Since the previous more than a decade, we have had to face the fact that the previous mega budget Godzilla movie, directed by Roland Emmerich in 1998, failed to meet the expectations of the fans, but this May, that streak will at last finish. Director Gareth Edwards, who suddenly started his career in Hollywood a few Years ago with the highly admired low budget sci-fi movie “Monsters”, is at last bringing the cinema’s iconic creature back. Everything we have watched regarding it until now has given us extreme optimisms for what he has made, togethER with the brand new footage that was presented at CinemaCon.
Film opens in plant with actress Juliette Binoche wearing a biohazard outfit to examine a breach, while the “Breaking Bad” star Bryan Cranston examining some images AND finding out something is badly erroneous. He struggles to assist Binoche, but fails. He reaches a lobby which is swiftly filling with a poisonous gas, and with tears in his eyes he shuts the door so as to save his life as well as lives of rest of people – most probably letting Binoche die.
After watching thrilling scenes in trailer – including speech of Joe (Bryan Cranston) regarding the reality being concealed from the people, “Inception” star Ken Watanabe telling the egotism of humans, and different scenes of obliteration. The next relatively long sequence started on the beach where a damsel was looking at the sea. Surprisingly, the waves become gigantic and terror spreads around as alarms go on. Then we watch a gigantic tsunami in between skyscrapers, with citizens getting frightened, running over vehicles and bawling. When the city is completely drowned under water, a man on top of a building fires flare, and exactly at that moment we see the chest of the Godzilla.
From there the footage includes some scenes that we have already watched in trailer, including the airplane jump. But, Godzilla was still not shown clearly – just like in all of the marketing content until now – but the last scene did include the Godzilla roaring behind a smoke cloud.
The footage for Godzilla didn’t show any new thing as compared to other movies at CinemaCon, but it still is one of most anticipated films of the year. If it is able to successfully offer all the aspects that fans are expecting, it can turn out to be one of the highest grossing films ever.
