Shin Godzilla releases on Blu-Ray tomorrow. Anyone here going

>>80712516

Maybe.

Won't there inevitably be a North American release though, and probably cheaper?

Unless there's a particularly nice limited edition, I don't see any reason to import. Especially since, as you stated, there won't be subs.

torrent it, never watch it, get my opinion from this board.

probably

Funimation already has the distribution rights though, iirc. Hell, it even got a modestly big limited theatrical release here in America.

I'm sure that, inevitably, it'll make it's way stateside.

>>80712516
it's bad so no reason to buy it

>>80712688
That was just for the theatrical release though.

Toho is notorious for being cunts about distributing their films outside of Japan, or even including other languages are subs/dubs.

Kong is beautiful but meaningless. Anno's Godzilla has message just like the old one.

>>80712901
It wouldn't even be hard to get a US release though. They would only have to translate the menus, since the film has never been dubbed.

Holy hot damn I had no clue. Looking forward to watching in HD. That Tokyo scene at nightfall. Anno's go-time music from Evangelion. That GOD DAMN final shot. I'm damn excited.

This is directed by Hideaki Anno. Meaning that even if this doesn't get a US release, some autist Evangelion fans will spend months translating the movie, debating on the most accurate translations, making things as perfect as possible and be release on the net in a few months.

The movie will end up subbed on the internet but what's really fucked is if we're gonna miss out on the special features

>>80717165
they'll most likely end up online, just not translated. I imagine a bluray rip will show up on rutracker

Somebody explain this shit for me

>>80717399
Godzilla's body is constantly evolving.

Right before the nigga got frozen his body realized the next best way for it to continue surviving and fucking shit up is to take on the form of multiple humanoid beings.

Best movie of 2016

Shin Godzilla seriously was just a chore to sit through.

Look, I get it, you wanted this movie to say something again and at times it does have some powerful imagery and allegory with SOME rightfully earned dramatic tension, but it's mostly just a rather horribly paced slog. It spends so much time on the politics of the whole situation, without much of the actual intrigue to keep viewers truly invested. Sometimes it almost seems like it's a directorial exercise of how many different ways he can shoot people talking in a room and the back of their heads. .

Look, I'm not saying I need a mindless monster movie, I can appreciate a more cerebral film as well as a popcorn flick, but this political talk is done to such an obsessive degree that it's literally them mulling over every little detail for the most part without much at all to break up that monotony.

>>80718304
And I'm not even saying it had to just have more Godzilla, I would have voted to also have a pair of boots on the ground to view the destruction from a different angle, and also possibly bring in an element of personal drama for the politicians who all seem strangely unphased by the possibility a giant creature potentially killed their family ravaging through Tokyo. Just a different perspective than a goddamn board room meeting would have eased it up, and even bring even more of an emotional angle to it all. Like, that scene that reminded me of the Tsunamis that hit Japan a few years ago, that was powerful. Imagine another pair of eyes on the receiving end. But it's one shot after these politicians just like, "hey, look at this, well back to the meeting."

Also, while the scenes with Godzilla are still pretty great, the middle of the film is where it really picks up. And the ending is just pretty anti-climatic. Yea, you can argue that's technically a little more realistic as not everything needs to go out with a bang, but is it wrong for me to still be under the impression that this is still SUPPOSED to be a Godzilla movie? Guys, some more excitement wouldn't hurt. Understand your source material's legacy.

It's by no means the worst Godzilla film ever, but it sure as hell isn't the best either. I don't care what anyone says, but the American 2014 remake had more to appreciate if you ask me. It was still very much a Godzilla film, and when he was on screen, it was the Kaiju fights of dreams. But I also appreciated the pretty tense, horror movie-ish cinematography throughout. It's not perfect, and not even my favorite Godzilla film, but I was at least fairly entertained throughout. Like, 70% of Shin Godzilla was just, lack of a better term, straight up boring.

And this rant is keeping my personal hatred of Hideaki Anno's previous work and sometimes himself aside.

All we can hope for is that some autist fan-subs the whole thing. Problem is that they have to do it properly, with the location subs being at the top of the screen like in the theatrical version, and not intermingled with the speech subs at the bottom. Otherwise we will have to wait like 6 more months until Funimation puts out their release

>>80717399
>>80717491

The only way it could become more monstrous was to become man itself.

>>80718455
If only the Japs would stop being so selfish.

You know, if it wasn't for us, they'd have never gotten the idea for Godzilla in the first place.

This is a Hideaki Anno film we're talking about. There are still autist Evangelion fans arguing about the proper translation for certain lines. It will get done, and there will be several different versions.

Funimation has full release rights and confirmed the blu ray release. It'll probably be on their streaming service and crunchyroll as well.

It's the 22nd in Nipstan. Still no torrents.

>>80723013
The release was delayed by a year or so because Anno thought Funimation did a shit job with their translation.

>>80723013
Took like two years for the Bluray to be released with the release date constantly being pushed back.

>>80722961
yeah, let's not get carried away, it's a decent reconstruction for the first half, then turns into total borefest that's hardly even a Godzilla movie for weirdness' sake. pretty much the Alien Resurrection of the franchise.

>That feel when you watch Shin Godzilla and suddenly you hear EVA music

Anytime Shin Godzilla is on screen the movie is great but the constant scenes of bureaucrats talking about how they can't possibly nuke Godzilla because that would destroy their fucking city and how terrible Americans are is boring as hell to sit through

If I was Trump I would have groups of soldiers take Japanese women hostage daily to send a message

That's essentially what it comes down to though.
Americans complaining about Shin Godzilla went in expecting capeshit and got an actual film instead.

You still want more of what the American Godzilla wants which is hardly what could be called a Godzilla film. It was nothing more than a glorified army recruitment film whereas with Shin it went back to the roots. Have you even seen the original?

This might be true of Kong, but does not fit G'14.

>with Shin it went back to the roots.
It really didn't, not after the first 10 minutes or so. And all the elements it did carry over lacked the earnest and tragic feel '54 has. Shin's boardroom scenes and political commentary felt like a weird mix of The Social Network and the talky parts of Final Wars. Did not have the heart of the original.

>Have you even seen the original?
It's without a doubt my favorite one. You keep barking up at the wrong tree.
