Viewing Notes

Very well done. Nice job replicating the same structure found in many Toho Godzilla films. However, the pacing here is better and even the characters are better than most of those Toho films. I won’t say more right now. I will see it again in theaters and write more notes then.

I did laugh at the moth metamorphosis poster in the Japanese classroom. Noticed Akira Takarada is still listed in the credits but did not see him in the film (reported that his scene was cut).
