I Can't Stop Thinking About Godzilla Minus One

[@AJJones-pw7uz]

I can’t agree enough. This movie left me floored. I was into the story and the characters from the jump. Driving home I said aloud to myself “that was AWESOME.” And the fact that the budget was only 15 million?! Best THEATRICAL experience in my adult life.

[@Luxington1]

I didn't see as many movies in the theater as I'd have liked to this year, but I saw: 1. Smile 2. The Whale 3. Past Lives 4. 65 5. Sound of Freedom 6. No Hard Feelings 7. Oppenheimer 8. Dead Reckoning pt. I 9. The Holdovers 10. Killers of the Flower Moon 11. Godzilla Minus One and Godzilla is the best I've seen all year. Idk about my adult life, but nothing else is coming to mind.

I may or may not ride the high seas, and I didn't for this. That dun, dun of the classic soundtrack was worth a million tickets and word of mouth praise. I cried each time the little girl hit a banger delivery. "Mommy," and, "Daddy," had me tearing up.

I took my dad out to see this the other day. Usually we see a movie and after he will be like, yeah that was okay. With Godzilla Minus One he actually clapped at the end, turned to me and said, "Wow, that was awesome!" This movie resonates and hits hard.

[@sandypandy67]

Same thing happened at the theater where I saw it. The audience clapped; and so did I. And I never do that.

[@notmephisto1375]

@@OtakuNerd94 that's great man. When I was a kid my dad had a collection of VHS tapes that had a lot of the classic Godzilla movies recorded on them. That's why I had to take him to see this and the movie triggered something special for the both of us. I think a lot of people are having the same experience with this and that's fantastic to see.

[@skikuro]

I fought tears, but I never felt so happy to where I would be having a big smile while watching a movie. I never felt that in years. No movie did that to me in forever. I was moved, and, in a way, I felt healed by this movie. I'm serious when I say this, but at this point, it's my #1 movie of all time.

[@riffhousestudios96]

It’s like this movie has filled a giant black hole that western media has recently created. We used to be so good at story telling, but recently we’re just void of anything that will challenge our imagination. I’m hoping studios around the world take notes from this movie. Go go Godzilla!

[@Kaijutopia]

Godzilla Minus One is a groundbreaking, emotional journey. It's not only a fantastic Godzilla movie; it's a marvelous motion picture overall. The ensemble cast is unforgettable. They're flawed, relatable, endearing, and worthy of our respect and love. Koichi and Noriko are, simply put, incredible characters. What these two achieved within a 2-hour film is inspiring. Godzilla has never been scarier. Unlike every other King of the Monster variant, -1.0 Godzilla is a ruthless killer. I'm a lifelong Godzilla fan, and I have always been fearless of the Big G until now. Director Takashi Yamazaki, Music Composer Naoki Sato, the entire cast and crew, along with so many incredibly talented VFX artists, deserve nothing but praise for delivering what might be the most excellent Godzilla film ever made. Godzilla Minus One is more than just a giant monster movie; it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience you have to see for yourself in theaters.

[@RFazor]

I went with my 82 year old buddy to watch this movie… the man thought it was silly to watch a giant T-Rex… the dude was crying like a baby throughout the movie, especially at the end This movie was a great movie and it just entered my Top 10 of all time…

[@nl4064]

Ive seen it twice now and still cant belive I cried both times. its just so incredibly emotional and a rollercoaster all the way through to the end, even for a man of 60 like me best film Ive seen in many many years

I did t care. I’m a lifelong diehard Godzilla fan who is secure in himself. I saw the movie 3 times and 3 times I was crying like a baby. A lot of personal issues were touched on. Plus, the fact that everyone in the world is showing love to Godzilla overwhelms me

[@michaelb9683]

You aren’t alone . I had to stop myself from leaking tear a few times with those small uncomfortable moments with the child crying or some of the awe inspiring moment . Godzilla was pissed and the allegorical connection to war and the horrors of it were spot on

[@andagi1920]

My thoughts exactly. A Godzilla film receiving this degree of attention and praise, especially from outside the fandom, has been a long time coming for us fans. The film and franchise as a whole were left in good hands with this film, and to receive it not only at the end of a year as chaotic as 2023, but right before the 70th anniversary of the series, is honestly cathartic.

[@Iceman19852003]

I'm not going to lie. I was extremely irritated when this movie was announced. The fact that they were not going to do a sequel to Shin Godzilla just didn't sit right with me. But after seeing this movie, I must say, its a modern day masterpiece. It deserves all the praise it gets! This film is a must see!

