The flying things were new/altered mechs called Vultures. As in "carrion birds built that thrived by feeding on Mecha-G". Only one part survived of mecha-G into that era.

The story is also what sets up part 3. That's what a large chunk of the film was about. That film is where we're going to get the big Kaiju throw down. It's all been building up to that story-wise. Why the aliens came to help Earth, and everything else.

Now part 3 on the other hand should have some flipping awesome stuff too. But the story itself was focused on what we saw on the human level interactions to prepare for that and follow the various stages of 'monster development' for this 'monster planet' and explore what that means at every level. Including how Battle City fits into that. And the vulture scenes were really cool too.

There's also some other little subtle things as shown with the tribe on planet too that explore some other themes about how this planet isn't as toxic as the off-worlders may think.

No I paid attention to the story, it's just not what I wanted to see. Like the first one it was like 99.9% talking and .1% action.

I don't hate the CGI, or the Godzilla design or anything, (though I'm not at all a fan of anime), but I'm giving all three a shot and so far they're just not really doing anything for me.

I do think Godzilla looks pretty cool though. But I like almost every version of Godzilla there's been, so....not too hard to please there I guess.
