Gotta give them credit, the Rebirth of Mothra films all find a way to make Mothra be reborn, and I appreciate that.The third installment really cements the idea that this trilogy was all about the three fairy sisters, and in particular, gives Belvera a good redemption arc that is anchored in the concept of family, and requires a generosity of spirit from the twins and the audience both. It's also dripping in spiritual mumbo-jumbo, but that's kind of par for the course with Mothra films. Very nice of Toho to let this side-franchise use King Ghidorah (the very best of the villains). It's after the world's children so as to provoke the mass extinction of the human race, presumably, and sometimes, the only way to beat an unbeatable giant monster is to go back in time to when it caused the mass extinction of the dinosaurs (that, in itself, is a delicious detail which leads to some fun sequences) and destroy it in the past. Like its predecessors, Rebirth of Mothra III is just the right kind of insane, which makes up for it green screen work which is... not good. 4 years 3 months ago
