Godzilla (1954) aka Gojira, directed by Ishirô Honda, hybrid 4k remaster, encoded in 10 bit HEVC with AAC sound, including filtered and unfiltered original theatrical dual mono, four commentary tracks, isolated score, isolated music and effects, and subtitles in six languages. IMDb : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047034/ Video encoded in two-pass 12.0 Mbps x265 10bit with the veryslow preset for archive quality image. Audio encoded separately with Apple AAC for the highest-quality AAC sound available. Text subtitles converted to SRT, image subtitles converted to VobSub and repositioned. Note : The film that birthed a thousand rubber monster suits, and completely destroyed the world's reserve of tiny balsa wood houses, it's the original Godzilla! While Japanese kaiju films have been dunked on quite a lot for unconvincing effects and goofy plots, I feel that's ahistorical, because this is actually quite good, kind of understated, holding back on its use of effects, and when they do show up, they're very well done, hiding the most obvious flaws in shadows. I think they hold up very well to Hollywood effects from the same time period, and are also very ambitious. The plot is simple, steadfastly idealistic and pacifist, and with a fair amount of pathos that's best enjoyed taken straight, but it all comes together pretty well. Cast includes Akira Takarada, Momoko Kôchi, Akihiko Hirata, Takashi Shimura, Fuyuki Murakami, Sachio Sakai, and Ren Yamamoto. After ships start mysteriously disappearing at sea near Odo Island off the coast of Japan and fishing catches drop to nothing, reporters arrive to investigate, and hear of a supposed sea monster called "Gojira", which destroys houses and kills villagers during a storm. Petitioning the government leads to a group of scientists arriving and discovering giant radioactive footprints and a dinosaur-like creature. Ships continue being lost as the scientists theorize that hydrogen bomb testing has awoken something ancient, but everything becomes more urgent as the creature attacks Tokyo and seems impervious to conventional weapons. A scientist's top-secret research might hold the key, but he's reticent about his work to be used as a weapon, and hard decisions must be made. A pretty big improvement over the previous Criterion remaster, this 4k is nevertheless a fairly conservative restoration that retains some flicker, scratches, and vignetting, but it has nice, subtle grain, decent contrast, and fine detail for the time period. Out of the two dual mono tracks, I think the unfiltered one sounds quite a bit better, but the filtered one is there if you're allergic to higher frequencies. There's a pletora of commentary tracks, including one in Japanese that doesn't have subtitles, but if you understand Japanese, there you go. Hot tip
