Critics Consensus

With engaging human stories anchoring the action, Godzilla Minus One is one kaiju movie that remains truly compelling between the scenes of mass destruction.

Audience Consensus

An instant classic addition to the franchise, Godzilla Minus One has terrific special effects and a really entertaining story to match.

The Atlantic

Godzilla himself takes up only a slim chunk of a run time largely devoted to people running around in awe and horror. That is why Godzilla Minus One is a great film rather than merely an impressive feat of monstrous visual effects.

It’s the rare kaiju movie that cares this deeply about the inner lives and motivations of the people scurrying out of the way of the monster’s ginormous thudding feet.

Irish Times

This prequel, similarly, yokes American imperialism, postwar malaise, survivor guilt and weaponised atomic power to produce the best action film of the year.

Rated: 4.5/5

After the forgettable North American versions, it is refreshing to see Godzilla in his own culture and context, where his destructive path has raison d'etre. [Full review in Spanish]

Looking Closer

Remarkable in how it preserves what has always been the sturdiest elements of the franchise. ... In doing so, it leans heavily on Steven Spielberg’s Jaws for inspiration, and a pivotal sequence riffs on Nolan’s Dunkirk without apology.

Rated: B

Man oh man what a ride this one was. I chanced the trip to Tucson in my van that is edging ever closer to 300,000 miles, and that is about the payoff I got. The plot is masterful, the creature spfx are enormous, and rightly deserved the Oscar it won, and the best part? There are no oxygen destroyers, no fantasy fictitious scientific weapons. Nothing but real life applications such as ship cabling and explosive laden aircraft to employ in their frantic effort to take the monster down. And the cliffhanger of the dorsal fin shaped radiation burn spreading across the female protagonist's neck was the best part. I sincerely hope that there will either be a direct sequel or that Yamazaki is tapped to do another kaiju film. I know I will be watching!
