Godzilla (2014) in Melbourne – fun with numbers
No spoilers below, so you can read on if you haven’t seen this entertaining
film.
According to IMDB this 2014 Godzilla is “355 feet” tall (108 m). I knew this before I saw the film, but still thought the producers got the scale wrong when he (?) was fighting in the city. I now think I’m wrong and they’re right. He is huge!
I work on level 28 of 333 Collins St – the top level. My memory is an average level is 10 ft, so I’m about 300 feet up (91 m). But the Big G would still be 55 feet (16 m) above me at work.
To say Hello, could he make his way up Port Phillip Bay? Yep, easily. It’s average depth is 26 ft (8m). So, just above G’s ankle.
And finally this is Melbourne so I gotta get the MCG in here. Well, I can get it in, but Godzilla probably can’t get in. IMDB says his tail alone is 550 feet long (167m). The widest part of the playing field of the MCG is only 160m. So even just hit tail wouldn’t quite fit…
