After watching the new look at Godzilla, I noticed something: when Godzilla was coming into Hawaii, he caused the water near the shore to recede.

 

I know that it is not new news that this happens, but it shows that Godzilla is also extremely heavy. Tsunamis cause the water to recede when they approach shore, and tsunamis are caused by either: an object of heavy mass and velocity entering the once, or a massive amount of energy (like a tectonic plate sliding). 

Godzilla has to be moving very fast to cause this; or because of his incredible size, he has to carry a massive wake while he swims.

It's probably just not scientifically accurate.

Linkzilla I couldnt agree any more, this movie is going highly unaccurate, much different than how realistic I thought it would be.

Im not hating on the movie (WHY WOULD I LOL) but one problem I have is that you see Godzilla move waayyy too fast for something that big and that he does absolutely NO earthquakes when taking each step.

I hope critics will ignore these mistakes so Godzilla doesnt get bad ratings, or if these unaccuraties get fixed but Im pretty sure theyre done with all these scene editing, or maybe not cuz movies go through editing after filming, but idk i feel like its likely they wont change the scenes like this

Well, the truth of the matter is we haven't seen enough of the film to make a fair assessment. As far as this girl's concerned, we need to wait to see what does and doesn't work in the film - once we've seen it. :)

Why the fuck would godzilla get bad ratings from science facts? Look at avatar everybody loved it and that wasn't science fact. A creature that big could survive and be quick and aggressive. Look at the dinosaurs some like the long neck would stand about 120ft tall and weigh a shit ton. Compare a human to a ant how the hell can we function normal due to our size? It's because of our species. That's the thing with science that pissed me off is all the theory's they use to try to prove something they can not figure out or know. It's an educated guess not a fact! So godzilla? 350ft tall I don't know? Maybe 100,000-200,000 tons. Walking on two legs breaking concrete and cratering sinkholes with each step! Yeah I'd say that could create a shake/ big boom sound but an earthquake no! A stunami possibly. We do not have a creature close to that size but look at the Dino's and other real giant monsters has prove a creature that big can survive and be that aggressive. Like the t- Rex, megladon, long neck, giant crock, giant sloth, giant squid and the blue whales. Are all examples of creatures living to different heights. Just like jeff Goldblum says "nature always finds a way" or it was "evolution always finds a way" but you guys get my point.

ZAFFZILLA - "Life finds a way". And you're quite right. Seismosaurus was well over 100 metric tons in weight and would have produced quite a thump when it walked! A life-form with Godzilla's mass would likely displace a great deal of water were it to take a swim - enough to waterlog a beachfront in any event. :)

U know, I laughed when I saw someone write:" I hope critics will ignore these mistakes so Godzilla doesnt get bad ratings, or if these unaccuraties get fixed but Im pretty sure theyre done with all these scene editing..."

Who the hell cares about a film's scientific realism when we already know what to expect from a movie like Godzilla. It's a monster movie, Goodness! Monsters with the immensity of Godzilla dun exist on Earth, period. Oh I get it, maybe Gareth Edwards should not make Godzilla a movie, and make it a Documentary instead and explain everything accurately so the science nerds can be satisfied? LMAO.

Expecting a critic to scrutinize and fault a film over scientific inaccuracies is as good as having the critic downgrade a Horror film simply because he went in there expecting a comedy. Look at Independence Day the movie, critics only talked bad about the plot and lack of character development, but does anyone say the movie sucks because they couldn't believe how such a fuckin' big mothership could defy the laws of gravity with its shape and yet float in the sky? The movie still turned out a huge hit nonetheless.

So please dun insult the intelligence of movie critics and moviegoers alike, when they know which are the important parts of a movie to look out for. People are there to catch Godzilla in action, they dun give a hoot whether the waves roll back, or they roll upwards or go skyhigh. LMAO.

DESTROYAH-X - You've made a fine point there. Indeed, perhaps simply enjoying the movie for its own sake is the best idea of all. Just gimme some giant monsters thrashing one another and wrecking cityscape! That'll make this girl plenty happy! :)

Well yeah I guess I understand now, I just dont like to talk about a movie if critics are all ahating on it, you know like Man of Steel, people hate that movie for the dumbest reasons and I dont wanna talk about it to people.

I know Godzilla wont suck, I just hate critics complaining about the dumbest things, but Pacific Rim did a good job with critics so Godzilla will do better too obviously

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.

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.
