BBG News

As a die-hard fan of all things Godzilla, I must say that I was absolutely thrilled when I heard about the release of “Godzilla Minus One” in black and white on Netflix! Growing up watching those classic black-and-white monster movies from Japan, there’s just something about that monochrome aesthetic that adds an extra layer of suspense and tension to the proceedings.

If you’re still craving more of the fantastic “Godzilla Minus One,” you can now stream its classic black-and-white version on Netflix! Enjoy!

In December 2023, the Academy Award-winning film, unrelated to the Warner Bros MonsterVerse movie franchise, debuted in cinemas globally. Subsequently, a different version of this film was released in Japan at a later date.

Entitled “Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color“, this updated adaptation was premiered in Japan back in January, and can now be streamed for the very first time in the UK on Netflix.

The original version is still available to watch on the streaming service if you want to compare.

As a passionate gamer and movie buff, I’d like to share some insights about the remastered version of the film by Director Takashi Yamazaki. He dived deep into the intricate details behind the scenes to bring the iconic giant lizard to life in stunning black-and-white, a decision that truly elevated the cinematic experience for us viewers.

In his statement on the official website for Godzilla Minus One, Yamazaki explained that the team didn’t merely turn the movie into black-and-white, but rather they meticulously planned and executed each shot, skillfully employing diverse film materials to create a fresh and unique cinematic experience.

“The goal was to create an image tone as if taken by the masters of black-and-white photography”.

Yamazaki requested they extract all hidden details about skin texture and scenery from the gathered data. Afterwards, just like in a documentary, he suddenly encountered Godzilla, who was as fearsome and awe-inspiring as ever.

Hailing from Toho Studios, this distinguished movie unfolds in post-war Japan, depicting the nation at a vulnerable stage as a terrifying giant creature arises to cause havoc.

Watch “Godzilla Minus One” minus the color version, now streaming on Netflix. Also, don’t miss out on the original “Godzilla Minus One.”
