He's back - again! Years after the end of the Heisei era, the big G came back to film in 1999 with the first of a new era: Godzilla 2000: Millennium. Directed by Takao Okawara (Godzilla Vs. Destroyah), a new look Godzilla is still harassing Tokyo, with the Godzilla Prediction Network out there trying to figure out where he'll show up next. To make matters worse, the government's Crisis Control Intelligence care more about firing missiles, but everything changes when they discover a mysterious meteor has a UFO inside. All of this results in Orga, a kaiju made from Godzilla's DNA, and of course it's up to the Big G to kick it's ass back to space. Scoring Godzilla 2000 was Takayuki Hattori, who had previously composed 1994's Godzilla vs Spacegodzkilla. Hattori's music is very much about mood; the composer brings a sense of lyricism to proceedings, but of course, he also knows how to get us excited for Godzilla's appearances. Hattori does that with a spectacular new theme for the Big G that perfectly captures the creature's grandeur and immense power. There's also a fantastic piece for the UFO that has a wonderfully primevil beat, and of course, Akira Ifukube's classic theme for Godzilla returns in a big way. A perfect start to the Millennium era!
