Godzilla: The Planet Eater concludes the narrative of the anime trilogy, taking place after the events of Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters and Godzilla: City on the Edge of Battle. The film follows the struggles of humanity, their extraterrestrial allies, and Godzilla as they battle to survive against King Ghidorah. Godzilla: The Planet Eater was released theatrically in Japan on November 9, 2018, and was released worldwide on Netflix on January 9, 2019.
Following the destruction of Mechagodzilla City,[d] the remaining Bilusaludo on the Aratrum demand justice for Haruo destroying what they saw as necessary to defeat Godzilla. The humans disagree, believing Haruo exposed the Bilusaludo's true intentions of assimilating Earth. The Bilusaludo revolt and shut down the ship's engine room, forcing the ship to run on secondary batteries for the next two days. On Earth, Haruo learns from Dr. Martin that Yuko is rendered brain-dead with the nanometal in her body keeping her alive. He also learns that those treated by the Houtua survived the nanometal's attempt to absorb them, with Methphies deceiving the survivors into believing their survival was divine intervention. When confronted by Haruo about converting the remaining humans, Methphies reveals his plan to bring the Exifs' god to Earth and needs Haruo's help to make it possible. Dr. Martin advises Haruo to hide until tensions ease.
Haruo is escorted to a remote camp by the Houtua twins, Maina and Miana. Miana explains privately to Haruo that her people have no concept of hatred and that their concept of life revolves around "winning" (surviving and making life) or "losing" (dying and disappearing). She tells Haruo that he is "losing" and offers to "connect life" with him, but he turns her down. When Maina later extends the same offer, he realizes it was she who had rescued him, not her sister Miana, and accepts. Miana discovers Metphies telepathically communicating with Endurph, the Exif reveals his plans before capturing her, as she telepathically contacts Haruo and Maina.
Metphies later conducts a ritual with his followers in conjunction with Endurph to summon their god, Ghidorah, to defeat Godzilla. Ghidorah manifests as a shadow on Earth and partially through singularities, devouring Metphies's followers and destroying the Aratrum. Ghidorah then proceeds to attack Godzilla, who is helpless against the intangible monster as its heads bite Godzilla and drain his energy. Dr. Martin concludes that Ghidorah's true form exists in another plane of existence and is being guided by someone in their universe, Haruo finding it to be Metphies who had replaced his right eye with the amulet he repaired with the nanometal. Metphies proceeds to reveal that his people devoted themselves to Ghidorah since learning that their universe is finite and fated to destruction, having offered planets for the monster to feed on. Proceeding to telepathically assault Haruo, Metphies explains that the human's hatred towards Godzilla made him an ideal offering and tells Haruo that he must submit himself to Ghidorah as its witness to enable its full manifestation.
Maina and Dr. Martin use the Houtuan god's egg to psychically reach Haruo and reveal how to stop Ghidorah, Haruo learning that Metphies orchestrated the deaths of the Tau Ceti e exploration party so they could be "saved". At the same time, Haruo recalls the charm he lost the day he fled from Earth as a boy. Its image of flowers reminds him of the meaning of his name, "Spring", and the power of hope to overcome despair. Haruo then breaks free and cracks Metphies' amulet, causing Ghidorah to become affected by Earth's physics, and as such being ultimately defeated by Godzilla. Metphies dies telling Haruo that Ghidorah will always be watching him as long as he lives.
Time passes as survivors bury their weapons and integrate into Houtua society, with Maina pregnant with Haruo's child. Dr. Martin tells Haruo that he got the last remaining Vulture mech working, having discovered how to use Mechagodzilla's nanometal in Yuko's body as a tool to rebuild civilization as it was. Haruo's right eye stings, hearing Metphies's voice that this turn of events would ensure Ghidorah's eventual return to their reality. Taking Yuko with him, Haruo provokes Godzilla into destroying him and all traces of the living nanometal for the good of the Houtua. This prevents Ghidorah from returning as the Houtua continue to live alongside Godzilla; treating the kaiju like a natural disaster to be respected and avoided but not warred with.
