After achieving massive success at the box office, Godzilla Minus One is now making its way to various digital streaming platforms. One such platform is Amazon Prime Video, where viewers have the option to rent the film for $6 or purchase it for $15 to add to their library permanently. Additionally, there is a black-and-white version of the film available for rent or purchase, paying homage to the original Godzilla movie and specially formatted by the film’s colorist.
For Netflix subscribers, Godzilla Minus One has been added as a surprise release on the platform. While only the regular version is currently available, the black-and-white special edition is set to be added to the service later this summer. The latest installment in the Godzilla franchise presents a new take on the iconic kaiju, portraying it as a force of nature capable of mass destruction within moments.
A Unique Interpretation of Godzilla
Unlike the portrayal of Godzilla in Legendary’s Monsterverse, Godzilla Minus One presents the kaiju as an unstoppable and unkillable force. The film weaves together elements of war, family, and redemption, creating a compelling narrative that goes beyond the typical Godzilla storyline. Set in a post-World War 2 Japan, the movie follows a civilian force tasked with stopping Godzilla’s devastating rampage.
Upon its release last year, Godzilla Minus One received critical acclaim and even won the Best Visual Effects Oscar. Fans of the Monsterverse can also preorder a special 4K UHD collection featuring Godzilla and Kong’s recent film appearances, including the highly anticipated Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. The collection, which includes digital copies of all five films, is set to release on June 25 and is available for preorder at $100.
Godzilla Minus One’s journey from the big screen to digital streaming platforms has solidified its status as a modern classic in the Godzilla franchise. With its unique interpretation of the iconic kaiju and compelling storyline, the film continues to capture the hearts of viewers worldwide. As fans eagerly anticipate the release of the special edition collection and the addition of the black-and-white version on Netflix, Godzilla Minus One’s legacy is sure to endure for years to come.
