Who is the real monster?
Godzilla Minus Zero will hit the theaters on November 6th, This is the following story to Godzilla Minus One, but if you haven’t seen it, it does not make the movie hard to understand.
Synopsis
Two years after the ordeals and the scaring left by facing the kaiju, the Shikishima family must now face a new monster, as King Ghidorah is now causing havoc. And now Godzilla awakes, how can Japan rebuild after the war with all the kaiju destruction? Some scars are deeper than others.
Perfect photography
Costumes, camera angles, lighting, are elements most often forgotten in action movies, but for Godzilla Minus Zero, it is all there even the colors are on point, it truly feels like you are in post war Japan. The representation of the large creatures is well used and does not take away from the rest of the events.
The right mix
This movie is a blend of styles, you have the monster movie that everyone expect when they see the name Godzilla, but there is also the melodrama of the Shikishima family that must again live the attack of a kaiju. Having Ghidorah and Godzilla battle it out, was what the fans of the genre wanted, but the human drama that was presented added depth to the story.
Final note
Godzilla Minus Zero is what fans of the monster movie wanted to see. At the press screening the movie was in Japanese with subtitles, if this is not for you, you may need to wait for it to be on streaming services so you can watch it dubbed in the language. The movie was definitely HOT, even is the young Akiko cries can sometimes be a bit much. If you can go see it in IMAX, it is worth the extra charge.
