is a 2004 Japanese Science fiction Kaiju film directed by Ryuhei Kitamura, written by Wataru Mimura and Isao Kiriyama and produced by Shogo Tomiyama. It is the 29th film in the Godzilla franchise (28th produced by Toho) and the sixth and final film in the Millennium series. The film stars Masahiro Matsuoka, Don Frye, Rei Kikukawa, Kane Kosugi, Maki Mizuno, Kazuki Kitamura and Tsutomu Kitagawa as Godzilla. As a 50th anniversary film, a number of actors from previous Godzilla films appeared as main characters or in cameo roles. In addition, various kaiju (monsters) made reappearances, as most were last seen more than 30 years earlier. ''Godzilla: Final Wars'' premiered on November 29, 2004 in Los Angeles, California and was released on December 4, 2004 in Japan. Before the world premiere, Godzilla received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Director Ryuhei Kitamura has compared ''Godzilla: Final Wars'' to that of a musician's "Best of" album,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Godzilla Final Wars: Das Interview mit Ryuhei Kitamura )〕 stating "We picked lots and lots of the best elements from the past and combined it in a new way. It's what I love about Godzilla and what I don't love about recent Godzilla movies". ==Plot== Endless warfare and environmental pollution have resulted in the frequent appearance of monsters. The Earth Defense Force (EDF) is established. Mutant humans with extraordinary physical capabilities are discovered and are organized into an EDF troop called the M-Organization. Their main opponent is Godzilla, first sighted in 1954. After repeated battles, in the 1960s Godzilla is cornered in a crevasse at the South Pole by the original Gotengo and buried under an avalanche of ice after a Earthquake strikes the region. Decades later, an upgraded Gotengo, commanded by Captain Gordon, battles and destroys Manda, but in the process, the ship is wrecked and Gordon is dismissed from the EDF. At M headquarters, mutants Ozaki and Kazama spar before their next mission. A huge mummified creature is discovered off the coast of Hokkaido and calculated as being 12,000 years-old. Ozaki and U.N. biologist Dr. Miyuki Otonashi are sent to study it. They are teleported to Infant Island where they encounter the Shobijin, fairies of Mothra, who reveal that the monster is Gigan, an alien cyborg sent to wipe out all life on Earth who was subdued by Mothra. They warn that a battle between good and evil will happen soon and that Ozaki, because of his mutant capabilities, must choose between the two. They give Ozaki a magical sword. Suddenly, giant monsters attack several major cities. The EDF engage the creatures, who mysteriously vanish at the same moment when an alien mother ship appears over Tokyo. The aliens, named Xiliens, warn the world that an incoming planet called ''"Gorath"'' will soon impact the Earth. A peace pact is signed between Earth and the Xiliens. Ozaki, Miyuki, her sister Anna, and several others distrust the Xiliens. They discover that the Xiliens unleashed the monsters and also replaced several members of the EDF and political leaders with android duplicates. The image of Gorath was fake; nothing more than a hologram. Ozaki tells them there is only one person whom they can trust, Captain Gordon. After having their true intentions exposed on national television, the Xiliens explain the reason behind their invasion which was to use mankind as a food source. Using his species' control over M-Base, the Controller assumes control of all of the mutants except Ozaki. The others escape while M-Organization's leader Muasaka fights the mutants. However, their escape plan is partially hindered by a controlled Kazama, whom Ozaki is able to subdue. After the Controller awakens Gigan from mummification, the Xiliens unleash the monsters once more to destroy human civilization. Gordon convinces the group that only Godzilla can defeat the monsters and the group leaves in the repaired Gotengo to release Godzilla. Gigan is sent to follow and destroy them. The team awakens Godzilla, who battles and promptly kills Gigan by blowing up the cyborg's head. The Gotengo then guides Godzilla into battle with the other monsters on the way back to Tokyo. Godzilla first encounters Zilla and quickly kills him using his atomic breath, much to the Controller's dismay. Godzilla then battles and kills the rest of the monsters, including Kumonga, Kamacuras, Rodan, Anguirus, King Caesar, Ebirah, and Hedorah. The Gotengo returns to Tokyo to engage the Xiliens and destroy the mother ship but its shields are impenetrable. Kazama takes a fighter right through, destroying the shield generator and sacrificing himself, allowing the Gotengo to drill inside. The Xiliens beam on-board and kill most of the crew-members, sparing only four - Ozaki, Miyuki, Gordon and pilot Akiko Namikawa, who they take to the Controller. Ozaki is revealed to be a "Keizer," a telepathic being capable of controlling Earth's organisms. Deciding to stay loyal to the humans, Ozaki fights the Controller, also a Keizer. Godzilla destroys Gorath just before it crashes, unleashing Monster X. Gigan, revived and upgraded, aids Monster X, but Mothra arrives to counter the cyborg in battle. Both Mothra and Gigan perish as Mothra turns Gigan's own powers against itself (although it is later seen that she faked her death in the end credits). The Controller Attempts to put Ozaki under his control but is stopped by Miyuki, who uses the Shobijiin's sword to free him. Ozaki defeats the controller, who sets the Ship to self destruct. The Human Group escape the mother ship just before it it self destructs, and the Controller is killed in the ensuing explosion. Godzilla is still fighting Monster X on his own. Monster X soon transforms into its true form, Keizer Ghidorah, and starts to drain the life force of Godzilla. Ozaki transfers his "Kaiser energy" to Godzilla, restoring his strength and turning Godzilla into a Keizer also. Godzilla uses a red atomic breath to destroy Keizer Ghidorah. Godzilla then turns to finish off the Gotengo, but Minilla arrives, along with the hunter and his grandson, and stops Godzilla from harming the humans, causing Godzilla to realize that he must forgive mankind. The survivors watch Godzilla and Minilla return to the ocean. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Godzilla: Final Wars」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