In a post-credits scene taking place years later, Maina, showing signs of advancing age, watches a group of children conduct a ritual honoring Haruo, placing knotted strings representing their fears into a fire under a wooden effigy of a Vulture mech. Even in death, Haruo's story is used as a cautionary tale for future generations.
In May 2018, a teaser poster revealed the film's title, release date, and potential appearance of King Ghidorah.[8] In July 2018, the film's first teaser trailer was released.[9] In September 2018, the film's theatrical poster was released.[10] In October 2018, the full trailer was released.[1]
Godzilla: The Planet Eater premiered as the closing film at the Tokyo International Film Festival on November 3, 2018, and was given a theatrical release in Japan on November 9, 2018.[1] Released in 158 Japanese theaters, the film opened at sixth place at the box office and grossed 100 million in its first three days,[11] finishing with a cume of $1.5 million.[2] The film was released worldwide on Netflix on January 9, 2019.[12]
The Planet Eater, the third and last entry in the animated Godzilla trilogy released on Netflix in North America and in theaters internationally, is much better than the previous two frustrating installments, which were difficult to connect with both emotionally and viscerally. I reviewed both previous films and while I found Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters' biggest selling point to be its fresh take on the titular creature, I deemed its followup Godzilla: City on the Edge of Battle a "huge failure." Getting through the first two films may have felt like a chore, but The Planet Eater offers an emotional payoff and makes the trilogy as a whole much better when viewed as the conclusion of a single, ambitious longform story.

The Planet Eater follows protagonist Haruo Sakaki in his third face-off against kaiju, after meeting Godzilla on Earth in Planet of the Monsters and then luring him to the city-sized Mecha Godzilla facility for a showdown in City on the Edge of Battle. As teased in the post-credits sting of the second film, King Ghidorah appears here to confront Godzilla Earth in a final battle. Drawn with geometric CG and golden in color, King Ghidorah arrives to the roaring sound of thunder, bringing a sense of awe and intensity befitting his godlike status. More of this visually rich show-don\u2019t-tell approach would have made the appearance of Godzilla in the two previous films much more exciting.
While there\u2019s still not a lot of kaiju action in this final chapter, Godzilla thankfully gets a little more screen time here in what\u2019s been a largely talky series. The previous two installments omitted the kinds of scenes that fans of kaiju movies and Godzilla movies would expect \u2013 the wrestling bouts between gigantic monsters. While the lack of monster-on-monster action in this series remains a disappointment, the despair that pervades The Planet Eater is another important element in the best Godzilla movies. For all this seemingly boundless pessimism, though, The Planet Eater does at least propose the value in appreciating what we already have.
The Planet Eater boils down the essence of Godzilla movies to a metaphysical dialogue on monsters as it explores its themes of humanity and survival. It asks: What is the point in fighting a creature such as Godzilla, rather than simply accepting it and living alongside it? What is survival really worth? What is the meaning of civilization, and the damage it can cause? I hadn't expected this kind of philosophical thinking from a Godzilla anime movie series, but with this final film the saga\u2019s overall thematic aims came into sharper focus.
When taken as a whole, the trilogy also poses an interesting commentary on doctrines of mind control. In the first film, Haruo commits to military action and his people follow without question. The second film portrays a totalitarian state where the machine and the self are integrated. In this third film, the weary survivors turn to religion and form a death cult, which leads to a thrilling thread of human drama that could not have worked without the costly strategic failures that played out in the previous two films. It\u2019s a long trek through three films to reach this payoff, but when it does arrive it is gripping.
It\u2019s important to remember that the original Godzilla was not concerned with the future but with the past. Released in 1954, the king of monsters was unleashed on postwar Japan to prevent us from forgetting the atrocities we tried to put behind us, from atomic bombings to those lost in battle. In this animated Godzilla trilogy, the echoes of this message can be heard. Haruo certainly resembles Dr Daisuke Serizawa, the character in the original movie who comes to fear the weapon of mass destruction that he himself had created. But Haruo is an even more wretched character than Dr Serizawa because his cause is based on selfish reasons.
