Plot:
The story of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire continues from where Godzilla vs Kong ends. Kong sets base in Hollow Earth after the defeat of Mechagodzilla while Godzilla maintains peace between humans and titans. Kong summons Godzilla to fight a force, deep within Hollow Earth, that challenging not just their existence but also the human race. Will the duo be able to protect the planet from this evil force forms the crux of the film.
What works for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is a visual wonder that entices you from the first frame to the last frame. The scenes are magnanimous and the world-building is insane. The movie more than delivers on providing its audience a larger than life experience that can only be enjoyed on the biggest possible screen. The monster film is racy and pacy through its course of 2 hours and never really allows you to take a breather. The storyline is novel and it succeeds in not just engaging you but also making you feel like a part of the big adventure. The visual effects are seamless. The combination scenes of Godzilla and Kong work like magic, as they unite to combat their deadliest rival yet. The Godzilla-Kong film has a strong message stressing on the symbiotic relation of humans and other living creatures and at no point does it feel forced or deliberate.
What doesn't work for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire's plot lacks nuances. Not that the film requires it but it would have been much nicer to have more of it in the narrative. The screentime of Godzilla and Kong is slightly imbalanced. The movie plays out more like a Kong film with Godzilla saving the day. Barring this, Godzilla x Kong is a fun-ride that you will thoroughly enjoy.
