Version: Siren's R4 DVD, English dub. Possible spoilers.
This fine film starts with an archaeological dig in Okinawa - our archaelogist heroes (although they just don't compare to Indiana Jones) discover rock-paintings with a prophecy about monsters destroying the world and metal not found on Earth. I wouldn't think that such a prophecy would be big news, after all, Godzilla & pals had been raiding Japan for 20 years.
Speaking of Godzilla, he turns up in Japan, trashes Tokyo for a bit and beats up on Angilas. "Why is Godzilla attacking his friend?" a confused scientist asks, before discovering moments later that the strange metal from Okinawa isn't just titanium - its space titanium. Titanium. From Space.
So what does this all mean? Are they random coincidences? Or have alien gorillas who wear human suits, and originating from the 9th planet in the Black Hole Galaxy, come up with a plan to conquer Earth using a MechaGodzilla? You have one guess.
Well, now its up to Godzilla and King Caesar (the not so legendary protector of Okinawa, who has yet to reappear in any kaiju movie...) to battle MechaGodzilla, while the human characters thwart the Aliens plans. Speaking of humans, our future is in the hands of some scientists and an Interpol agent. Yes, Interpol investigates alien invasions now.
"Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla" sets new standards in absurdity in Godzilla movies. It really is that silly. I'm not saying that its bad - on the contrary, I thought the movie was great fun, and I think the aliens' real plan was to makes us all laugh ourselves to death. The dubbing is truly bad (that explains a lot of the cheese-factor), and most of the movie is laughable. Any Godzilla fan should check it out, as should anyone looking for cheap, cheesy laughs.
5/10
