Shin Godzilla will have a limited North American theatrical engagement on October 11–18.
Godzilla movies have changed a lot over the years. Shin Godzilla, the 31st Godzilla film (and the 29th by original Gojira production house Toho Pictures), has more in common with the original than the most recent before it, Gareth Edwards’ 2014 movie titled simply Godzilla. That’s definitely a good thing.
The original 1954 Godzilla, though primitive, still holds up for its poignant allegory of nuclear armament and the personal responsibility of those involved with the creation of the nuclear bomb. The 2014 Godzilla was a dopey action flick that had no deeper meaning or metaphor beyond typical brainless schlock about family and duty.
If your main complaint with the 2014 Godzilla was the monster’s lack of screentime, you won’t be much happier with Shin Godzilla. But if your chief criticisms of the last Godzilla movie were its nonsensical plot, cardboard characters and lack of any reasonable motivation for all involved, then Shin Godzilla might be more your flavor of giant monster movie.
Shin Godzilla provides a new origin for the legendary kaiju, establishing its own unique style while taking inspiration from the classics in all the right ways. Some fans might be disappointed by the monster’s lack of screentime or confused by the complex bureaucracies at the film’s center, but it all comes together by the end.
