Godzilla (4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital) (4K Ultra HD)

Overall, I really, really liked this movie, despite some quibbles with it. I am going to get one of the first quibbles out of the way. While I liked the story and the MUTOs looked great and were excellent monsters, I think my slight disappointment with the movie was over what could have been. The 2012 Comic-Con teaser showed us a Godzilla with a quote by Robert Oppenheimer that was reminiscent of the 1954 original and Gareth Edwards had said he was going to bring Godzilla back to his roots....but in the end he didn't. Now I knew that going into the film that he didn't make a movie similar to the 1954 original. Its just after seeing this movie I really would have loved to have seen a movie with a malevolent Godzilla. Instead, what we get is a Godzilla that was prevalent during the Heisei era and some of the Millennium movies: a Godzilla that is a force of nature but also the anti-hero. I like those types of movies too, its just that with all the modern CGI and special effects it would have been nice to have gotten a story in the spirit and tome of the original. The tone of this film is serious but it still has the air of a summer popcorn movie. It isn't too dark and serious but it is a good old fashioned giant monster movie. With that out of the way, one of my other concerns was over the fact that I had heard Godzilla doesn't have a lot of screen time. That was my biggest worry. Although I love the movie Cloverfield I was disappointed in the amount of screen time that monster got and I feared the same for Godzilla. My worst fears were not realized. While Godzilla doesn't have the screen time he has in some of his movies it isn't as bad as some people report. Sure, I would like to have seen him more but what we do see of him in the movie is well worth it. I also loved the design of the MUTOs. They very reminiscent of the Colverfield monster, a design I really love. To see Godzilla and the MUTOs in life-like CGI is the best part of the movie for me. Yes, the MUTOs do have more screen time than Godzilla but that doesn't bother me at all. When Godzilla and the MUTOs are on the screen both together and separately not an inch of film is wasted. They are all money shots. Meaning, they all look spectacular. Some more spectacular than others. When the male MUTO arrives in San Francisco and greets the much larger female MUTO through the clouds and smoke that is an impressive sight. Equally impressive is when Godzilla rises about the two buildings and lets out a snort. The monster battles are epic in scope and detail. This does not look like men in rubber suits! It looks like three giant animals fighting as animals do in the wild. All-in-all an enjoyable movie. I would have liked a little more focus on Godzilla but the story is engaging and this movie has the best monster battles I have ever seen in a Godzilla movie.

I did not read any reviews towards the film before buying and was not aware that some people disliked it till I saw it posted on here: (Amazon or online). I tend to glance at opinions on Amazon instead of professional reviews so I was surprised about some negative feedback. I will not give away any spoilers, just my opinion. The movie is well done, but Godzilla feels like a 2ndary character in his own film. This, to me, I felt was the main flaw in the film. Yes, you see him battle monsters and makes himself known various times as well as the ending battle. The director however felt the need to inject human drama by mashing a family oriented love story to the film.He also added a typical scenario: "man worried about his family in the middle of chaos". I normally do not mind these, but felt it could have had less screen time and more attention to Godzilla and other MUTOs (Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organism) battling it out. It felt the movie was a build up to the ending battle with minor fights and appearances before the end. Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Brody) did play a good role in the film, but felt that he needed to be a 2ndary character and not Godzilla. After all, the film is named Godzilla. When I see monster films, I expect the monster to stand out above everyone else. Especially with todays special effects. Instead, the beginning was focused on his dad and mother then jumps to Brodys family. In a film like Godzilla which he is well know and people want to see more of him there should be less human drama. If it was a generic monster other than Godzilla focusing on the humans might have worked better. On a positive note, I was surprised it was 3 monsters and not just Godzilla destroying everything around him with humans trying to fend him off. I am a big fan of monster films like Aliens, Pacific Rim or in general most sci-fi oriented plots. The major drive for me is sound and visuals (story also) but the reason I buy with the intentions of the sound being well done is due to my high end sound system. (I tend to watch films with friends and like to impress)... Sound is good and Godzilla certainly makes himself known. Explosions, gun fights, missiles, planes, even Godzilla roars and atomic breath were well done. Visually the night scenes could have had some more detail, sometimes its was midnight with no moonlight.... Example: forest scenes. Even when they were in the city it felt to dark, no it was not my black level on my plasma since I tend to watch a lot of scary films that revolve around night scenes. Godzillas night scenes stood out to me as more darker. Day scenes had great detail to them and look well (as well as a daylight monster battle). To put it simple, yes its worth owning and I have seen the film twice since I purchased it and have no regrets. The film is not bad, I just felt Godzilla needed to be more of the focus instead of the humans. If you have seen Pacific Rim, the tone is basically: monster battles one after another and a massive battle at the end. In Godzilla, the tone feels like a build up to the end battle with occasional minor appearances at the start and middle of the film. Everything else before that was everyone trying to figuring out how to stop them with a generic "I have to survive for my family" theme.

Great movie

Very good

Arrived exactly as described.

No soy muy fan de lo que hicieron con el HDR, no siento que fuera necesario modificar el apartado visual (gente exagerada). Lo único que mencionaría es que me vino sin slipcover y un disco venia suelto, afortunadamente el disco suelto no era la versión 4k, y aparte funciona a la perfección ambos discos.

ゴジラ映画としては、それなりにおもしろいと思います。どなたかも書いておられましたが、東宝製作のゴジラ映画でも、明確なメッセージがあったのは、第一作ゴジラ（１９５４年製作）のみで、後は、怪獣の対決映画で、大人から子供まで楽しめる映画となっています。 映画そのものの評価は、以上ですが、この値段は、高すぎます。アマゾンUSAでは、約２０ドル、今のレートで、約２１００円となり、、至急配送でも、約３６００円で、日本へ配送されます。通常配送（到着まで約２０日ぐらい）では、約３０００円で購入できます。 購入を検討されている方は、検討してみてはいかがですか？

Edición norteamericana que cumple lo principal de ofrecer la película en caja amaray con un disco 4K Ultra-HD y un disco Blu-ray. Ambos discos son multiregión, y en el caso del primero es el mismo que en la edición 4K Ultra-HD en caja steelbook editada en España, lo que significa que incluye la pista de audio en Español de España (Castellano) entre múltiples opciones; en el caso del disco Blu-ray desafortunadamente no lo incluye, optando por Español latino, Inglés y Francés.
