‘Godzilla Minus One’ Is Coming To Netflix This Weekend, But There’s A Catch

One of the best movies of 2023 is finally coming to streaming this weekend.

Godzilla Minus One is a low-budget, extremely well-made monster movie that puts pretty much all of the American Godzilla flicks to shame. I absolutely loved this movie and I’m not even a huge Godzilla fan. I’ve been pretty much entirely burnt out on the Western Godzilla and Kong films.

But Godzilla Minus One, which takes place in the days after World War II when Japan is rebuilding after the nuclear carnage, is a different beast altogether. It has a great story with compelling characters and manages to make Kong truly terrifying with some clever special effects that cost a fraction of the American Godzilla movies.

Now, the movie is finally coming to Netflix in many international markets including Australia, Malaysia, Germany, Italy, Belgium, and Spain, rolling out on May 31st and June 1st. The catch? There’s no indication that this will be the case in the US.

It will likely be available to rent or buy this weekend, however, with studio Toho tweeting a ‘Coming Soon’ teaser on Friday. I’ll update this post as soon as this is confirmed. For now, we will just have to wait and see.
