Congrats to Toho, the Japanese folks for a masterpiece of a film. I don’t think this movie can be topped.

the portrayal of his ptsd and deep deep shame, the chosen family and love message being there but not forced, the political commentary, the depictions of true bravery, the HORROR aspects. i was blown out of the water. best theater experience i’ve had as an adult.

This proves you don't need a big Hollywood budget to produce a great movie, saw it on day one, the best movie ever made about Godzilla, I actually cared about the characters

This movie had me caring about every single character even the extras during the attack in the city. This movie was quite simply what cinema is all about. This was a movie about war, destruction, hope, fear, violence, self loathing, horror and the eternity of love. It quite simply a movie about human beings and how they must adapt in the shadow of Godzilla’s dispassionate destruction and find a way to triumph with what’s left. Damn. This movie should win the Oscar for best picture.

Wow! I'm 60 years and I never understood Godzilla until this video. Thank you for sharing!

I saw Godzilla Minus One last night. Breathtaking. Your review is excellent! This is so much more than a monster flick. It is about redemption, bravery, honor, and shame. It is a story about a man learning to love again after the war. Most importantly it is about forgiveness (Tachibana's story arc) and second chances and starting over. A powerful, powerful emotional drama. The best story I have seen in 20 years. The 3rd act drags a little bit but so what. There are scenes in this movie you will remember for the rest of your life. Just like "Jaws", this is a movie you can watch again and again and again and again. I will absolutely go back and see it again this weekend!

“Has your war ended, Shikishima-san?” What a movie. Best blockbuster of the year, period.

I really don't know if I have ever seen a movie that I'm still thinking about almost a week after I saw it. I'm glad it's getting a longer release I just hope word of mouth spreads because this is a movie that not only needs to be seen but seen on the big screen.

My husband had already went and seen this movie when it first released this month. But when he came back and told me he would 1000% go watch it again and had been convincing me to go too. I was hesitant because of the past Godzilla movies made by Hollywood which I just didn’t find deeply interesting at all even the 2014 one. So obviously, I had low expectations going to watch this one with him, but I was very wrong after watching Godzilla minus one. This movie was deeper than just Godzilla= monster I truly appreciated the writers and directors and the fact that this was a modern day updated version of the original Japanese one made it better. If you (and or your spouse) are planning to go watch this movie, it’s a 10/10 recommendation for sure!!

Amen! This film was so moving, I was crying the entire time. Can’t remember the last time I saw an “action” film and said “that was a work of art.”

I took my 11 year old twin boys and they loved it. Kept up with the subtitles and they preferred it being in Japanese. They are huge Godzilla fans and they both said this was the best Godzilla ever made. They loved the characters and story. I have been a Godzilla fan as a kid and this probably has to be one the best one I think.

This movie really grabbed me. For starters, my grandfather fought against Japan in the Pacific in WW2. This movie developed the post-war trauma and developed the characters so well I had the thought, "We should have never been fighting each other." Very strange thought. But, war is hell and this movie gets into that. My grandfather certainly had PTSD...something nobody could recognize back then. Even if this movie didn't have a monster it would be excellent. I, too, was moved to tears watching this. I was surprised by that. My kids absolutely LOVED it. On the way home after the first time we saw it (we saw it in the theater twice) they were telling me how they now understood how character development in a film works. That was really neat. Can't say enough about this masterpiece.

This movie was made by a group of people who went above and beyond what a limited budget asked of them. It was absolutely incredible to see, and I can’t appreciate everyone behind this film enough. If you remove Godzilla from the story and replace him with any other disastrous force, the gravity of the human storyline remains. This isn’t a Godzilla film featuring humans. It’s a human story featuring Godzilla and that is why it works.

What touched me the most about Godzilla Minus One.. was the redemption of Koichi Shikishima (the Pilot) at the end of the film. He was so sorry for his actions, and he felt that he needed to die to make up for his bad decisions which cost the lives of others. But the plane mechanic and his friends wanted him to live. There is flashback scene when the plane mechanic showed him the ejection seat and said one word: "Live." It gave Koichi a new opportunity to choose life, and he persevered and the film had a peaceful ending. This reminded me of Jesus Christ, who offers us forgiveness, redemption and a second chance. He gives us new life through Him. This was very meaningful to me and I just loved this movie.

Great job on this video. I am 59 and also grew up watching Godzilla movies. I went to see Minus One twice in 3 days. I did get emotional both times. Magnificent Film!

I have been a Godzilla fan since I was 7 when my mom rented a film projector, and 2 Godzilla movies on film reels showing them on a white sheet in the living room for my birthday party. So, while I love most of the silly movies, there's a reverence I have for the deeper movies that I have grown to love as I became an adult. I am proud to say I wept through the Fan Early Screening of Godzilla Minus One. I work at a movie theater and still tear up a bit when I pop into a showing to watch a scene during my work day since it came out.
