Kaiju Decode

In a near future where colossal monsters, known as Kaiju, have become a global threat, a brilliant but disgraced scientist, Dr. Arisawa, is called back into service. He must lead a ragtag team of specialists to activate an ancient alien device capable of controlling or destroying the creatures. Racing against time as a new swarm of Kaiju descends upon Tokyo, they uncover a conspiracy far more dangerous than the monsters themselves.
