Promotional art or the 2023 film “Godzilla Minus One.”
If you like my work, buy me a virtual cup of coffee at Ko-Fi.
Yesterday, I heard that Godzilla Minus One (2023) was on Netflix starting June 1st. I don’t have Netflix, but I checked and it was available to rent and stream elsewhere so I watched it last night. Lucky me.
This was one of the very few movies I wanted to see in the theater. From the start, it received terrific reviews and was an authentic blockbuster made with the fraction of the budget Hollywood spends on most of their crap.
On top of all that, it won eight awards including an Oscar for Best Visual Effects, an Asian Film Award for Best Sound, and Blue Ribbon Awards for Best Film and Best Actor (Ryunosuke Kamiki). This one hit it out of the park. But would it live up to the hype?
Yes, it did.
The movie wasn’t what I expected. I knew it was a period piece, set in Japan at the end of World War Two, but not much more.
Oh, Spoiler Alert: If you didn’t see it in the theater and haven’t streamed it yet and you want to be surprised, stop reading here.
