9 Years Later, One Of The Best Godzilla Movies Ever Just Got A Huge Upgrade
"That moniker rightfully belongs to the one and only Godzilla, who has been a staple of the silver screen for more than 70 years. In all of those many decades, the King has appeared in dozens of feature films. Few - if any - are as harrowing as 2016's Shin Godzilla, which is going to be even more harrowing thanks to a new 4K Ultra HD upgrade."
"Earlier this year, GKIDS acquired the North American rights to the film from directors Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi. Their first order of business? Re-release the modern kaiju classic on 4K. This is long overdue and a most welcome upgrade for longtime fans. It's also an outstanding excuse for more casual fans to catch up with what is unquestionably one of the greatest Godzilla movies ever made, right up there with the original 1954 cinematic classic that started it all."
"Originally released in 2016, Shin Godzilla was met with widespread acclaim. It came at an odd time, a couple of years after the MonsterVerse launched with director Gareth Edwards' Godzilla in 2014 but before that universe truly started taking shape. It was also the first Japanese entry in the series since 2004's Final Wars. Ignoring all other existing continuity, this particular film offered up arguably the most horrific, deadly version of the classic monster to date."
