The war completely destroyed Japan, and Godzilla plunged it even further.

As humanity finally gets used to the coveted peace in the world, a new threat emerges and hope bursts like a soap bubble. There will be no third chance. It all ends here. For the film GODZILLA MINUS ZERO, a project shot for IMAX, IMAX certified digital high-definition cameras adapted to the highest audio and video quality were used. Godzilla fans will experience another terrifying experience on a whole new level, and GODZILLA MINUS ZERO is a cinematic event not to be missed.
