Godzilla 4K 2014

In 2014, the legendary monster returned to the big screens again - Godzilla once again got out of the ocean to show who the big boss is. True, the return of the lizard-like monster caused many negative impressions - people were waiting for the action and the battle of the titans, but got a story about soldiers who run and swarm under the feet of the monsters. Frankly, I didn't appreciate the film at first, but when I watched it again, I liked it much more.

I don't think it makes sense to dwell on the plot in a monster movie, so let's move on to more important things. First, Godzilla boasts stunning visuals. This cannot be taken away from the picture, it looks great, the staging is insanely pleasing, and some scenes are built so perfectly that you catch an aesthetic orgasm. Plus 'Godzilla' plays well on the difference in scale - the film constantly makes it clear how monstrously huge the local monsters are, and how defenseless people are compared to them. These scenes are mesmerizing and frightening at the same time, and it's very cool.

Monsters are also shown enough. Yes, sometimes the director goes for tricks, hiding the collision of giants, then behind the closing doors behind the fleeing heroes, showing only individual parts of the bodies of the monsters. However, this was done for one purpose - to show. what an attack by monsters would look like through the eyes of ordinary people, if it were in real life. But the final battle is insanely good - Godzilla diverges to the maximum, showing even his legendary 'atomic breath'. The monsters here are, in principle, beautiful, this also applies to our tailed handsome man, and his opponents - a couple of GNNUSov. I don't know how canonical they are in Godzilla's lore, but the film even tried to explain some of the behavioral features of the creatures from the point of view of biology, and for this the tape gets another plus sign.

A dubious decision was to take Aaron Taylor-Johnson for the main role - the entire film, the former Kick-Ass ran with the same stone face, and his character is an ordinary cardboard, completely uninteresting. But on the other hand, the roles of the second magnitude are occupied by very colorful people - here and Elizabeth Olsen, and Brian Cranston, and Ken Watanabe.

Overall, 2014's Godzilla is a good movie. It's fun to watch, the design of the monsters is insanely cool, and the gorgeous visual component will not let you take your eyes off the screen. I recommend.
