Godzilla (4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray) [4K UHD]

Great 4k movie. Played well. No issues

I really liked it it felt if I were watching it in movie theaters again you can see mostly on what’s happening in the blue ray you couldn’t really see anything but this 4k transfer the HDR really helps this movie to see what’s happening in the dark scenes

It's Godzilla!

BOTTOM LINE: A fun diversion that comes closer to the mark than the previous try back in 1998. Still not on par with the Japanese films in terms of excitement or sheer lunacy but this entry by director Gareth Edwards does show a glimmer of promise for interesting things to come. Worth a look and recommended for sure for fans of the radioactive reptile.THE STORY: A second American-made reboot attempt of the iconic atomic superlizard. Here, the Big Guy finds himself pitted against some ancient prehistoric foes that could threaten the planet and become the dominant species on Earth if left unchecked. Think the G-Man's gonna take that challenge lying down? Think again!THOUGHTS: (contains spoilers): The King is back, getting a more respectful treatment this time around than he received back in 1998 at the hands of Dean Devlin & Roland Emmerich in that putrid 're-imagining' starring Matthew Broderick. Ugh. This 2014 take on the Big G is not without its problems, to be sure. The lead actor is, I'm sorry to say, pretty bland & boring. If only they had chosen to focus the narrative on Bryan Cranston. *SIGH* Now THAT would've made for a much more intense film and an infinitely finer and more focused lead performance. Good actors like Julliette Binoche and Elizabeth Olsen are sadly relegated to small bit parts. Too bad. The focus, again, SHOULD have been on the relationship between Cranston's Joe Brody and Ken Watanabe's Ichiro Serizawa. That would have made for a much more interesting film and it would've really been a delight to see those two fine actors play off one another. Oh well. It is what is it, I suppose.According to the bonus material, (pitifully thin as it is, unfortunately), director Gareth Edwards says he "loved" that he kept teasing his audience by cutting away when you least expected it, keeping us baited throughout the film with only snippets of the title monster. Sorry, pal, but I cannot disagree with you more. Godzilla should have gotten far more screen time than what he ended up with. I realize that every second he's on film cost tons due to the fact that he's entirely computer-generated, but he is the STAR. Yet it felt more like he was just a guest-star in his own film! Argh! Very frustrating! The end confrontation between Godzilla and the female MUTO is also anti-climatic. It lasts literally less than 30 seconds. The monster fights could (and should) have been SO much better.Even so, this film is pretty fun and the fights are exciting, albeit on the brief side. Speaking of brevity, the film's running time could've stood a 20 minute or so trim without losing any narrative focus. But at least the film makers here made an honest effort to build an interesting world for this new Godzilla to exist in. I liked his new origin/back story, and the two MUTO creatures were weird and interesting, separately and together. The musical score was good and kept the tension going in the right spots. The cinematography looked great, but it was a bummer that they chose to have most of the creature conflict at the end take place at night. This is usually done to hide poor quality CGI, but the final shot of Godzilla entering San Francisco Bay in broad daylight showed that they could make him look 100% photo-realistic and interact within the cityscape believably. Hopefully next time we'll see a city-based final monster battle sequence during the daytime.THE BLU-RAY: GODZILLA 2014 looks pretty nice. Clean, clear & sharp. The picture leans toward the dark side of things, but that's due to the way it was shot and that fact that a lot of the film takes place at night. The bonus content was rather on the paltry side, but the Top Secret MONARCH-based "training films" they devised were very imaginative and a heckuva lot of fun. More like those, please! The movie's soundmix was clear, solid and well-balanced. Thankfully, I didn't find myself constantly turning the volume up during dialogue scenes and way down during the action sequences, like I do with some films where the sound balance is all over the place. Overall, I give this new film a full 4 STARS. With this new American version of Godzilla I found myself coming out the theater feeling happy instead of embarrassed and eagerly anticipating the sequel. I'll need to exercise some patience, as I understand that G:2 isn't scheduled to come out until 2019! Go, Go GODZILLA!

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.

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.

awesome packaging - no damage - movie works perfect!

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.

The 4k release is a necessary improvement over the first home release that made everything too dark, however you will need a tv capable of 4k quality to see the difference.

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？
