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.

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

The result is a celebration of homegrown courage, with the vastly overpowered citizens fighting to protect the fragile progress of their rebuilt lives and to banish Godzilla back to the depths of the sea.

Rated: 5/5

Robbie Collin

Daily Telegraph (UK)

Yamazaki’s screenplay has subtly framed Shikishima as a stand-in for the nation at large, sloughing off macho Imperial dogma from underneath a suffocating shroud of survivor’s guilt.

Rated: 4/5

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.

... a film as much about the legacy of World War II on Japan’s citizens as it is about a giant lizard rising from the sea to wreak havoc on the island nation.

Morbidly Beautiful

Among the pantheon of Godzilla films, Minus One is one of the finest entries in the franchise’s 70-year history. It balances spectacle with substance, offering longtime fans and newcomers a reason to believe in the enduring power of the King of Monsters.

Rated: 5/5

Panos Kotzathanasis

Asian Movie Pulse

The presentation of the family drama and life in Japan after WW2 are as good as the depiction of the monster. However, the melodrama went a bit overboard and the usual lagging we see in Japanese films are still here. Good, but not as good as Shin Godzilla

Rated: 7

The best Godzilla movie I've seen in theaters! I saw Godzilla 2000 when that released, but that was nothing like this one. This was amazing and can't wait to own this when it's released....
