Finally a Godzilla movie with interesting and developed characters, for this point it's certainly the best of the franchise.
(Spoiler part) I also thought the death of one particular character was really surprising... Well, until she suddenly turns out to be alive at the end, in order to allow a happy ending. Kind of ruined the meaning of the death for the main character and emotion part (as the title "Minus One" can have a meaning for Japan overall AND specificaly the main hero).
The idea to set the story in the 40's Japan is also interesting, as a foreigner i really discovered this post-war period of the country that i didn't really know about (i only saw Kurosawa's "Subarashiki nichiyobi" prior to this movie).
The actions sequences are also very cool. You definitively won't be disapointed with them. I loved the treatment of the King of the Monsters, who have an interesting design and new ability (both are kind of linked).
I saw it in a casual cinema, but i guess the IMAX version is worth it, so go for it if you got the chance.
