Right from the start, Godzilla: King of the Monsters makes it clear that it is not going to be another hide-the-monsters exercise like its predecessor, 2014’s Godzilla. Whereas that movie, which rebooted the king of the monsters for modern audiences, aimed for a more contemplative if stingy approach to portraying the iconic beast, this new film gives us a huge scene — with a huge monster! — within its first few minutes.

The message is clear: This Godzilla movie is gonna be wall to wall with the monsters, contemplativeness be damned.

Co-written and directed by Michael Dougherty, who has also helmed the spook-fests Trick ‘r Treat and Krampus, Godzilla: King of the Monsters stars Kyle Chandler, Vera Farmiga and Millie Bobby Brown as a splintered family that gets swept up in the drama when a new array of giant monsters begins to appear around the world. Perhaps not surprisingly, the cast mostly gets short shrift when compared to the kaiju, with Chandler’s character spending most of his screen time stressed out, Brown’s crying more often than not, and Farmiga’s… well, let’s just say her character’s motivations are confusing at best and ridiculous at worst.

On paper, it may seem like there aren’t many ingredients needed for a good kaiju movie–you need the kaiju, of course, some sort of city, town, or other major set piece for them to destroy, and a handful of humans to motivate the story in one way or another. And yeah, getting those things right will give you a spectacle, to be sure. But what separates the good kaiju movies from the great ones is a little harder to pin down, and something that Godzilla: King Of The Monsters seems to understand perfectly.

A successor to both 2014’s Godzilla and 2017’s Kong: Skull Island, Godzilla: King Of The Monsters picks up some of the ongoing threads in the burgeoning franchise universe. It centers around the activities of Monarch, a semi-shady research organization dedicated to studying “titans” (read: kaiju) that have been discovered around the world. They’re not exactly working in secret, thanks to Godzilla’s rampage against another type of titan creature–the “Mutos”–that destroyed San Francisco back in the series’ first movie. King Of The Monsters deals with that fallout directly: This is a world where everyone knows monsters exist and Monarch is under direct scrutiny from the military for their potentially irresponsible ideologies and practices.

But don’t panic if you don’t remember all that much about 2014 Godzilla–King Of The Monsters deals out a handful of recaps for anyone who isn’t already in the know. They’re a little clunky in terms of exposition, but they get the job done just fine. This isn’t a movie interested in assigning any pre-requisite viewing homework–it really just wants to get out of its own way and show you some giant monsters.

That said, the human characters actually suffer a little from the plot’s blatant need to get as much information about who they are and what they want out as quickly and as plainly as possible. Vera Farmiga’s Dr. Emma Russell has a few confusing turns alongside Charles Dance’s Jonah Allen–an ecoterrorist who really just feels like a modern Tywin Lannister out of Game of Thrones, right down to his line delivery and permanent scowl. Meanwhile, Bradley Whitford’s Dr. Standon sometimes feels like he wandered in from a completely different, way more comedic movie. It can be a little jarring whenever the humans are the focus of a scene, but it’s far from catastrophic, especially once you realize that they’re ultimately just the utilitarian part of the story. The kaiju can’t actually talk, so the humans have to do that part for them, even if their lines are a little clunky from time to time.

The plot can feel a little contrived now and then. Sometimes it wants to be a family drama between Dr. Russell and her estranged husband Mark (Kyle Chandler) with their daughter, Maddie (Millie Bobbie Brown), caught in the middle. Other times it’s a deeply mythological worldbuilding extravaganza with Monarch’s Dr. Serizawa (Ken Watanabe), Dr. Chen (Ziyi Zhang), and Dr. Graham (Sally Hawkins) dropping any number of insane titan-related facts about the way the Earth and nature work in the franchise. Neither of the narrative avenues really feel like they matter in this particular movie–though the worldbuilding will likely pay off at some point down the line in future installments. Still, if there’s a weak link here, it’s all the stuff happening between the giant monster fights.

The kaiju themselves are the heart of the movie. The core four, Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, and Ghidorah, all manage to have their own unique characteristics and mannerisms. Ghidorah’s three heads squabble with one another. Mothra somehow comes across as a sort of soothing, gentle presence despite being an absolutely massive and deadly bug. Rodan–and don’t ask me how they accomplished this–genuinely manifests the weirdest sort of sycophant toady personality despite being a giant flaming pterodactyl. All while Godzilla himself brings it home with his benevolent and charming ferocity.

