Alright. I knew nothing about this movie before I went into it. I'm a Godzilla fan but haven't really enjoyed the Western version of Godzilla movies beyond watching them as eye candy/cheap-thrill/forget-as-you-leave-cinema/switch-off-brain type movies.
Very rarely do we see GOOD movies that actually have a good plot and a storyline that sticks to quality script writing, screenplay and keeps you engaged for all the right reasons
Vs
Throwing a bunch of explosions, music and constant "something happening" to make up for lack of quality filmmaking.
Godzilla minus one... Is just a good movie. Japanese cinema slows things down and focuses on the quality of what's happening in the moment, in every moment. I was drawn to every part of the film and the story was about the humans with Godzilla in it, not about Godzilla.
I don't even know what to say. I don't want to say much. Don't go into it thinking "this is Godzilla a highly rated film".
Just go in, sit down and enjoy the ride.
I often watch low budget movies because the focus is on the story and not having a lot of pointless fillers to flesh out the movie.
This film does exactly that in a way that stays with you and leaves you thinking about the movie for days after you've watched it.
Highly recommended :)
