46. I have to confess, I've never seen a 3D film. I have crappy vision (fairly well corrected)

and I think it probably plays better on young eyes.

I did see some 3D special effects at a theme park a long time ago--cannot remember if it was Disney or Universal. It seemed kind of amusing in small doses. I don't think it would help me appreciate a film unless it was an "action" one.

Then again, I can't really know unless I give it a try at some point.

I'm just cheap as hell--getting me to part with the price of a ticket is a challenge!

I think Godzilla might be a little bit too "high brow" for Rush...he might not even make the MADem May 2014 #2

He's fatter, but I don't think he's "too fat" jmowreader May 2014 #6

There is a really good kinda live action hentai parody Godzilla jberryhill May 2014 #37

I should have known something like that would be out there, already. randome May 2014 #44

Not the sole reason. The antinuclear message was clearly a major intent of the original movie. . . Journeyman May 2014 #5

that is interesting. The Japanese saw themselves as saviors of the world... CTyankee May 2014 #55

It'd be a nice change of pace if Godzilla actually won in this movie. Kaleva May 2014 #40

Perhaps the San Francisco destruction will cancel out the anti-nukular stuff. arcane1 May 2014 #51

You lost me at "I just saw Godzilla...." WinkyDink May 2014 #53

Oh come on. This was a top-of-the-line Godzilla movie. jmowreader May 2014 #67

We saw it in IMAX 3D too; I liked it. Link has SPOILERS! RiffRandell May 2014 #54

I see your point. But they might say Godzilla, who is "foreign" SummerSnow May 2014 #56

Did Godzilla snack on little Fiat cars like in the TV commercial? Brigid May 2014 #59

He mostly snacked on other huge radioactive monsters jmowreader May 2014 #66

Godzilla (1954) was actually a reaction to an event that occurred after WWII RandySF May 2014 #62

Did it spit out the Fiat? (Or whatever little car that was?) calimary May 2014 #63

Three actors from the Canadian sci-fi series, Continuum, are in the movie. randome May 2014 #69
