Where to Watch Godzilla (2014)
As a monster, Godzilla originated in Japan in 1954, making it one of the longest-running film franchises. It now consists of 38 films, with 33 Japanese productions and 5 American ones, starting in 2014 with Gareth Edwards' feature film.
What ended up being the first of many films to be released in 2014 began a full decade earlier and was instead planned as an IMAX short film. Halfway through, in 2009, the idea was transferred from IMAX to Legendary to be redeveloped into a full-length feature.
Starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ken Watanabe and Elizabeth Olsen, Godzilla tells the story of U.S. Navy EOD officer Ford, who tries to protect his family from a crossfire between Godzilla and two monsters known as MUTOs that are wreaking havoc on many people.
The film is packed with action scenes and special effects, but it would be just as entertaining on your home television as it was in theaters a decade ago.
Godzilla was a commercial and critical success, with a 76% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics agreed that the film's visuals exceeded all expectations, although it could have used more screen time and more Godzilla appearances.
If you're interested in revisiting the Godzilla franchise, make sure your Netflix subscription is up and running, and stream the movie starting March 1, 2024.
