Cheers mate, thanks for checking out the video!

Hope you enjoy it! it's an incredible film.

Hopefully later this year 🤞 rumours saying 2025 but taking those with a pinch of salt

Thanks brother, was just on my way to check out your 4K set unboxing! Given both the version I got and the one you went for cost near enough the same as the ( now cancelled) KOSM disk-less version that was planned. Feel the Japanese editions are absolutely going to be THE nicest editions out there! There was an empty Steelbook that came bundled with the 4K but it was mental money when I looked. Cheers for checking the video out mate. X

Flixtor.

Nice! Hope you enjoy the movie when you check it out!

@@TheFanaticalDragon I will watch it tonight. I downloaded both versions. They still have not even announced it anywhere else?

@mg-ThisHandleIsSoStupid nope. Rumours say not till 2025. Others say it’ll be released in the autumn in the U.K. but nothing confirmed yet

I read the 4k has no English subs. Is this true?

Truth, none of the Japanese -1 releases have English subs. Neither the 4K or the one in my video. Depending on your 4K / Bluray player you can add English subs via usb stick, but not every player offers that function.

@@TheFanaticalDragon Thanks for responding so fast. I'll look into how to use the USB for subs.

@charliebronson1274 no worries, hope you get lucky! not every player can. Supposedly some Panasonic and oppo units are the most likely. Neither of mine do. But I’ve seen the movie a few times already at the cinema so didn’t really miss not having subtitles and in time I’ll swap out the discs for English friendly ones after they get released. I mostly picked up the set to be able to see the minus colour edit of the movie and it didn’t disappoint!

you started with a very high bar, definitely also check out Shin Godzilla, the 1954 original, Gareth Edwards 2014 American version and if you want to dip your toe into the Showa era, I'd say start with Invasion of the Astro Monsters or Godzilla Vs Mechagodzilla and see how you find those.

I really dig it, I actually also just picked up a really nice Manta Lab 4K release of 2014, I should really post an unboxing for it too sometime.

I hope so too mate, sure we will eventually. I preferred this over Shin Godzilla ( which I also really enjoyed) Minis One is a much more accessible story, I did really enjoy Gareth Edwards Godzilla (2014) and thought King of the Monsters and Skull Island were both ok, but Really struggled with Godzilla Vs Kong, Godzilla X Kong and the Legacy show. I know they have their fans, but they fell short for me. Had much higher hopes for Godzilla X Kong, I really dig on Adam Wingard’s earlier movie The Guest.

@@TheFanaticalDragon for me you can never beat Toho but i take the legendary series for what they are over the top dumb fun and i love Godzilla and have since i was a kid so any fix will do, still need to to watch the netflix animated films and series, awesome boxset cheers

I prefer physical media too and don’t have Netflix. There are a few options: A) some Bluray players ( Some Panasonic models and Oppo are the most common) allow you to add a subtitle track from a usb stick (or HD attached via usb ) B) rip the Bluray into a MKV file and add your own subtitles using VLC player then watch via computer or burn a new disc ( I don’t have the ability to do this one) C) watch the movie on Netflix for now and order the Japanese set as it’s in stunning packaging and you can swap out the disc for a eventual official physical media release when Netflix releases its stranglehold on it later this year or next. D) buy a bootleg version from eBay or sloppy seconds. E) if you have the patience. Wait for the eventual Bluray release in the West. :)

それが現実さ

It will, Japan and the USA are both region A in general, But this particular release is region free.

Sweet thank you for the info!!

As I explained in the video and the description box, No English subs. it plays in US Blu-ray players. No DVD’s are included in this set at all.

You need a BluRay player that supports external subtitles

huh? Not sure what the second half of your question means, but yes, You can play this bluray in a bluray player. Japan and American both use Region A disc encoding, but this release is multi region, It'll play just fine in any player.

Thank you for the information awesome something debating about buying this set​@@TheFanaticalDragon

This version? Add Eng subtitles via USB stick if your player supports that function or else wait until it gets a English friendly release.

They will eventually.

@@TheFanaticalDragon This will please me.

I heard Criterion Collection is doing G-1.0

@tinlunlau1 where did you hear that? Netflix has it in its clutches now.

@@tinlunlau1 Oh my god really?!?!?!?

nope - no English subtitle(s)

Aye

悲しいことに、私は裕福ではありません、ただ非常に選択的であるだけです。

Thanks brother, I totally regret mentioning Godzilla X Kong in the video at all tbh, lost a bunch of subscribers and received a whole bunch of angry messages from people who don't like that i didn't have the same opinion on the movie that they did. I should have known better. in hindsight, would have been much better to just focus on the box in hand.

@@TheFanaticalDragon Sadly, that's the default these days with expressing opinions on the internet. Sorry you had to deal with such simple minded folk, but cheers to you for being able shed such fairweather fans. Way overdue, and again apologies for taking so long, but if you'd like to have a real conversation about what you like and dislike about anything really, we would love to have you on!

I hear that comparison quite a lot, i don't agree with it at all, I adore the Showa era Godzilla ( and Gamera) movies. Godzilla X Kong didn't remind me of them whatsoever. The Showa era movies had a whole lot of heart. I find no meaningful comparison to be made between the American made Monsterverse movies and anything coming out of Japan. I found Godzilla X Kong to be extremely soulless and worst of all for a monster movie, rather boring. but like i said in the video, if you enjoyed the movie, great! I didn't at all. That shouldn't remotely bother anyone who did enjoy it in the slightest. It's crazy to me how much it seems to.
