Now here's a great idea for a thread. The discussion is about which kaiju DVD boasts the best stereo presentation? This thread will also provide a measurement stick for any R1, R2, R3, R4 disks. Sound elements to consider: does the soundtrack enhance the destruction and fights scenes? Does the score come through clear enough to match the monster action? Do the screams and dialog come through clearly? Does the bass shake your foundations? I would like to propose two categories, one for strongest recent production (meaning anything from the 1990s on (latest G-flicks, Gamera 1-4, etc). For the other sound category, let's call it "best restoration", meaning which older flicks have with original mono sound benefits the most from a 5.1 remix?. Maybe a third category for best English dub (with DD 5.1 sound). Let's hear your thoughts.
