I thought it was interesting and mildly exciting for swaths. But the last quarter and ending were really weird for me. I didn't see the point and purpose, and it became a bit tedious... ironically when the Godzilla thing starts up again, but for no meaningful effect except lighting effects.

I'd give Shin more a 6/10. I enjoyed Godzilla (2014) more.
To each their own. If you like big monster fights, which is all the 2014 one was, then i can understand that. But if you like a good story with real world implications and a truly scary monster then in my opinion Shin is better.
