This time, Godzilla’s foe is one of the series’ most wondrously strange kaiju creations: Biollante—a mutant plant genetically engineered from the cells of a rose, a renegade scientist’s dead daughter, and Godzilla itself. With a wild plot encompassing spies, psychic children, and bonkers biotechnology—and some of the coolest special effects in the history of Japanese cinema—Godzilla vs. Biollante stands as a high point in the ever-evolving mythology of the King of the Monsters.

Screening as part of Kaiju-A-Go-Go, a day devoted to the fantastical world of gigantic monsters from Japan.. You can see all four films screening on this day at a reduced rate. Full info is on this page.
