GODZILLA: THE PLANET EATER (Theatrical Release Japan 2018)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.7|5.0 Starsììì

Godzilla: The Planet Eater has two challenges that contribute to its lack of universal appeal: voiceovers do not match the subtitles and the storyline is exceptionally difficult to follow (even if one has read a plotline) due to the multitudinous number of characters that are not sufficiently ranked to know who is and who is not important. This Godzilla film wants to incorporate a strong spiritual theme that increases confusion.
