After hitting the big screen in its native Japan 🍒on November 3, Godzilla Minus One is about to make its way overseas – and it's a hit with international critics. 

A new kaiju movie made by Japan's Toho Studios, Godzilla Minus One is set in post-war Japan. Per the movie's official synopsis, "Japan's economic state has been reduced to zero. Godzilla appears and plunges the country into a negative stat♏e." Directed by Takashi Yamazaki, the film follows a former kamikaze pilot plagued by survivor's guilt who ends up fighting against Godzilla with the crew of his mine removal ship.

, it "delivers everything you could want from a monster movie."

Meanwhile, 's verdict is that it's "a rousing, spectacle-filled blockbuster, Godzilla: Minus One takes the king of t🎃he monsters back to his roots i▨n post-WWII Japan. The story is character-driven, but the monster scenes are exciting and effective." 

review says that the film "returns the titular beast to its roots as a metaphor for Japan’s postwar anxiety and grief, in the process delivering a stirring speܫctacle that also contains a palpable emotional undercurrent."

"Yamazaki holds back on the series essentials so they have more force when deployed: only after a complicated character drama does the fully-formed Godzilla wade into frame to become the central focus of the film," says 's reviewer. "Along with its 1950s setting, the film embraces 1950s populist storytelling conventions – seesawing from tear-jerking self-sacrifice to heroic 🐎survival, all the while treating its star with the respect due a seventy-year-old icon."

Godzilla Minus One is set to open in the US on December 1, with a UK release following on December 15. In the meantime, check out our guide to the other biggest and most exciting 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming movies on the way in 2023 and beyond.