[@crcurran]

I hear you but I've come to realize that Shin is perfect as is and sequel might ruin it. G-1 is surprisingly better but in a different way so they both are great in their own right.

The more I consider it the more I believe I will pass on Godzilla X Kong “in theaters” because I don’t want to taint how wonderful this movie was and my theater experiences. I really only go to theaters for these G-1 experiences and not just any random flick. Minus One hooked me from the moment I saw the first batch of trailers and it didn’t disappoint.

Godzilla Minus One is medicinal... I LOVE how film fans around the world are purging their love & excitement over this film cause we have been starved of real, cinematic, entertainment for a looong time in theaters. This movie deserves all the craze cause it is the antithesis of what Hollywood is putting out, it's charming, it's fun, it's hopeful, it has characters that feel like real people & Godzilla is DA BOMB!

[@coreywigent7693]

[@shannonchurchill4556]

I've had a week to digest it, and listen to everyone's opinion, and it's an amazing phenomenon that this "little Japanese movie" has resonated so far and wide with audiences. I also saw it in IMAX, and it's just an experience that can't be beat. The sound (and feeling) of his roar in surround sound is what I've wanted since I was 5 years old. The theater shook like you were standing there in front of this massive monster. I'm going to see it in 4DX this weekend, and I hope it's as good.

[@crcurran]

I saw it in 4DX on Dec 1. If you are used to 4DX your experience might be better. For me it was my first time and most of the 4DX was distracting. There were a few scenes were it added but most was distracting. To be vague, the scene in the trailer in which she is in the train car that G-1 is chomping on that definitely felt like I was in that train car with her, airplane near the end felt more real, the boat rolling the sea. There is a button to turn off the water spray so I would turn that on only if I suspected something worthwhile was coming like the aircraft near the end. For me, I dont think I will do 4DX again since the Director/Producers didn't program it so its only trying to add something the creators didn't intend.

[@evanmaldonado9799]

I saw it in RPX, it was intense af, I felt his presence strongly, I felt every roar, footstep and explosion, it was a hell of an experience, Godzilla was just terrifying and absolutely menacing, especially during the beginning in Odo island, I got a bit of a jumpscare when he showed up roaring, that motherfucker was LOUD as fuck! I got goosebumps, the scenes with Godzilla had me astonished, especially that atomic breath scene, felt like watching an actual atom bomb going off, it was just fucking insane, never have I seen Godzilla this menacing with literal nuclear breath since GMK. I left the theater in awe.

I just got back from viewing it for the second time. Like you, I had to settle for just a 2D showing earlier last Friday. I was so compelled with it. Basically, it's a war-time drama, mixed in with a monster movie. I get chills thinking about the music played throughout it. This time I went to a much larger theater with RPX sound and with a better picture than before. It was MUCH better experience. Two moments in it still made me tear up. I like how it plays it downright serious toned, with a few instances of action. The director steers it on its own course. He does what Toho wants. Does some things Americans want. Rolls it all up and created this movie. I think this is one of the highlights of the year. Just a phenomenal film.

[@jessehutchings]

5:00 The thing about this movie is that most of the story is about REAL STUFF that ACTUALLY HAPPENED to real living people in history. No other Godzilla movie has made Godzilla's symbolism for war and human suffering such a front and center focus as Minus One. So, when we see the people in this movie we genuinely recognize them as real people. For American audiences just as much as Japanese this story is about our shared history and impacts that we had on each other. It's far more than just a monster movie because of that. It's a story about us as human beings and our shared struggles against nature and ourselves

[@BlakeTaylor-d1z]

I cannot stop thinking about it either. But in a negative way. This masterpiece should be more readily available for all people to view rather than just a very few select theaters and then gone. Now I have no choice but to see it on TV once it's able to stream.

I saw Godzilla Minus One in 4DX. It was a wild ride. The seats shake move around in coordination with the action on screen. When Godzilla roars... you get hit by a burst of wind in the theater.

Honestly godzilla minus one might go down as a film classic everything about it was incredible, the writing, the cinematography, the Cgi, the acting, the score. I give this movie a 10/10. This movie wasnt a godzilla movie, it was a Human story about War, Trauma, Ptsd, Guilt, Redemption and Heroism. Godzilla was just there to compound everything, a Force of Nature that is an Allegory for Nuclear power while also representing our main characters guilt and Fear, ww2 knocked Japan down zero, Godzilla put it at Minus one

For 15 million dollars for a budget, to have stellar writing and acting and special effects that hold up, it’s unheard of nowadays. It really shows how corrupt Hollywood has gotten, where they forgot to make good stories with good messages. Now it’s forced agendas which ironically defeat its own purpose because it makes everyone upset.

