Godzilla: Final Wars (2004)
Godzilla's 50th Anniversary project and costliest adventure to date out
of 28 films. Earth has been relatively peaceful since Godzilla was
successfully buried deep in ice beneath the South Pole. Then --
sometime a few years hence - several of his old nemeses return to wreak
havoc on cities worldwide. A huge spaceship suddenly appears and
neutralizes all the monsters in a blink. The visitors are "Xiliens,"
who take human form and announce they would like to negotiate a peace
treaty that would replace the United Nations with a "United Universe."
They are indeed too good to be true, however. It doesn't take long
before their nefarious real purpose is exposed - conquering Earth.
Greatly outmatched, Earth officials decide to de-freeze Godzilla as
man's only hope to vanish the invaders, as well as the monsters they
control. Only trouble is Godzilla is still mad at man for freezing him
in the first place.
Godzilla: Final Wars has a run time of approximately 125 minutes and is
rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence.
