The Original Japanese Masterpiece

The ocean's surface boils white-hot and a Japanese freighter mysteriously vanishes in the Pacific. Rescue boats meets the same fate, and the superstitious villagers of Odo Island fear an ancient legend has come true: the legend of Godzilla! Reawakened from eons-long sleep by an H-bomb test, the behemoth seeks revenge on the civilized world, turning Tokyo into a wasteland of atomic fire and rubble. Caught in the monster's path of destruction are young lovers Emiko and Ogata, who must betray their friend Dr. Serizawa, a brilliant but tormented scientist, in order to save the world.

Classic Media presents the original and uncut Japanese-language version of Ishiro Honda's Gojira (1954), critically acclaimed as a bold anti-nuclear allegory and one of the greatest monster movies of all time.

The clarity of the picture is very good and not disappointing

Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2015

Verified Purchase

I purchased Gojira Blu-Ray back in June 2015 and finally had a chance to view it. The clarity of the picture is very good and not disappointing. I was disappointed because Godzilla king of the monsters starring Raymond Burr was not in it as described, however I also purchased Godzilla the criterion collection in Blu-Ray which had both movies as listed. I'm a true Godzilla fan since I was a kid and just starting to build my Godzilla collection in Blu-Ray. If your looking for Godzilla King of the monsters in Blu-Ray please purchase the criterion edition of Godzilla😎

BLU-RAY VERSION

Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2009

Verified Purchase

This review is for the Blu-Ray version of Gojira. Which Amazon, in its infinite wisdom, has not only bunched the reviews, but the contents of the regular DVD into the description.

I'm torn between liking this and hating this Blu-Ray version. The picture is tight. And I mean real tight. The images on my Sony XBR 34 HD are practically 3D. The lighting, except for some natural blemish, is gorgeous just like the night scenes are beautifully hellish. It's also cool seeing all the wires (FX) and folds of the G-suit in Blu-Ray tightness. My complaints are the following: This print should have been restored. To have all the lines and scratches on a Blu-Ray transfer just doesn't make sense and makes you feel like you've wasted some cash. I also believe that even in this "original" Japanese" version there was a scene cut out. I remember Ogata and crew travelling on a train and Emiko talking about how she survived Nagasaki. At least I think I saw this in the Realto version when they had a limited release a few years ago in NYC. I would have also like to have seen some sort of interview, whether made for the DVD or old newsreel clips, of the people who took part in creating the film. Such as Ishiro Honda, Akira Ifukube and so on. The extras provided by American fans are actually interesting but it would have been a nice accompaniment to have the real players involved.

That is all.

Gojira Review

Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2009

There is so much that I like about this film that's its hard to begin. The plot of this film is really good, and has a dark tone to it. The love triangle between Emiko, Ogata, and Serizawa was very well done. The character of Dr. Yamane is probably the best character of the humans anyway. Yamane wants to study Godzilla, and find out why it was able to survive and absorb the radiation, while the others want to kill it. The soundtrack for this film is amazing, and is some of the greatest work of composer Akira Ifukube. The title monster is really iconic(it has 28 films don't you know), and is an allegory to the nuclear bomb. The destruction the creature causes was an allusion to the destruction caused by the atomic bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The whole message that Yamane gave at the end about using nuclear weapons, and the possibility of another Godzilla appearing was really wonderful. The scene where Dr. Serizawa chose to kill himself so the oxygen destroyer won't end up in the wrong hands was GREAT.This film is so great that there hasn't been any Giant Monster movie that comes close to how great this is.....until 1999 when "Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris" was released. The best thing about this film is that you really get a sense of the power of Nuclear destruction in Godzilla's rampage.

There is a noticeable difference between the puppet version of Godzilla's head and that of the actual suit, but to it didn't take away from my enjoyment at all.

Blu-Ray not as advertised

Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2011

Verified Purchase

Amazon's description for the Blu-ray edition states, "Also included is Godzilla, King of the Monsters (1956), the popular 'Americanized' version starring Raymond Burr..." This is false. The Blu-Ray version does NOT include the Americanized cut. Amazon appears to have lifted this wording from the 2-disc standard DVD set, "Gojira / Godzilla Deluxe Collector's Edition." And considering this Blu-ray's poor image quality (described in other reviews), that standard DVD set is clearly a better choice at half the price.

I purchased this blu ray as the description indicated that both the Japanese and English versions were included. However, this is not the case. Only the Japanese version is on this disc. The disc was returned for a full refund without a problem.

Godzilla on Blu-ray

Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2009

Verified Purchase

I already have the standard deff release of this classic, cant wait to see what the Blu-ray version looks like.
But I dont need to see it to rate it 5 stars, unless the studio does something really stupid with the transfer.
EDIT: I still give the original Japanese version 5 stars, but I have learned from the comments, and after reading
the review of the Blu-ray release compared to the Sony and BFI versions at DVDBeaver, the Blu-ray transfer is sadly lacking.
What a downer!!! I canceled my Blu-ray pre-order. I guess I will just stick with my Sony version which has the
original and the "Americanized" chopped up version with Raymond Burr on a seperate disc.
Maybe someday someone will release this classic on Blu and do it right. I am so dissapointed.

Gojira not Godzilla

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 5, 2016

Verified Purchase

Great great great movie with at least three remakes of it over the last 50 years. But Gojira is the best and the original. Yet it is not available in the UK on Blu-Ray. So I took a chance and bought a Region A copy. I got it and it plays perfectly on my Region B player. Picture and sound quality is beautiful.

Version japonaise originale mais non restaurée

Reviewed in France on June 23, 2014

Verified Purchase

Le film est légendaire. Le blu-ray présente des scènes que je n'avais jamais vues. Le son est bien restauré mais l'image souffre par moment de rayures, tâches et sautes indiquant que la restauration de l'image est très aléatoire. Les sous-titres en revanche (en anglais) sont lisibles et correctement traduits.

Entertaining!

Reviewed in Canada on July 21, 2011

Verified Purchase

Fun movie, provided that you're not expecting the visceral experience that comes with more true-to-life special effects (as available today). Not sure if points where the sound is tiny and the contrast is so dark that it is difficult to make things out are as per the original, yet they detract from the experience to a certain degree.
