Godzilla [Includes Digital Copy] [Blu-ray] [1998]

Matthew Broderick plays an excellent part as a brilliant scientist which the military government ignores his intelligence and advice. One of the best Godzilla movies ever made with lots of action and destruction! Who does more destruction to New York, Godzilla or the military? And it leaves you with a cliffhanger. A five-star production with five star acting and all around awesome movie!

As a hardcore Godzilla fan, this is one item that I've been waiting for to come out in Steelbook and was not disappointed in what I received.

I’ve always loved this movie and it’s even better 4K Blu Ray. The steelbook is a must have edition.

Godzilla is a monumental cinematic achievement that pays homage to the iconic monster while delivering a thrilling and visually stunning experience. The film masterfully balances the awe-inspiring scale of the creature with heartfelt human drama, creating a compelling narrative that keeps audiences engaged throughout. With its impeccable special effects, powerful soundtrack, and outstanding performances by the cast, Godzilla reigns supreme as a must-see blockbuster for fans of the legendary kaiju.

Ok..so this movie came out in 1998 and it had HUGE expectations due that this was America's first true take on telling the tale of Godzilla. I will say that Godzilla enthusiasts like myself felt that it came up a little short, but to say that this movie is bad is incorrect. It is an action packed roller coaster ride that has all of the things that a summer blockbuster of any time period needs. The intial arrival in NY city was amazing and although I have not watched my 4K transfer, I am so pumped to see what it is going to look like, I believe if you are an action movie junkie, monster movie fan, or even a Godzilla enthusiast then this movie is a must own for y our collection.

The picture is the best the film is going to look. I was torn buying it because I did t want ANOTHER copy with the big eye poster. When I saw the slip I thought I might get it instead because of the foot poster art used instead. Well i picked the steel anyway and I’m so thrilled to report the foot poster is on the rear and it has spot gloss. Really this is one of my favorite steelbooks. Couldn’t ask for better

My review is strictly in regards to 4K presentation. This is a demo 4K disc. When you have friends over and want to show them the PQ and AQ that 4K has to offer, this is what you pop in. I won't get into a review of the movie itself. I will say the current Godzilla and Godzilla King of the Monsters blows this away as a film. However, this is still a fun movie. This is a "popcorn movie" which means you don't need to analyze it. You just go with it and have fun.

With so many different versions of Godzillas out there and various movies, this version may not rank as the best but I always found it a guilty pleasure. The 4K version is the one to watch if you're in the same situation. Picture has the expected uplift to 4K but it's the audio and the Dolby Atmos soundtrack that really takes it to the next level. Much more enveloping and pulling you into the movie over other versions.
