There's a lot of focus on Warner Bros.' Godzilla: King of Monsters since footage is expected to debut at Comic-Con, but Netflix has just released Godzilla: City on the Edge of Battle, the sequel to last year's animated feature Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters. The new movie picks up where "Planet of the Monsters" left off, with Haruo and his team looking for a way to defeat the largest Godzilla we've seen to date. This time, they put their hope in the abandoned Mechagodzilla facility and have an unexpected encounter the indigenous Houtua tribe.
There's a surprising lack of Godzilla in "Planet of the Monsters," but I'm hoping they address that in the sequel. Either way, those looking for their Godzilla fix that haven't seen the first movie may want to give it a try to see a futuristic take on the Godzilla story. We've included the trailer below, and head over to Netflix to check out the movie for yourself!
