To commemorate the 70th anniversary of the first Godzilla film, Japanese movie studio Toho unleashed a new installment in its historic franchise last year. Set in Japan in the days following World War II, the film serves a prequel of sorts to the 1954 film, introducing a smaller - yet still destructive - version of the kaiju. Led by a dishonored kamikaze pilot, a group of Japanese veterans and ordinary citizens must stand up to Godzilla when the government fails to act. Written and directed by Takashi Yamazaki, the film bit off $115 million at the global box office, snagged an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, and received near-universal acclaim. It’s the final countdown to Godzilla Minus One!
