Godzilla: Final Wars
This had its world premier here in California (even the Japanese haven't see this one yet) This one ROCKS!
I'm not even a Godzilla fan, but this one has everything. Every monster and alien invaders too.
There is even a monster based on the US CGI Godzilla (the New York one from the creators of ID4), of course the real Godzilla kicks his butt.
Excellent story and effects from Japan
---------------------
Ryuhei Kitamura, the prolific cult director behind Versus, Alive, Azumi (and others), turns his hyper-kinetic style to Japan’s biggest export, and re-invents the big green guy for his 50th anniversary. When he visited IndieFest in 2004 to present Aragami, he announced this project - and we are delighted to bring it to San Francisco.
When Kitamura began Godzilla: Final Wars (the 28th in the series) he wanted to make a film that would both pay tribute to, and stand out from, it’s predecessors. Breathlessly paced and jam-packed with aliens, future-tech, and classic monsters (like Rodan, Mothra, the Smog Monster, Gigan and more), Kitamura has lived up to his promise to deliver “a roller coaster ride.” Have another beer, strap yourself in and brace yourself for global destruction - Kaiju style. This is reputed to be the last in the series (but only time will tell).
