Godzilla 4K Ultra HD - The Criterion Collection

Godzilla (a.k.a. Gojira) is the roaring granddaddy of all monster movies. It’s also a remarkably humane and melancholy drama, made in Japan at a time when the country was reeling from nuclear attack and H-bomb testing in the Pacific. Its rampaging radioactive beast, the poignant embodiment of an entire population’s fears, became a beloved international icon of destruction, spawning more than thirty sequels. A thrilling, tactile spectacle that continues to be a cult phenomenon, the original 1954 Japanese version is presented here, along with Godzilla, King of the Monsters, the 1956 “Americanized” version.Film Info• Japan• 1954• 96 minutes• Black & White• 1.37:1• Japanese• Spine #5944K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES• New 4K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack• [4k ONLY] One 4K UHD disc of the film and one Blu-ray with the film and special features• High-definition digital restoration of Godzilla, King of the Monsters, Terry Morse’s 1956 reworking of the ori
