After Legendary's 2014 reboot became a big success, Toho finally decided on giving us a Godzilla film after 12 years of complete absence. However they made sure it won't be like their disastrous Millennium era so the team came up with a genuinely well done film and the best Godzilla film since GMK
As with every other big G film, it has an environmental message to it. That being to not just dump nuclear waste onto the ocean. However the team made sure to make a terrifying, destructive monster which humanity will learn from that won't be brushed off. So instead of the regular black skinned lizard-like Godzilla, we rather got a zombie-like beast that is horrifying
The premise and execution are just as well done. To make up for a lack of monsters, the writers decided to add in little details and crazy ideas to keep the audience hooked and interested. Like when how the problem becomes international or when Godzilla is in the background of some scenes. But my only problem stems from exactly here. Those inclusions did make some of the scenes interesting, but it failed to make the entire human plot interesting as there's really no particularly special character nor any human dramas or dynamics which ultimately leaves a lot of scenes boring
Despite little screen time of Godzilla got, the moments when he was on screen did not disappoint. All scenes with him were very entertaining and quite the blast as Godzilla is such a high threat so the humans literally do anything to stop him like a whole nuke or new inventions and even use rockets in cities. The sheer willingness of the human characters did help to make the Godzilla scenes more fun
Overall easily a contender for top 5 Godzilla films but lacks any interesting characters that brings it down. But this is still my favorite 2016 film
Rating: 8.8/10.
