Godzilla walks tall

Rating: 8/10 (16 May 2014)

This movie is the best case study (after Dark knight trilogy) of how amazing a director's perspective can change within a decade and half. No offense to Roland Emmerich, his version was a pure entertainer firing on all cylinders (some may have a different opinion on this), but the reboot has made the Roland version seem like an amateur's first documentary. Comparisons will only garner more positives for the newer version.
C-G stands out. Oh let me correct, "walks tall". Despite repeated Dejavu's of Pacific Rim, this movie has an unique impact of its own. And these action sequences are brilliantly balanced by the father-son angle along with the husband-wife angle which only makes the movie more realistic rather than just a tell-tale of how a monster ran havoc on earth.
The entire cast (notably Cranston, Wantanbe, Aaron taylor) have played their parts. No Oscar winning performances, just swimming with the tide and helping the screenplay.
The other notable fact is that Godzilla is painted as a savior rather than a destructor. Though he roars like a T-Rex and is even referred as a dinosaur (by Aaron taylor's son) his sheer volume would make any other T-Rex run away in search of shelter.
The camera crew have well complimented the C-G. Be it the HALO jump visualized through the helmet or revealing Godzilla through flares or the sequence on the railway track, the lords of the lens have proved their mettle again.
Watching it in Inox (3D) was an added bonus.
