Overview

Follows the heroic efforts of the crypto-zoological agency Monarch as its members face off against a battery of god-sized monsters, including the mighty Godzilla, who collides with Mothra, Rodan, and his ultimate nemesis, the three-headed King Ghidorah. When these ancient super-species, thought to be mere myths, rise again, they all vie for supremacy, leaving humanity's very existence hanging in the balance. Wikipedia ↗

About the Film

Godzilla: King of the Monsters is a 2019 American monster film directed by Michael Dougherty, the sequel to the 2014 Godzilla and the third film in the MonsterVerse. Emma Russell, played by Vera Farmiga, uses a device called the ORCA to awaken the three-headed King Ghidorah — Godzilla's ancient rival — believing the Titans' return will restore ecological balance. Her estranged husband Mark, played by Kyle Chandler, and their daughter Madison, played by Millie Bobby Brown, must stop the plan before the Titans destroy civilization.

The film delivered on its promise of massive monster battles on a scale the MonsterVerse had only hinted at — Godzilla versus King Ghidorah across multiple continents, Mothra and Rodan joining the conflict, and a climactic Boston showdown were spectacular in their scope. Bear McCreary's thunderous score incorporated Akira Ifukube's classic Godzilla theme. The film earned $386 million worldwide on a $170 million budget.
