edwards decided on a restrained approach similar to when films were fueled by a "sense of anticipation" and relied on "high suspense", citing "alien", "jaws", and "close encounters of the third kind" as influences. on why edwards chose a restrained direction, he stated, "i felt that in modern cinema it's so easy to just throw everything at the screen constantly." edwards also wanted "godzilla" to feel "universal" in a way that it could appeal to a general audience like "close encounters of the third kind". edwards additionally stated, "i grew up watching spielberg movies, what they did so well — as well as having epic, fantastic spectacle — they made the characters feel real and human. we were trying to do the same thing here." critics and journalists have also noted the film's nods to steven spielberg's style of filmmaking and influence from films such as "jaws", "jurassic park", and "close encounters of the third kind".
