Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters (2017)
Description
Board your space station full of despair and venture to the only animated Godzilla films with the Netflix anime trilogy! This first installment features a tree-inspired Godzilla hunted by revenge-seeking humans and aliens on a desolate Earth 20,000 years into the future... and it's about as cheery as it sounds. We talk about this trilogy's reputation and the deliberate attempts to swerve away from standard kaiju fare, its nihilistic streak from a writer nicknamed "Urobutcher", and the downside of only getting 1/3 of a Moby Dick-style story.
