Godzilla Minus One (Japanese: ゴジラ-1.0（マイナスワン）, Hepburn: Gojira Mainasu Wan) is a 2023 Japanese kaiju film directed, written, and with visual effects by Takashi Yamazaki. Produced by Toho Studios and Robot Communications and distributed by Toho Co., Ltd.,[5] it is the 37th film in the Godzilla franchise, Toho's 33rd Godzilla film, and the fifth film in the franchise's Reiwa era.[b] The film stars Ryunosuke Kamiki, Minami Hamabe, Yuki Yamada, Munetaka Aoki, Hidetaka Yoshioka, Sakura Ando, and Kuranosuke Sasaki. In the film, postwar Japan deals with the emergence of Godzilla.

Following the release of his film The Great War of Archimedes (2019), Yamazaki was selected to make a Godzilla film. He subsequently wrote the script over the course of three years, taking influence from the original 1954 Godzilla film and Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (2001). The film would be Yamazaki's third on-screen depiction of Godzilla, as he had previously used Godzilla through computer-generated imagery in Always: Sunset on Third Street 2 (2007) and Godzilla the Ride (2021) at Seibu-en Amusement Park. In February 2022, Robot publicized that Yamazaki was soon to begin directing a kaiju film via a casting call on their website. Filming occurred primarily in Kantō and Chūbu from March to June 2022. Shirogumi handled the visual effects at their studio in Chōfu from circa April 2022[8] to May 2023.[9]

Godzilla Minus One had its premiere screening at the Shinjuku Toho Building on October 18, 2023, and was the closing film at the 36th Tokyo International Film Festival on November 1, 2023. Toho released it theatrically in Japan on November 3, the same day as the first film was released throughout Japan in 1954, to celebrate the franchise's 70th anniversary.[c] The film has grossed $20 million[1] against its reported $15 million budget[a] and received critical acclaim, with many considering it to be one of the best Godzilla films. Toho's American subsidiary Toho International will distribute it in the United States and Canada on December 1.[11]

Plot

In 1945, at the end of World War II, Kōichi Shikishima, a kamikaze pilot, feigns technical issues with his plane and lands on Odo Island. A dinosaur-like creature, Godzilla, appears during the night and attacks the island, killing everybody except Kōichi and the lead mechanic, Sōsaku Tachibana.

Two years later, following his return to Tokyo, Kōichi is plagued by survivor's guilt. He has started a relationship with Noriko Ōishi and they have adopted a child whose parents were lost in the bombing of Tokyo during World War II. Godzilla is mutated by the United States' Operation Crossroads nuclear tests at Bikini Atoll, and it destroys several U.S. warships before heading for Japan. The United States refuses to aid Japan owing to tensions with the USSR.

Working aboard a minesweeper called the Shinsei Maru, Kōichi meets scientist Kenji Noda. The minesweeper's crew are tasked with stopping Godzilla's approach to Japan. They release a mine into Godzilla's mouth and detonate it, but Godzilla regenerates from its injury. Heavy cruiser Takao then arrives and engages Godzilla but is subsequently destroyed when it unleashes its atomic breath.

Kōichi tells Noriko about Godzilla's attack, expressing his survivor's guilt to her. Godzilla makes landfall, attacking Ginza in Tokyo. Noriko witnesses the attack, while Kōichi attempts to rescue her. Meanwhile, the Japanese military attempts to engage Godzilla, but it fires its atomic breath, decimating Tokyo and seemingly killing Noriko among thousands of others.

While Godzilla returns to the ocean, Kenji comes up with a plan to kill Godzilla, although the Japanese government refuses to help, leaving it up to the remaining civilians and Naval veterans to enact it. Kōichi recruits Sōsaku to repair his damaged plane, in which he will fly into Godzilla's mouth and destroy it from the inside. Meanwhile, Kenji plots to destroy Godzilla by sinking it to a depth of 1,500 meters. Should that plan fail, then balloons would be inflated under Godzilla to force it back up to the surface, killing it through explosive decompression.

