Godzilla Minus One (2023)

A former pilot trying to rebuild a life after the war faces a threat that makes survival feel like an unfinished obligation. The makeshift household matters as much as the city-scale destruction, because there is now something worth returning to. Takashi Yamazaki gives the creature terrifying weight while keeping human collaboration legible. A strong opening choice for spectacle with emotional stakes, with wartime trauma and civilian suffering close to the action.
