	Movies - Godzilla 2000: Millennium

Godzilla 2000: Millennium was the first Godzilla film produced by Toho since the end of the VS Series with 1995's Godzilla vs. Destoroyah
. Toho released the film in Japan in 1999, less than two years after the release of TriStar's Godzilla
, supposedly in response to poor fan respose. TriStar released the film in the United States in 2000 under the truncated title Godzilla 2000, the last in the Godzilla series to make a U.S. theatrical run. This film effectively begins and sets the tone for the Millennium Series: It ignores continuity established by any previous films, instead preserving only the original Godzilla
(1954) and working other appearances into the intervening years.

During a time when Godzilla is still attacking power plants for food and eveything else, scientist find a 50,000,000 year old fossil which draws its energy from the sun. While Godzilla battles the JSDF, the UFO goes looking for a strong type of DNA to replicate. Eventully, an alien monster named the Millennian raleases itself from the UFO and begins to Mutate into the hideos monster Orga.

It was said that in Japan that a couple of hours of the films production was shown on the internet. When the Movie came to Japan theaters, you could get a Movie Program (called a Theater Program at Godzilla stores) and/or a Mini Godzilla figure. Even though it marked the return of the original Godzilla, it did neither good or bad at the box office, possibly due to popularity of the Heisei Gamera trilogy during the 4 year absence of the Godzilla franchise.
