one the best movies I've ever seen. the human element really shines in a godzilla movie. brings godzilla back to its roots, not as a savior/hero of earth/humanity but as an unknown terror with no motive or desire. what blows my mind is that the budget for this movie was less than 15 million dollars yet the effects are so visually striking and at times terrifying, more effective than half of 200-300 million dollar budget hollywood movies which look terrible (makes you think of how bloated and wasteful the budgets for recent marvel movies are and yet the money is not put to good use... cough cough ant man cough cough the marvels)
