Bei einem fehlgeschlagenem Versuch, Godzilla zu bekmpfen, wird ein Tor zu einer anderen Dimension geöffnet. Heraus kommt eine Riesenlarve, aus der nach kurzer Zeit die Meganulas, gigantische Riesenlibellen, schlüpfen. Nachdem sie genug Energie gesammelt haben, verpuppen sich die Meganulas wieder zu einer bergroen Larve. Aus ihr schlüpft der Megaguirus, ein kolossaler Riesenkfer, der es auf Godzillas Energie abgesehen hat... (Verleiher-Text)

25) GODZILLA vs MEGAGUIRUS – ALTERNATE REALITY SERIES 1999-2001. Here comes Godzilla and with a bag of problems. The imagination of the writers of Toho is boundless, sometimes it seems like they are competing to see who can come up with the craziest stuff. Godzilla has a really tough opponent here: a government project in the form of a special cannon that fires – ahem – black holes that are supposed to "consume" Godzilla and wipe it off the face of the earth. And as if that wasn't enough, the carnivorous dragonfly-like beasts born in Tokyo's sewers and their mother, the giant Megagirasu, come into the picture and give Godzilla a hard time. There are also human emotions, here in the form of a young soldier whose boyfriend is killed by Godzilla at the beginning during one of the military actions, and she wants revenge (as in the following episode). Godzilla doesn't resemble a man in a rubber suit anymore and there’s plenty of digital effects, which negates the charm of the original Showa series, but you can't stop progress.

The film is not exceptional, and unfortunately, it is rather a classic spectacle within the kaiju genre. A big positive is the introduction of an entirely new monster, rather than just recycling the old ones. The battles aren't bad either, and although the integration with digital effects falters a bit at times, it's not too significant. Slightly above average, but the film overall tends to lean more towards average.
