MemberMothra LarvaeMay-02-2014 10:52 PMSo, from all the bit of info i've gotten from the trailers, pictures, the OST leaked listing, and the japanese overview interview , i came up with , what i think , will be the timeline of the movie
1954- the japanese godzilla footage with the red lanterns happens, godzilla makes some appearances and they try to nuke him, he retreats back into the ocean
1999- Cranston and his wife work at the Janjira power plant in Japan, Cranston notices weird readings going on, and Urges the plant to shut down for the day until more results can be gathered , but for one reason or another, it's ignored.
Serizawa hears about a mine collapsing, in the Philippines and goes to investigate it, and discovers that it’s a tomb for a giant monster, the bones and remains are highly radioactive , they discover the giant remains all through out the mountain, and that it also housed something else. Serizawa and his crew then reach the end of the mine, , and see that the side of the mountain is torn out and it leads to the sea, leading to the power plant
Cranston notices something bad is happening and his wife is in the thick of it, i’m guessing she abandons the people and realizes she needs to make it out but can't get out in time, then Cranston hits the button to before the poisonous gas can reach the rest of the plan, and has to leave his wife, and the place collapses.
2014-
Taylor Johnson just comes back from a tour, he’s a navy officer specializing in disarming bombs, and just meets back up with his wife and kid in san fransisco when all the sudden he's called back to Japan by his dad. Wanting to Bring him back home and mend the relationship, he goes.
Cranston shares his theories and findings with Taylor Johnson, and convinces him that what happened in 1999 is going to happen again and that the stories of radiation leaks are from the government are just lies to cover up what is really going on . so they go to their old house and look for clues to support the theories.
When they're at their old house, they are ambushed by special forces and taken to the quarantine zone
Cranston gets questioned and interrogated, and gives his "it’s going to send us back to the stone age " speech, Which draws the attention of Serizawa, who takes him and Taylor Johnson to the muto spore site in Hawaii, and it's revealed that they're studying it / possibly using it for military application/ weaponizing. Cranston tells them how bad it is what they're doing
the muto’s have been feeding on the nuclear reactors of janjira for 15 years now and are awake and the government knows all about them.
this draws godzilla out of the deep , to fight what mankind has allowed to happen with the muto’s so godzilla is here to fix our mistake.
Serizawa takes Cranston on a navy vessel that is used as a command center and track godzilla, while he asks Taylor Johnson to pick up his nephew/son at the airport ( that's what i'm assuming anyways as to why they're both on the monorail during the muto apprearance)
the muto spore hatches, tears up the spore site, and goes into the jungle
they try to find the Muto in the jungle, and find out that he has an EMP attack that shuts things down ( hence why they have to do the halo jump later to avoid the plane just crashing)
godzilla senses the muto in hawaii, and has been following it, and finally makes it’s way ashore
while on the monorail , the flying muto attacks Taylor Johnson
godzilla makes it to the airport, and the muto and godzilla fight
the flying muto flees
they go to find the other spore, and see that it’s missing/ already hatched and gone
the other muto , the bigger none flying one shows up , in las vegas and wrecks the place, en route to san fransisco for some reason ( a theory i have, since if you haven't noticed , while they've showed plenty of the flying muto , they haven't shown anything other than just fleeting glances at the other muto, which i think WON'T fly, but will be MUCH MUCH MUCH bigger than it's flying counterpart)
Taylor Johnson saves Cranston from the Serizawa / military hold and the movie's "main character torch" is passed onto him
they follow godzilla to san fransisco , after assessing that information, they start an evacuation/ lock down of the city. And Taylor Johnson can't get in to his family
the muto shows up in san fransisco
godzilla shows up in san fransisco and all hell breals loose
godzilla enters the city, ( which is now on lock down ) and Taylor Johnson can't get in to his family
the muto’s ( both of them ) terrorize the city, and godzilla shows up , and the Military tries to intervene and kill them both, but to no avail.
Serizawa gives his " let them fight" speech
the military has a plan and needs to send people in via a halo jump, as anything at a lower altitude would just crash because of the EMP attack , and Taylor Johnson, seeing this as his chance to get in and see his family, volunteers.
it’s a suicide mission basically , so Taylor Johnson calls his wife to say good bye if anything happens. I'm guessing a nuclear bomb of some sort is gonna go off from a third party, and it wont effect godzilla , but that's why he's needed cause he can disarm the bomb . , i'm guessing that's why he's in different colored gear than the other halo jumpers, to differentiate him as the main guy and the bomb diffuser.
godzilla and the muto tear the city , and each other , apart
they decide to just let them fight, that there isn’t anything they can do to kill them but hope they
kill eachother and worry about collateral damage afterwards.
godzilla starts to get his ass kicked when both muto’s double team him
Taylor Johnson does something that almost sacrifices himself / Cranston does something heroic and actually DOES sacrifice himself, but it helps godzilla get his second win
godzilla uses his atomic breath and kills both of the muto’s
ends with Taylor Johnson meeting up with his son and Olson in the Stadium, ( there's a picture of olson kissing Taylor Johnson on the forehead while he looks all dirty and battle damaged in the stadium, and someone else stated that the last you see of Aaron Taylor Johnson is in a Stadium)
godzilla goes back to the sea until the sequel
that, people, is what nerdy fandom, too much free time, and insomnia can do lol

MemberMothra LarvaeMay-03-2014 2:22 AMThe red lanterns are not from 1954, they are from the last act of the film, in Chinatown (As said on the dedicated Empire article), and I have my doubts on if the part where Serizawa searches the MUTO is from 1999, but the rest coincides with what I think the plot will be. Great Job CB4087!

MemberMothra LarvaeMay-04-2014 12:50 AMHm I'm not sure we'll see Cranston ever leave Japan, I don't think any of the footage we've seen of him was anyway. That car crash in the B roll footage #1 could have something to do with it.
