Godzilla: City on the Edge of Battle (2018)

While the mothership searches the battlefield for survivors after the first battle, Sakaki discovers something unexpected on the planet's surface. His plans to take the world for humanity aren't completely beaten yet.

Visually it's as bland as before, with 30 shades of blue and not much else, but for a time the story is more interesting - if you can cope with all the made up science. Alas, once thunder-thighs comes on the scene it all falls apart. Too often we learn about what's happening from prosaic people talking about a situation, instead of showing us what's actually happening. Godzilla is rarely seen, and when it is onscreen it's lumbering and lacks any kind of wow factor. The commentary on evolution and degeneration had potential, but ultimately anything interesting gets pushed aside so that a CGI battle can happen.
