"The myths are real. There was a war. And they're the last ones standing." – Ilene Andrews

Why watch this? This is the BIG ONE! The Battle Royale! East vs. West. Alpha vs. Alpha!

Plot Summary: Without provocation, Godzilla's sudden aggression prompts humanity to seek help from King Kong. An expedition featuring Kong and his protectors journeys into the Hollow Earth, a hidden realm where they seek a power source to stop Godzilla. As they delve deeper into the mysteries surrounding the Titans' origins, the two colossal creatures eventually come face-to-face in an epic showdown.

  Dad's Preview: The presence of humans in this film is really a distraction. They buzz around like ants, just wasting their (and our) time, frankly. That said, the monster moments, and their bombastically epic battles, are FREAKIN' AWESOME! CGI capabilities are almost flawless. As a true fan of Toho's original King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962), I can testify that this movie, though vastly different, successfully captures the spirit of that classic Kaiju battle extraordinaire.
