Aintitcool.com has a nice review of the soon to be released Godzilla Criterion
film, specifically the Blu-Ray.In essence they highlight the near flawless picture produced, with must restoration done to make the film(s) as crisp and clean as possible.
Now apparently it's not necessarily fantastic looking, but it looks good enough to get the most out of Blu-Ray's capacity.
He goes on to state that the audio commentary provided on both films (Gojira and Godzilla) by David Kalat are fantastic. Without straying too far into scholarly land, David is still able to provide enough information to make it geeky amount of fun.
In other words he is able to keep your interest without sounding too snotty, something that apparently other Criterion releases failed to do.
And then there's a whole checklist of items that come with the release, too many to name here but definitely something that can be read on the review below.
There's even a mini-documentary chronicling the Lucky Dragon #5 boat, the one that inspired this film to first be made.
(Interesting side note that I was not aware about. The front cover artwork is done by none other than cover artist Bill Sienkiewicz! Great stuff).
All in all author "Monty Cristo" gives the Blu-Ray very high marks, and finishes by stating "no offense to the previous Classic Media releases (on DVD and Blu-ray), but this edition eclipses everything that has come before quite handily".
Great to hear this happen with Godzilla, so outstanding work Criterion.
I personally can't wait to pick up this copy.
