Jaw-dropping visual effects, CGI and monster fights

Rating: 6/10 (17 May 2014)

The visual effects and CGI in this film are so damn unbelievably jaw- dropping. It's hard to believe how advanced the technology has become. If you are a tech-savvy guy who loved CGI and gigantic creatures in movies such as Pacific Rim, this one is for you. And if you love disaster movies, again this one is not to be missed. This is not your typical Roland Emmerich disaster movie like 1998's Godzilla, 2012, The Day After Tomorrow etc, which don't let you take anything serious. This is a disaster movie where you really feel the survival horror and atmosphere. As someone said it's like "The Dark Knight" of disaster movies. Special credit to the director and team responsible of creating Godzilla and the two other monsters. They are so gigantic, so terrifying, I don't have words to put it. For once it reminded me those terrifying gigantic creatures from "The Mist", as well as the gigantic monsters from the director's previous film "Monsters". And the monsters' fights are so perfectly executed. Though one department where the film was a little disappointing was the story/plot, that's why 2 missing stars.
