I watched Godzilla Minus One.

And actually I thought it was really good. There was real plot there for a change. It deals with topics of PTSD, guilt, forgiveness, family, and finding meaning and humanity in a war-torn country. Kind of like how the original 1954 version had a lot of themes.

And superficially, this is by far the coolest Godzilla’s breath weapon has ever been. It’s like a nuke going off every time.

The movie had a budget for under $15 million despite some expensive actors, and managed to do a whole1940s setting and lots of special effects. Some of the CGI was weaker than Hollywood but the breath weapon was better than any Hollywood treatments of the franchise.

being you said there was a good plot i just might watch it

For an action movie, yeah. A character arc, growth, etc.

It is a good movie as such.

It is excellent movie in this genre.

Especially comparing to trash produced by Hollywood nowadays...

The low budget was a strength imo. They really utilized every dollar. Best movie I have seen in years, and plan on watching the black and white version soon

I liked the "love story". I did not like the ending 😢.

Suspense was way lower than Roland Emmerich's Godzilla.

Definitely puts the big Hollywood blockbusters of those past years to shame.

I find the ratings there to be generally reliable. Never went back to IMDB ever since I made my account there many years ago:

And as you can see, this one is generally very very well received. 4.X ratings are usually top notch movies.

Thank you for the recommendation! Perfect watch for a sick day. I really liked it 👍🏼

It was like Kurosawa does Godzilla.
