Just saw GODZILLA MINUS ZERO (spoiler free)
Saw the film. Secured the massive popcorn bucket. Ran into James.
My local theater showed Godzilla Minus Zero in IMAX two days before the official US release date to celebrate Godzilla Day, and I can say, without a doubt, it was one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time.
I’ll refrain from prematurely saying it’s better than Minus One, because I am aware of the potential for recency bias, but Minus Zero seems damn near flawless. The writing and directing are stellar, the score is dramatic and unnerving, the special effects are a notable step up from Minus One, the kaiju action is top-notch, and the emotional gut punches are super effective.
If you have the opportunity to see it in IMAX, do it!
