Review of Shin Godzilla

Shin Godzilla (2016)
9/10
This is the best Godzilla movie. By far.

A Godzilla movie made by the man behind Neon Genesis Evangelion??!! Yes please!

This is a very different kind of Godzilla film. It focuses more on the goverment's response to the threat than on destruction. The movie is mostly dialogue delivered quickly and elegantly, almost like an Aaron Sorkin film. The strange camera angles, angelic soundtrack and purposely jarring editing reminded me a lot of Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Godzilla itself is terrifying. He's slow and expressionless. He's new design and and constantly vacant stare definitely based on the Frilled Shark. His atomic breath is quiet, almost silent, but the amount of destruction it causes literally made my jaw drop.
