Agree.
Godzilla is terrifying, and the story is solid. The score is amazing too!
Definitely worth a watch on the big screen, and I’m looking forward to watching it again.
As others have said, hard for me to separate between Shin and Minus One. Both great, but different. Need to rewatch Minus One a few (hundred) more times first.
Edit: Just rewatched the original 1954 Japanese version. Minus one has a number of nods to this epic original. Quite a few more parallels than I remembered! For anyone interested, the original is available at the Internet Archive
