Viewing Notes

Another Godzilla film I haven’t seen since I was a child. Not sure why I haven’t dug into this one like the two films before and after it because this one is so much better than those. It’s more like an outer space invasion / intrigue flick rather than kaiju. It’s more like the monsters are there as a device to drive the hostile alien takeover. I’m already looking forward to revisiting during my Godzilla rewatch project so I can place in its proper context.
