"An H-bomb was tested close by on an island called Bikini, and it's very possible that the radioactivity turned the dinosaur there into Godzilla!" - Kenichiro Terasawa

Why watch this? This is the best of the grittier Heisei Era Godzilla films. It's awesome!

Plot Summary: Time travelers from the future attempt to prevent Japan's destruction by removing Godzilla from history. This attempt, however, inadvertently leads to the creation of the three-headed monster King Ghidorah, unleashed to subjugate Japan. Godzilla must return to defend Japan from Ghidorah and the time travelers' true, dastardly scheme.

Dad's Preview: This film gave us the first concrete Godzilla origin story, featuring a dinosaur, called a Godzillasaurus, that was mutated by nuclear radiation into the towering beast we know as Godzilla. In present day, aliens arrive from the future (of course), and attempt to help earth by erasing Godzilla's existence. Their true intent, however (and of course again), is to kill Godzilla, and use King Ghidorah to wipe out earth's future in the galaxy.
