GODZILLA MINUS ZERO
Premiere events BFI IMAX London November 2nd
Preview November 3rd
Full release November 6th
Anime limited
It is two years since the events of Yamazaki’s reboot of the longest continuously running film franchise. And what he set out to achieve with Godzilla Minus One he surpasses here on every level. Like his first film, human drama trumps the action, with survivors, soldiers and scientists all fearing the possibility that counter measures taken against the Godzilla have not worked. That said, when the action comes it is spectacular.

Then, an irreversible incident occurs : “What if I were an alien?” Is this a coming-of-age story for two boys, or a memory they want to erase? A story of a friendship spanning 30 years, a journey of boundless blueness.

The Apothecary Diaries: The Late Lady’s Treasure
Crunchyroll
Synopsis: The curtains rise on a new mystery surrounding a secret treasure hidden in a city on the water. The emperor gives Jinshi an order. He must grant the final wish of a concubine who passed away five years ago by returning her to her homeland.
In order to return her to her family, Jinshi examines the remains, only to discover that they’re in pristine condition. She’s beautiful, as if she were still alive. To solve the mystery of the remains, Jinshi drags Maomao along on a journey to Binan-shu, the southern province ruled by the Bi clan.
They arrive at a bustling city on the water. Maomao is excited to see herbs and medicines she has never seen before, but tensions are high in the area, as pirates are viciously trying to find the treasure their late leader hid away. “I hope nothing happens…”
Jinshi’s premonition comes true. On the day of the concubine’s funeral, a huge incident occurs, triggering a chain of events that nobody could see coming.
