It's not a shoestring budget in Japan though. That's a huge budget. They don't pay their actors millions like we do. They don't spend millions and millions on effects. They can make incredible movies on not much money because their industry isn't bloated.
Ours is. That's the problem.

I wouldn't be surprised if there aren't as many people in the loop that required getting paid lots of money too. they probably have a lot fewer assistant assistants, and not as many VPs of a million and one departments. And I imagine that their OT laws are much different than ours too, I wouldn't be surprised if Japan doesn't pay OT or you have to work at least 10 hours a day to qualify for OT. On top of that, I don't Japan's film industry is unionized like in the US which almost certainly has a cost reducing effect a far as labor is concerned, this could possibly result in more multi-tasking and fewer people because there's no union saying that an electrician can't pick up a hammer to help out when needed or some other specialist isn't required to move a cable 6 inches to the left because it's in frame.

I believe it was the Collider review that specifically mentioned, in regards to budget, that Japan's film industry lacks unions for actors and film workers, which decreases the budget, but also contributes to a "Crunch" style culture of long hours without overtime that makes it hard on the crew.
Saw this a couple nights ago and absolutely loved this entry! Goji is big, mean, nasty, and invokes a sense of terrible awe: pitch perfect depiction. I think the ending kind of undercuts a lot of the drama built up throughout the movie's course, but I'm not mad at it and understand the need for some light after such a fairly bleak movie.
If you're a real Goji nut, the use of the G v Mothra and Monster X (I think it was) renditions of Goji's march was such a nice touch. This movie does so much right, this is an immediate purchase for me as soon as a physical release comes.

In this version, the US is entangled with the Soviets directly so Japan is on their own, at one point using some former Navy destroyers outfitted with interesting secret weapons. No planes except a surprise in the form of a Japanese aircraft, but you do see a handful of Japanese tanks.
The only US military anything I remember was what looked like a 1950s M37 truck being tossed around.

My brother took me to see this at the closest regal. His 2nd time.
I think the last Godzilla film I saw was the American 1998 film, which was not so great. So almost 26 years ago. I've seen older Japanese ones long ago, but can't remember if I even saw the whole movie.
So I've not really paid any attention to Godzilla films since.
Didn't even notice this one, so I went in with only my brother saying it was good.
Over all, I did really enjoy it, the characters and everything about them were strong and it kept me on the edge of my seat.
I like that even when you thought you figured it all out, they still caught you pretty off guard.
The effects for Godzilla were done really well. His whole nuclear mouth laser heat ray thing was intense and I thought looked better that Oppenheimer's trinity test scene.

I was talking to my brother about the old cartoon, which I only remembered a little, and he couldn't even remember.
But looking it up, it was an American made show by hanna-barbera in 1978 and ran only two seasons. It was pretty bad. Godzilla was actually a good guy that helped the crew.
Anyone else watch this back in the day?
I must have watched it on cartoon network in the early 90s.
