Godzilla 2000: Millennium

Plot[edit | edit source] Godzilla, the giant amphibious creature, is regarded as a literal force of nature in Japan; the Godzilla Prediction Network (GPN) functions independently to study Godzilla and predict his landfalls. Meanwhile, the scientists of Crisis Control Intelligence (CCI) find a sixty-million-year-old unidentified flying object (UFO) deep in the Japan Trench. As CCI attempts to raise the UFO to study it, it takes off into the sky on its own. Godzilla arrives in a village and then battles the Japan Self Defense Forces, now equipped with powerful Full Metal Missiles, until the UFO appears, searching for genetic information that only Godzilla possesses. It fights Godzilla, driving the latter underwater, and then lands to replenish its solar power. Yuji Shinoda, the founder of the GPN, discovers the secret to Godzilla's regenerative properties, but so has the UFO. It frees itself from the JSDF's attempts to contain it, and heads for Shinjuku. After landing atop Tokyo Opera City Tower, it begins to drain all the files about Godzilla from Tokyo's master computers. As it begins to alter the oxygen content of the surrounding atmosphere, CCI attempts to destroy the UFO using explosive charges, but Shinoda, attempting to find out more about the extraterrestrials, is nearly caught in the blast. He survives, and joins his peers on a nearby rooftop, watching the UFO. Almost in response, the UFO broadcasts its message of invasion and creating a new "thousand-year kingdom" on Earth, and Shinoda reveals that the extraterrestrials are after the regenerative properties contained inside Godzilla's DNA so that they may use it to re-form their bodies. Godzilla arrives and again battles the UFO. However, he is subdued by the UFO's assault, and the UFO absorbs some of Godzilla's DNA, which the extraterrestrias use to reform themselves outside the spaceship as the gigantic Millennian. However, the Millennian is unable to control Godzilla's genetic information in the DNA and mutates into a deformed creature named Orga. Godzilla recovers and brings down the UFO before fighting Orga, but Orga, having absorbed the regenerative properties of Godzilla's DNA, is highly resistant to injury. Orga retaliates and extracts more of Godzilla's DNA to become a perfect clone. Godzilla breaks free and sets Orga ablaze with his atomic breath attack, but Orga re-emerges and attempts to swallow Godzilla whole. As Orga begins to transform, Godzilla charges a nuclear pulse and unleashes it, vaporizing Orga's entire upper body and killing it. As Godzilla approaches the observing humans, Mitsuo Katagiri, head of CCI, refuses to back down and chooses to confront Godzilla, and is killed when Godzilla partially destroys the roof of the building where he, Shinoda, and the authorities were observing the battle. Those remaining on the roof reminisce on how Godzilla was wrought by human ambition, prompting Shinoda to suggest that Godzilla exists in them, as Godzilla begins rampaging through Tokyo and destroys the city with his atomic breath attack.
