Bosco685 Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 I finally got the chance to see this film, English Language Edition. Although it is heavy on human scenes, it seems to work for this movie as we are dealing with a single protagonist (mankind) versus a single antagonist (Godzilla). Even more when you see how government bureaucracy interferes with addressing such a threat leading to extensive lives lost. And the small details such as department heads undermining one another while leaders are trying to form a course of action definitely forces you to consider the people side of the story. The Godzilla design is kind of odd as the creature goes through transformations that can at times feel strange and rubbery. But in the end it comes to a final threat design that somewhat resembles the old Godzilla. One mistake made with the English Language translation is when in certain scenes they show government documents outlining actions against Godzilla, and they are all in Japanese with no English subtitle to explain what it is you're looking at. Which wouldn't be a big deal if the camera didn't focus on such documents for an extended period to allow the audience to read the document. 8.5/10 overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
