Movies the giraffe watched in 2022: July (36 movies items)

"First viewing - July 11th HBO Max Easy to see how this earned Edwards the opportunity to jump to Legendary's Godzilla. There are big monsters & human relationships weaved together in a way that mostly works. Plus it's an interesting if not especially deep look at immigration from Mexico to the U.S. The world building is solid too. Less thrilled about the opening sequence being what it is, though I'll give points for not repeating it. Overall this is a solid debut & I'm glad I finally gave it a "

The Top 40 Sci-Fi Movies of the 21st Century (40 movies items)

"Before he'd take the reigns of this summer's Godzilla reboot, director Gareth Edwards made this ingeniously minimalist giant-monster movie, in which two travelers seek safe passage through a post-alien invasion, kaiju-dotted landscape. The idea of offering only glimpses of the creatures and focusing more on the aftermath may have been the result of budgetary concerns, but necessity is certainly the mother of invention here; it's a clever way of making a familiar sci-fi scenario seem fresh again."
