The Magic of Cinema

The hype for the special effects in this movie was tremendous back in 1998. While the effects are competent, they're not all that stunning. There's just nothing original here, it's like Jurassic Park meets Aliens with a little Independence Day thrown in at the last minute. Effects-wise, the movie has quite a few shots in which Godzilla gets awkwardly inserted into the action. In addition, he tends to vary in size depending upon the scene in the movie! The baby zillas are the absolute worst though. Next time you see the movie, note the scene inside Madison Square Garden with the wide shot of the baby zillas "nest". Half the zillas are walking around, and not even touching the floor! Let's try to spend a little more time and effort on the post production, fellas
