I've heard talk of a Best Buy exclusive steelbook. Is that right?

My second viewing was even more apathetic than my first and the more time that goes by the more I simply don't care. It doesn't really feel like a proper Godzilla movie to me. It IS a Godzilla movie, but it's also not. This film occupies an odd spot in my head/heart.

I'm very curious what they're going to do for the sequels but I can't help but wonder if I'll always feel that something is missing from this series? (I'm not even sure I can articulate what that missing element is...)

[canofhumdingers]

Man, that's exactly how I feel about it too.

I personally really disagree...but I'm really diggin the movie in that it feels like a legitimate attempt to make an old-school movie. To blend a sort of 50s monster movie sensibility with a 70s Godzilla narrative...

but my feelings are a bit all over the place at times. I think it's due to this movie being so over-discussed right now in the fandom, and also that while I did personally REALLY like it a lot, it wasn't my "ideal" Godzilla.

That said, it's a day one blu-ray purchase for me...or rather would be, if Hybrid Gojira weren't going to buy me one!

Been burned by store exclusives in the past. No thanks.

[MouthForWar]

True but sometimes there are good ones. The Wal Mart Pacific Rim extra was awesome.

I'm going for the one with the coolest cover.

Not a major update, but Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has released back cover art and advertising materials for the GODZILLA Blu-rays. I’ve posted the images on SciFi Japan…

I kinda wish this Ultimate Collector's Edition wasn't an Amazon Germany exclusive (at least I've not read about it being available anywhere else yet); I'd definitely put some high level consideration on buying it. The statuette looks pretty good -- and no contest on it being a far superior Collector's Edition than the oddly shaped case that WB released in a "collector's edition" for Pacific Rim.

It is a good looking sculpt.

[MouthForWar]

So how come the Korean version has deleted scenes and more features?

[Tom R VanSlambrouck]

Because we'll probably get a directors cut down the line WB likes to have us double dip on releases.
