Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great transfer and great overall quality for the price paid! I'm a HUGE fan of these types of films (Godzilla; Mothra, etc.) so adding this to my collection was a no brainier YET had I of read the back cover just a BIT more thoroughly, I'd have discovered that the audio tracks are ALL in the original Japanese with no English dubbing. Granted their ARE English subtitles just not dubbed into English. Not a huge disappointment but....nonetheless.

This review will compare the new Mill Creek Gamera Blu-ray collection against the 4 year old Shout Factory DVD collection. EQUIPMENT USED FOR COMPARISON Samsung BD-E5900 vs. Oppo 981HD up-conversion player. PQ - Millcreeks Blu-ray is considerably clearer and brighter than the Shout Factory DVD's regardless of the fact that Mill Creek crammed 4 films onto 1 Blu-ray it still comes out on top. Colors are deeper and subtitles are crisp and clear. I ran DVD vs. Blu-ray side by side and it was very clear to me that Mill Creeks Gamera collection is far superior to that of Shout Factory visually speaking of course. *** winner Mill Creek *** AQ - Shout Factory released all the English dubs that were used in the American versions and could be toggled back & forth between dubs while also offering a very clear mono Japanese soundtrack. Mill Creeks decision to only offer the original Japanese soundtrack without the English dubs falls back on their decision to cram 4 films onto 1 disc which is a shame. Japanese with English subtitles are the only option on Mill Creeks Gamera collection yet the mono track is very clear which is no surprise since the stock used in Mill Creeks release are the very same ones used in Shout Factories Gamera collection. Shout factory came out on top due to the english dubs offered. *** winner Shout Factory *** Extra's - very sparse on both releases only offering up film trailers. *** no winner *** If it were not for the fact that Mill Creeks Gamera collection was priced so cheaply I would recommend those of you that have the Shout Factory set to skip it altogether since I hate the double-dip.... Yet the picture quality is such a large step up on the Mill Creek set that I must recommend this product to those of you that already have a set of Gamera DVD's these Blu-rays trump them in video clarity, color & contrast. I will still keep my Shout Factory set since watching those English dubs bring back warm & fuzzy creature feature memories from my childhood. Mill Creek Gamera Volume 1 is thereby recommended!

I grew up in the 70s and every weekend there would be creature features on the local 3 stations. I remember Gamera fondly from those days. As an adult the films don't bring me as much joy as my childhood, but they are still a good romp. I have always wondered why Gamera did do as well as Godzilla. These movies do showcase the late 60s Japanese monster movie style, at its highlight. I really enjoy the fight scenes, about as funny as they are thrilling. Glad this came out in a set and at 7.99 how could I pass it up. Great Deal.

I love kaiju films. While Godzilla may be King of the Monsters, Gamera is the Guardian of the Universe! These movies are just fun to watch, and worthy of being on the same level as... well, okay, right under Godzilla, but he's up there! Millcreek gets you nearly all of his movies in 3 easy and cheap sets, on Blu-ray, taking advantage of the space these discs have. These are fun movies and a great way to use up a weekend vegging out in front of the big screen. Thanks Millcreek. Now if Gamera the Brave was in print, I'd have the whole set.

OK, here's the deal: Kick your "willing suspension of disbelief" into gear and just enjoy. This movie is from a time when fantasy not only had a "gutt" appeal, but tried to send a message as well. Here's a "monster" that not only wreaked havoc, but loved kids. What else is there to say?

I love this movie. The DVD came with 3 movies. I have been looking for a couple years for this at a reasonable price. This movie is like the original Godzilla movies. The actors mouth does not match the words you hear. You must like the Godzilla movies in order to like Gomera. My daughters ( 21 & 18) do not like this movie.

I am glad to see Gamera is getting more recogniton and am finally able his first movies on glorious HD! They do have odd rythms, the second movie looks too adult and the one with the American White kid is almost like a Chabelo movie. Still great stuff!

I'm a big fan of large collections of old movies on blu ray to reignite interest on past films. Good collection but sold in separate volumes.

Gamera fans will love this. Not only was it priced under $10 you get multiple movies on blu ray. What could be better?

This collection is a treasure for someone like me, sure the first movie and the one with the American kid are terrible (last one mentioned feels like a Chabelo movie) but it is nice to have these collections!

These are some classic monster movies. Not as good as Godzilla but still good.

These are pretty good old monster movies. Not quite up to par with Godzilla.

I always liked gamera movies, Granted he is no Godzilla but still offred a good story and enjoyment as a kid watching monster movies.

Four classic Japanese monster movies on one blu ray for a very reasonable price! If you're a Kaiju completist, these Gamera collections are MUST HAVES.

Finally a great collection of the older Gamera movies on Blu-ray!

A classic kaiju film that's made for any Gamera fan!

Ever since I saw that never thought Gamera was that good of a movie.

gamera is a great real monster movie love these movies and godzilla

great gift for any fan of godzilla and monster movies
