Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for sci-fi fans, action fans and animation lovers. If you loved Pacific Rim or Godzilla vs. Kong, start here.
The mood
Feel-good.
The pace
Fast-moving, at 1 hr 31 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG: scary moments. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
  • It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

With no means for defeating Godzilla Earth, mankind watches as King Ghidorah, clad in a golden light, descends on the planet. The heavens and earth shake once again as the war moves to a higher dimension.