Godzilla is dragged down to 1,500 meters but manages to survive. The balloons are activated, forcing Godzilla up to 800 meters but it manages to break free. Two ships try to haul Godzilla to the surface but don't have enough power to do so. A fleet of tugboats lend their assistance and Godzilla is brought to the surface, injuring but not killing it. Enraged, Godzilla prepares to destroy all of the ships with its atomic breath.

Kōichi flies his plane into Godzilla's mouth, destroying its head and overloading its atomic breath, which destroys the rest of its body. Before he reaches Godzilla, Kōichi ejects from the plane and the fleet narrowly escapes the carnage. Back at the port, Kōichi receives a telegram and he heads to the hospital, where he reunites with Noriko, who survived the destruction, albeit with some kind of radiation sickness.

Meanwhile, a chunk of Godzilla's remaining flesh sinks to the bottom of the ocean and begins to regenerate.

Production

Development and writing

After the release of Toho's 2016 reboot Shin Godzilla, co-director Shinji Higuchi stated at the American fan convention G-Fest that Toho would not be able to produce another Godzilla film until after 2020; this was due to their contract with Legendary Pictures, who were producing their own Godzilla films, that forbade Toho from releasing their potential Godzilla films in the same year as Legendary's films.[13][14] In 2018, Toho executive Keiji Ota revealed that Shin Godzilla would not receive a sequel and expressed interest in a potential shared universe Godzilla series akin to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.[15]

Takashi Yamazaki, the director, screenwriter, and visual effects supervisor of Godzilla Minus One

In 2019, following the release of his film The Great War of Archimedes, renowned filmmaker Takashi Yamazaki was appointed to make a Godzilla film.[16][17] He began preparing the project and initially spending a year developing the script, however, the COVID-19 pandemic forced the crew to postpone filming for a few years, allowing the script to be rewritten.[18] The screenplay was reportedly completed over the course of three years.[16]

Yamazaki said in an interview for the Japanese magazine Aera that the worldwide anxiety and government unreliability during the pandemic was one of his major inspirations for the story.[17] He also expressed that he hopes the movie reflects these events clearly.[17] Yamazaki later revealed that he was inspired by Shusuke Kaneko's Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (2001) —which he has cited as his favorite Godzilla film[19]— while writing the screenplay for Godzilla Minus One.[20] He reflected in a discussion with Kaneko at a screening of GMK: "I had forgotten the contents of GMK for a while, but it seems like I self-consciously thought about it when writing the scenario for -1.0. Without realizing it, I was under considerable influence".[20] Yamazaki was also heavily influenced by the original 1954 Godzilla film[21][17] and has stated some of the ocean scenes in the film were inspired by Steven Spielberg's Jaws (1975).[22]

Godzilla Minus One marks Yamazaki's third time working on a production utilizing Godzilla. His first being Always: Sunset on Third Street 2 (2007) which featured the fictional monster in the film's dream-like opening. During preproduction on Minus One, he also directed and created the effects for Seibu-en Amusement Park's motion simulator attraction Godzilla the Ride: Giant Monsters Ultimate Battle (2021);[23][24] the design of Godzilla in Minus One is a variation of the one in Godzilla the Ride.[25][26] A novelization of the film written by Yamazaki was published in Japan by Shueisha on November 8, 2023.[27][28]

On February 18, 2022, Robot Communications announced the film, under the working title Blockbuster Monster Movie (超大作怪獣映画, Chōtaisaku Kaijū Eiga), via a casting call on their official website.[29][30] Robot stated Yamazaki would direct and that the film would be presented by Toho.[29] The next day, HuffPost writer Kenji Ando mentioned the conjecture from fans on social media whether the film would be a remake of the 1954 film. Ando also noted that it is a period piece set in postwar Japan between 1945 and 1947, citing Yamazaki's comments from an interview regarding his depiction of Godzilla in Always: Sunset on Third Street 2: "You can't have Godzilla unless it's the Shōwa era."[30]

