"Godzilla Minus One" is a film that takes the iconic monster back to its roots, set in Japan in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War. However, "Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color" is a black-and-white version of the film "Godzilla Minus One". This version of the film provides a unique visual experience that is different from the original color version.
The film is set in post-World War II Japan and follows a group of ex-military men, including a disgraced kamikaze pilot named Koichi Shikishima. Godzilla, symbolizing the destruction of Japan’s cities, is portrayed in a realistic and documentary-like manner in the black-and-white version.
The black-and-white imagery lends a striking realism and documentary-like quality to Godzilla, intensifying the sense of fear. Particularly impactful is the opening scene, set at night, where Godzilla emerges, evoking a terror so profound that knees tremble in response.

The film has been described as "way scarier than ‘Godzilla Minus One’ with color" and that "even the team members working on it, we’d get goosebumps… Because, in many ways, it does feel like a different film". Despite the storyline remaining the same, the visual experience and the emotional impact of "Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color" can be quite different from the original color version.
Experience the final North American theatrical run of "Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color" from January 26 to February 1. Catch this award-winning global hit in theaters near you, marking the last chance to witness the director's intentional creative brilliance.
