The buzz around "Godzilla Minus Zero" is electric, with first reactions from the New York Film Festival press screening being overwhelmingly positive. The film's epic thrills and jaw-dropping moments have left journalists and critics speechless, with some even suggesting it should be nominated for Best Picture.

As the film's release date approaches, all eyes will be on whether it can live up to the hype generated by these early reactions. With its epic scope and thrilling action sequences, "Godzilla Minus Zero" is sure to be a major player in the awards season conversation. To watch next: the film's box office performance and its chances of securing Oscar nominations, particularly in categories like Best Visual Effects and Best Action Movie.
