Our take on Godzilla

Gareth Edwards's 2014 monster film reboots the giant creature for a modern blockbuster while keeping a sense of human scale. Navy bomb expert Ford Brody has barely reunited with his family in San Francisco before he is pulled to Japan to help his estranged father, and both men are drawn into a spiraling crisis as an ancient predator rises from the sea to fight malevolent adversaries that threaten humanity. The creatures leave immense destruction on their path toward a final showdown in San Francisco. Edwards favors slow-building awe and glimpsed enormity. It suits viewers who like patient, atmospheric disaster spectacle. Come for the scale, stay for the dread.
