Godzilla

The people of earth scramble when ancient creatures awaken and wreak havoc on civilization. But for all humanity’s bombs and guns and planning, nothing seems to work to eradicate the marauding beasts of enormous size and power. The biggest of these is Godzilla, a massive lizard-like beast that is a super predator that can smash buildings with a single blow. As the clock ticks down, the survival of the earth rests on one desperate plan and one unexpected ally.

ClearPlay In Action!

Religious exclamations (about 20), figure heavily in ClearPlay’s work, along with about 10 swear words. While there is violence, it is primarily between beasts and buildings, so there isn’t a lot to skip in the action scenes. The movie filters well and with filters would be appropriate for younger teens and up. The young ones might be a little scared by some of the monsters.

This was, by far, the most satisfying of any of the Godzilla movies that I’ve seen. It takes itself seriously, isn’t corny, and actually thinks backstory is important. Yes, the human beings do tend to get a little lost when the monsters show up, but you don’t typically go see a giant monster movie to focus on the humans, do you? While a little ponderous in parts, there are great action sequences and some fantastic special effects. For action and monster movie fans, this is a must see.
