Dreams of Godzilla

Godzilla may have gone into retirement, but that doesn’t stop people from dreaming. It seems that the Big G returns to Japanese cinema screens in Always-zoku san-chôme no yûhi [aka Always - Sunset on Third Street 2] (2007; dir. Takashi Yamazaki) — sequel to the same director’s multi-award-winning mega-hit drama Always san-chôme no yûhi (2005).

In a two-minute dream sequence, the Big G makes a nostalgic visit to the film’s 1959 Tokyo neighbourhood as an all-CGI giant — and the effect looks considerably more Godzilla-like than the maligned 1998 US effort.
