    Godzilla Minus One

    ★★★★

    The visual effects are incredible for a $15M movie. No wonder it won the Oscar for it.
    The action scenes and Godzilla's appearances were terrifying and the climax capped it off perfectly. The character drama was beautiful, and through it the movie built its themes about a post nuclear world full of hopelessness really well.

    A BANGER, all the way through. Wish more action movies were like this.
