Early military screening of it at my base. I had been anticipating this movie for years now, so naturally I was in line hours before the doors opened.
I won't reveal any plot points, but I will say I heartily recommend this movie. Everyone in the theater seemed to like it as well, judging by the "climax of the climax" drawing uproarious applause. Everyone also laughed when a Japanese guy said "Gojira" for the first time which probably wasn't the intent of the film-makers, but that's just because saying "Gojira" like that has long since become a joke. No biggie.
The human characters were all pretty likable and compelling. There were some... quirky bits when it came to the science and military aspects, but nothing too glaring that it took me out of the movie for long, and I was completely absorbed during the climax. The worst parts of the whole thing were that I was assigned to a seat pretty far back in the theater (I'm a bit near-sighted) and that it was shown in 3D, which I've never been a fan of. The 3D wasn't bad or anything, I just don't like it. I also think that it ended EXACTLY when it should have, though I'm not sure if others would agree with me on that.
I don't know how much the opinion of some random anonymous internet guy matters to you guys, but again, I was not disappointed despite my lofty expectations. I'll probably pay to see it again in theaters later, though with a closer seat and no 3D.
