The Godzilla (1998) 25th Anniversary 4K Ultra HD SteelBook is a must-have for fans of the franchise. The upgrade in visual and audio quality is impressive, making it worth every penny.
The steelbook design features a vintage t-shirt print look, adding a unique touch without overwhelming text. The minimalist approach lets the iconic imagery speak for itself.
While the film itself has mixed reviews, the 4K transfer breathes new life into the special effects. The CGI may show its age, but the enhanced clarity and sound design—especially the deep bass during Godzilla's footfalls—make it a thrilling experience.
Extras include a making-of featurette, music video, and visual effects commentary, though some are recycled from older releases. The Digital Copy option for PS3/PSP users is a neat addition for portable viewing.
Despite criticisms of casting and plot, this edition reminds us why the film holds a special place for many. It's a fun, brain-off popcorn flick with nostalgia value.
