Just got the new Sony DVDs in the mail. Can't wait to watch some of them later tonight. Now, the only Godzilla film I don't have on DVD/Blu ray is Godzilla 85.

Watching RoM3 for the first time right now

I canceled my preoder for Mothra. Yeah, it was only $13, but I want that money for NDK this weekend. Plus, I wouldn't end up watching them for a while, so I'll just get it when I am ready to watch them. I still need to watch the BDs of FW, SpaceG, Hedorah, and Ebirah.

Well, I picked up the Godzilla blus today at Hastings. As far as picture quality is concerned, it looks decent but nothing spectacular, the audio sounds great and the extras are basically slim to none. The subs for GMK are hit and miss.......mostly a miss since the track is basically the same dubtitle track as the previous Sony DVD. There are some changes in a few scenes but some of the cheesier lines have been left intact unfortunately. I despise that line 'That lizard picked on the wrong guy.' and it wasn't fixed. Also, when that missle is fired and hits King Ghidorah.....Tachibana is like 'Good.' It's dissappointing Sony took the time to fix only a few of the subtitle lines and not the entire script which is what they should have done in the first place. It's blatantly obvious they just don't care. The subs for GxMG and G2K seem to be on the up and up but my complaint about the GxMG disc is the fact that those idiots put the trailer for GvsMG2 on that disc as opposed to an actual trailer for GxMG. It's obvious being intelligent must not be a requirement to get a job at Sony's home video division. I think of all their double features the only ones they got right was Final Wars and Godzilla 2000. I wish a company that actually cared about the source material would get their hands on these films but I know that's not going to happen for a long long time.

[Dr Kain]

YEAH!!





BTW, I was surprised to learn when I opened the case that G2K was only one disc.

I pre-ordered all these and G2014 at the same time. Supposedly, Amazon's preparing to ship G2K this week, the ROM trilogy next week... and GxMG/GMK in mid to late October. That last one is obviously BS; I expect it'll change shortly.

Has anyone else reversed the sleeves for the Sony Blu Rays? It's really great considering they are the classic posters. The only problem is that they don't have anything on the spine. So I can either have a nice looking case, or I can tell which movie I'm grabbing off of the shelf...

Best Buy has the three new Sony Blurays for 11.99 each Even with local sales tax, that beats Amazon for two out of the three blus. Guess I'll be stopping by Best Buy tonight!

[Tom R VanSlambrouck]

Got my BDs in today from Amazon going to watch probably rebirth of mothra tonight.

[DannyBeane]

Just finished watching GMK. As far as quality, its a blu ray.

Picked up the new Sony Godzilla releases myself and I agree with what has been said about the subtitles on GMK. Definitely a bit of a mixed bag as far as translation goes, but the most distracting thing I ran across were scenes where characters were talking while a news broadcast(or other character)were talking at the same time. Both conversations are subtitled, but the subs themselves look very similar to one another making it difficult at times to tell who's saying what, which made things a bit confusing on occasion. Would have been nice if they could have had the secondary dialogues subs be in yellow or some other color. Also, I have to add that I found GMK and Godzilla 2000 to have an over-abundance of contrast, making night scenes a little difficult to make out due to the darkness. Fortunately I have a setting on my projector pre-saved for just such a problem. GXMG, on the other hand, looked great with a normal setting. I also found the image on GMK to be a little soft. Not terribly so, just not what I expected from a blu-ray. The good news is that the audio on all is excellent! I've always been a fan of DTS for the enhanced volume through the rear speakers, and these discs definitely did not disappoint. Really nice surround effects, and the whole system had the living room quaking(boy, my neighbors love me ). Overall, all 3 discs are an improvement over the previous DVD releases, but they could have been better,imo.

Watched RoM tonight and the picture quality was pretty decent. Like most Toho HD prints some scenes look no bettr than DVD while others look fantastic. I hope Toho decides to go through with the 4K master thing that was recently reported.

Watched GMK this morning. Thought the transfer was a bit soft overall. Sort of disappointed. Watching GxMG right now and that transfer looks sharp! Much better IMO, too bad it's my least favorite of the Millennium series.

Just because I've seen people post about it here (and elsewhere). The Japanese version of G2K has always looked like that. Its naturally darker than the US version. It has a more blue tint to it. They re-did the color correction on the US release.

[Dr Kain]

Yeah, which is why the tanks look really really REALLY fake in the dub of G2K.
