I rather enjoyed seeing the bureaucratic red tape behind a Gojira attack play out, and also liked watching the little derp evolve right in front our very eyes.
Also loved how the lower-level female scientist was always right about everything and that, in the end, the nerds won.

A great movie about an eclectic group of individuals who attended a general assembly that was dissolved prematurely by an act of violence that one group was framed for (also the cops, of course). That group was then split up and had their own crazy odysseys when trying to just make their way back home.
An engaging tale oozing with really great style.

A beautifully shot movie with a great score about a cop that's not very good at his job going after a counterfeiter-killer-artist-dance appreciator that's quite competent at his. Also, there's a really good car chase.
I liked this a lot.
