Godzilla Minus Zero delivers spectacular monster action and ambitious themes, but its lacklustre human story holds it back

Following the massive success of Takashi Yamazaki’s Godzilla Minus One three years ago, Toho’s oversized atomic lizard is back to terrorise silver screens and this time, it’s not alone.

After their clunky yet eventually successful mission at obliterating Godzilla in 1949, Japan experiences two years of relative peace before the country faces another threat in the form of Ghidorah, an extraterrestrial being that has taken on characteristics of local wildlife.
