Fun enough but there are better Godzilla films
Takao Okawara’s GODZILLA 2000 is the first film in the Millennium series of Godzilla flicks. This particular sequence of films generally ignores all other Godzilla tales except for the original from ’54. With one exception, they’re a series of standalones. While I found this one to be a middle of the pack Kaiju flick, it does have a few elements that make it memorable. We basically follow a group of people who are kind of like storm chasers, except they follow Godzilla. Think TWISTER except with a giant lizard instead of tornadoes. There are also some supporting characters who are representatives of the governmental bureaucracy and are rivals to our Godzilla chasers. When a mysterious sixty million year old rock is brought up from the seafloor, it soon reveals itself as an ancient spacecraft from another galaxy. This alien intelligence seeks to terraform the Earth so it can take over as the new dominant life form. It sees Godzilla as its only problem and eventually creates a deformed regenerating clone of Big G. What’s good? While not a comedy, there’s a certain amount of humor employed by our human characters. Thankfully, it doesn’t arrive from campiness, either. Godzilla’s design is cool and menacing, and the man-in-suit city stomping, as always, is great. I’ll never be less than impressed by Toho’s miniature sets. Also, the ending is memorably downbeat. I’d say the weaknesses of the film are the dodgy CGI, the spaceship that ends up looking like a bedpan once its freed from its rocky coating, and the fairly forgettable monster that only shows up with about twenty minutes left in the runtime. GODZILLA 2000 from director Takao Okawara takes a few risks but mostly sticks to formula. There are much better films in the Millennium series but, as with pretty much all Godzilla films, there’s still some fun to be had. My son and I are over twenty films now in our Kaiju marathon and I’d probably place this one somewhere in the bottom half.
