edit, duplicate post.

Yeah, that shot of the Muto's head in the jungle was revealed in one of the TV spots before this extended footage was released. 

If you haven't already, I would definitely check those TV spots out. Almost each one (there are like 6/7 of them) contains at least some small bit of unique footage that the other spots/trailers do not have.....including some shots of Godzilla's foot that match what was described at the San Diego Comic-Con :-)

I really hope that SDCC footage gets released to the public at some point. Even if it's just part of the special features section on the DVD. 

Alright, so it looks like we'ver at least got 2 muto's confirmed from this last trailer!!!

My guess is the centipede-esque morphs into the flying one.

As much as we've seen from the trailers a timeline/sequence can be established and I'm lovin' it!

Thats a good question!  They are being delightfully (a.k.a. infuriatingly) vague about the details of this movie and this sequence, despite the Janjira Incident being the thing we know most about in the film so far.  I think the instruments in the facility pick up a signature that doesnt match an earthquake, but is consistant with an living organism.  Maybe Joe is the only one who sees it!  Maybe he sees someting else... a claw or tail perhaps?  We don't really know if it is Godzilla or a Muto that causes the destruction of the plant, but it seems that something causes a subteranian malfunction and/or a structural crisis.  Unless Godzilla is a burrower, my money is on a smaller Muto causing the incident, as it could go about its business in a more covert manner.  If it were Godzilla, chances are he would have been spotted.  Remember, the 8 legged "Hokmuto" has been described as much smaller than Godzilla.  Maybe Joe saw a portion of the creature's body, but chances are he is tipped off by a bizzare signature on an instrument of some sort.  Being that the plant is in Japan, chances are they would have earthquake sensing equipment on hand, as earthquakes are common in Japan and a bad one could compromise the facility.

In the interviews that were done around the time the 20 minute footage tour was being done, they reveal that he knew it wasn't an earthquake because the seismic readings didn't match what an earthquake or natural disaster would look like. 

Something about how the tremors came in at consistent, repeated intervals, rather than more random and jagged. 

He doesn't necessarily know it was an animal or a creature. He just knows that something is up and he isn't being given the truth. 

Wow! It looks great! :D

that would be cool but i dont think they will

he knew it wasent naturel because A FRIGGN GODZILLA CAM OUT OF THE RUBBLE!!! XD sorry but i agrea with @Godzilla 2014 himself that he saw something on the graph or a nucler power plant just dosent fall over

i dont think it was stupied but i dont think it is true

XD

Ichiro Serizawa (seemingly the descendant of Daisuke Serizawa). He is badass and when he says :" the arrogance of man is thinking nature's under our control and not the other way round", it's true.

Ce n'était ni un tremblement de terre ni un typhon! 

It wasn't an earthquake, it wasn't a typhoon! 

I'm hoping that this Edwards film will finally put the GINO controversy to rest. 

as a monster movie, i don't mind G98. It's big and dumb and entertaining and there are certainly worse kaiju  films out there. As a Godzilla movie, I couldn't enjoy it for the same reason most fans couldn't: It didn't resemble Godzilla in appearance, behavior, or symbolism. Also, judging from interviews with Emerich and Devlin, they didn't appear to have much respect for the source material and i think it shows intheir final product.

These are valid reasons to dislike G98, but I wouldn't say anyone is a lesser fan by enjoying it or even considering it to be their favorite Godzilla movie. No one here has a monopoly on what Godzilla is or shouldbe. There are certainly enough interpetations of the character (like Batman) that I am free to pick out the ones I like and ignore those I don't. I'm just glad to share a fandom with people who are passionate about it, even if it means disagreements and the occasional hurt feelings. 

He thinks that it was a creature because the graph wasn't moving like an earthquake, it was moving like a creature or something living. It wasn't an earthquake that caused the plant to fall it was something living.

DUPR004-You didn't specify what movie sequel must fall into your "criteria". The fact remains unchanged. Had one of those movie sequel fell at the box office, they would not have made another. Yes Star Trek and Star Wars, by your logic, Godzilla would have fitted there too, it was a pre-existing franchise with many sequels. 

It is speculation to argue that Godzilla would not become a sequel anyway even if it was successful, which is what you seem to be arguing. So I don't really see how your point is stronger.

GMAN2887-Someone has to end it, or at least give a more definitive end to the endless "why GINO sucks" questions. 

This may have been said already, but I haven't seen it... Anyway, there's another decently clear shot of the MUTO head. It comes immediately after the helicopter shot of the MUTO, around 2:21. The shot itself is an aircraft crashing into what seems to be a forest, but in the first few frames you'll spot the glowing red eye and will make out the rest of the head. 

Sweet. :)

I wondered the same thing because the soldiers guns react to the mist when it hits them. However if we piece all the footage of that scene together I think it's more likely to be a nucleur warhead going off in the tunnel. I've seen a shot of a train loaded with warheads and a shot of a burning train heading towards them so, yeah, that's how I've come to that conclusion. How the train reaches it's fireball state tho...that's another question altogether.

Obviously its a giant burp. 

I think (or I hope rather) that most people realize that the cloud in the nuclear power plant is steam or some other gas related to the malfunction....NOT a biological gas emitted by the MUTO. 

The gas I think the OP is talking about, is the gas that comes out of the tunnel and appears to damage the soldier's guns. I'm not sure what that is tbh. 

