Godzilla (2014)

[Dave_6]

My Kuro should love this disc!

What i don't get is the (AUDIO ISSUE) why would they allow that?

Obviously a botched transfer, and someone needs to contact WB and demand answers.

I must have missed that conversation. What's the audio issue?

From my other post.

Audio issue
One note: At 1:18:02, as a train is derailed, a skip occurred in the audio track. It’s unknown at this whether this was our review copy or something affecting the wider release. As such, for now, we’re ignoring it until confirmation is made.

That's one review. Wait to see if other people that have the 2D disc have the same problem.

I watched the film in complete darkness and it looked fine but sitting here in work it is very difficult to make out those screen grabs so they are definitely not a good indication of how it will look on your TV assuming you watch it in the dark, if you attempt to watch it during the day then it could be quite tricky.

So, which store is carrying the MetalPak? I am assuming there is no steelbook for this title.

What about any audio issues??

Every retailer should have the Metalpak. It's a wide release, not exclusive.
No steelbook...at least not in the US.

I'll probably go for Wal-Mart then as they usually have the best price on new releases and will of course match Amazon.

its nothing but trex jurassic park in the movie...except the very last roar at the end of the movie has a hint of real godzilla

You really need to get your ears checked. The 2014 roar sounds nothing like the Jurassic Park T-Rex.

I think you're pretty much the only person trying to make this comparison. When people first heard the new roar no one said it wasn't Godzilla or that it sounded too much like JP rex.

[brooks101189]

Yes, Godzilla's roar in the 2014 film is very distinctly a more demonic version of the original Godzilla roar. It even has the end rumble of a Godzilla roar.

Godzilla 2014 and JP T-Rex sound nothing alike.

no. i wouldnt...no one knows what a dinosaur really sounded like...but we know exactly how godzilla is supposed to sound.

They both end the same way with that low rumble. 2014 is just louder because he's three times bigger than any other Godzilla. However, it's pointless to argue with you because you're hard-headed and a waste of forum space to argue with.

like i said only the final roar in the movie was done mildy similar...the rest of the movie? nope...they changed the roar to much and basically went jurassic park.

[Show spoiler]it was a buzzkill after he kills the female muto and i hear the trex.

they never should have changed it to begin with.

proof...the simlarity is almost non existent.
yet compare it to the trex scene above...and

I watched the Blu-ray last night. I have a JVC X-700 that is calibrated to the nines. Anyone that knows anything about my system knows that you'd be hard pressed to improve on any area of it. I am also extremely nitpicky about video and audio presentations and generally find a lot of issues that most don't.

I thought Godzilla had a FANTASTIC video presentation and I don't see any of the issues that were called out in the posted review on the last page. Compression and banding was never an issue. This was shot digitally so it does have a VERY clean look to it and the typical touch of softness that some associated with digital photography, but it isn't dull or soft by any standards. The movie is somewhat dark but not crushed in any way. Black levels were fine and shadow detail was far better than I saw in theaters.

The soundtrack is one of the best I've heard on Blu-ray ever. I would put it in my top 3 for surround soundstage and the bass presence is incredible. This is a disc I will use for demos for many years to come.

I think your miles on this disc will ultimately come down to the capabilities of your playback system. Gamma calibration and contrast capabilities will certainly play into it. What your audio system is (or isn't) capable of will also determine how good it will sound. The bottom end presence will demand a lot from your subs.

You mean this..?

That is not the JP rex roar. If you really want to hear what creature sounds identical to it, look no further than the thanator from James Cameron's Avatar. Even the horses in that movie use raptor grunts.

If you really still think the 2014 Godzilla and JP Rex roar still sound completely identical, then I think you're just trolling at this point. Look, no one I've seen has made mention of this so called similarity besides you. Don't you think that to be a bit strange?
