Cinema's most iconic monster returns to its post-war roots with this kaiju blockbuster. Godzilla Minus One was crafted to be the most terrifying incarnation of the character yet, returning the franchise to its post-war roots with a Japan gripped by the helplessness of having already lost everything reduced to zero, before this new, monstrous threat emerges plunging the county into a negative state. When despair is piled on top of despair, will the people be able to survive, never mind fight back?
Who?
And how?
Will Japan stand up to it?

Written and directed by Takashi Yamazaki and starring Ryunosuke Kamiki (Your Name) and Minami Hamabe (Shin Kamen Rider) Godzilla Minus One comes to the BFI IMAX straight from the closing night of the Tokyo International Film Festival to tower over the largest screen in the country.

An Oscar-winner for Best Visual Effects 2024, Godzilla Minus One is a visual spectacle at the pinnacle of its genre.
