Ah, right. It occurs to me that "-1" means it's a prequel?

 

[Foxbat]

I’m a bit confused by what it is a prequel to. Initially, I assumed Shin Godzilla but this article puts up a good argument that it may be more of a prequel to the 1954 movie.

Godzilla Minus One May Connect to the Classic That Started It All

Godzilla Minus One promises to bring the terror of the original back into focus. But this connection could be more than a coincidence.

Either way, it’s Godzilla so I’ll be adding this to my DVD collection when it appears

And on a related note, I’d have loved to have seen this
’Holy kaiju, Batman!’

A thought piece on Godzilla Minus One

Godzilla Minus One: The Japanese film that's 2023's best action-blockbuster

Monster movie Godzilla Minus One is taking the US by storm, after reportedly being made for a mere $15m. Does it show where Hollywood is going wrong, asks Caryn James.

As long as Hollywood doesn't look at it and go "that's it--what we need are more movies about guilt-ridden males."
Ehh, there needs to be more variety than that in story theme.

There was a what if story concept someone floated once--what if Japan had Godzilla on its side before the war ended? Maybe it has been done--but that was a neat idea.
There's such a lack of character variety--I understand--war sucks--being a warrior sucks--I get it--but you don't have to do that in every story.
And you don't have to do it only when you want to recruit for the military (i.e. The Adventures of Robin Hood).

It just won the Best Visual Effect Oscar.
I want to see it more than ever...
