I enjoy that our main characters this time include a racecar driver, of course this means there are a few car chases, but that’s no problem here. It adds a bit to the action and story. Speaking of which, more nuclear testing has been done, but this time underwater, which upsets the underwater population of Seatopia so they fight back, naturally.
This is how our main characters get involved, the Seatopians steal the inventor’s robot, for use to guide their giant beetle, Megalon, to the place they want it to start the attack. From there many things happen, kidnapping, car chases, Godzilla, Gigan (apparently a friend to the Seatopians), and a weird setting with the robot.
As all Godzilla movies do, it ends with an epic fight scene between monsters and robots.
