Like its titular monster, Godzilla Minus One is an unstoppable juggernaut ready to take over the world. Originally released in Japan on November 3, 2023, Takashi Yamazaki’s epic monster movie continued to build momentum as it expanded overseas into different markets, earning raves from critics and fans as it went.
Inverse’s Eric Francisco was among the chorus, writing that “it is not hyperbole to say Godzilla Minus One is perhaps one of the finest movies of the kaiju genre ever put to screen since Ishiro Honda’s Gojira kicked off the franchise in 1954.” That was almost three years ago now. And while the hype may have shifted towards anticipation for the upcoming Godzilla Minus Zero, Godzilla Minus One is still a fan favorite and a modern-day kaiju classic.