Toho declared that Yamazaki's unnamed kaiju project is a Godzilla film on November 3, 2022, at an event celebrating the franchise's 68th anniversary known as "Godzilla Day". The company also revealed that the film had completed filming and had entered post-production with a targeted release date of November 3, 2023. Yamazaki was also named the film's writer and visual effects supervisor.[31][32] During a press conference on December 13, 2022, Toho's head of planning Hisashi Usui implied that the new film is connected to the 1954 film.[33] Following the film's announcement, Yamazaki regaled his pitch and vision for the film:

"Postwar Japan has lost everything. The film depicts an existence that gives unprecedented despair. The title Godzilla Minus One was created with this in mind. In order to depict this, the staff and I have worked together to create a setting where Godzilla looks as if "fear" itself is walking toward us, and where despair is piled on top of despair. I think this is the culmination of all the films I have made to date, and one that deserves to be "experienced" rather than "watched" in the theater. I hope you will experience the most terrifying Godzilla in the best possible environment."[5]

Casting

Producer Minami Ichikawa offered Ryunosuke Kamiki and Minami Hamabe the leading roles as a married couple in the film prior to them playing similar roles in the NHK drama series Ranman (2023).[16]

Filming

Principal photography took place on location in the Kantō and Chūbu (in the Aichi and Nagano prefectures) regions of Honshu, starting on March 17, 2022, and wrapping circa June 11.[29][30][34] According to Robot's website, the film would be set between 1945 and 1947, so there would be restrictions on the extras' costume sizes, hairstyles (declaring that long-haired men must have perms), and hair colors (declaring that hair dyeing would not be allowed).[29] The film's maritime sequences were filmed at Lake Hamana and in the Enshū Sea.[35] Between April and June 2022, several community businesses near the Tenryū River helped the crew modify and maintain boats to shoot navy scenes in Enshū.[35] Another shooting location was Okaya, Nagano.[36] Production had an estimated budget of US$15 million,[a] under 10% of the franchise's previous installment, Godzilla vs. Kong (2021), produced by the American film company Legendary.[2]

Visual effects

Visual effects were handled by Shirogumi at their studio in Chōfu,[8] under the supervision of Yamazaki[31] and direction of Kiyoko Shibuya.[37][d] The team began creating the effects for Godzilla Minus One around April 2022, per the TV Shinshu special about Yamazaki that was released the following year.[8] Shirogumi revealed by opening a recruitment call for visual effects designers and compositors in August 2022, that post-production had begun and visual effects were taking place from that same month until January 2023;[39] they later changed the dates to between November 2022 and February 2023.[40] Their website also stated that the 3D animation software Houdini and Maya would be used to design and Nuke would be used to composite the visual effects.[39][40] Post-production concluded in late May 2023, after the visual effects were finished.[9]

During an interview alongside Shinji Higuchi (co-director of Shin Godzilla), Yamazaki noted that Godzilla's destruction in Minus One are inspired by Higuchi's effects from Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris which was directed by above-mentioned Shusuke Kaneko.[41]

Music

Main article: Godzilla Minus One (soundtrack)

Yamazaki's frequent collaborator Naoki Satō scored the film. Rambling Records [ja] released the film's soundtrack album, entitled the Godzilla Minus One Original Soundtrack (『ゴジラ-1.0』オリジナルサウンドトラック, "Gojira Mainasu Wan" Orijinaru Saundotorakku), on CD in Japan on October 28, 2023. A limited edition vinyl is scheduled to follow on November 24.[42][43] Stock tracks composed by Akira Ifukube for King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962) and Mothra vs. Godzilla (1964) were also used for some scenes in the film.[44]

