Are there any details about the length of the feature yet?

Thomas Tull said Edwards was planning to assemble a DC of the film. Edwards has also said they cut lots of footage that would be on the BD. Also, the dearth of worthy bonus content for such a big film seems to indicate they're holding better features back, to me at least.

Good to know. Looks like 2D it is then.

^ I agree - I thought the conversion was pretty poor and not worth it - I had to see it as such, to hear it in Dolby Atmos though.

I saw it in both 2D & 3D and there was probably a single scene that was worth the 3D.

Laying on the railway bridge with the MUTO walking under it....that is it.

I was able to get Amazon to pricematch Target on the MetalPak for $22.99

Did we ever find out what the Target exclusive features were?

Target has a 30 minute documentary titled "Godzilla: Rebirth of an Icon." That's worth $3 extra bucks to me.

Thanks. That Captain America debacle pissed me off. No more digital downloads from them.

I thought there was supposed to be a Steelbook (or Steelpack whatever) release? Went to Best Buy on my lunch hour and all they had were the regular cases, same thing at Target.

From what I've read, the only store that got the metal pack is FYE. It's already back ordered at Amazon. WB might be having some distribution issues with it.

I'm surprised you opted out of the 3D version OldBoy.

Re: Godzilla - 9/16/14

It wouldn't surprise me if distributors are consciously limiting availability to retailers for release week, taking a page out of Nintendo's marketing playbook. The delay creates an aura of scarcity and a signal to consumers it's a desirable product. I've noticed it more and more with media releases in the past five years.

Thx for the headsup. Since Amazon fucking delayed my shipment, I canceled it. Will get Target version for the 30 minute documentary

Re: Godzilla - 9/16/14

Are there two different versions at Target? Mine has a different cover than in the ad and it doesn't say anything about the exclusive feature.

Yep, sounds like you picked up the regular edition.

Re: Godzilla - 9/16/14

Almost made the same mistake when I was in my Target this afternoon. Pick up the regular edition and notice there was another version with a different cover. Check on the sticker which said has the Target bonus disc and look at the back cover which has the word Target Exclusive written on. Got that version instead.
