“Godzilla: Kaijū Wakusei (Godzilla: Monster Planet)” is set 20,000 years into the future, after mankind escaped the Earth due to the threat of extinction from deadly creatures known as “Kaiju” and Godzilla. Humankind returns thousands of years later to fight the monsters and reclaim their home planet. JB