Marketing

On June 12, 2023, the film's official Twitter account began a daily countdown for all of Toho's live-action Godzilla films, starting with their previous live-action film Shin Godzilla (2016).[45] On July 11, Toho lifted the embargo on their secret kaiju film project, which was revealed to be Godzilla Minus One; the film was announced with a teaser trailer, poster (which was primarily designed by Yamazaki), and release dates for Japan and the United States.[46][47][e] Merchandise for the film was unveiled the next day, as well as a full-body shot of Godzilla.[51]

On July 13, Tamashii unveiled their Godzilla toy for their S.H. MonsterArts line; the toy was sculpted by Yuki Sakai under Yamazaki's supervision and based on 3-D data from the film.[52] A series of pre-release products and an exhibit promoting the film are accessible at the exhibition "The Visual World-crafting of YAMAZAKI Takashi [sic], Film Director" in Yamazaki's hometown of Matsumoto in Nagano Prefecture, open from July 15 until October 29.[51][53] A 2-meter tall statue of the film's incarnation of Godzilla was exhibited at the 2023 Summer Wonder Festival on July 30.[54] At the request of Toho, Hiroaki Fukushi spent roughly a month creating a statue of Godzilla, dubbed "Godzilla Neputa", to promote the film at the Aomori Nebuta Matsuri from August 4 to 8.[55]

Two days after releasing a new teaser for the film,[56] Toho released its official trailer alongside the theatrical release poster, central cast and staff members on September 4.[10][57] On September 14, 15 shots and a visual of Godzilla from the film were released; ticket sales (via Mubichike Online) and flyers for its November 3 release are scheduled to become available the following day.[58][59][60] On September 14, SciFi Japan reported that the film had remained the No. 1 trending film on social media sites in Japan and the United States, with the trailer accumulating over 9 million views on YouTube.[61]

During a press conference on September 25, Hamamatsu, the city bordering Lake Hamana (where some scenes in the film were shot), announced that they would promote the film in an attempt to make the location a tourist attraction by preparing for "location cruising" at the lake in late October.[35] On October 7, behind-the-scenes footage of the making of Godzilla Minus One was broadcast on Channel 4 of TV Shinshu, as part of a television special on Yamazaki, which was narrated by Hidetaka Yoshioka.[62] Toho declared on October 16 that Godzilla Minus One would be the first Japanese movie screened in the 270-degree panoramic film format ScreenX.[63]

On October 18, Yamazaki and the film's stars attended its red carpet premiere along Godzilla Street in Kabukichō, Shinjuku; the red carpet was 50.1 meters in length, which is the fictitious height of Godzilla in Godzilla Minus One.[64][65] Television stations across Japan began airing a television special on Godzilla Minus One in late October.[66] It features interviews with Yamazaki, Kamiki, and Hamabe, as well as behind-the-scenes footage.[66] On October 23, Yamazaki, Kamiki, and Hamabe attended the red carpet at the opening of the 36th Tokyo International Film Festival.[67] To promote the film in Japan, soft drink manufacture Cheerio released a new Chūhai drink called the "Godzilla Energy Chu-hi [sic]" on November 6.[68]

Selected screenings

On August 24, it was announced that, as a prelude to the release of Godzilla Minus One, Yamazaki had selected "4 Godzilla Works" for screenings in September and October.[69] An accompanying "talk show" took place before each screening, with Shin Godzilla and Shin Ultraman (2022) director Shinji Higuchi serving as the guest for the screening of the original 1954 Godzilla film, and suitmaker Keizō Murase serving as the guest for the screening of Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster (1964).[70] The third and fourth Godzilla films selected by Yamazaki for screenings are Shusuke Kaneko's Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (2001), and a new black-and-white version of Shin Godzilla created by Hideaki Anno, Higuchi and Katsuro Onoue, respectively.[71] Kaneko and Anno were also be the guests at the talk shows for their respective films.[71]

