About
You may like this if you want a tense monster movie with political satire and a strong disaster feel; Not for you if you mainly want nonstop action, since it spends a lot of time on meetings and response efforts, like Godzilla Minus One or The Return of Godzilla.
Pros: tense disaster mood; bold political satire; striking monster design | Cons: lots of conference-room talk; uneven computer effects; slow for action fans
