Message: [QUOTE="Palatine, post: 5013664, member: 974"] [B]Godzilla. Minus One. (2023) [/B]This movie has received a lot of pub for the special effects crew of only eight (count 'em 8) people.The effects are very good with a few small exceptions, the opening plane landing scene and the larger ships cutting through the water, but these are nits. The Godzilla stuff is done well and handled in a realistic fashion. They play it straight. It works. What really deserves more attention is the way they handled the Japanese relationship to the war and its aftermath. They don't focus on the bomb or the Americans. They focus on the human toll that was on the backs of the Japanese people. This is layered and dramatic. It could be a film by itself. The war has a larger effect on characters than the monster. This is very good movie making and a very good story. Yes, it's a Godzilla movie. But it is worth your time and deserves all the praise heaped on it. Three and a half stars. [/QUOTE]
