Godzilla


Admiral William Stenz: This alpha predator of yours, doctor, do you really think he has a chance?

Dr. Ichiro Serizawa: The arrogance of men is thinking nature is in their control and not the other way around. Let them fight.

Starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Bryan Cranston
Written by Max Borenstein; story by Dave Callaham
Directed by Gareth Edwards
Plot: The notorious giant lizard monster Godzilla has a battle royale with other giant monsters - with the existence of humanity right in the middle of it all.
