Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis film features Godzilla Earth, the largest incarnation of the character to date, which was previously seen at the end of Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters (2017). Godzilla Earth is 300 meters tall and weighs 100,000 metric tons, with the second-largest version of Godzilla, featured in Shin Godzilla (2016), standing 118.5 meters tall and weighing 92,000 metric tons.
- GoofsThe characters reason that the Hotua tribe must stem from the human race since they closely resemble humans. This logic is undermined by the fact that in this universe, both the Bilusaludo and the Exif aliens also look just like humans apart from a few very minor differences. The Hotua don't look any more human than they do.
- Quotes
Halu-Elu Dolu-Do: Don't you want to win against Godzilla? With limited time and limited resources, it's an obvious decision to begin discarding the most inefficient thing. The physical body is one such thing, right?
Haruo Sakaki: Metphies mentioned that you guys wanted to become the same being as monsters. Are you planning to give birth to a new Godzilla on this planet?
Halu-Elu Dolu-Do: Godzilla is the product of Earth's civilization. You seem to regret this as a mistake, but for me, I commend it as a great achievement. If you were to be faulted, it's the foolishness that you couldn't control Godzilla that was generously born. Think about who this planet currently belongs to. If Godzilla was the name given to the environment's ruler, we humanoids must attain the goal of becoming Godzilla.
Haruo Sakaki: Are you being serious?
Rilu-Elu Belu-Be: To be fused with Mechagodzilla City is the same as organisms evolving to the next stage. Instead of being weak creatures controlled by emotions, you'll live in a world of perfect logic.

I decided to write this review as I felt the 2 user reviews up at the moment were either a bit lacking, or just downright pointless.
I personally enjoyed it enough to give it a 6, but it's a soft 6 for me as there are plenty of "down" periods that felt a bit dragged out for me. I also think that the story was a bit lacking in places as well as some characters that felt underutilized. (The pacing may be redeemed once I've seen all 3 and then be able to judge it as a whole, but for now, it's a gripe I have with it as a stand-alone film)
The animation is still stellar and I really enjoy the whole mythos of man/humanoid vs giant world ending monster(s), I just wish this particular movie had either some more action to it, or that we got to explore the Houtua (the aboriginals Haruo met in the first film) a lot more, but maybe that's saved for the 3rd film.
At the end of the day, I feel like it's worth seeing if you like monster movies, and I'm looking forward to the conclusion in the 3rd film.
I hope I succeeded in giving people a bit more nuance to determine if they should give it a go, as I do feel there are redeemable qualities to the contained story of this trilogy.
