Storyline:
Earth Defence Forces (EDF) had a fight with Godzilla many years ago. They trapped and buried him under thick ice in the South Pole and never to be seen again. At present, there seems to be many sudden appearances of various kinds (and shapes) of monsters all over the world, mainly Japan.

There and then, came a mysterious looking oddball UFO who claimed that they're here to restore peace to the world. They helped to save Earth by quarantining all the monsters in the world. Well enough, their intentions are discovered with the help of a dog! (WTF?!) With the sudden change of plan, they began unleashing mayhem upon Earth, releasing the monsters all over the world.

Yes, all over the world...except the EDF main base. All hope is lost...and as a last resort, they must release Godzilla from his long slumber in thick ice to restore peace! Who will win? The aliens and monsters? Or will Godzilla triumph? (duh!)


Graphics:
To be honest, the graphics in this movie are almost decent and barely modern Computer Graphics (CG). It some sort of reminds me of the good old days when Ultraman and his monters were wearing thick rubber suit that rants around in big plastic/paper-like buildings. This time around with a BIT of addition...more explosives and wires involved for the flying monsters. Expect to see total mayhem of famous buildings (such as the Opera House in Sydney).


Sound:
Soundtrack is not included into the 'sound' category. By sound, I mean the monsters' groan and the effects of buildings collapsing. Godzilla's groan is the best among the monsters because of its originality. Voice acting is good as well...but the overall acting is still bad.


Acting Quality:
What the hell? How can they hire undedicated fellow citizens to scream and runaway from the monters while they are destroying the city in the background? Choreography is at its worst. Bad fight sequences both for humans and for the monsters. It is as if the "human hero vs alien villain" scene are scripted with major flaws. I'd rather watch Wrestling from WWE. "Monster vs monster" scene are often too short at delivering total mayhem and destruction except for the final battle. Oh, not to mention that the "monsters vs monsters" scene are lame as hell.

For example..."A two against one fight event. So what? Godzilla will outsmart the monsters by avoiding their attacks, Monster A will fire at Godzilla...it misses and hits Monster B, Godzilla takes advantage and eliminates them both at once..."


Replay value:
Oh gosh, don't even remind me. Unless you're younger than an 8 year old kid who worships Godzilla, you're better off doing something else (doesn't matter if it is beneficial or not, it's still worth your time) than to catch a glimpse of the horrendous acting. It just plain suX0rz...


Conclusion:
I recommend watching this show to those who feel like they have absolutely NOTHING ELSE BETTER TO DO. This show is more likely to make you laugh throughout the 2 hours plus.

*Earlier part of the show* "This is...operation Final Wars, move out!"
*At the ending of the show* "No, the war has just begun..."

What the hell?! Is it final or has it just begun?!

Told you not to waste your time with this LOL

Well ANW looks like you wrote your review faster before I could do mine. Cool. Totally original laugh-out-loud. :P

BTW, I was really stuck with ONLY that DVD that night, which explains why I had nothing else better to watch.

Go figure.
