Beschreibung

The crypto-zoological agency Monarch faces 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.The new story 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 superspecies, thought to be mere myths, rise again, they all vie for supremacy, leaving humanity's very existence hanging in the balance.As the world is still recovering from the fact that monsters exist, they face a new threat: the return of the Titans. Now the crypto-zoological agency Monarch has only one chance to stop them: let Godzilla fight it out as the whole world itself will tremble as it watches Mothra, Rodan, Ghidorah, and Godzilla fight for the title King of the MonstersFive quiet years after the first sighting of the MUTOs and the catastrophic events that nearly levelled San Francisco in Godzilla (2014), Dr Emma Russell's powerful bio-acoustics generator, the Orca, triggers a worldwide awakening of the Hollow Earth's Titans. As the ancient long-dormant giants resurface one by one, the radical eco-terrorist, Colonel Alan Jonah, gets his hands on the audio device, hell-bent on restoring nature's balance; however, what started as a dangerous but logical theory, now threatens to obliterate the entire human species. As a result, the ultimate Kaiju and King of Monsters, Godzilla, has to do battle with an omnipotent lightning-spitting challenger for the title: the three-headed Monster Zero, Ghidorah. Is Godzilla humankind's defender or its enemy? - Godzilla (2014)

Verrücktes

Godzilla, Ghidorah, Mothra and Rodan are credited as themselves.SPOILER: There is a scene at the end of the closing credits: Alan Jonah and his team purchase one of King Ghidorah's severed heads.There is a dedication at the end of the closing credits to two "Godzilla" veteran crew members, producer Yoshimitsu Banno and actor Haruo Nakajima.The Warner Brothers and Legendary Pictures logos appear in an ancient carving of monsters. During their appearance, Godzilla's stomping and roar is heard, which also happened in Godzilla - Das Original (1954) and Shin Godzilla (2016).The title doesn't appear until the end of the movie.SPOILER: Part of the closing credits are a montage of Monarch records alongside news records covering the aftermath of the Titans' rising. Near the end of the credits, there are various records focusing on Skull Island, Kong's home; this leads into Godzilla vs. Kong (2020).

Fehler

Anachronisms

In the ancient undersea temple, there is an engraving of Godzilla, and next to it is its name in modern Japanese script.

Anachronisms

On the touch screen guide to the locations of the Titans, the Titan in Australia is listed as being located at Ayers Rock. The name was officially changed to Uluru in 2002. The name comes from the Pitjantjatjara Anangu, the Aboriginal people of the area who are the traditional landowners of Uluru.

Character error

Stanton claims that homo sapiens are carnivores. However, all hominids are omnivores.

Character error

The concept of "Alpha of the Titans" relies on the theory of "Alphas" in wolf packs, with the Monarch scientists explicitly referencing said theory, despite it being debunked about 20 years before the film's release (by the same scientist that originally proposed it, no less!). That said, the idea could still work in terms of the Titans, since the old idea of "Alphas" can form amongst unrelated individuals forced into a pack, which is basically what is happening here (although a scientist referencing this idea straight still falls under artistic license).

Continuity

When Monster Zero is standing victorious over the Mexican city, a traffic light changes from red to yellow.

Crew or equipment visible

The 50-second teaser trailer video shows Madison, listening to a radio at what looks like an underground bunker. She recoils in fear as she begins to hear Godzilla's iconic growl. At around the 30-second mark in the clip, the camera pulls out into a wide shot, which reveals another camera behind her. The rogue camera comes closer and for a moment, occupies a large chunk of the shot. Not only is the camera easy to spot, it's a major error on the part of the Godzilla marketing team.

Errors in geography

At one point, Maddie runs from Fenway all the way to the northeast end of the Boston Common in less time than it would take a professional marathoner.

Errors in geography

The oil derrick-covered dusty plains that Scylla emerges from, is stated to located at Sedona, Arizona, despite, actually resembling West Texas than the oil-free red rock mountains actually found there.

Errors in geography

The fictional Isla de Mara, geographically placed at the border between Texas and Tamaulipas, is too far North to exhibit the kind of tightly-packed, colonial Spanish architecture shown in the film. This type of urban layout and construction is more appropriate to colonial towns in Central and Southern Mexico. (To wit, street-level scenes were in fact shot in the preserved historical district of Santo Domingo in Mexico City.)

Errors in geography

When there is a pan out of Fenway Park you can see The Charles River, on the river is a navy destroyer, there is no way to get a ship that large all the way down the river to that area, all bridges are to low and the locks at the Museum of Science are to small.

Errors in geography

Godzilla makes landfall from the Charles River. But one in-between shot shows him stepping out of the Boston Bay at the Financial District, several miles East, with the Monarch fleet in tow. (There's also the issue of Godzilla having to take a circuitous route to navigate the Charles, which is too shallow to accommodate a creature of his girth, instead of just stomping into town directly from the ocean.)

Errors in geography

The location of Skull Island shown on MONARCH's big map (somewhere far south and somewhat east of Hawaii) makes absolutely no sense considering a dogfight happened there between an American and a Japanese pilot in 1944.

Factual errors

Submarines cannot use GPS for deep water navigation.

Factual errors

It was stated that Washington, DC was being hit by a category 6 hurricane. The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale only goes to category 5; no matter how strong, a hurricane couldn't be a category 6.

Factual errors

The idea that radiation can generate new growth in barren landscapes or lead to a resurgence in the populations of endangered species. While it is true that radiation can spur the evolutionary process by increasing DNA mutation rates, this is only feasible at fairly low rates of continuous exposure (such as a small percentage increase in UV rays due to ozone depletion). The kind of radiation that Godzilla and the other Titans pump out would only serve to give most ecosystems harmful acute radiation exposure, given that biological processes that run on radiation is dubious at best, it makes more sense, as the Titans absorbing "bad" radiation, processing it in their systems and excreting it as "helpful" waste radiation.

Factual errors

Mothra is able to grow up and lay an egg within the span of two days. While one could argue she had grown within the egg due to how long she was in it, this doesn't excuse how long it took her to create an egg within a day.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs

This movie states that Ghidorah is a fairly recent discovery thus Monarch has had little time to study him. Except that the post-credit scene in Kong: Skull Island, set in 1973, shows that Monarch knows about him along with Godzilla, Rodan, and Mothra. However, this was simply a cave painting that offered a physical description of Ghidorah and not much else, Ghidorah himself was discovered by Monarch in 2016 frozen in ice.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs

Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan and the other Titans are classified under the genus "Titanus". In reality, the genus is reserved for a group of very closely related species (lions, tigers and leopards), so seeing arthropods, reptiles, mammals and cephalopods all lumped together into such a specific group makes no sense, however it could be interpreted as a code-name and not as a strict scientific name.

Factual errors

The monsters are stopped by transmitting the Alpha Call over the loudspeakers at Fenway Park in Boston. Allowing for the speed of sound, it should have been hours before many of them heard it, but they all stopped at once.

Plot holes

Godzilla's Big Damn Heroes moment to save Madison from Ghidorah looks awesome, but he somehow hit a direct blast at him from some distance away? How far away can he use it effectively? And why not just fight Ghidorah from a distance, perhaps try to incapacitate him with his atomic breath from further away before moving in for the kill? Godzilla can fire from quite a distance (we don't know his max), but unless its a surprise attack then the further away he fires from the bigger the chance his opponent can just move out of the way (amounting to a vast waste of energy for Godzilla). And as we saw in their first fight, Ghidorah is quite capable of dodging if he sees the attack coming.
