This has a surprising amount of modern feminism in it. The female lead in the opening scene screws up and gets fellow soldiers killed and
is demoted while we are still told she is one of the best. Then suddenly and for no real reason is just placed as the only female on the
all male team to train to operate mechagodzilla. After an odd training montage that appears to be basic training and nothing to do with actually operating the Mech we are told she is the best of team and will operate the Mech. She is the best at everything, even hand to hand over the male soldiers. Her acting is pretty bad and she mostly just walks around with resting bitch face. The story seems to ignore the original mechagodzilla movies and pretends they never happened.
The FX again are a mixed bag with the miniatures looking better than the very fake looking CG and bad green screen. Mechagodzilla looks like a large plastic toy. The practical FX do look pretty good and there is a fair amount of action if you can take the obnoxious lead female there is some entertainment to be had.
