Still amazing after 5 years

Rating: 9/10 (22 June 2019)

The audio!!! It's worth it just for this experience alone, especially when the MUTO is near the railway bridge. They did an incredible job of making the monsters sound massive and loud. But when Godzilla finally appears (definitely an intentional tease for half the film and worth it) the realism is astounding.
The story, well it's alright I guess. There's clearly a hint towards our obscene misuse of nuclear power and the waste it produces. But it's still better than a lot of monster movies. I'm not how the protagonist survives though. That's probably the most unlikely part of it all.
This is, in my opinion, the Pinacle of all gigantic monster movies and absolutely the best Godzilla movie so far. Hopefully the new one doesn't stray from this format and gives us the same suspense. I haven't seen King of Monsters yet so I'll wait to review that.
But this. Oh my! Watch it in the dark, CRANK UP THE SURROUND SOUND, and enjoy the edge of your seat suspense and epic fights.
