Yesterday I took the day off to take care of some personal matters and finished up early by lunchtime. With some free time now on my hands, I had an impromptu thought and called my son Mitch who met me for an afternoon matinee. We went to the IMAX Theater here locally and caught the Japanese film GODZILLA MINUS ONE by Toho Studios (it is a Japanese film with subtitles) to celebrate the 70th Anniversary of their iconic giant kaiju monster. WE LOVED THE FILM. WOW!!! One of the best films that I've seen in the past decade. The film begins at the ending of World War Two and is then set in postwar Japan that deals with the emergence of Godzilla. The look of the film is spectacular as a period piece and the touch points of the human experience is the best I've ever seen in any of the near 40 Godzilla films over the years. A real drama while still giving what I think was the best Godzilla portrayal. 10 out 10. And on a giant IMAX screen... um.... Godzilla is spectacular and frightening to view.
