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.

GoldenJCJ

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.

paaron46

^ Yes this is the answer to that question.

TomOpus

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

Orbi-Wan Techno

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.

TomOpus

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?

Orbi-Wan Techno

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

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.

TomOpus

Yes, that was it.

TomOpus

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

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?

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).

Solid Snake

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

TomOpus

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

TomOpus

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.

Inhumans99

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.

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

hanshotfirst1138

PR had a different IMAX ratio?

Supermallet

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

islandclaws

PR did not.

cartman

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.

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:

Giles

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

hanshotfirst1138

The Blu is 1.78.
