Adam Wingard is slated to direct Godzilla vs King Kong. I can't imagine how his sensibilities will translate to giant monster action but at least we know the sound design will be top notch.

Kong: those monsters from space, are they bigger than you?
Godzilla: yeah.
Kong: then bring a knife to battle. If they take it off you and breathe lightning on you, you go around their lairs at night and burn them down with their families inside. What's the worst they can do?

Godzilla 2014 was good but then shin Godzilla came along and there's no real reason to go back.

I see this a lot and I can't figure it out. I saw fewer bad CG shots in Shin than I do in many movies that had eight or nine times its budget.


That scene wasn't CGI. None or drat near none of the effects in Independence Day were.

I recall reading that some of the cgi in shin was deliberately bad, when Anno came on to direct he made the effect artists roll back to less finished versions. The early Godzilla forms, the blood gushing out of its gills, and the evolution shot are pretty janky, but as a stylistic choice it works to disarm the viewer so when the big form shows up it's that much more effective

The meetings moving from room to room has a purpose. Some rooms are 'Official' meeting rooms, where minutes have to be taken and the meeting recorded, others are not. When the administration thinks it knows whats going on it goes official, when it turns out they have no idea, it goes unofficial.

The purpose is that it's a good joke that despite all the hustling to and fro nothing gets accomplished, thus the meeting in a stairwell getting the same style title as the official conference rooms

It's easy to overlook amid all the spectacle but the real gut punch in shin is that one long pull out shot followed by real photos of the atomic bombing aftermath

I don't feel like I know what godzilla vs kong even IS in this universe. King kong is like 100 feet tall and godzilla is like 1000 feet tall and has a bunch of superpowers.

They have made kongs and godzillas that make sense to have fight, these ones seem like, the power levels don't match up at all. Is kong gonna like, climb all over godzilla and poke him in the eyes or something?

Giant monster sized Home Alone-style traps on skull island like the third act of You're Next

Godzilla is just standing way in the background wearing the same stilts he had when he stood up in the middle of the ocean in king of the monsters

The Blu-ray is the same as the original issue.

Here's some of what Blu-ray.com said about the 4k disc:


If you are wondering, 2160p was not a typo. This transfer is from a 2k digital intermediate so it, "...technically makes this an upscale."

4k is 2160p. 2k isn't a commonly used term for video resolution, are you saying the digital intermediary was 1080p?

lol they did the same thing with Shin, which they also decided to extend its theatrical run due to its popularity. Have a little more self confidence Toho!

This is my exact opinion on the movie except I'm also headbanging to the end credits and proposing to the girl I love during the Mothra waterfall scene (She said no).
