Currently both the movies: Oppenheimer and Godzilla Minus One hold a rating of 8.5 on IMDb making a tie between Christophe Nolan and Takashi Yamazaki’s work. This latest Godzilla movie received acclaim and is lauded as one of the best Toho Titan movies so far. Yamazaki’s film is set in the 1940s during the aftermath of World War II, bringing back the king of the monsters again.

Gareth Edwards, the director of 2014’s Godzilla praised Minus One, and according to Comicbook.com, he said:

“There were a lot of things that I felt were very new for Godzilla, and I felt jealous the whole time I was watching the movie. This is what a Godzilla movie should be. [Godzilla Minus One] must be mentioned as a candidate for the best Godzilla movie of all time.”

Edwards’ comments are quite evident that there’s immense thrill and adventure in this new movie which is arguably captivating the fans as well. However, Oppenheimer starring Cillian Murphy as the father of the Atomic bomb, became this year’s summer blockbuster showcasing the deep and alarming intersection between science and politics.

Minus One follows the story of a dreadful monster activated by the catastrophic power of the atomic bomb. Yamazaki’s film is the highest movie in the Godzilla franchise and viewers have been amazed by the makers for exceeding their expectations from Japan’s Toho Studios.

After securing a successful movie, the director has also expressed contributing to a galaxy far, far away in the future. The Japanese filmmaker and visual effects supervisor said in an interview with Slash Film that:

“I watched Star Wars, and that’s how I ended up being a filmmaker. I’m really hoping I will get a call and they [Lucasfilm] will bring me on Star Wars.”

However, if talk about Oppenheimer‘s director Christopher Nolan, the creative filmmaker previously mentioned that his next project would be immensely creative and distinct as never before.
