Viewing Notes
RIP Kazuki Omori
March 3, 1952 — November 12, 2022
When I got back into Godzilla and first viewed this movie, I thought it was not very good. Over the years since then I’ve come around on it and appreciate the wild swings Toho and director Kazuki Omori took during this period of rebirth after the Showa era beginning with Omori’s Biolante film. He had a major hand in serializing the films for the the first time connecting the movies to an overarching story and having a reoccurring character with Miki (Megumi Odaka).
What I like about this one is how great King Ghidorah looks. Wouldn’t mind having an X-Plus of this design if I could afford it (I think it goes in the $500 range bc it’s so large). Also like that Emmy realizes how shitty the futurist plan is and joins the heroes and makes M11 a good robot. Of course I love the final battle in Shinjiku at the Government Metropolitan Building since I’ve been there a couple of times. I thought we watched this one on the bus during G-Tour 2016 but I don’t have it logged. Need to look it up.
Apparently I didn’t log that viewing on the bus while on G-Tour. Not sure why I didn’t but oh well. Also have to say that I’ll never not be annoyed AF at Sony TriStar for just dumping the same transfers from the DVDs onto Blu-ray when they released these movies. Fuck them. Wonder who is gonna step up and pay Toho for the rights to restore these Heisei films? Or maybe no one but Toho fucks over their partners.
