In a bid to preserve the soul of his late daughter, a scientist genetically engineers a rose from her cells and—without realizing it—those of Godzilla too. It grows to gargantuan proportions and, when Godzilla is released from his mountain tomb, the ultimate battle between flora and fauna commences.

Environmental allegory meets primal terror in this spectacular kaiju treatise on grief and capitalist destruction. Featuring one of the most unique—and exquisitely realized—monsters in the canon, this top-tier sequel expertly balances the creature smackdowns with its toenail-level human drama.
