This is the fourth movie with Godzilla and the second with Mothra. A giant egg washes ashore after a typhoon. A greedy businessman buys the egg in order to turn it into an amusement park attraction. The Shobijin twins reveal that the egg belongs to Mothra and it threatens to hatch releasing a destructive larva. A reporter, a cub photographer, and a scientist set out to help the diminutive pair in retrieving the egg before it's too late. Then Godzilla rises.
I actually find the human story compelling unlike most of these monster movies. I still like the twins. It's got a good evil businessman villain. He's essentially opening Jurassic Park. Around the midway point, the story loses interest to me. The Jurassic Park idea is pretty simple and I'd like to stay with it. It is still a solid Godzilla flick.
