Re: Godzilla (Edwards, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

There are kids who are upset over being separated from their parents. Kids in danger either by themselves or there's a schoolbus load of them on the Golden Gate Bridge while it's breaking apart. But many of these scenes are in the trailers.

By the way, I saw a trailer for it yesterday and have a question for those who saw the movie.

Re: Godzilla (Edwards, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

I haven't seen the movie yet by isn't that Statue of Liberty from New York New York on Las Vegas? I assume the destruction of Vegas is present in the film.

Re: Godzilla (Edwards, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

^ Yes this is the answer to that question.

Re: Godzilla (Edwards, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

Yes but I am talking about the shot. I don't remember seeing it in the movie.

Re: Godzilla (Edwards, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

I don't recall seeing that specific shot of , but there is definitely a wide shot of the destruction shown in the trailer. Plus some other interesting bits.

Re: Godzilla (Edwards, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

Just seemed like a big shot but I know how trailer stuff won't make it to the final cut. Maybe test audiences got confused?

Re: Godzilla (Edwards, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

Seeing Godzilla again tomorrow in IMAX 3D. Will be looking for more specific details. Better theater, better sound!

Re: Godzilla (Edwards, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

Is this the specific shot you're talking about? http://cdn.bleedingcool.net/wp-conte....24.png?9098e0

If so I don't think I remember seeing it in the movie, but I'm not 100% sure.

Re: Godzilla (Edwards, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

Yes, that was it.

Re: Godzilla (Edwards, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

Funny. After seeing it in IMAX 3D, I plan on seeing it in regular 2D :)

Re: Godzilla (Edwards, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

How was the 3d? Where I live there's a theater with one screen that has fantastic picture and sound but is only showing the 3d version. Then there are Carmike Theaters that are showing both but the picture and sound arent usually nearly as good. Was planning on seeing the 2D but how distracting is the 3d?

Re: Godzilla (Edwards, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

I actually didn't know they were releasing this in 3D until this week...is this another upconvert or was it shot in 3D? Not going to waste the extra money if it's the former (I'll just wait for the Blu-ray for 3D).

Re: Godzilla (Edwards, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

I think it's a PC. Take note that most PCs suck but not all. Pacific Rim was a great PC.

Re: Godzilla (Edwards, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

It wasn't very distracting to me. There were a few moments where it kinda popped. Otherwise, it felt more natural.

Re: Godzilla (Edwards, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

Not sure. Do the credits show if 3D cameras are used? I usually don't think about looking.

It was shot digitally, but apparently DP Seamus McGarvey hates 3-D (God bless him), and say that he shot the film like it was 2-D film.

Re: Godzilla (Edwards, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

So...mixed reviews that are mostly on the positive side (a Highly Recommended / Skip It / Recommended on this site, JoBlo gave it a 6/10...although he makes the 6 sound less negative by noting that the final 3rd of the film really is a tour de force spectacle monster film), still excited to see the film, but at least now my expectations have been properly set.

I will be dragging my parents to this tomorrow or Saturday, depending on how much time I spend at the Big Wow Comic Show.

Re: Godzilla (Edwards, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

Does it have a different aspect ratio for the Imax release like Pacific Rim did?

PR had a different IMAX ratio?

Re: Godzilla (Edwards, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

I don't know if PR did, but Skyfall definitely did.

Re: Godzilla (Edwards, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

PR did not.

Re: Godzilla (Edwards, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

PR did have a different ratio in Imax. It ran at 1.90:1 instead of 2.40:1. The blu release also opened it up to 1.85:1.

Re: Godzilla (Edwards, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

There's a 3-star review of GODZILLA by Lou Lumenick in today's New York Post, but it doesn't appear in its on-line edition so I can't link to it.

There's a great line at the end of the review that I'll just type in here:

Re: Godzilla (Edwards, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

really? ... the screening I saw this at, on a RPX screen it was full screen 1.85, not 2.40

The Blu is 1.78.
