2024 is shaping up to be a great year for cinema. Despite the box office not always responding as it should, there have been major commercial hits like Dune: Part 2, Furiosa: From the Mad Max Saga, and the recent blockbuster Inside Out 2. Among all of them, however, there’s one film that stands out for its incredible spectacle: Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire.
The second movie that brings together Godzilla and King Kong was released last March and managed to gross over $570 million at the box office, having a budget of only $135. That’s why the future of the franchise is certain, and additionally, its success can go even farther thanks to streaming. The movie has just been publicly released on Max.
Ready for the most epic battle in history!
For those who haven’t seen it before, it’s an ideal time to watch it on the Max platform. If you have Apple TV+, you can complement it with Monarch: The Legacy of Monsters, a prequel that puts you in the context of the entire Monsterverse before it reaches the interesting point narrated in this feature film.
Defined as “a completely new cinematic adventure”, Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire pits the almighty Kong and the fearsome Godzilla against a colossal unknown threat hidden within our world. This epic action and monster film delves into the stories of these titans, their origins, and the mysteries of Skull Island and beyond, while uncovering the mythical battle that helped shape these extraordinary beings and unite them to humanity forever.
Without a doubt, it’s a movie that kaiju film fans must see, and it’s one of the reasons why, in recent years, we can rejoice for the way this subgenre is being treated.