Collaborative projects

The film was promoted at the Tokyo Dome in collaboration with the Yomiuri Giants in their match against the Tokyo Yakult Swallows, taking place on October 1; a "special collaboration" video and a 3.6-meter statue of Godzilla were displayed at the venue.[72] On September 27, Fujita Kanko stated in a press release that the Hakone Kowakien Yunessun hot spring theme park in Hakone, Kanagawa Prefecture would hold an event in collaboration with the film from October 20, 2023, to January 8, 2024.[73]

Reception

Box office

Godzilla Minus One debuted at number one at the Japanese box office, grossing ¥1.04 billion ($7.8 million)[90] from 648,577 tickets during its first three days.[91] During its opening weekend, the film grossed US$1.2 million from 49 IMAX theaters, making it the largest opening for a Japanese live-action film in the format.[92] The film remained at number one for three consecutive weekends[93][94] before being overtaken by Tonde Saitama ~Biwako Yori Ai o Komete~ in its fourth weekend. The film has grossed ¥3.45 billion from 2.23 million tickets as of November 26, 2023.[95] Box Office Mojo currently lists the film's Japanese gross as US$19,054,310.[96] Variety reported on November 22 that the film has grossed $20 million.[1]

Critical response

Godzilla Minus One has garnered critical acclaim worldwide.[97][98][99] On American review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 100% based on 25 reviews, with an average score of 8.3/10.[100] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 82/100 based on 6 critics, indicating "Universal Acclaim".[101] On Japanese review aggregator Filmarks [ja], the film holds an average rating of 4 out of 5 based upon 28961 reviews with 41% reviewers gave 5 out of 5,[102] surpassing Godzilla (1954)[103] and Shin Godzilla (2016),[104] to become the highest-rated film in the franchise. On Eiga.com [ja], reports a score of 3.9 out of 5 based on 1102 reviews, with 44% of reviewers giving it a 5 out of 5.[12]

Screen International critic Tim Grierson felt "there’s a reverence shown to Godzilla Minus One’s gruesome colossus; audiences may cheer the havoc it wreaks, but Yamazaki understands Godzilla’s sombre societal implications."[105] But Why Tho's Sarah Musnicky gave the film 9 out of 10 stars, saying it "will win the hearts of fans everywhere. Not just for Godzilla, but for the human characters within that reminds us why it is important to infuse soul into a kaiju or monster film."[106] Katie Rife, reviewing the film for IGN, gave the film 8 out of 10 stars, feeling that the film is more "hopeful" than Shin Godzilla with "more swell, in the score and on the heart strings; less terror and more pride, even (or perhaps especially) while evoking a vulnerable period in Japan’s history."[2] Variety's reviewer felt the film's "emotionally engaging storyline" and "heat-ray-breathing action", makes it a "high point in the long-running series".[1] Collider rated the film "B+", expressing that the film "balances sweeping spectacle and tense action with the more complicated themes of war and loss, making it a solid monster movie that hardly ever makes a wrong step."[107]

In a more mixed review by Matt Schley of The Japan Times believing the film "evokes the original film more than any Godzilla film since the ’50s", he states its period piece setting "… avoids taking on contemporary issues, more content to be an entertaining ride than use Japan’s most malleable monster as a metaphor for what ails us."[108]

Other responses

Hideaki Anno, co-director of Shin Godzilla, called the film "well-made" and praised the film's technical prowess, feeling that Japan has improved in the field of visual effects.[109] Gareth Edwards, director of Godzilla (2014), praised the film. While he admitted to feeling "jealous", he added that "this is what a Godzilla movie should be" and that the film should be "mentioned as a candidate for the best Godzilla movie of all time".[22][110]

Potential sequel

During an interview published in the October 30th issue of Aera, director Takashi Yamazaki stated in regards to the film's ending: "I think it's more cinematic if it doesn't end neatly and properly. It's not just so a sequel can be made, it's also so the characters are kept alive in the hearts of the audience."[114] On the film's opening day, Yamazaki also indicated that he desires to make another Godzilla film, saying: "I wonder if you'll let me shoot one more picture?".[115]
