Godzilla vs. Megaguirus


***
 ゴジラ × メガギラス G消滅作戦
Big G takes on Big D, a giant mutated dragonfly named Megaguirus thanks to "experimental plasma energy source". Japan parted ways with nuclear in 1996, adopting plan to adapt to growing need for energy by approaching plasma as an alternative before eventually "going clean" eventually in 2000. Soon Tokyo is buried almost underwater with its structural integrity yet again challenged by Godzilla, attracted to energy that shouldn't exist in a "clean energy" Japan. Yeah, secret government projects still fooling around with that "no-no energy". A military force and scientific genius will try to envelope Big G with a satellite-tech creating Black Hole device! Just get rid of Godzilla, the damned giant lizard nuisance. But, first, allow Godzilla to rid Tokyo of Megaguirus. Megaguirus has a feeding tail that looks to suck nuclear from Godzilla! An island gets a big face-off between Godzilla and a swarm of smaller Megaguirus, each individually draining him of nuclear. When the Black Hole device doesn't work the first time on the island, Godzilla gathers up it's nuclear force to incinerate many of the swarm before setting sights on Tokyo. Misato Tanaka is the major often in charge of a plane that sees a lot of up close action, sometimes too close for comfort. Her flirty love interest is robotics/computer programming wiz, Shosuke Tanihara. Masatoh Eve is in charge of the Black Hole project which, ironically, opens a wormhole momentarily allowing a prehistoric dragonfly to deposit the egg a boy finds that settles in water eventually flooding Tokyo. As a battle-monsters Kaiju entertainment, GvM turns out surprisingly cool. The shockwave wings of Megaguirus cause buildings to explode and collapse while they also sever structures as well! Its tail clamps on inappropriate places that should make many a viewer squirm but Big G always takes a licking but keeps on retaliating as only he can. Michiru Oshima gives a big, blustery majestic score to the film, stirring up the goosebumps with its rousing imperial sound.
