This version of Godzilla from 2014 was directed by Gareth Edwards and starred Aaron Taylor Johnson, Elizabeth Olson, Bryan Cranston, and Ken Watanabe. I cannot say I am an aficionado of all the Godzilla films that have existed throughout history. What I liked about this version is that when it boiled down to it, the film was really about a battle of monsters, with humans being largely irrelevant to the monsters and just caught in the middle. The film does a great job doing a slow reveal of Godzilla and sets up the modern-day events with tie-ins to events in the 1950s and the 1990s, but once everything is revealed, it makes for a very fun action movie.
The A/V quality of the blu-ray is very good, especially if you have a big-screen TV or projector and even a low-end soundbar. The more extensive setup you have, the better the movie looks and sounds. As for extras, there are several featurettes ranging from about 5 minutes to 20 or so minutes. Some are kind of add-ons to the movie, and others are behind-the-scenes and making-of material. There is definitely quite a bit there for those who like to go through the bonus content. Overall, this is a fun summer action movie with a good story and very good acting. It is definitely worth checking out.
