Godzilla, Science Fiction and Anime? Yes please.

 Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters Part 1 is a 2017 Japanese computer-animated science fiction kaiju film, and was released on Netflix. I must admit I feel both out of my comfort zone and also at home at the same time. I have tried over the last few years to watch some Anime, and really didn’t know where to start with it. On the other hand, I am quite fond of Godzilla, so what a time for me to get me involved in the action. Why Anime? well, it looks beautiful and I have heard from others online that the stories are amazing and well crafted. I started to watch Attack on Titan, which was enjoyable but was a little hard to understand. I enjoyed both The Matrix and Blade Runner’s short-animated movies which are extremely stylish and fun. I really enjoyed the Godzilla, 98 and it brought back some memories back to those early Godzilla films that I used to watch as a child.

I am not sure if this version of the story had been told before, but from the opening scene, I knew I was going to really enjoy this film. I will be giving you some details but also be leaving out enough information that you will need to go and find out what it’s about. The film starts in space, and the visuals and colours are breath-taking. The story arc starts with our main character, Captain locked in his shuttle on a landing Bay. He is threatening to blow the shuttle up If the main ship’s committee doesn’t cancel the launch. Meanwhile, another shuttle is full of elderly people, who are currently being sent to their demise on an uninhabitable planet. The inhabitants of the ship are from Earth and have been looking for a new home after they fled from Godzilla.

After twenty years of unsuccessfully searching for a habitable planet, they realise it’s time to go back to Earth and fight for their original birthplace. There is a wonderful scene in the film, when our main characters get back to Earth. Captain Harou notices that flowers and grass now bloom a heavily radioactive landscape. The planet has remembered mankind, and his friend Metphies and Exif Priest. The foliage reminds him that this is their mother Earth after all. This instantly reminds me of how we treat our Planet on a daily basis. Maybe we should start learning how to treat it a little better, and that scene touched me. Godzilla, so, what can I say about him? I am going to keep quiet on that front, but I will say he looks as menacing as ever. The animation in this movie took me back to The Lord of the Rings animated film.

I am going to give this movie a 10/10. If you like science-fiction, anime, and Godzilla, you are on to something good with this. Even if you are not a fan of one of these genres, you will still find something very rewarding in this film. I’m sure a few movie studios in Hollywood will be keeping an eye on this one. I could easily see this making the transaction to a blockbuster movie. Tonight I will be getting back into Attack on Titan. This movie has definitely made me want to watch some classic Godzilla movies again. If you are looking for something new, fun and well-written, then I would recommend this any day of the week. .
