“Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla” is a title that might suggest that the makers of the “Godzilla” films are running out of ideas but I have to say that I enjoyed this one quite a lot. It’s got a few slow moments but there is enough entertaining content to make this a really good outing for everybody’s favourite giant monster from Japan.

While some humans seek to destroy Godzilla, others want to control him. However, the Earth soon faces an even greater threat with the arrival of SpaceGodzilla, a monster spawned from Godzilla’s particles in space. SpaceGodzilla kidnaps Godzilla Jr. and begins attacking Japan. The robot Mogera will need to join forces with Godzilla if they are to defeat this new foe.

The humans in this film are moderately interested and one of them that has telepathic powers. Godzilla looks great in the Heisei era films and this one is no exception. While perhaps not one of the absolute best Godzilla enemies, SpaceGodzilla is still pretty impressive. When he flies around, he looks like he has Superman’s Fortress of Solitude on his back. Godzilla Jr. looks a lot better than he did in the Showa era movies. Mogera is okay but I cannot help but feel that he comes across as a lesser version of Mechagodzilla.

If you want to see a good clash between some giant monsters then “Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla” is a fine addition to the “Godzilla” series. This one seems to be a little underrated and that is a shame. Maybe it’s because SpaceGodzilla is not one of the classic Godzilla villains (such as King Ghidorah and Gigan). The action scenes are obviously ridiculous but they are very fun and the special effects are great for this type of movie. If you have not seen this one then it’s worth checking out.
