According to KBPS, it took 12 years for Toho Studios to release another Godzilla film. Fans are delighted that finally, the monster is back to wreck havoc in the big screens through "Godzilla Resurgence."
The adventures in "Godzilla Resurgence" started in a strange water explosion in the bay. The officials initially dismissed it as a volcanic activity. However, the next events shocked the residents as a huge creature emerged from the deep and began to create havoc.
The cabinet quickly called meetings and the officials tried to come up with a solution. Soon after, the intriguing creature began to transform into the kind that everyone recognizes as the king of the monster, Godzilla.
The "Godzilla" reboot film, which is also popular as "Shin Godzilla" in Japan presents a new plot. Per Forbes, the story is about how the government reacts to this dire situation.
Basically in "Godzilla Resurgence" the government called for meetings based on protocol. Most characters that were introduced have significant positions in the government with a resounding title before their names. It also featured the unbelievably long process of obtaining permission from a chain of commands just to open fire to the monster. The permission was denied when two civilians came into the scene.
According to Luke Y. Thompson's review for "Godzilla Resurgence," the real bad guy in the film is not the monster that people abhor but the government. The long process of communication and the countless meetings that politicians resort to in emergency situations presented in "Godzilla Resurgence" only make us question the government's efficiency.
"Godzilla Resurgence" is already open in American theaters and will be running for a week. Although the film might not be as successful in the United States as it is in Japan, reports have it that a sequel is in the works because "Godzilla Resurgence" is the highest-grossing film in the land of the rising sun for this year.
