Godzilla vs. Destoroyah
Really enjoyed it this time around. I have an issue with the look of the Heisei films for some reason. Their cinematography and lighting always looks so ugly to me but I can never tell if it's the movies' fault or if they've just never been released properly. I'd love to see a high quality 4K transfer of this film.
Anyway, that being said, this is the first time I've been able to appreciate this movie on a huge screen and the effects looked spectacular. I can't even imagine the number of explosions that they had to film per day on this shoot, lol, it must have been quite an experience.
Great finale, quite emotional, with a fantastic last shot.
I was thinking the entire time that the OST was a brilliantly powerful homage to Ifukube's work but according to imdb...he was the composer on this. Well, he certainly never lost his touch.
Destoroyah itself wasn't great and kinda went out like a chump. I had to rewind to his death since I felt like I had blinked and missed it. No, it just kinda happened super quickly.
So that's now 2 Heisei film (the other being Biollante) that I kinda like.
I guess I'll have to revisit the rest.
Alamo Drafthouse is running this ahead of KotM:
Freakin' adorable.
Awww, that was great.
Yep :(
And I'm not feeling super confident about next year's movie.
Oh well, last time an american Godzilla film bombed we got the Millenium films so there's always a silver lining I guess.
