Kaiju: Godzilla 2000 (12A*)
Barbican CentreSilk Street, London

About this event
The Millennium Era of Godzilla movies began with this sci-fi spectacular, with the iconic kaiju combatting a new foe – an ancient, extraterrestrial UFO. Following the negative reception of the Hollywood’s 1998 blockbuster take on Godzilla, the giant monster returned to Japan and appeared in the first of a series of kaiju movies referred to as the Millennium Era. With a new look, Godzilla roars back with a vengeance, facing one of his most intriguing foes – a UFO with the ability to absorb DNA and transform itself into another creature. The new, intimidating design of Godzilla was hugely popular, and the monster battles are as strong as ever, with a jaw-dropping climax. An up-close encounter with Godzilla near the end is particularly chilling. We are delighted that this screening is the UK Theatrical Premiere of this film, giving you a first-time chance to see this on the big screen. In Japanese with English subtitles. The screening on Sunday 30 August will be introduced by kaiju expert Steven Sloss .
