    Just saw it today with my wife - it's our first wedding anniversary - and we absolutely loved the movie! Koichi's struggle with PTSD is one of my favorite plot points of the movie. While my wife was concerned it might trigger me a bit, it was very cathartic how his breakdown with Noriko was and how he made the move from seeking redemption through death to choosing to live. It was a truly moving film and easily my favorite Godzilla movie of all time!

      This actually links back to the original 1954 Godzilla movie.
      In 1954, the War and the Atomic Bombs were very fresh in Japan's memory. The original was very dark and bittersweet. Godzilla, an allegory for nuclear weapons testing and war, appears and unstoppably wrecks everything and leaves.
      However, the original 1954 Godzilla was extremely cathartic to the Japanese audience. Watching the movie allowed them to process the trauma and grief that had been under the surface. That's why the original Godzilla is so culturally important to Japan.
      I watched Godzilla Minus One with my SO and we both loved it. It was so good.

    I found GM1 to be a breath of fresh air from the usual Hollywood tropes. No rebellious teenagers, no marriage on the rocks, no quick-wealth schemes, no shadow corporate agendas-- just a simple story about people I grew to care about. America's been polarized for so long, that it's nice to see good people unifying to face adversity, even if for two hours. Let's see Hollywood make something more satisfying with just $15M. Go, go, Godzilla!

Because then you can’t just brush bad writing under the rug with tons of special effects scenes. As many people hate the Star Wars sequels now, just imagine. No one would watch those nonsensical pos if you only saw one lightsaber duel and space battle per film like it was in the OT. But the OT made so much more out of less action sequences because the story was compelling and when those lightsabers ignited, you felt excited and invested in the outcome.

    This movie was incredible! I'm hoping to get to see it a second time. I'd love to see more Godzilla content including your top Godzilla movies! I actually have 2 lists which ones I think are the best Godzilla movies and which are my favorites. Right now (subject to change cause def riding the hype train) Minus 1 is 2nd on my best movies and 3rd on my favorites both times it's right behind the original 54 and my favorite Godzilla movie is the original Godzilla vs Mecha-Godzilla.
    As for the movie itself, yes they actually wrote a complete good movie and didn't just phone in the human drama thinking "We'll just rely on the special effects to carry the movie!" Also Hollywood needs to take note cause this movie was made for $15M and looks better in a lot of sequences than some of these $200M+ movies. The scenes with Godzilla were awe inspiring, whether it be the tiny bit you get at the start or the Jaws like sequence they've shown in the trailers. Idk what it is but I LOVE getting to see Godzilla in the water, it's like an integral part of the character that we almost never get to see him in there so it was super cool to see that more. Additionally I loved that they took him back to his horror roots, that's two of my fave IPs that have gone back to their horror roots in recent years (Incredible Hulk being the other) for smashing success!

    1. Gojira
    2. Minus One
    3. Shin Godzilla
    4. vs. Destroyah
    5. vs. Hedorah
    Going to watch it again in standard sometime this week to see if that affects my opinion. I won't talk about the film too much to avoid spoilers for others but I really loved that despite being horrific and and depressing most of the time its main theme was affirmation of life and striving to go forward. It was just the right film for me to see currently, definitely needed that boost.

    I'm from Germany and honestly i would have loved to watch this with subtitles we only get dubbed movies here most of the time and it's really hard to even see hollywood in their original version here because they dub everything.

    Shin Godzilla is my favorite version, but Minus One is my favorite movie now. I never had tears in a Godzilla movie before

    SAME about godzilla CGI still feeling like man in suit. LOVED it. And G's man-hands felt very Shin, too, which made me feel concerned for Noriko considering her neck at the end. 😱

    My husband is a huge Godzilla fan and wants to go see this movie for his birthday this weekend. I could take or leave (usually preferably leave) Godzilla but I am genuinely excited to go see this with him.

    If we’re going with the timeline, Minus One event predates the 1954 Godzilla attack….. Even the Godzilla v King Ghidorah touched base on 1945 encounter by both Japanese Army and US Navy with a pre-irradiated Godzillasaurus…

    Saw this film yesterday, and wow, did I love it. This and The First Slam Dunk are my favorite films I've seen all year, with Oppenheimer third. As a Godzilla normie (I've seen the 1954 Gojira, Godzilla 2000, Shin Godzilla, and the Monsterverse films before Minus One), this is hands down the best for me since the 1954 Gojira. Easy 9/10 for me.

    Going into Godzilla Minus One, my top 5 Favorites were 1 - Godzilla 1985/TRoG (will always be Number 1 it got me into Godzilla!), 2 - Gojira/G:KotM 56, 3 - Shin Godzilla, 4 - G:KotM 2019, and 5 - Final Wars. The more I watch Minus One in the theaters the more my head hurts on rearranging my top 5!

    This is a film that I might never watch again because it hurts to watch. It is, ultimately, about many real things, that happened to many real people, and it concludes with calling us to make a better world in which none of that ever happens again.
    That said, I do hope not every Godzilla movie hereafter is as heavy as this one. Godzilla can be many things, which is a strength of the character. This movie is a triumph, but more "fun", "this is how we live with the world of nuclear power, which Godzilla is," type stories would be a good breather between the important films about "war is awful and then Man made the most destructive technology imaginable", because this is a painful film

    Every Godzilla movie except Shin Godzilla is an analogy for the horrors of the atomic bomb.
    Shin was different. It was an analogy bout the Fukushima nuclear disaster and the government's inability to deal with the situation or help the population. Hence the endless, frustrating meetings, committees, studies, and other procrastiations by the government in Shin. The anger of the japanese people towards the government after Fukushima was so great that Shin won Best Picture in Japan.
    In Godzilla - Minus One, Godzilla starts out as a force of nature, violent and revenge driven. Then Godzilla is mutated by the Hydrogen bomb test (you can hear Godzilla scream when the bomb goes off) and becomes much, much, larger, is the empodyment of nuclear weapons. and driven totally by rage. Godzilla is unbelievably terryfying from that point on.
    The humans in the story are completely helpless until the very end when they figure out what to do, but the movie is more about the human condition than just a "monster kill" type of movie. This is a very human-centric movies and the story is very, very relatable.
    See this in the theater. The score is sooo powerful, the movie is well worth your money.
    Out of 10 stars - well 10 isn't enough.

    10:00 Ryan, Godzilla is *literally* a guy in a suit.
    Yes it is a movement-capture suit that he's wearing, and CGI is layered over it. However one reason for the low budget is that a lot of the effects are real (guy in a suit) or animatronic, and then there is a final overlay of SFX. There's a Japanese video on UA-cam that tells a bit about how they did some of the SFX stuff. Search for the words ゴジラ-1.0 Behind the scenes
