a more modern version from not only the script and story but also the sets, world and godzilla himself.
the characters are fine and overall it is a decent start to a new era.
godzilla's decent is gas tho, whoever made that should get a purple heart.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A taut Cold War thriller wrapped around a nuclear nightmare, where the real monster isn't always the one you can see. Political paranoia and atomic terror collide as competing superpowers threaten to annihilate Japan rather than let Godzilla rampage unchecked.
