The most recent reboot of the Godzilla franchise started in 1964, brings you the adventures and its clashes with another giant creature, bringing up the question, whether these giant monsters are up against each other or humanity. 

Plot: Fifteen years after the Janjira Nuclear Plant got mysteriously destroyed, engineer Joe Brody is still looking for answers to the incident that took many lives, and also manages to get himself arrested in a quarantine area in Japan. His son, the veteran Navy, Ford while traveling to Japan to bring back his father, realizes that the answers that his father has been looking for are not only dangerous but has also come to life in front of their eyes as the two giant MUTO's (Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organisms). 

Edwards has done an incredibly courageous job of bringing the most famous monster in the world back to us in a completely fresh and revised storyline that makes us think many times about the great evils that the world has had to go through because of nuclear experiments and weapons. The face of the monster may be completely different, and a much larger package than it was ever before, but the movie has also helped bring out the emotional and tragic stories of the human characters in the movie, giving it a very striking contrast that is very appealing. 

Bryan Cranston as the obsessive and desperate engineer Joe Brody will make you feel for him as he portrays the emotions and the passivity of his actions towards all the disasters occurring around him as he keeps trying to look for answers amidst it all. Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Ford has also delivered a very good performance with his onscreen wife, Elle, played by Elizabeth Olsen, giving a very human and compassionate dimension about the common people who are barely able to hold on to each other to survive in all the chaos. Ken Watanabe’s character, Dr. Kyohei Yamane is extremely helpful for the audience as he gives us the logic and the reason behind the actions of the MUTO's, whenever the characters or the audience can get slightly confused. 

The monster being named in the title, there might not seem to be enough screen-time for the giant reptile. However, the scenes where he is there, are breath-taking as the CGI and the camera angles will make you hold your breath in anticipation about what each scene is about to unfold in the grandest and climactic way possible. Most of the scenes of the two MUTOS fighting or about when the soldiers are flying down from an aircraft with red flares into the misty darkness right beside the monster, are mostly to show how minuscule and insignificant the humans are beside it. 

Verdict: To this epic reboot about our Godzilla, being shown in a completely different light than we have ever seen him before, I give this movie 4 out of 5 victories.
