What are your thoughts on Godzilla 2000 millennium? (Aka ‪@tyrantgregcagkaiju71‬’s favorite Godzilla movie 😉😉😉😉)

A) masterpiece

B) great

C) good

D) meh

Honestly when I saw this first entry of the millennium era, I do find a pretty good start of this era especially that it does genuinely have some strong peaks to it but even it’s a good entry of the millennium era, it’s still not technically the best one of this era since it does have some few flaws but it’s still a great entry at least

For the positives

I do like Godzilla’s design in this movie since he basically feels very unique and quite badass especially that his dorsal plates are pretty cool and unique especially that his atomic breath attack is very badass since it literally takes it’s time to fire and also because I do like it’s change from blue to orange or yellow especially that his roar is straight out chef’s kiss due to how menacing and badass it is

I also really do like the cinematography in this movie especially that I did felt like the moments of when Godzilla is attacking and the people are evacuating are perfectly composited especially that the people that are running away are actually felt like they are aware that Godzilla is coming towards them along that it does show a bunch of chaos compare to the clunky evacuation shoots in the heisei era where some people are running away while some of them are just minding their own business or unaware and dont give a shit that there is a giant monster in the City especially that the moment when the godzilla vs military moment is also perfectly composited aswell

The action sequences are great and entertaining especially that I do like the final battle at the end when Godzilla fought orga and orga himself is a pretty good and unique kaiju

And I just felt like the score of this movie is very peak at times along that it truly kicks ass

And I do like how this movie basically homages other famous movies like twister for the moments of the family chasing Godzilla to gather information , independence day when the ufo lands on the City and demolished a building and I guess maybe die hard due to that some of the characters are stuck on a building

The human characters are alright, they aren’t great or memorable but they aren’t bad all though at times they can be a little unlikable at times especially that some of them kept on bickering back and foward especially with the family who worked for the Godzilla prediction who notorious kept on arguining and roosting each other like calling each other imbecil or freaks but the only character that stands among the rest is Mitsuo Katagiri, sure his character arc is a admittedly predictable but he’s definitely the best part of the movie especially that he does feel like the Japanese version of ash Williams and I really do like his yell at the end, it’s cheesy but it’s hilarious

For the negatives

Like I mentioned earlier with the characters, they sometimes can be unlikable at times especially that some of them are annoying or sometimes stupid at times like with the mother whi basically always complains and won’t shut up or the fact that she stupidly didint left the building snd just stood there before the characters rescue her and from the military blowing the building

The plot point of godzilla prediction network despite that it basically feels like the filmmakers took the idea from twister is a little cheesy in my opinion especially the fact that the characters just kept on treating Godzilla’s rampage like it’s another tuesday and once again the villain’s motivation is a little meandering since it feels very predictable

And while the film shines on it’s practical effects but the CGI does kinda ruined the film since at times it shined but at times it feels dated

Overall, it’s a good entry of the millennium era, it does have Its strongest peaks like Godzilla’s design, the soundtrack, it’s cinematography and the action sequences are great especially that orga is a cool and unique kaiju but the film sometimes suffers from having unlikable characters along with predictable and cheesy plot points like with the Godzilla prediction network and for the villain’s motivation and also for it’s usage of dated cgi

Hot take:

Honestly after finally seeing Steven Spielberg’s Schindler’s list that was released during the same year as Jurassic park and gotta be honest

Despite that I do like both of these films and they are considered Spielberg classics and the fact that Schindler’s list wasn’t as talked about compare to some popular Spielberg movies like jaws, Jurassic park or even E.T.

but I do genuinely think that Schindler’s list is literally the better of the two definitely because it’s alot more interesting and engaging, i do like the darker tone of that film along that the characters are a lot more interesting and they do have engaging arcs like with Oskar Schindler who basically risked his life to rescue the Jews from the holocaust and I do genuinely do find him alot more goated than Alan grant, I do like the black in white vibe of the film giving the felling that we are watching a black and white film along that it basically feels like it’s taking us back in time to witness the holocaust especially its cruelties on the Jews during the reign of adolf hitler especially during the Second World War

and I just do find it extremely emotional and I do remember moments that did genuinely make me cry like when the Germans are assaulting the town that the Jews are staying and the little girl with a red jacket walks around with the depressing singing along with the ending when oskar Schindler brakes down in tears that he didint save more Jews

and with the darker tone along with a depressing feel and some good character arcs just make this movie a masterpiece

What are your thoughts on Steven Spielberg’s upcoming science fiction thriller “Disclosure day”?

Honestly when the official trailer dropped, I was very impressed of this new Spielberg movie and the fact that it does feel quite promising especially that it does feel like a combination of invasion of the body snatchers and John carpenter’s they live due to that it revolved on aliens living among the people

And not only is it surprising that Steven Spielberg makes a huge comeback to direct another movie but also the famous composer “John Williams” is also coming back to compose this new thriller and seeing this duo return makes this movie even more promising and actually quite interesting

What are your thoughts on the recent scifi horror thriller titled “bugonia”? (Spoiler alert for those who haven’t seen it)

A) masterpiece or underrated

B) great

C) good

D) meh

Honestly when I saw this movie in the theaters along with my mom and a friend (who recommend me to see this movie) after finishing school during the beginning of december

And after seeing it in the theaters, I was actually really impressed with this movie especially that was notoriously surprised of how well crafted it is due to that it had a good cast of characters like the two cousins along with Michelle (and I also love how her personality when she gets shaved reminded me of Ellen Ripley in alien 3) especially that their performances are really well done along that it did a good job on it’s build up of it’s suspense and plot twist especially on it’s conspiracy idea of the cousins that Michelle is an alien or not especially that the movie basically manipulated it’s audience into believing if the cousins are making it up or they were right and the movie definitely succeeded on making this movie mysterious and suspenseful and no joke when the plot twist occurred I was notorious in complete shock of the reveal that Michelle is an alien especially that the ending when the aliens kill off the humans is notoriously downbeat it still great due to that the film is notoriously clever

And speaking of shock, the movie definitely did a good job on it’s shock value especially that it features alot of gory and brutal moments along with plot twist aswell and once again, I was notorious shocked of it’s plot twist especially that the movie definitely did a good job on it’s shock value since it did make me feel very surprised

The only criticism about the movie is that it does feature alot of weird moments that came out of nowhere or sometimes didint make sense like with the infamous black and white visions or the fact that it doesnt explain how did the cousins know about the alien’s existance and intentions

But overall, it’s easily a master crafted suspenseful thriller with some good performances from the cast, along with a good build up and suspense and it’s impressive use of shock value and those moments makes this movie a massive gem in modern cinema

(9/10)
