Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla

Wiki Article

After a tumultuous production process, Godzilla vs. Kong was initially scheduled for release on May 29, 2020, before being moved forward to March 13, 2020, and then again to November 20, 2020, and finally to May 21, 2021. It was then rescheduled for release on March 26, 2021, before finally hitting cinemas on March 31, 2021 in the United States of America. The film was also available for viewing on HBO Max until April 30, 2021, where it could be seen in real time.

In 2024, five years after Godzilla killed his extraterrestrial opponent Ghidorah, Godzilla and Kong are the only living Titans on Earth. A storm caused by Ghidorah, combined with the storm cell that surrounds Skull Island, has made its climate unstable, forcing Monarch to confine Kong inside a dome-shaped facility that simulates the island's environment, with an orphaned young Iwi girl named Jia who is deaf and can communicate with Kong via sign language.

As they hunt for a potent energy source, Apex founder and CEO Walter Simmons engages former Monarch scientist turned Hollow Earth theorist Nathan Lind. A powerful anti-gravity field within the tunnel killed Nathan's brother as he attempted to explore the Hollow Earth. Walter discloses Apex has built Hollow Earth Aerial Vehicles, customized ship capable of withstanding the gravity field's pressure.

Nathan sees no other alternative and determines that the gang should turn down all of the ships' engines to fool Godzilla into believing he destroyed them and Kong was vanquished, which they do. Godzilla looks at the shattered fleet with interest and then swims away, knowing he has triumphed. After realizing that reactivating the ships could allow Godzilla to return, the group decides to fly Kong to a Hollow Earth entry point in Antarctica, where Ghidorah was first frozen. Jia tells Kong that his house is via the front door, but he refuses to leave.

Madison and Josh track down Bernie, who recognizes Madison as Mark's daughter and helps them in their investigation. Inside the Apex offices, they learn that Bernie's previously mentioned "eye" has disappeared. The group mistakenly sealed and transported Skullcrawler eggs while carrying them through an underground tube to Hong Kong.

Walter intends to use the energies of the Hollow Earth in order to defeat Mechagodzilla. As a result of Apex's attack on Godzilla, he and the Titans are being phased out and replaced by humans. Five years after Apex got the severed head of Ghidorah from Alan Jonah, Ren is now seated inside it, operating Mechagodzilla through radio waves. Apex acquired the head from Alan Jonah five years ago.

Godzilla recovers and rises up as he hunts for Kong atop a skyscraper. Kong ambushes Godzilla from above and puts him in a chokehold with the intention of strangling him. Despite Kong's attempts to get Godzilla off of him by striking his damaged leg, Godzilla breaks free and unleashes his entire rage on him, dislocating his left arm, slicing him with his claws, and even stomping on his chest twice. Godzilla roars angrily at Kong, his vanquished foe who is bound and pinned.

Godzilla shows pity and spares his rival's life, as though inspired by Kong's tenacity and power, before walking away, leaving Kong alive but gravely hurt, as he finally loses consciousness due to commotio cordis.

Walter tells Ren to dispatch Mechagodzilla to slay Godzilla back at Apex headquarters. The mecha is activated, despite Ren's warnings not to use the new Hollow Earth energy source without testing. The security guards also apprehend Bernie, Madison, and Josh and bring them to Walter. While Walter denies inciting Godzilla's war and triggering the whole mess, Madison accuses him of accepting responsibility for giving humans a chance to confront Godzilla and the Titans.

As Godzilla and Mechagodzilla duel, Josh and Bernie try to stop the renegade robot remotely, while Madison calls in Mark for help. Eventually, Godzilla takes the upper hand and scorches Mechagodzilla. Jia realizes that Kong's pulse is fading as Mechagodzilla continues to beat Godzilla as the three approach the unconscious Kong. Maia had previously said that the HEAVs were capable of powering Las Vegas for a week, so Nathan recalls that and sets the final HEAV to self-destruct, detonating the vessel and unleashing an enormous electrical charge that immediately revives Kong.

The two Titans join forces to turn the tide, but the robot outperforms them. Kong takes aim at Mechagodzilla with his axe, but his weapon has lost its charge, and the robot attempts to impale Kong with its tail drill, but Kong survives. Recognizing that he and the others can do nothing to help Kong and Godzilla, Bernie pulls out a flask of liquor and proposes they all drink. But, having had an epiphany, Josh snatches Bernie's flask and spills the contents all over Mechagodzilla's control panel, prompting Mechagodzilla to halt and Godzilla and Kong to reclaim the upper hand.

Godzilla sees Kong holding his axe and supercharges it with his atomic breath, enabling Kong to dismember Mechagodzilla limb from limb and take its head off before holding up his prize and resting.

Monarch will have built an observation station in the Hollow Earth at some point in the future, if not already. In the morning, Kong goes by Ilene, Nathan, and Jia. To declare his new home and kingdom, the King of the Hollow Earth, Kong leaps onto an overhanging rock and pounds his chest, roaring as he proclaims himself the new king.

Site: "This long-awaited blockbuster matchup makes it easy not to think about the so-so story and characters by serving up plenty of action and incredible effects." Indeed, the movie's monster fights were praised by most reviewers. Some were disappointed by the movie's "half-baked" human characters. The film was credited with ending a box office slump fueled by the COVID-19 pandemic, having earned an estimated $48.5 million dollars in the U.S. box office by the Sunday morning of five-day weekend release period. WarnerMedia did not release numbers for the film's reception on HBO Max, but stated that it was a film that viewers were watching more than once and that the film had a larger viewer audience than any series or film released on the service since it launched. The film also saw massive international ticket sales, with an additional haul of approximately $236 million in non-U.S. markets.

On April 17, 2021, despite the pandemic's impact on movie business, Godzilla vs. Kong exceeded Godzilla: King of the Monsters' total box office.

Chandler's presence in King Kong, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and Godzilla vs. Kong establishes him as the only actor to appear in a King Kong picture, a Godzilla film, and a Godzilla crossover feature.

With a runtime of 113 minutes, Godzilla vs. Kong is the shortest entry in the MonsterVerse.

The sequence in which Kong slams his right shoulder against a building to reposition it (after it was dislocated previously) might be a reference to Martin Riggs' notorious ability in the Lethal Weapon series.

Kong, like Godzilla, jumps from ship to ship in order to avoid an angel.
