To make it short, as many of you have probably read the lengthened storyline over and over, an ancient spacecraft is found in the bottom of the sea. Upon exposure to light when brought to the surface, Orga is eventually awakened and tries to adapt to our planet using Godzilla's regenerative G cells. As all of Godzilla's foes generally do, Orga meets his demise upon confrontation with the Big G.

What makes this movie unique is that the special effects are a little more modern than in the previous series, although it's great to see the return of the rubber suit, as oppsed to TriStar's CGI graphics. The movie, as I mentioned before, is more entertaining than many of the previous ones. The competition between the father-daughter team tracking Godzilla for study and the Govenment assigned team that wants to destroy him bring an added dimension to the storyline The young girl, a brilliant actress, brings a lot of humor and intentional sarcasm into the script. This is a great change of pace from many of the previous entries. I highly recommend adding this feature to your collection.

An uncut version (usually region 3) with Japanese audio and English subtitles is the preferred way to watch this movie, as less of the humor is lost in translation.

Now it's 1999, and the Godzilla Prediction Network (GPN) is studying and tracking Godzilla when he appears on the coast of Nemuro and in his own way, he destroys the city.

Earlier that week, a 60 million year old rock was discovered in the ocean oh Japan, without warning it begins to float and heads for a meeting with Godzilla in Tokai Mura.

Godzilla uses his uses his beefed up CGI atomic breath and breaks the rocks to reveal a UFO!!! The UFO blows Godzilla back into the sea with a hyperblaster but lands and ceases all activities due to the damage caused by Godzilla.

Later, the UFO takes off for Shinjuku where the final battle between the UFO and Godzilla takes place. The UFO transforms into a monster called Orga and proceeds to kick the s**t out of Godzilla.

Toho was going for something new here, and I think they achieved it. G2000, is one of my favorite movies to come out last year. I love the new costume and the head looks friggin' awesome!

The only beef us G-Fans have is the blending over of CG and live action. They looks awkward, but this is Toho's first attempt at using CGI in movies. Hopefully they get it worked out for the next Godzilla movie.

If you plan on buying this, get the DVD and listen to the original language track with subtitles. Dubbed sounds so bad, but that is one of the charms to Godzilla.