Watching them fight is an absolute blast. It’s noisy and explosive, splashed with the sort of mesmerizing wide shots of stormy skies and silhouetted dragon wings that would look at home airbrushed on the side of a van–and I mean that in the best way possible. The fights are brutal and massive, but they’re never too self-serious and they never lose focus on the fact that we, the audience, are actively watching and rooting for one giant monster to beat up another giant monster because one giant monster is our friend and the other is basically an overgrown playground bully.

Simply put: It’s fun. It’s fun to sit around and root for Godzilla to come save us, even if he’s completely obliterating whole cities in the process. King Of The Monsters knows this in its bones, and that’s what it wants to deliver. It’s a kaiju movie where the kaiju themselves are the stars and that’s what makes it such a great ride.

Academy Award-winners Matt Damon and Christian Bale are set to star in Ford v. Ferrari and we have our first look at the upcoming film.

Ford v. Ferrari is based on the true story of “the visionary American car designer Carroll Shelby (Damon) and the fearless British driver Ken Miles (Bale), who together battled corporate interference, the laws of physics, and their own personal demons to build a revolutionary race car for Ford Motor Company and take on the dominating race cars of Enzo Ferrari at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in France in 1966.”

The film is being directed by Logan’s James Mangold, and is written by Jez Butterworth, John-Henry Butterworth, and Jason Keller.

EA has announced that the narrative adventure game Sea of Solitude will launch on July 5, for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. This narrows it down from its previously announced launch window of Q3 2019.

The bittersweet adventure follows a young girl named Kay as she tries to overcome her struggles with loneliness. The world is a flooded cityscape that reflects insecurities that change according to her own state of mind. As she navigates it she’ll meet mythic beasts and help solve puzzles to clear tainted memories and introduce color and light to the dark world.

The title from German developer Jo-Mei Games is part of EA Originals program, which puts some big-name publisher muscle behind smaller, indie-like projects. This is the third game to participate in the program, after Fe and A Way Out.

“Sea of Solitude centers on the essence of loneliness and tugs on the heartstrings of its players by mirroring their own reality. It’s by far the most artistic and personal project I’ve ever created, written during a very emotional time in my life,” Jo-Mei CEO Cornelia Geppert said in the announcement. “Designing characters based on emotions was a deeply personal achievement for our team and we’re so excited for players to soon experience Kay’s powerful story of self-discovery and healing.”

There’s less than a month before Toy Story 4 lands in theaters–advanced tickets are now on sale–which continues the adventures of Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz (Tim Allen), and their motley crew of toy companions. There are also a couple of new faces in the mix–and the return of an old one. We know Bo Peep (Annie Potts) is returning to the franchise after sitting out Toy Story 3, while new carnival toys played by Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key are popping up.

Another new addition is Forky (Tony Hale), the toy that Bonnie (Madeleine McGraw)–who inherited the Woody and his pals from Andy–made herself that is the subject of a brand-new clip from the film. The new toy, who was first introduced in a Toy Story 4 teaser trailer, looks like an art project gone horribly wrong, as Bonnie seems to have attached pipe cleaners and googly eyes to a spork, which brought it to life.

In the clip, it’s revealed that Woody seemingly snuck into Bonnie’s backpack and went to school with her for the day, only to come home with Forky in tow. The little spork looks downright terrified of his fellow toys, while the gang is mostly fascinated. Woody also mentions there’s a road trip coming for the toys.

This road trip is central to the movie’s plot. Along the way, Woody ends up reuniting with Bo Peep, who isn’t the same toy you remember from Toy Story 2. According to the movie’s synopsis, “Bo’s adventurous spirit and life on the road belie her delicate porcelain exterior. As Woody and Bo realize they’re worlds apart when it comes to life as a toy, they soon come to find that’s the least of their worries.”

This new evolution of Bo Peep is an important one, as the character steps into the spotlight. When GameSpot visited Pixar headquarters to learn more about Toy Story 4, the movies story artist Carrie Hobson explained, “Ultimately, we decided she’s a character who decided she didn’t just want to sit on a shelf waiting for life to happen. She learned to adapt. She takes chances and is somewhat unpredictable–a lot different from Woody. She doesn’t play by toy rules, so she can literally change her default ‘toy mode,’ which means when a kid picks her up, she can change what pose she’s locked into, enabling her to be a different type of toy depending on the kid that’s playing with her. She’s more active and resourceful in her life as a lost toy.”

Thanks to this growth in Bo Peep, Woody will face some changes of his own. Story supervisor Valerie LaPoint teased the cowboy is “going to evolve and change and grow through this film.”

After toy toys found new life with Bonnie in Toy Story 4, it sounds like it may be time for them to find themselves in the new movie. Toy Story 4 is in theaters on June 21.
