Japan creates an artificial black hole device to trap Godzilla forever, but a test of the device creates new foes for Godzilla, car-sized dragonflies called meganula and their queen, Megaguirus.

With all of these Godzilla movies in my immediate future, I was recently asked ‘Will you ever be able to look at a reptile again without breaking out in a sweat?’ I said that it is too early to tell. Though after watching Godzilla v Megaguirus I have a feeling I might be a little weirded out the next time I see a dragonfly.

I have a feeling watching the Godzilla series in reverse order might mess with my head a little bit, though yes I agree there are some people might say that I did not have much to mess with in the first place. It seems at least so far that most of the Millennium Series movies aren’t direct sequels with the possible exception of Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla and Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. (but they are films 4 & 5 in the series).
I suppose the lack of direct continuity between most of the movies in the millennium series is good enough explanation as to the reason why there has been any major character development because I really would have liked to have seen Misato Tanaka’s character Major Kiriko Tsujimori’s grudge against Godzilla fleshed out just that little bit more, her former CO’s dog tags clearly meant something to her but they were not featured as heavily as they could have been.
As movies go this was an interesting piece of speculative science fiction with the use of plasma energy so that nuclear energy can be replaced as well as the use of what ended up being a satellite mounted black hole gun.
