" A stunning achievement in Japanese celluloid that had me in literal tears at the goal . "
In case you hadn’t heard, there’s a new Godzilla movie roaring into (US) theaters today…Godzilla Minus One. And ~spoiler alert~ it is fan-freaking-tastic.
Set just after World War II, when Japan had no self-defense force or armaments, the film explores a story where “what if” Godzilla came to Japan while it was completely disarmed.
Without giving too much away, let’s just say that this is not your typical monster film. Yes, Godzilla himself is awesome and horrifying (and looks AMAZING thanks to some top-notch visual effects), but themes of post-traumatic devastation and the ongoing, generational horrors of a post-nuclear war (the first the world had ever seen) are also explored to heartbreaking effect.
And people who’ve already had a chance to see the movie are OBSESSSSSED:
