Godzilla: Final Wars is a Japanese Science fiction Kaiju film directed by Ryuhei Kitamura. In Antarctica in the 1960s, Godzilla is locked in the ice after a battle with Gotengo original. Decades later, the environmental disaster causes the appearance of giant monsters and super humans, called 'mutations', who are then recruited into the Earth Defense Force ( EDF) to fight the monsters.
This 50th anniversary grand finale to the long-running series is a rush of explosive excitement that pays homage to what came before but hypes it up into a kinetic brew that feels fresh and exciting %u2014 not an obituary-like coda but a glorious send-off
... a blithely campy, altogether good-natured love letter to the classic Godzilla films of the 1960s and 1970s directed by... Japan's adolescent action stylist.
This final film offers a lot of sound and fury and weaves fourteen copyright Toho monsters into one plot, but the film offers nothing that is both new and of interest. The plot is a re-tread of that of DESTROY ALL MONSTERS.

This 28th entry in Toho Studio's series about the fire-breathing big fella is campily engaging for a while, but at two hours-plus you may come out feeling captivated dead.