I mean it's Godzilla fer cryin out loud! But I now think it was the spirit of this movie. It is first and foremost a movie about the war, the two bombs, and the effect on Japan. I also saw scenes in it that reminded me of some of the Fukushima tsunami rampage in 2011. I also consider Japan my second home. So, understanding the historical context, the culture, the symbolism in the movie (Godzilla himself is symbolic) and then the exquisite accomplishment of the acting, direction, music and just everything came together in this masterpiece. I think it's a very important film, actually. Brilliantly done.

While I have my personal favorites, there’s never been a Godzilla film that I could just show anyone and guarantee they’d like it. There’s always some weird moment or low polish VFX holding the film back. G14 and Shin are close, but they both make choices that might rub people the wrong way, and they get some mixed reviews because of it. But not Minus One. It finally happened. They finally cracked the code and made a Godzilla film with an excellent script and acting, great VFX, and even a Godzilla who looks the way you’d imagine, with a healthy amount of screen time. It’s the highest reviewed Godzilla film ever, and one you could show to nerds, as well as your grandpa. Hell, you could even feel confident taking a date to this thing. It’s all just so vindicating. Like finally, the masses are starting to see Godzilla the way I do and it makes me so happy. As a mega nerd I am still debating if it’s my personal favorite but it’s absolutely in the conversation.

Had a Godzilla obsession in middle school. DEFINITELY need to find a way to see this with the absurd praise it's getting.

[@stevekasan3105]

The biggest strength of this film-in my top 3 of this year-is that it is set right after the war you see Japan and the characters trying to start their lives again after the atomic bombs. A lot of people have guilt over their actions and living when so many passed. Then, here comes this monster destroying their rebuilding, this time, the survivors or the people can get redemption That's what resonating Yes, Naoki San music is truly epic for this film

[@jonservo]

I have seen it twice and am seeing it again. Each time I watch it I notice something else. This film has so much meaning to be examined. The more I think about it the more I find. The last time I was struck with the idea that our main guy was rewarded when he finally made the choice to live. Up until the point he ejected from the plane he was never sure if he would try to live or try and find redemption by killing himself. Once he has firmly, finally decided to live he is rewarded with the return of Noriko, who he thought was lost. Maybe I’m adding meaning where it isn’t, but there seems to be so much more beneath the surface. When I first saw it I thought it was kind of a cop out to have her alive, but examining it from an allegorical point of view his redemption warranted a reward for deciding to live for others instead of wallowing in doubt. After 70 years I didn’t know if they would keep coming up with new ways of looking at the story but this film did it. Side note: I cried the first time, I cried the second time, I’m pretty sure it will get me the third time too

[@Rum-for-all-and-all-for-rum]

SPOILER ALERT : you make a very good point. In the beginning people berate him & he beats himself up for not dying. And he goes on this journey to where he *willingly* goes on a kamikaze mission and is ready to die & in the end he doesn't have to. The whole community comes together + finds purpose in battling Godzilla. That's what the movie is about to some degree. Oddly placed in a Godzilla movie.

[@jonservo]

@@Rum-for-all-and-all-for-rum odd maybe for legendary Godzilla movies or the sillier films in the franchise. I think this was a natural progression from the message in the 1954 original. That one was more of a general warning to mankind, whereas Minus One was a look at the individual people that make up communities. The lesson in this film seems to be that there is nothing honorable about sending your own people to their deaths, using them as meat shields basically. During the war, death was almost seen as a reward particularly for the Japanese whose society values honor so strongly (honestly it’s a problem most countries have when it comes to war). Koichi had to learn that there is more honor in life, fighting to protect but not by valuing life so little that it is thrown away. Man, I could talk about this film for days.

I think one of the biggest reasons this film was so good was the story. It was just perfectly executed. It was about shame and redemption. It was about love and regret. It was about a nation in mourning and rebuilding a better future. It was about a giant monster and little makeshift family. Everything felt epic, yet intimate. It’s crazy that we haven’t seen a movie like this from Hollywood for years and I think that’s partly why this film is getting so much attention, and deservedly so. It’s just a breath of fresh air from all the mainstream garbage we’ve just been seeing the last few years.

