it isn't just the best godzilla movie it is a great movie period.

The stunning CG & Visual Effect on a $15-million-dollar-budget movie is something that Hollywood should put into account.

This is probably one of the better SCs in some time. Really nails the intricacies of the movie and the time period.

This one one of the best movies last year… period. I get emotional every time I watch it. I’ve never gotten emotional over a Godzilla movie. It’s the human drama that really sells this beyond an epic Kaiju movie. Fantastic breakdown. Actually one of the finest. Big props to the writer, Brianna.

In the story, we are led to believe that Shikishima messed up by not killing Godzilla when he was smaller at the island, but it turns out Godzilla is the one who messed up by leaving Shikishima and the mechanic as survivors. They added value to their lives and fought to protect themselves. And won. For now.

[FunkesBlowhard]

Following the attack on Ginza I had a thought that has literally never, ever crossed my mind while watching one of these movies: Godzilla needs to die. That's how you know this movie is special, just an absolute masterpiece.

The mark on Noriko’s neck has been stated by Yamazaki in a recent interview, to be Godzilla’s cells not radiation poisoning

[PowerPandaMods]

When Shikishima is trying to find a mechanic, he goes far out of his way to find Tachibana. Even Noda says "We can find someone else", but Shikishima insists that it be Tachibana. This is because he needed a mechanic that wanted him dead in order to outfit his plane as a kamikaze vessel. Someone he didn't know would never agree to it, but Tachibana would do it. This makes Tachibana's forgiveness at the end even more profound.

I really appreciate how you did the war history research and tied it to this movie. Top-notch video!

[petesolo]

This was a great movie. You get so invested in the characters that you almost forget Godzilla is in this.

[dhruvhegde]

This is the first giant monster movie where i liked the humans more than the monster.

[lovegen-jgcl]

For your reference, the large white cylindrical building facing the reporters on the roof of the building is the main theater of Toho, the film's producer and distributor, and is called Nichigeki (Japanese Theater). It escaped the air raids of World War II and became loved by people as one of the symbols of Ginza. It is currently being rebuilt due to its age, but it has become a modern, cylindrical building that still retains its features.

The deep bellow Godzilla lets out after his head gets blown up and he starts to crumble, definitely reminds me of the scene in Jaws after Brody blows up the shark and you see it sink to the ocean floor and a deep roar sound is used

A couple extras Easter eggs:
When Godzilla attacks Ginza you can hear the Mothra motif before the theme starts again.

Another easter egg is when they are wrapping around Godzilla you hear a Modernized Version of the King Kong Vs Godzilla theme from 1962.

When Godzilla is being pulled up from the bottom of the sea, we see his eyes pop out and they are white. This is an easter egg to GMK Godzilla which his eyes were pure white.

The last shot of Godzilla can also be a callback to GMK where Godzilla's heart is still beating.


The director confirmed that the black mark is Godzilla cells and 2 TOHO monsters that heavily play a role with Godzilla cells are Biolante and SpaceGodzilla.

Maybe in the sequel a scientist gets a hold of Godzilla cells and tries to revive his dead daughter, since the people who survived Ginza most likely regenerated. This can set up another emotional story similar to minus one and also introduce us to Biolante.

Another possibility which is the safer route is that another monster exist which can be rodan or the most likely monster Angurius.

Not even ashamed to say this movie had me shed a few tears. It's an amazing movie

[terrenced]

Minus One was a brilliant film. So glad I saw it in the theater. After I left, and every time someone has asked me if the movie is good, I find myself going into how good the performances were and how compelling they made all of the human characters and their stories more than what happened with Godzilla himself. It definitely needed more Oscar nominations.

[denniskristos]

Finally you covered this exceptional film by Takashi Yamazaki. Not only is this an inspired masterpiece of Kaiju Eiga, but it's also a great piece of Japanese cinema in general. Excellent contextual analysis into Japan's post war socio-political-economic zeitgeist. Great job on delivering this and my props to the writer!

[snhimyx]

This movie had a lot of thought and feeling poured into it. I love seeing Godzilla, but really invested in the characters. I actually teared up and was worried one of our characters might die. I have never felt that way about a Godzilla movie

[lexsellsmerch]

I really hope it gets a part 2/sequel! Minus 1 is easily one of my favorite movies of all time let alone probably my favorite Godzilla movie. Just a perfect film start to finish

[Andrew-uupn]

This isn’t just a great Godzilla movie it’s great movie in general. This movie took me by surprise just how good it looks and acting and the story. I was literally in tears for almost the entire film. I really don’t like the American versions of the movies anymore they show so much lore but never really show it. And I love that this movie told us that Godzilla is the bad guy not the good guy that everyone needs to be save. This is probably my favorite Godzilla of all time and I have seen the old too and that’s saying something.
