Tim Cogshell

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

The sound effects in this movie are extraordinary. That roar that Godzilla does? I gotta tell you that I kind of love that. I might make it the dial tone on my phone.

Esther Zuckerman

Thrillist

The cast is stacked with otherwise brilliant actors stuck in a borderline incomprehensible plot and forced to play second fiddle to monsters whose powers of wonder wear off fast.

Sometimes you have to be honest about the movie you really are - smashy smash. If you can reconcile that, then it's not so awful.

Rated: 3/5

Cinema Crazed

Works on its own, and as a chapter in a larger movie universe that pays off quite well.

For the Win (USA Today)

The scope and melodramatics of this one meshed really well with the unfiltered desire to let these beasts go at it.
