Godzilla Minus One - December 1, 2023

[darthviper107]

Gareth Edwards was also initially a VFX artist, he did the VFX work on his film Monsters himself and that cost like $250,000
Rogue One has the most artistic shots out of the Star Wars films that have come out lately, he had artists create concepts for things based off the script and many of the really nice shots there were created from those.

That's the Good Stuff™.

Stupid Godzilla x Kong: New Empire!!!

Apparently Toho has an agreement with Legendary that they won't ever release their own Godzilla movie in the US the same year that a Legendary Godzilla comes out. And since New Empire is coming out on blu-ray this year that means we can't get GMO Stateside until 2025.

GMO will be out on 4K in Japan in a little over a week.

I think you're jumping to conclusions a bit. As far as everything I've found, the agreement pertains to theatrical release dates, not home video.

 

[darthviper107]

Yeah, it's coming to Prime on May 3, there will probably be a home disc release this year sometime, it usually takes longer than the Japanese releases. It'd be nice to get a dubbed version, I have friends that would prefer that if we watched it together.

 

[Joda]

And at least I'll have the Japan release to tide me over until we get something Stateside.

That Prime release date is in Japan only, correct? I still haven't seen a confirmed US streaming or disc release date. I'll end up getting a Japanese disc on eBay or something like that. Anxious to see it in my home theater!

 

[darthviper107]

May 3 is the U.S. streaming release date on Prime. It'll be out in Japan on disc on May 1

 

[Khev]

May 3 is the U.S. streaming release date on Prime.

Link?

Everything I'm seeing says Japan only.

My understanding

May 3 is the U.S. streaming release date on Prime. It'll be out in Japan on disc on May 1

My understanding was that May 3rd is the Prime release date in Japan only. There's been no announcement for the US regarding streaming or disc releases.

 

[darthviper107]

Looking at stuff, I'm not 100% sure if it's Japan only or U.S. but surely there will be a download somewhere with English subtitles either way.

Apparently the Japanese release doesn't have English subtitles. I was going to buy the 4 disc version and it stated it in all-capitals on one of the sites.

Yup. Call me a completionist.

 

[BeefEaster]

Finally got to see this. It was a...uh.... "totally legit" stream of the japanese blu-ray release. The english subs were way out of synch though.

It was ok. Perhaps a little overhyped. It was cool to see godzilla as a straight up bad guy again, just out to destroy everything.

 

[MaulFan]

Yeah, I have a copy with subs but they're way not in sync, so for now it's just enjoying Godzilla mayhem and skipping over dialogue scenes lol

 

[darthviper107]

I may have seen a release with subs that were properly synced

That Japanese box set is so insanely gorgeous that I’m seriously considering buying it just to throw in the American 4K later on.

Remember that the Japanese release 4K has no subtitles and the black-and-white version is only HD not 4K.

But that box set is so freaking insane.

The steelbook that came with the Amazon exclusive 4-disc set is pretty snazzy, too.
