When Star Trek meets Godzilla.

The taste of Trek, this story actually throws away the elements of the earth. It just says that a spaceship full of various races inadvertently encounters Godzilla when exploring a suitable planet and finally conspires to kill him, but it turns out that With more monsters, a story like this would be a Star Trek story. Among the humanoid races, those with braids resembled Vulcans, and the ones with fiercer lengths were Krigan. So this film can be regarded as an exploration of the Star Trek genre by Japanese animators. One of my big impressions of this film is that it is very serious. There is only one female character in all the characters, and the rest are all male. At any rate, most of the audience of this film are otaku (including me), and there are too few female characters! Are you going to just let us go to cute sci-fi settings and muscle monsters? ! Of course, the sci-fi mechanical setting of this film is also good. There are spaceship mechas. This film sets Godzilla as the scourge of the earth, and adds mechanical settings. I remember that there is also a mechanical Godzilla. All in all, and the muscles on the body are quite sexy, but the dorsal fin looks a little out of place. This time, Godzilla is also described as a civilization destroyer. I think it is more like a civilization detector, and in fact the earth and the other two waves of aliens have failed. The plot of the film is a little strange. After Godzilla appeared, a group of aliens suddenly appeared and said to help the earthlings. As a result, the three races have not yet fought together, and then they escaped collectively for 22 years, but finally decided to return to Earth. Just went back instead of spending 22 years, has this technology not to send Godzilla out? And the earth has passed for more than 20,000 years at once, and the inexplicable moving of the actor is too funny. "The earth has not forgotten human beings." Believe in Gaia. Moreover, the decision-making of the entire fleet is also seriously problematic. It actually planned to use about one-seventh of all the population at that time, and all the elites were fighting to fight a war that may not be won. This is like the world now decides to sacrifice 600 million elites to fight Like hitting the sun. As a result, the ending is also very old and empty, and I worked for a long time for nothing, hahaha, but I am also looking forward to the second part. I still have the same view as before. Now only Japan is still making this kind of long and hard-core two-dimensional animated film. Similar themes in Hollywood are mostly 2D superheroes and the like, and they are basically dominated by the DC family, because similar projects let Hollywood shoot real people. Godzilla has been shooting movies for so many years. I remember that Godzilla's theme at the beginning was the environmental theme of anti-nuclear and anti-pollution, and now it is basically similar to superhero movies, but And Godzilla also began to move closer to the positive image of saving the earth in the later period. It feels like Godzilla is set to actually come to the earth from the destroyed brother star and become stronger after being irradiated by the sun to protect human beings. . . Personally, I still really want Godzilla and Superman to play against each other. A seemingly small Superman with a floating cloak looks at Godzilla in mid-air, and heat rays fight against lasers.

Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters quotes

  • Haruo Sakaki: You bastard, I have... killed you!

    [fires at Godzilla]

  • Martin Lazzari: You've accomplished it, Captain.

    Haruo Sakaki: Because everyone believed in and supported me. I could be so daring and get this far. Even though we defeated it... What was it, really? How was it able to live for 20,000 years?

    Martin Lazzari: This is just my opinion, but I think this is a different Godzilla than the one that drove us from Earth.

    Haruo Sakaki: But its appearance and abilities were almost identical.

    Martin Lazzari: And that's why exactly why. Life's true nature is found in change. No matter how gradual the renewal cycle may be, it's impossible to maintain the exact same appearance. So this only may be an offspring that inherited Godzilla's form and nature. Such a guess would actually be the most natural. Although the question remains of why there was only this one. Also...

    Haruo Sakaki: So, there's no guarantee only one of them survived.

    Martin Lazzari: I apologize if what I'm saying spoils the victory, but that is correct.

    Haruo Sakaki: That's fine. Thanks to this battle, we proved that we can defeat Godzilla. Even if another one shows up, we have nothing to fear. Since we've established a valid strategy, we can be more effective next time.

    Martin Lazzari: Personally, I would never want to cross a tightrope like that ever again, though.
