THAN-KAIJU-GIVING: Godzilla X the Kaiju Killer (2009)

Directed by Chris Elchesyn, this is the story of the end of Earth, a planet with one human — XY-3 (Richard Jones and Danielle Ryan) — left alive and a planet filled with mutations. After a battle with the alien Mugal (Elchesyn), the cyborg soldier accidentally releases Stalkkus, a kaiju that turns on him. Only Godzilla can stop this monster.

This is a grim and gritty post-apocalyptic take on Godzilla which may not have him be the main character. For the budget, it’s an interesting movie even if the nu metal soundtrack may date it the further we get away from 2009. That’s a minor problem, however. It’s also pretty talky, but when the monsters start fighting, you’ll forget all about that.

Or maybe not, looking at some reviews. Guess some people don’t like Disturbed.
