With Madman's announcement that they're gonna' extend the "every-DVD-for-$10" sale a few days, I'm thinking about getting their G vs. MechaG II. Anybody got an opinion on how it stacks up against the Sony release (which I don't have)? Anybody able to post some screenshot comparisons?

Thanks

I don't have anything better to do, so I did a try at creating screencaps for the first time:

R1:

(I noticed that, at least in this bright scene, there was a lot of various grain on the R1 image)

R4:




R1:

Hey Sparvid, I already ordered the GvsMG2 R4 so it's in the bag for me, but I was wondering if you could tell me whether the subtitles are dubtitles or not.

Madman will release Terror of Mechagodzilla on February 7th, 2007.

I must say, I'm surprised that they didn't alter the title to "Godzilla: Terror Of Mechagodzilla".

I remember how grainy Godzilla 2000 looked when I saw it in it's theatrical release.

Who knows which one of these (the R1 or R2/4) actually look like the film as shown in theaters? Besides the color differences, the R1 is definitely sharper than the R2. Sometimes the colors look better on the R2, sometimes the R1. Like I said, it's hard to say which best represents the actual film. I've never seen it in a theater, so I certainly wouldn't know.

I've noticed the 1.85:1 Godzilla films generally have more grain. GODZILLA 2000 is one of the worst looking IMO.

Like i said, i'm not entirely sure where i heard that & i definately don't know if it's true. But also, you must take into acount that most scope films are shot anamorphically. If G2000 was shot in a non anamorphic format (esp. if it was shot on super35) & then cropped to scope, then it very well could have resulted in a blowing up of the picture. As i said, i don't have a source for it other thn my memory, but if true, it would explain all that grain in G2000. I agree that shooting in flat (yes, that's 1.85 to 1) & cropping to scope (2.35 to 1) shouldn't make a big difference in grain, but it might. Cropping Super35 to scope, however, might make a big difference, going by the wikipedia article....
