Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOriginally, the movie was over three hours long, however it was cut down to one hour and fifty-eight minutes in length. Elements of the movie's extended plot that didn't make it into the final cut can be found within the movie's novelization. They include James Conrad's (Tom Hiddleston's) encounter with a giant snake, and an extended fight sequence between Marlow (John C. Reilly) and Gunpei Ikari (Miyavi).
- GoofsThe establishing shot of the Athena shows a CH-47 Chinook helicopter on the bow, four UH-1 Hueys amidships, and one CH-53 Sea Stallion on the stern. In the helicopter battle with Kong later, at least 10 Hueys are shown.
- Quotes
Hank Marlow: Hey, what happened with the war? Did we win?
James Conrad: Which one?
Hank Marlow: Uh-huh. That makes sense.
- Crazy creditsSPOILER: There is a scene after the closing credits: Brooks and Lin meet Conrad and Weaver and show them records that indicate other monsters existing on Earth; the monsters seen are Rodan, Mothra, King Ghidorah and Godzilla. The scene ends with Godzilla's roar. This leads into Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019).

Very cool
This is a really cool movie! It's not deep or complex, but it's visually great and a lot of fun.
