Skip it—this anime Godzilla trilogy opener is a visually ambitious but narratively muddled slog that prioritizes CGI spectacle over compelling storytelling. Unless you're a hardcore kaiju completist or anime devotee, you'll find the glacial pacing and forgettable characters make this a tough sell for a casual movie night.

Plot

A desperate group of refugees attempts to recolonize Earth 20,000 years after Godzilla took over. But one young man wants revenge above all else.
