Toho International released the final trailer for Godzilla Minus One just as the massive creature stomps its way into theaters. The PG-13 sci-fi action thriller currently sits at 96% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics describing it as a “refreshingly humanist and nostalgic reboot” (Kambole Campbell, Empire Magazine) and “nothing short of magical” (Lucas Trevor, Washington Post).
Written and directed by Takashi Yamazaki, the film stars Ranman co-stars Ryunosuke Kamiki as Koichi Shikishima and Minami Hamabe as Noriko Oishi. Yuki Yamada plays Shiro Mizushima, Munetaka Aoki is Sosaku Tachibana, Hidetaka Yoshioka is Kenji Noda, Sakura Ando is Sumiko Ota, and Kuranosuke Sasaki is Seiji Akitsu.
“The film takes place just after the war, when Japan has no self-defense force or no armaments,” reads Toho’s synopsis. “The starting point is what happens if Godzilla comes to Japan while it is completely disarmed.”
Shot in Japan from March to June 2022, GMO marks the first domestic Japanese Godzilla film since 2016’s Shin Godzilla.
