Description

So we watched the film for my birthday on Halloween. The first time I saw it, I was a bit put off by Shin Gojira's story and design. However, after viewing it the second time with my friends and family and seeing their reactions, hearing their questions and paying attention, I realize just how great the film is. It's one of the very best ways to tell a horror film with a giant monster. No clear goals, no discernible motive, just human ingenuity and effort versus a towering horror that threatens us all with its very existence. His designs throughout the film are both horrid and confusing yet well developed.

The best part was after it was over, everyone turned to me and asked for answers about the stranger details of the film, (Which I won't spoil here). I could only quote theories from the G-Fan magazine and personal musings but it made me happy to share my love of Godzilla with the people I love. Shin may not be the prettiest Godzilla (That goes to the Heisei version obviously) but he's still a part of the franchise and I embrace him along with the others.

I think my friends enjoyed the feature but rest assured i still plan to shower them with viewings of all the classic Showa era shenanigans which turned me into a kaiju loving kid so many years ago.

I highly recommend watching the film Shin Godzilla to any G Fan out there for a really compelling film about humans, disaster situations and dealing with the unknown on a city wide level. This film does not disappoint.
