Godzilla Minus One Teaser

[mZuzek]

I saw it, yeah, it's amazing. Some great cinematography, acting, writing, score, the mood is bleak but it keeps finding a way of giving you hope through this family that stumbled into one another. It kinda reminded me of Grave of the Fireflies, though it's not that sad. I also wasn't expecting it to feel so much like a "remake" of the 1954 original, almost note-for-note with most of its plot points, and sorry to any purists out there, but I think it's simply a much better retelling of that story in every way.

Spoiler!

I do think Noriko showing up alive at the end was a complete cop out, there's literally no way she'd have survived what happened to her. The movie had already earned a happy-ish ending through Koichi ejecting out of the plane, making her come back just felt wrong imo. Also ending it with the shot of Godzilla being alive was pretty awful tone-wise, if they're gonna keep it going because of capitalism, maybe save that for a post-credits at least.

Also the CGI in this was absolutely amazing, barring one scene later on I thought everything looked basically real. It's on par with the best CGI in Hollywood's Monsterverse, which is insane given how much smaller the budget is. It certainly looks way better than the ugly game-y look of that new Godzilla v Kong trailer.
