Shin Godzilla Home Video Release

[akanes_kiryu]

It wasn't close to full HD. A full HD copy of a movie comes on a 25 to 50 GB disc. A file coming in under 1GB, even accounting for the missing footage, could maybe register as posing as HD footage.

Watermarks are also different for different companies. Some companies have sneaky ones throughout the movie, others have a block of text that only pops up periodically in a minority of scenes.

EDIT: I'm not saying that that disc is 100% legit, either. I'm just saying that as a source, that does make sense.

[Chris55]

Well. Guess that would explain that. From Monster Attack Team's page.

Looks like crap in comparison to what's been leaked. Low bitrate, artifacting everywhere etc.

[omgitsgodzilla]

What's circulating now didn't come from a DVD. The bitrate is low, but the resolution is still 720p and it definitely isn't an upscale.

About freaking time. 8 months after the cinema release, that's like twice as long as most movies take in the West.

Hopefully Madman will bring it here to Australia before the end of next year.

And look at that, me having just got a 4K TV.

[Spuro]

I'm assuming it's Region 2 only?

[alberchico]

So this blu-ray set will cost approx 70 USD ? Sheesh...

[UltramanGoji]

Japan has the same Blu-Ray region as us, so I think it'd probably play on most players.

Kind of a shame we won't get that big of a release over in the states. We'll be lucky to get any sort of special features.

You, uh, did see that it's a 4-disc release, right?

[Cookson]

Will be pre ordered once cdjapan has it up.

[GargantuaTarantula]

Is there any word on if this will have subtitles? I've never bought a bluray out of the country.

[SpaceG92]

Pretty sure it'll have Japanese subtitles. . .

Oh, you mean English subtitles, my bad. Not many releases have English subs, I wouldn't count on Shin having them.

Good to know thanks, I'll have to wait for the American Release

Mirjahangir: When the Blu-Ray release comes out in the US will it have the same bonus features as what's on the Japanese version or would it be something entirely different?

Fruge´: It's a little different. I've been in the home video entertainment industry now for about eight years and the licenser side versus licensee side it's a little different. So we will have some special features that the Japanese have on theirs and some we won't. It really depends on what we're able to get our hands on, what they're willing to share, and or what we're willing to add ourselves for the US release.

Sorry Chris, but after the whole "deleted scenes/director's cut" nonsense with G14, I'll wait until they actually release the Blu-Ray before I expect any special features.

[Chris55]

Hey, I can only print what they tell me their answers are.

[Showa Gyaos]

Sorry Chris, but after the whole "deleted scenes/director's cut" nonsense with G14, I'll wait until they actually release the Blu-Ray before I expect any special features.

A director's cut was never guaranteed in the first place. From what I can remember, it was stated that such features would be up to Gareth Edwards or something along those lines.

I never expected it to happen for that reason.

[Mechagigan]

Long as the US DVD has the movie subtitled, I'm happy. I hardly expect anything of worth from..

A) plain ol' non Blu-Ray DVDs
or
B) Godzilla DVDs in general

in the special features category anymore. My copy of G'14 just has some crappy MUTO descriptions and some other little thing I don't remember, with the most vanilla menu design I've seen outside of my burning software.

I'd hope Shin is 'unique' enough to get more attention, but I wouldn't be shocked if we just get a few trailers or something.
