Its ****ing fantastic.
Great political thriller (despite some messaging I'm not sure about). Godzilla looks cool as **** in it. The destruction scenes are awesome on their own but the wider context of the film makes them feel exceptionally real and horrifying. Nice comedic relief with the chain of command jokes an the americans cracked me up too but I'm not sure how much of that typecasting was ironical. Good ****.
