Directed by Takashi Yamazaki, Godzilla Minus One was released in Japanese theatres in November 2023 and received rave reviews. The film started streaming on Netflix on June 1, 2024, after a successful theatrical run that earned it an impressive USD 115 million worldwide.
Apart from Netflix, the monster movie is also available in a variety of languages including Japanese, English, Hindi, Italian, and German, on platforms like Amazon, Apple iTunes, Google Play and Microsoft.
Earlier this year, Godzilla Minus One went on to become the first Godzilla film in 70 years to win an Oscar. It took home the award for best visual effects, beating films like Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 at the 96th Academy Awards.
Set in the post-World War II era, Godzilla Minus One follows Koichi, a soldier haunted by his previous encounter with the colossal creature Godzilla. As a new threat looms over Tokyo, Koichi sees an opportunity to redeem himself for his past actions during the war.
