Holy Crap! Seriously. Just… Holy Crap! This movie looks great. I’m really sorry to people who have loved the recent Legendary Kaiju Verse that has brought King Kong and Godzilla together, but this new film from Toho looks and feels way better than anything they’ve done.
Here’s what Tamashi Yamazaki, the film’s director, had to say about the new movie.
“Postwar Japan has lost everything. The film depicts an existence that gives unprecedented despair. The title Godzilla Minus One was created with this in mind. In order to depict this, the staff and I have worked together to create a setting where Godzilla looks as if “fear” itself is walking toward us, and where despair is piled on top of despair. I think this is the culmination of all the films I have made to date, and one that deserves to be “experienced” rather than “watched” in the theater. I hope you will experience the most terrifying Godzilla in the best possible environment.”
