Ford is still hanging out in the nest, staring blankly at all those eggs.  I think he’s supposed to look overwhelmed and contemplative, but he really just looks like he’s staring at a wall.  Probably a green screen.  Maybe he was having a hard time picturing what he was supposed to be reacting to.  He suddenly snaps out of his reverie, finds a conveniently-located smashed gas truck, opens a valve, and lets the fuel run free.  It would be relevant for me to point out that there are small fires burning here and there from all of the monster smashing.

Speaking of monsters, Godzilla is looking rough.  The MUTOs are really about to win this when all of a sudden the giant explosion from the nest grabs their attention.  She-MUTO shrieks and runs off to help her babies.  Godzilla takes advantage of this distraction and attacks he-MUTO.  Brawling ensues, but finally Godzilla is able to swipe he-MUTO with his tail right into a building.  He-MUTO at last is dead.

Ford got messed up a bit by being a little too close to the explosion, but he’s still on his way to the boat.  The team is on the boat with the bomb and is trying to make a break for it when she-MUTO, in a fit of motherly rage, comes back for the nuke.  She shoots out an EMP and the boat dies.  All soldiers except Ford die.  Ford is on the boat trying to disarm the bomb but he’s having a lot of trouble.  She-MUTO decides to go after the little boat – like it’s just a wrapper on her nuke snack that she can discard later.  As she lunges at the boat, Godzilla suddenly appears and grabs her.  In another “coolest scene ever”, he pries open her jaws and shoots his blue fire right down into her throat, then tears her head off! 

Godzilla is worn out from all the fighting and his own injuries and collapses on the ground near the ocean.  Awww…sad.  Doesn’t he do this in all of his movies?
