a movie that is for the technically retarded

Rating: 2/10 (2 March 2016)

First of all, I've never watched the original Godzilla films, or read any kind of book about it. I'm not a big fan, at all. All I wanted was an action movie where some monsters fight each other... i got that more or less, but it's an insult to the intellect of anyone who has studied some basic physics in school. Where to start describing the atrocities? Well, there's those monsters who eat radiation, but no actual living thing can do that... radiation kills in reality. But maybe that was in the original comics/films, whatever. Second, they go to a nuclear fallout zone and wear gas masks on their face... for freaking WHAT? radiations are extremely high frequency radio signals, they are not some goddamn air poison. Third, regarding those frequencies, they show some spectrum analyzers with the sounds of the monsters on screens... they show them many times throughout the movie, only thing is, those are not audio spectrums, wavelengths, or whatever way to put sound into graphic form. Then there's the door in a nuclear power plant - a thin sheet of metal... right, like that's gonna offer any protection. and then we have the classical stupidity of people - shooting with small caliber guns at the monsters, and also just standing still and not running as the world around them is about to be obliterated... and the list can go on, and on and on.
The movie was mediocre but the way they insult one's intelligence is just unforgivable. Sound was OK-ish, did not intrude that much. Cinematography was also normal, not much of the transformers shaky cam stuff.
In the end, watch this one only if you want to punish yourself for something.
