Godzilla Minus One In Black And White Is A Much Bigger Change Than You Think

American audiences won’t have long to check out the new version. While the black and white «Godzilla Minus One» comes out on January 26, it’ll only be in theaters for a week, with both cuts leaving theaters on February 1. Additionally, both versions of the film could play concurrently at the same theaters, so for anyone buying tickets, make sure you double-check which one you’re going to see. 

If you’re deciding which «Godzilla Minus One» to see, Takashi Yamazaki suggests the black and white cut, stating in a press release, «This is not only for those who liked ‘Godzilla Minus One’ but also those who are seeing it for the first time — they should definitely see this black and white version.» He adds that one sequence works exceptionally well without color: «The scene at the beginning where Godzilla appears in the night — it is so terrifying that it made my knees shake!»

Both versions of «Godzilla Minus One» will soon leave theaters, but hopefully, that means a physical media release should soon follow, as well as information on when it could come to streaming. A producer on the film has already said there’s no rush to make a sequel to «Godzilla Minus One,» but with the enthusiastic response the first movie received, people are likely going to continue talking about it for some time to come.
