Godzilla Minus One Action/Sci-fi Full Movie (English Subtitle)

Godzilla Minus One (ゴジラ-1.0マイナスワン, Gojira Mainasu Wan) is a 2023 Japanese epic[a] kaiju film written, directed, and with visual effects by Takashi Yamazaki. Produced by Toho Studios and Robot Communications and distributed by Toho,[1] it is the 37th film in the Godzilla franchise, Toho's 33rd Godzilla film, and the fifth film in the franchise's Reiwa era.[b] The film stars Ryunosuke Kamiki, Minami Hamabe, Yuki Yamada, Munetaka Aoki, Hidetaka Yoshioka, Sakura Ando and Kuranosuke Sasaki.
