My dad grew up a huge Godzilla fan and got me into it as a kid. His birthday present was movie tickets to the film. We dragged my mom, who could care less about monster movies and dislikes subtitles said this was one of the best movies she's seen in a long time and deserves an Oscar. There were tears in her eyes by the end. Enough said.

This movie hit me in a way I would've never expected from a Godzilla movie. My wife and I watched it in Japan without subtitles on our recent honeymoon and we don't speak Japanese. We went in knowing nothing about the film other than it was a Godzilla movie. The movie was directed so well that we always knew what was going on and the emotional messages the characters were trying to get across got us invested in the characters even though we couldn't understand any of what they were saying! It even got teary in a couple places. I think this movie is a masterpiece of the "show don't tell" rule in film. It still works great as a film even if you can't understand all the dialogue.

I cried. Godzilla, the human-made embodiment of the atomic bomb, is a terrifying and sad symbol. This Japanese-produced Godzilla movie lies in the way it sends out messages to humans in various ways, including the mushroom cloud of the atomic bomb, radioactivity, and pollution related to war. This movie is not a monster movie like those produced by Hollywood, but definitely a human drama about people's struggle to survive after the war.

Director Takashi Yamazaki said in an interview that due to lack of budget and time, the staff ran out of time to plant CG trees, so he planted them himself.
The director also said the following about the girl who cried in the play.
I did not give her strict acting instruction, but waited for the right moment when she happened to start crying and shot the sad scene. I also chose to shoot the family reunion scene when she was enjoying herself.

Probably genuinely my favorite movie of the year. The exploration into survivors' guilt, ptsd, and using Godzilla as an allegory for how war follows soldiers home from the battlefield were just so deeply impactful to me. So many times in this movie, I felt myself tearing up, which I don't think has ever happened to me during a Godzilla movie.
As for top five Godzilla movies, in no particular order: 1954, Shin Godzilla, Godzilla Minus One, Godzilla Final Wars, and Godzilla vs. Mothra.

I saw it last night in IMAX from 3rg row. It was like travelling to the past, to a time where movie producers were interested above all in entertaining audiences keeping them on the edge of the seat eating their nails and letting them go home shaken, moved and happy of having gotten a quality product for their money. I took a look at the outgoing crowd and man, did they look excited.

I'm Japanese, but this was the first time I was moved by a Japanese science fiction movie. Due to the lack of budget in these types of Japanese movies, they tend to end up with clichéd CGI, but this time they were able to create such high-quality content on a low budget. As a Japanese person, this gave me hope for the future of Japanese movies. From now on, I want Japan to think about its overseas strategy and export more and more wonderful Japanese movies to foreign countries!

They made us care about human characters in a monster movie. That's a feat in of itself
