Godzilla 2000 (1999) UK Region 2 compatible ALL REGION DVD a.k.a. Gojira ni-sen mireniamu / Godzilla Millenium

Godzilla 2000 is the first film in the Millennium Series & came out a year or so after TriStar & Emmerich's 1998 Godzilla film. In Godzilla 2000, Toho seem to be showing the makers of the 1998 movie what the true Godzilla should look like. Indeed, Godzilla looks great in this - it is the classic Godzilla look but the spines are larger, the head more reptilian, the teeth more fearsome, & he has a green tint rather than the charcoal grey of previous films.The plot itself is pretty derivative - an alien life form wanting to take over the world, resulting in a final dust-up with the big G. The story itself proceeds logically from Godzilla's first appearance, through the introduction of the mysterious alien to the final satisfying showdown. The characters, themselves, are reasonably fleshed out in order to move the story along & are quite engaging in their own right - I'm not one for long lengthy character development in this type of movie.The special effects are somewhat hit & miss - some of the effects are great while others evoke the 60s blue-screen technique. Overall, however, the film is great fun to watch. This particular print is presented in a 1.85 : 1 aspect ratio. Whilst this may not be to everyone's liking, it does provide for some great close-ups of Godzilla, who is shot from a number of interesting angles. Visually, this is a great film & well worth the effort.There has been a lot of comment about the poor subtitles in this version. In spite of the many goofs, the subtitles are actually still good enough for one to be able to follow the proceedings fairly easily - in fairness, the simple plot also helps in this respect. In fact, the poor subtitles aren't quite bad enough for me to downgrade this package.All in all, I found this to be an extremely enjoyable Godzilla entry & a great comeback for the big guy.

I must admit I was apprehensive about buying this. Glad to say I was proved wrong. This is a great DVD! Their are no English dubs but don't let that put you off as their are English subtitles. It's nice to have a rare Godzilla as a region 2 DVD.

I bought this dvd for my grandson because he asked me for it. I haven,t watched it myself but he really enjoyed it, but anything with Godzilla in is a yes yes just now.

The subtitles for this film are okay: clearly not written by someone with English fluency and/or Japanese, but intelligible. The biggest issue I have with this DVD is the image quality isn’t great and contrary to what’s on the box this is absolutely NOT presented in 1.85:1 aspect, but 4:3. Unfortunately that means if you want to have the best video presentation the dubbed Sony release is still the best bet for English speakers. Here’s hoping someday we get a quality subbed release from Madman or a similar independent publisher who caters to Godzilla fans.

My son loves this movie

A great film now in perfect picture and sound highly recommended for fans of Godzilla

If you want bad acting bad dubbing ,bad Special affects and a bad story this is the film.made just like the early Godzilla films this is brilliant

For a good moment I thought I got scammed when the box was in korean. But no, this is real and has english subs. Wonderful.
