I saw Godzilla: Minus One/Minus Color last night, and I have to say, it was awesome! If it's in your area and not too late, I highly recommend going to see it!
"But Haywire," you might ask, "I've already seen Godzilla Minus One, why should I see it again?"
I'll tell you: if Godzilla Minus One was a superior Godzilla film, and honestly great film period, Minus Color is freaking ART! The movie feels like a Kurosawa film, and the shading really does match b&w Japanese films from the era. Also, there's a lot of bits in the film that were likely references to the original (without being outright retreads), but I feel like they were easier to miss in the color version; in b&w they are harder to miss.
Lastly, it's a great movie to support, the themes of dealing with survivors guilt, choosing to live and keep going, and even the distinction they make between fighting to the death vs fighting to protect the life they've built (and rebuilt) is just a real and powerful message. All that, and one of the baddest Godzillas to hit the screen add up to a heck of a movie ride!
A kid leaving the theater last night with his dad summed it up best: "That was a great movie!"
