| ineresting story and great action |
One of the first things that people will say about these movies is that thy're just for kids. BIG FLIPPING DEAL!!! who CARES if the stars of the movies are kids? The movies are fun and the only two problems with the movies are: there's 'a save the trees' and 'stop putting trash into the ocean' message, which really I think is pointless. the other problem? bad voices, the voices for these characters are TERRIBLE! but, if you're a Godzilla fan, you get over that.
Rebirth of Mothra: The story begins with Mothra sitting in her island cave, old and weak, then the scene switches to the Hokkaido rain forest where a logging company is taking down trees. while making rounds, a bulldozer hits a weird kind of relic and the boss comes down to investigate. the boss takes off a tiny seal (which you find out is the seal of elias) thus the two elias, Mona and Laura, whose ancestors made the seal, go to the family whose daughter was given the seal by her dad. but she's being controlled by the rouge elias, Belvera. a quick battle ensues and Belvera gets away. the seal was made to keep a giant space monster, whose name is Desghidorah coming out. Desghidorah first landed on Mars, thus the reason it's a wasteland. of course it gets out again, and being controlled by Belvera, starts sucking the life out of the earth, like before. Mona asks Laura for help to summon Mothra, but Laura pleeads, saying mothra's too old and even weaker after giving birth. but they summon Mothra and the two monsters fight. after a moments confusion, Desghidorah gains the upper hand severely hurts Mothra sensing it's mother's distress, the egg begins to hatch prematurely. and out from the egg comes Mothraleo, the only male Mothra. it goes to Hokkaido and tries to help it's mother which it does in a way. the family, which is seeing this happen in front of them is able to get out of the valley after rescuing their father. Desghidorah accidentally blasts a dam, letting Mothra grab her son and gets away to the ocean. Mothra's strength fails her and she's no longer able to stay in the air. Mothraleo, tries to get his mother up, but fails, and so Mothra dies, falling to the bottom of the ocean. (if you have younger kids, say 4-9, chances are, they'll cry during mothra's death) the baby goes off to an island down south and transforms into it's imago form, taking power from the 10,000 year old tree which it used for it's cocoon. it goes to fight agaianst Desghidorah, who now has wings, it suceeds and the elias seal up Desghidorah and you find out that Belvera is really Mona and Laura's sister. Mothraleo heals the Hokkaido rian forest which has been burnt up by Desghidorah and goes back home to it's island, healing Hokkaido.
Rebirth of mothra 2: although this movie has better special effects, the story is weaker and Daghara is not as evil. one of the funniest lines in the whole movie has got to be when one of the kids exclaims: "Ew, this thing peed on my leg!"
although this series is not as good as Godzilla, this movie definately deserves your time and your money |

| Once again, ruined by wide screen |
Good concept for monster movies directed at children, however even my kids could not truly enjoy the wide screen ratio. When will these Co. wise up and put them out both ways on one disc, preferably. then everyone can enjoy it, from the wide screen freakazoids back down to the full screen dimensia people.
