Another Screening of SHIN GODZILLA Added at The Tivoli This Saturday

See SHIN GODZILLA! You’ll be glad you did. I saw it last weekend and was blown away by how weird, ambitious, and crazy this new reboot from Toho Studios is. It only played four times last week, but all the show were near sell-outs so Landmark’s The Tivoli Theater (6350 Delmar Blvd) has added another screening. It’s this Saturday, October 22nd at noon. You’ve been given another chance. Don’t blow it!

Make way for the ultimate homage to one of the most enduring legends of the big screen—Godzilla! The King of the Monsters is back in Tokyo for a city-crushing crusade that speaks to the very roots of the world-renowned franchise. It’s a peaceful day in Japan when a strange fountain of water erupts in the bay, causing panic to spread among government officials. At first, they suspect only volcanic activity, but one young executive dares to wonder if it may be something different… something alive. His worst nightmare comes to life when a massive, gilled monster emerges from the deep and begins tearing through the city, leaving nothing but destruction in its wake. As the government scrambles to save the citizens, a rag-tag team of volunteers cuts through a web of red tape to uncover the monster’s weakness and its mysterious ties to a foreign superpower. But time is not on their side—the greatest catastrophe to ever befall the world is about to evolve right before their very eyes. (Fully subtitled)

“What is audacious about this remake is not the liberties taken with Godzilla lore, but rather how faithful it is to the canon established by Toho Pictures in the 1950s.”

Edmund Lee at South China Morning Post claims:

“Toho’s 29th entry in the Godzilla franchise  manages to pay loving homage to the lumbering anti-hero of Ishiro Honda’s 1954 classic.”
