I just finished watching Godzilla Minus 1, thanks to a friend sending me a screener he got.
I have to say that in my opinion this film is the best Godzilla film ever produced, and yes I'm including the original. This was a solid film with a serious, well written storyline. The story was not simply about a monster destroying Japanese cities. It was the story of a Japanese pilot who survived WW2 and came home feeling that he shouldn't have survived because he failed to do his duty on two occasion. He comes home to find that his girlfriend now has a little girl that survived the bombings of Japan. He doesn't accept this ready-made family because he can't free himself of the ghosts of the past. Now add in Godzilla and this guy getting caught in the middle.
This film has some great monster FX and brilliant camera work. And, amazingly enough it was made on a fraction of the budget of either Shin Godzilla or any of the most recent Monsterverse films.
I hope when this film comes out on DVD/Blueray that it has an English dub because I want to enjoy this film without having to strain my eyes reading subtitles. This is a film I nwill feel honored to add to my collection. 5 stars Awesomtacular!!!!!
