If you've managed to sit through the last two films, and you're still up for more, then this one ties up the story nicely.
Dont expect a mega monster battle....or any action for that matter. The plot focuses heavily on the human aspect.
It's closer to a Drama than a monster flick. Which is disappointing but not unbearable.

You've got this far, might as well finish it
Heavy on exposition, light on action
I liked the theme of religion in this third installment of a very divisive trilogy for fans, myself included. It dives into how manipulative leaders are to people who place blind devotion in them. That's about all I can say that I liked about it. No action, and almost no Godzilla.
Godzilla: The Planet Eater offers enough for monster universe enthusiasts but falls short of its potential
My daughter and I recently watched Godzilla: The Planet Eater (2018) on Netflix. The storyline concludes the trilogy as humans returning to Earth, now dominated by Godzilla and similar monsters, where they collaborate with the indigenous people. When an alien named Ghidorah arrives, the humans find an unexpected potential savior in their biggest enemy.
Co-directed by Hiroyuki Seshita (Ajin) and Kôbun Shizuno (Evangelion), the film features the voices of Kendall Quiniano (Somebody), Robbie Daymond (Spider-Man Animated Series), and Bill Rogers (Blood Red Sky).
Throughout the trilogy, I found consistent frustration with long, philosophical conversations that make the film drag. The "god" premise didn't resonate with me, and it takes until there's about 45 minutes left before the first monster battle. While the monsters and island inhabitants are well-depicted, Ghidorah's portrayal deviates from my expectations, resembling more of a stream of energy than the iconic three-headed monster. Despite an entertaining battle with Godzilla, I wasn't a fan.
In conclusion, Godzilla: The Planet Eater offers enough for monster universe enthusiasts but falls short of its potential. I'd rate it a 6/10 and recommend giving it a viewing.
