Years before Gareth Edwards' Godzilla reboot ushered in a new era of kaiju movies in Hollywood, a rather small-scale project served three roles: bringing monsters back into vogue, spawning a franchise, and giving one of the industry's biggest producers a signature style. Not since Jerry Bruckheimer's testosterone-fueled, diesel-coated action movies of the 1990s and 2000s had a producer developed such a distinct aesthetic as J.J. Abrams did in the mid-to-late 2000s with shows such as Lost and the movie we're talking about here. Released in 2008, it also served as a stepping stone for directorMatt Reeves, who would go on to establish himself as one of the most respected mainstream filmmakers of his generation.
