I am not sure there is a coherent "canon" timeline for the Godzilla films, but at the very least this one is set before the events of the first film (toward the end of WWII and a little after VS contemporary to the first film release, so 1954). Why not Zero? Maybe they wanted to leave some room to squeeze another film between -1 and 1 ?
PS: I saw it a few weeks back and thought its attempt at being a serious drama just made it boring.

The teaser explains the title. At the end of WW2 Japan was at zero. Add Godzilla to the mix and they are at minus one.

In case you’re not aware, there are multiple timelines for the Godzilla films, MOST of the Japanese timelines assume Godzilla(54) occurs first
List of Godzilla film continuities
This is a list of the various continuities in the Godzilla series, along with the films and other official media that are confirmed to take place within them, listed in the order in which they chronologically take place.
wikizilla.org
so the notable exceptions are Shin Godzilla, which is essentially Godzilla remade as a metaphor for government bureaucracy obstructions in disasters and Godzilla Minus One, which is a pure remake of 54

blu rays are just japanese audio/subtitles so you have to add your own english subtitles if you watch at home, the credits scroll at the end is all in japanese too with zero english so kinda funny how japan gives zero fucks about international audiences.
enjoyable but really just a one off for me, everything with actually gojira was amazing but its such a small, small part of the movie. Makes sense with a $15m budget movie. Didn't hate the humans like the Legendary movies but was more on the indifferent side than not, I did hate the main protag for most of the movie to be honest.
Its too bad these guys couldn't be given the budget for the monarch TV show and make a proper 8 episode TV show with these ideas and visuals, because that TV show sucked complete ass but they had the actors (Mariko from Shogun!), budget, and lore to do an insane job but they squandered it so badly.
anyways i'd just wait for it to hit amazon prime in the USA unless you really love blurays and collect it or something. its pretty interesting to see the japanese themes of gojira (fuck the government, do it for famiry, horrors of war) vs the western themes in the legendary movies.
