Cloverfield
No, this is about the guy, who, after seeing Godzilla, decides to return to downtown Tokyo in response to a telephone message from an ex-girlfriend who needs to be rescued. And, his dumb friends decide to join him on his suicidal quest, before the "Atomic Breath" toasts everything.
The writer and producer vex those of us who wonder about the nature of this monster, (much as Hamlet feigned madness to a vexed Polonius by pointing to a cloud, which he said was "like a whale"). No scientist explains its nature, in this film, thus, no explanation is necessary. Its rampage, tremendous size, immunity to injury, etc. have no bearing on the story, (they say). In my view, if one wants to make an American version of Godzilla, (without admitting to its being a tawdry imitation), one claims that the monster's origins are unknown and irrelevant to the story, (like the origins of the current conflict in Iraq). Some people really don't care to know about its logic and origins, they're only concerned that they're not winning the fight.
