Godzilla Minus One

[meStevo]

This is now on Netflix, and worth a watch to see what competent moviemakers do with a mere $15m budget.

Classical and incredible modern monster movie. The first Godzilla movie to win an Oscar (best VFX).

I bought this on Vudu this morning, then I found out from a friend 2 hours later, that it was on Netflix, which I was not expecting at all, hate wasting money.

Yeah, the rights are sticky with Godzilla, which is why this was streaming I think a month or more ago in Japan on Prime but nowhere else, and why I think it suddenly released the way it did on subscription streaming as well as VOD.

Everything was complicated by the Godzilla x Kong movie, I read at one point that we might have to wait a year for it to come to streaming in the US, glad that ended up not being the case.

I really wanted to see this in theaters and missed it, was kinda hoping it would have taken a victory lap for a weekend after the Oscar win, but nope.

Saw -1 theatrically; surprised myself that I would even do a monster movie.

Even with subtitles it was a really solid monster flick.I enjoyed it.

Tried to see this in the theater with my wife, and when she found out it was entirely in Japanese and we'd have to read subtitles, she refused to see it then. Watched it later on streaming, and it was awesome!

In dubbed English or Japanese with subtitles?

I watched the trailer and it was in dubbed English.

With Netflix, you get a choice, I believe the VOD version is only in Japanese with english subtitles.

I watched it on Netflix and it was all in English (except for signs and correspondence in Japanese which had English subtitles).

The movie itself was fantastic! I grew up with the black & white “man in a rubber suit stomping through miniature Tokyo set” and the CGI was excellent. I heard this had a pretty small budget, but you could fool me as everything looked extremely well done. And one big change from the Godzilla movies of my youth was actual characters and their development.

I would watch this again!

Shame Hollywood can't figure out how to make a decent movie on a similar budget.I sure didn't feel like I was watching a cheaply made movie with Minus 1

There were some shots of Godzilla that looked more like a character rendered for a video game.

But again, based on the budget, that was to be expected, overall a great movie.

I was impressed more by the special effects showing so much destruction then Godzilla himself.

 

[Foxbat]

Did you ever watch “Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow”? That was a really low-budget film that had most everything shot in green screen. Very few practical effects.

It’s pretty cheesy, too, but it has almost all the Sci-Fi tropes from the mid-20th Century movies.
