Just Another Disaster Movie

Rating: 3/10 (1 October 2014)

This is not a kaiju movie. Despite having giant monsters and scenes of civilization being devastated, these are just the backdrop for the human characters as they struggle to survive. Replace Godzilla with a volcano, tsunami, asteroid, or any other random catastrophic event and the movie would not change. Unacceptable. I went into this movie somewhat hopeful despite having heard the negative criticism because I love Godzilla. I was thoroughly disappointed. To give credit where credit is due: the CG effects were well done. If you have no love for giant monsters and just want to see The Day After Tomorrow or Dante's Peak again, then by all means go for it.
