Godzilla Minus One is a 2023 Japanese film directed by Takashi Yamazaki, returning Godzilla to his terrifying roots. Set in post-World War II Japan, the film dives into a country that has already been devastated by war and a nuclear attack. However, things only get worse as they are now facing the unstoppable horror of Godzilla. Unlike the MonsterVerse or previous versions of the King of the Monsters, this one is a pure force of destruction. The film received widespread critical acclaim for its emotional storytelling, stunning visual effects, and deep respect for the original 1954 film's tone.
