Tanks, battleships, helicopters, and GOD-FREAKING-ZILLA, oh my!

TOHO’s latest in the Godzilla franchise, Godzilla: Resurgence has just received a trailer and it’s rather glorious! The giant beast is shown in all of its glory, including what I think is the longest tail the creature has ever adorned. Seriously, that thing looks to be twice as long as he is tall. Furthermore, Godzilla looks wrecked. Like, he’s seriously damaged and scarred, as though he’s been through some devastating fights and is still recovering. But when they show his clawed hands, it’s a rather terrifying sight to behold.

Additionally, the trailer doesn’t use any speech, instead relying on suitably epic music to showcase just how devastating the damage is and how grand of a scale this film seems to imbue. As mentioned above, the military presence is massive but it seems their attacks don’t faze the towering monstrosity even a little bit.

Godzilla: Resurgence, the 29th entry in the franchise, will be hitting theaters in Japan on July 29th. It is co-directed by Hideaki Anno (Evangelion) and Shinji Higuchi (Attack on Titan). Anno has written the script.
