Indie film by Nacho Vigolondo, features our favorite award-winning actress as Gloria and former SNL cast member Jason Sudeikis as Oscar. No motion-capture for the Kaijus though they've schemed and mapped the primary kaiju's actions based on Hathaway's scripted physical actions on set (VERY INTEGRAL to the film's narrative).
Kaiju action's alright and the drama's nice, more so when things pick up as Anne's character realizes the true nature of her kaiju. Seems predictable that her Kaiju is a metaphorical manifestation of her shittiness as a person.
Alright indie film, good Kaiju movie but not for the diehards of the genre. Of course, Anne Hathaway as a butt-monkey character is a nice contrast to her typical typecasts. Also, she was pregnant at the time of filming.

Wasn't this the one that almost got banned cause they tried to use the Godzilla name without permission?

I remember there was some big stink about it when it first came out, and never really understood what the big deal was?

They tried to call it Godzilla but it's not actually Godzilla and Toho pitched a fit (as they should have).
