Godzilla gets rebooted for the 80s! The first film in the Heisei era is a lot of things: a sequel to the original, a bit of a remake, sometimes a horror movie with mummified corpses, sometimes a political Cold War drama, sometimes a disaster movie with a plucky journalist, sometimes a fantastical sci-fi with a hovering supership, and constantly an experiment in innovation and animatronics that doesn't always succeed, but is interesting nevertheless.
