are two Mutos, the big one and the small one. And the big one which is found in Nevada is female, and it’s going to spawn. *can you imagine?* Then, the huge charcoal dark grey comes ashore, preceded by tsunami that puts people in hazard. It fights with the big female Muto.

Their fight doesn’t appear strong and clearly enough. But thumbs up for Gareth Edwards. He tried so hard to build the story. Even this movie has much conversations and details before going into nitty gritty. So, its writer put human drama on it to strengthen the story. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have well background and every character appears without any obvious reason. So that looks like useless, even in the beginning, Godzilla has an interesting story.
