Kaiju sized fun!
I effing loved it! Trying to find time to go watch it again and again! A few years ago, the Academy Awards entertained the idea of introducing a category for Outstanding Achievement in Popular Film, which, frankly, seemed quite silly. However, had they followed through, I believe this film would have been a strong contender. Watching it in IMAX was an incredible experience; the cinematography, action, and sound were all elevated to another level. While it may not win Best Picture, it undoubtedly offers an awesome cinematic experience. The audience in my theater reacted as if it were a superhero movie, with plenty of "ooohs" and "ahhhs," and even some cheers. The film has a bit of a slow start, with Kong heavily featured, but Godzilla steals the show. There are numerous surprises, and the story is more substantial than expected. My only minor gripe is that I kept anticipating characters and storylines from other installments and the Monarch show to appear, but they're only vaguely referenced. It's a bit strange how everything is connected yet not fully explored. Surprisingly, there are no mid or post-credit scenes, leaving room for speculation about future installments. Hopefully, there will be more because these kaiju flicks are progressively improving with each entry. Overall, a great flick that I anticipate will exceed its budget and become profitable. Looking forward to what comes next!
