I've watched both films (Rodan/WOTG) and put my impressions in on their respective threads in the "Giant Monsters" topic, if anyone is interested. I did notice the Japanese print of WOTG to be quite a bit darker. |

Read it earlier today. Very cool. I hope we see more Godzilla documentaries as good as that one. |

Are you going to pick this up?? I'm really wondering how much better this could look when compared to the last DVD release...I'm guessing they will be using the same prints. Is this worth dropping the cold hard cash for a film that might be only ever so slightly better picture quality? I'm conflicted at this point. v

Yes. The improvement in picture clarity will probably be marginal at best, given the age of this film. Still, as a collector of Godzilla films, and owning a hi-def TV and Blu-Ray DVD player, I believe it's a worthwhile purchase.

Just to update my post, the Gojira Blu-Ray DVD will NOT include the Americanized version of the film, released in 1956 and starring Raymond Burr. Only the original Toho version(from 1954), in Japanese language with English subtitles option will be included. The commentaries will be part of this disc, the same commentaries as those on the stellar standard DVD Classic Media re-release of "Gojira".

The bigger question now is will the other Godzilla movies that CM released be far behind in terms of seeing a Blu Ray release? And if Sony will release any of their Godzilla titles to Blu Ray? |