It might be a cloud of dust/debris that is violently kicked out or displaced as something is destroyed/attack from inside the tunnel maybe?

One of the many mysteries still remaining for May 16th, in spite of all the footage we've been shown :-) Take that Spiderman-3!!! I feel like I've seen that movie already

I think the CG goes from passable to poor. Some of the city destruction scenes look pretty bad, but then again, I didn't expect the greatest qualiity CG from the film.

That sounds really negative but its not.

So yeah I was a bit more impressed with PR's CG, but that is because the director knew he was making a bullshit movie and didn't try to hide behind realism for it.

Anytime you try to copy realism, its going to be harder to pull off a plausible CG.

Its passable at best and that is all I'm going to say about it. Doesn't mean I'm annoyed or disappointed or wont like the movie-- considering I'd sit through this film if it were claymation or suitmation. 

I thought the CGI had definitely improved. The shot of the fin breaking through the train track has certainly been touched up.

^ I'm just guessing here, but I think the old cameras are going to be used in the flashback when they try nuking Godzilla.

I'm kind of surprised at how many people think it wasn't that good lol I don't think it's fair to compare it to PR because the whole selling point of that film was the visual effects. Godzilla on the other hand is focusing a lot more on story as well as spectacle. Even then though I thought most of the cgi moments were on par with PR, and some were better.

I just can't wait to see this movie in theater quality instead of 1080p, it's going to look awesome.

Allow me to explain something. The star Wars prequels were planned from the conception of the original trilogy. So the fact is there was always going to be 3 prequel movies, the decade they were released doesn't really matter. Hence why I said "not including the star Wars prequels" Then there's star trek. Yes it did get 4 movies, BUT that was largely due to the television show that it was based off. The movies didn't follow a plot based off eachother, as much as the show. It's basically like saying 'Oh well pokemon had 3 movies" when none of the movies really had any connection to eachother, and were more based on the show then as a seperate media. Then there's Matrix. Bravo 1 movie that spawned a trilogy that you named, there are a few more like scream jurassic park, ect, but point is it wasn't as common of a thing.

Even if you wanted to discount all the reasons I gave for why star Wars and star trek aren't comparable to godzilla that's still only 5 or so films that got past sequels. I'm going to go with what I said, that your argument that we didn't get a series is speculation banking on that fact Godzilla could have broken into this small niche for films that managed to get more than a sequel before finishing. 

Allow me to turn this half baked argument back. Thank god for the 1998 movie as without it we would never have what seems to be a great movie that's coming out soon. See what I did there? Even though this movie may or may not still have been produced I'm jumping the gun and saying it wouldn't due to my own speculation. 

This isn't a documentry. So what is scientifically wrong or not, it is a film, it is a science fiction film. If you ask me critics won't give a shit about that, they care about the movie itself not the small things just because they're not correct. All you guys seen was a wave crashing into Hawaii and Godzilla submerging with red flares. That's it. If you seen the scene around the end of the trailer where Godzilla is swimming towards a boat, his speed could cause the waves, you never know. His natural home is water.

WHAT ABOUT BOOMER???

Boomer, will, live

YAY

I don't think it's all that stupid of an idea. I mean the water is going above trees(granted palm trees which don't get too big, but still). Unless godzilla rushed out of the water, and judging by the rate he's going when they shoot the flares up I don't see him bringing that much water forward. However due to the fact the MUTO is in hawaii I don't think a tsunami would coincidentally show up and bring Godzilla to it, but I see your reasoning behind thinking it. 

As much as I love these clips, I'm really starting to get bored of them.

@MrDinoboy2000, I agree with you. It does look like Kamacuras and Predator. Muto is one ugly mother f*cker! XD

You guys, the music sounds amazing right? This soundtrack seems very intense and promising.

I found something on wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_meltdown here is a little extract from the article talking about a 'breach' (just like bryans characters wife said in the extended look trailer) "There are several possibilities as to how the primary pressure boundary could be breached by corium.

• Steam Explosion

As previously described, FCI could lead to an overpressure event leading to RPV fail, and thus, primary pressure boundary fail. Haskin, et al. report that in the event of a steam explosion, failure of the lower plenum is far more likely than ejection of the upper plenum in the alpha-mode. In the event of lower plenum failure, debris at varied temperatures can be expected to be projected into the cavity below the core. The containment may be subject to overpressure, though this is not likely to fail the containment. The alpha-mode failure will lead to the consequences previously discussed."

I'm pretty sure thats what the steam was in the trailer.

Godzilla 1998 WAIT! that's not Godzilla movie right?

First Godzilla movie i ever saw is Godzilla vs Destroyah

Look like I've posted something stupid :( I'm sorry...

Thanks so much guys, iera was an almost overwhelming response! I'll take note of all the answers and go from there!...thanks again 

@Something Real - Thanks gal, u rock too. lol

Thanks @SomethingReal :)

Man, I'm loving the monsters designs for this movie! Muto looks awesome

Heh and I'm pretty sure people who actually want to watch movies like Godzilla go in with zero expectations except they just wanna catch something awesome and see some serious thrashing and smashing. 

And u know after all these trailers, I think to the extent, Godzilla is going deliver what these people want to see. And I'm certain its going to be a huge hit.
