Godzilla's home island
has been destroyed - Little Godzilla is missing but
Godzilla himself is on the rampage and something is
clearly very wrong. He's glowing an alarming bright red
and scientists soon realise that the nuclear energy
inside him is running out of control - Godzilla is
threatening to meltdown, taking the whole world with him.
As the authorities struggle to contain him, a new threat
appears - a horde of creatures created from a combination
of Godzilla cells and the oxygen-destroyer weapon that
killed the original Godzilla have risen from Tokyo Bay
and are attacking the city... CAPSULE REVIEW
After the disastrous Gojira vs Supesugojira (1994), this was a breath of
fresh air. The final scenes are remarkably poignant (true
fans will never be able to watch it with dry eyes!), the
battle scenes are wonderful and the human cast more than
hold their own against the monsters. A fitting climax to
the heisei series that restores Godzilla to its
destructive best before bringing the series to a
respectful end. AVAILABILITY