[@evanmaldonado9799]

I can’t stop thinking about it either, this movie has been living rent free in my head lol, I absolutely loved it, I saw it in RPX on Friday, it was intense as fuck, I felt his presence strongly, I felt every roar, footstep and explosion, it was a hell of an experience, Godzilla was just terrifying and vicious as fuck, especially during the beginning in Odo island, I got a bit of a jumpscare when he showed up, he was just loud as fuck goosebumps, the scenes with Godzilla had me astonished, especially that atomic breath scene, felt like watching an actual atom bomb going off, it was just fucking insane, I left the theater in awe. it was the solo horror Godzilla film I have been hoping to see for so long, such a brilliant movie, I really want to see it again in IMAX.

[@mindandbody7971]

I never in a million years thought I would be scared and emotional watching a Godzilla film. I got the same jumpscare!

[@everardo2345]

This movie was insane America doesn’t deserve to make movies on Godzilla this was a masterpiece

[@standepain]

Just got out from seeing it again. Just as good the second time around. I swear this is one of my favorite movies ever. The damn characters are some of the best I have ever seen in in a movie. Like you said you wanted to see everyone survive. Going to try and get one more viewing in if I can. Glad it's in for a little longer but this needs to be see by everyone.

[@jahpass]

1000% agree with you.I saw Godzilla Minus One last month(cuz I'm living Japan) then saw it again last night. I had exact same reaction you had. I got way more emotional than the first time. Especially the scene when atomic blast destroyed Ginza and its aftermath, When I see it for the first time I was just exciting because it was so dope but for second time , I could not stop weeping because I felt Shikishima's sadness and desperation.

[@WorldofGeekdom]

faxxxxxxxxx

[@CHRISMED2]

They moved the Godzilla out of the AMC XD theater, so next time I watched the movie I had to watch on one of their smaller screens😢 dammit, Godzilla needs the BIG screen!!

[@PeerlessScarred01]

2 times i was fighting back tears. Being a father this movie hit hard

[@lynchsman2069]

Ive seen in twice. Once in imax and 4dx. Im debating on seeing it again. Gojira is my all time favorite movie and this is literally my second favorite Godzilla movie of all time. Everything was just perfect in this movie

[@biz3678]

Hows 4dx? ive never seen a movie in 4dx and it looks pretty fun and im debating on whether to watch minus one in 4dx or imax, my first viewing was standard but it was still very amazing

[@ohmygollywow]

​@@biz3678I don't have IMAX in my city, but we got D-Box seats which are basically like 4D, and it was amazing. Definitely worth it for the sensory feels. I loved feeling his scales raise during his charge-ups. You felt more tension because you'd feel it even while he wasn't on-screen and the camera was on the people.

[@crcurran]

@@biz3678I thought a lot of the 4DX stuff was distracting but there were times that it added to it so as Komiko dangling in the train car (in the trailer) you feel like for a moment that youre in the same train car also holding on.

[@joshmedina5471]

It’s an absolute masterpiece! I genuinely like getting emotionally invested into media that I watch, and it certainly made me tear up 😢 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@chromaticperception]

this is exactly how i feel. i have LOTS of favorite movies. but somehow the more days pass this movie climbs up to be my number one favorite movie of all time. i could name soooo many reasons. the soundtrack, the characters, the story, the cinematography.....everything. one honorable mention i always say that you really feel the impact of everything godzilla does. they got that on point

[@clairdelune1806]

The film has also been released in France and has been praised by those who have seen it. However, unfortunately, it was only released for two days, and there were very few movie theaters showing it.

[@riffhousestudios96]

Everyone support the film when it releases on DVD!

[@redcloud16]

I JUST watched it. WOW. Blown away, Long time Godzilla fan. One of the best in the entire run of the franchise. Godzilla was always a metaphor for the atomic bomb. THE SCENE reminded me of the Hiroshima Bomb Museum when I went to that. Like, I nearly broke down right in the theatre. Like fuck. Im still thinking about it. Like shit man. A masterpiece. My sis and I have recently talked a lot about movies made with passion and for art; versus mindless hollywood vomit ... this movie is a work of passion and art. Watch it.

[@kevinsmoon3257]

This movie did the humans perfectly. It MADE us care it didnt TELL us we’re supposed to care like king of the monsters. I dont even remember millie bobby brown’s name in the movie yet we’re supposed to care about this family and their divorce because the movie tells us to. In this movie you root for the humans so hard because they are written so well

[@douglaseddins5773]

I couldn't agree more. I saw it Sunday and I can't stop thinking about it either! I appreciate this movie being made so much. I hope Hollywood is taking notes because this what the audience is starving for. Good character development and character arches. Filmmakers and studios are so focused on checking off all the diversity and inclusion boxes they turn their backs on writing a good story. This is pwhat's
