| 9:59 | Because of course the next logical step is to reach out and touch the terrifying monster. |
| 10:46 | Wahey, Charles Dance doing his actual job. |
| 17:53 | Skull Island mention. |
| 18:39 | You can't fly an Osprey down a lift shaft like that, crazy. |
| 27:41 | "Oh yeah, sure, let's bring him in for a beer." |
| 39:07 | Oh my god, it's got three heads. Horrific. |
| 45:02 | It's just like... why do I care if these massive things fight each other? |
| 59:22 | Flying monster taking out a whole squadron is deeply unpleasant. |
| 1:03:03 | Helicopter just crashed upwards, that's a new one. |
| 1:05:37 | Did Godzilla just flatline? |
| 1:06:56 | If they're waking up all the monsters, why isn't Kong in this movie? |
| 1:12:57 | "...and disasters we don't even have names for yet." |
| 1:19:00 | Hello submersible team! |
| 1:33:59 | It seems as though the code to the nuclear warhead was pressing 1 and then enter, which just doesn't feel secure enough. |
| 1:43:18 | I just have so many questions. |

Thoughts
Terrible film. It had very little plot, it made no sense, it was really hard to care, and where was Kong in all this? Why did everyone suddenly fly Osprey's everywhere? So much CGI, and for what? Dim and dusty shapes fighting each other at night and in water and barely visible. Bleurgh.
