Product Description: Godzilla's 50th Anniversary project and costliest adventure to date out of 28 films. Earth has been relatively peaceful since Godzilla was successfully buried deep in ice beneath the South Pole. Then - sometime a few years hence-several of his old nemeses return to wreak havoc on cities worldwide. A huge spaceship suddenly appears and neutralizes all the monsters in a blink. The visitors are "Xiliens" who take human form and announce they would like to negotiate a peace treaty that would replace the United Nations with a "United Universe". They are indeed too good to be true however. It doesn't take long before their nefarious real purpose is exposed - conquering Earth. Greatly outmatched Earth officials decide to de-freeze Godzilla as man's only hope to vanish the invaders as well as the monsters they control. Only trouble is Godzilla is still mad at man for freezing him in the first place.System Requirements:Running Time: 125 Format: UMD Genre: SCI-FI/FANTASY Rating: PG-13 UPC: 043396128187 Manufacturer No: 12818
GODZILLA FINAL WARS Excellent delivery service and well packaged. I actually gave the film away as a gift. Pleased overall with this and would certainly recommend other shoppers to you.
Should have been SO much better! Godzilla: Final Wars features the green giant going up against all his former enemies - though to get to that point, one has to sit through an interminable opening hour that couldn't possibly be more dull. When the various monsters from Godzilla's past (including Rodan, Gigan, and even Roland Emmerich's Godzilla) begin simultaneously wreaking havoc, all seems hopeless - until a group of seemingly friendly aliens effortlessly take care of the problem moments after arriving on the scene. As it turns out, the aliens are - in fact - even more dangerous than the monsters, leaving the surviving humans with little choice but to revive Godzilla and send him on an abomination-killing rampage.
Given that Godzilla is almost entirely absent from at least half of Godzilla: Final Wars, it's certainly possible for the viewer to forget that they're even watching a Godzilla movie. Kitamura seems far more interested in imbuing the film with wildly over-the-top action sequences and Matrix-inspired shenanigans than offering up anything resembling a traditional Godzilla flick, which lends the proceedings a dated, unrelentingly tedious vibe.
Having said that, the battles - when they finally arrive - are admittedly quite entertaining, though they invariably wind up overstaying their welcome by going on far longer than necessary (however, it's hard not to get a kick out of the sequence that finds the old-school Godzilla dispatching the American Godzilla with a flick of the tail). But Kitamura's inexplicable need to revel in excess (there's a space battle, for crying out loud) will undoubtedly alienate Godzilla neophytes and most likely irritate even the most die-hard fans of the legendary creature.
The battle of the Millennium! I have been a Godzilla fan ever since I was a little kid, watching badly dubbed and edited versions on early morning Sunday TV. Get a couple of guys in big suits beating each other up, and I am happy as can be.
"Godzilla: Final Wars" was the first Godzilla flick I ever actually saw in a movie theater. I was living in Japan when it was released, and there was no way I was going to miss the chance to see the big green guy battling away on the big screen. Man, was it cool.
This flick is the end of the Millennium series, which was one of the best of all the Godzilla incarnations. I loved how they established some continuity, including paying homage to the original (and best) 1954 Godzilla. Modern special effects were used to enhance the man-in-suit action, without ever giving in to CGI and taking away everything that makes Godzilla cool.
Paying homage is what "Final Wars" is all about. Pretty much every big boy that Godzilla has faced down makes an appearance, with the notable exception of Mechagodzilla, who disappeared at the end of Godzilla - Tokyo S.O.S.. Even the obscure ones like Ebira get a turn on the stage before getting dispatched. Sure, some of them fall a little bit too quickly, but that is a lot of monster to pack into a 125 minute flick.
Supposedly, this was going to be the true "final" Godzilla flick, but you just can't keep a good monster down. I am looking forward to 2014, the 60th anniversary of Godzilla, when the waters will boil again and that fantastic scream will come booming out at meaning, signaling that Tokyo better watch out because some buildings are about to come tumbling down.
Not enough Godzilla Great effort to make an interesting human side to the story and the monster fights are well done and look relaly cool but it seems to drag a bit in the middle as godzilla is absent from most of the film.
It's mostly a tribute to Toho's old sci-fi flicks/I'm using my mom's account,I'm not a girl Alright when I bought this movie I was expecting a movie that had big Kaiju battles, but I was I my expectation was wrong. Instead we get the ultimate Toho tribut featuring references to the movie Gorath and Atragon. Final Wars is not a Godzilla movie, infact Godzilla is used as the last solution against the Xillians, so don't start watching this film thinking it's going to be another Godzilla movie.
The film mainly focuses on human,mutants, and of course the Xillians but the story will keep nonkaiju and Kaiju fans interested with interesting but cleary inspired by the Matrix battle scenes. Well even a little of the plot is inspired by the Matrix, but that will only bother you at first. Anyways when Godzilla finally appears he takes on all 12 monsters, but even though the battles are quick it still entertains and makes you forget about the humans for a bit. The only monster battles the last long is the battle between Godzilla and Monster X, which is pretty awesome by the way.
Anyways ways this movie is excellent film, it features tons of sci-fi elements and it also features the very cute Minilla. I bought this movie to my English class in school and it was recieved well by the students and teachers, this is defintly a movie to show to your friends, so they could start getting into Godzilla too.
