I had not seen a Godzilla movie since the 1970s, so I was surprised by the use of miniatures and rubber suits. Check out the extreme widescreen, which is great for subtitles.

Don’t buy this movie thinking you’re getting “Star Wars.” It’s a B movie. If you keep that in mind, you will enjoy it. The Dolby Digital is great during the Godzilla battles.

I admit I saw Yumiko Shako in “The Princess Blade” before I bought Godzilla, so I was hoping for at least one bikini scene. Maybe next time.

Misato Tanaka, the star of “Godzilla vs. Megaguirus,” gets a pretty long cameo as a nurse in this movie.

The movie moves along pretty quickly without a lot of baloney. I thought the subtitles would be more accurate because this is the domestic version. The English dub adds some jokes and changes the dialogue (Dr. Tokumitsu Yuhara says, “Like her mother” in Japanese when referring to Sara Yuhara’s plant. In the English dub, he says, “It’s like her baby.”)

I mustn't run away.

You would think they could find a voice actor who sounds like a 7-year-old to play Sara. As usual, the Japanese audio track is better.

Just so you know, there are such things as masers (microwave amplification by stimulated emission of radiation), but why not use lasers?
