New Restorations: Shin Godzilla

Sunday, August 24 at 7 PM

“The Original Gangsta Lizard gets a largely satisfying reboot in “Shin Godzilla,” a surprisingly clever monster mash best described as the “Batman Begins” of Zilla Thrillers.”
— Joe Leydon, Variety

KPAC presents the 4K re-release of Toho’s acclaimed monster reboot, SHIN GODZILLA. Something has surfaced in Tokyo Bay. As the Prime Minister of Japan pleads with the public to remain calm, a horrific creature of tremendous size makes landfall in the city, leaving death and destruction in its wake. The government assembles a task force to combat the monster when an envoy from the US Department of State delivers a folder of classified documents. On its cover is written: “GODZILLA.” Propelled by astounding visual effects and rapid fire dialogue, Shin Godzilla is equal parts pulse-pounding action film and venomous political satire, worthy of the franchise’s towering history.

Rated: PG-13 | 2 hr | Tickets: $8 Adult / Film Pass
