The very large 4K Blu-ray set for Godzilla Minus One Toho

GODZILLA MINUS ONE Gets Enormous 4K Blu-ray Release

Takashi Yamazaki’s Godzilla Minus One was easily one of my favorite movies of 2023. Its heartfelt remix of the original 1954 film acts as a treatise on national shame and banding together in a time of great struggle. It also has some of the best effects we’ve seen in decades, which is probably why it won the Oscar for it! Despite the film scoring big at the U.S. box office, it has taken a surprisingly long time for it to make it to home release. Now, thankfully, the enormous 4K Blu-ray release from Japan is getting an English-friendly release.

Box set for the Japanese physical media release of Godzilla Minus One. Toho

The massive set (fitting of the king of the monsters) is the same set as was released in Japan earlier this year. It includes the movie in 4K UHD and Blu-ray as well as a Blu-ray of Godzilla Minus One Minus Color, the black-and-white cut. The only difference from the earlier release is it includes English-language menus and subtitles on the movies. The disc of extras is entirely in Japanese and will NOT include English subtitles. So that is a bummer. However, given how tough it can be for contemporary Japanese films to get any sort of English release, this is still a big win.

The set is only available via the Godzilla website for $65.00. It will ship in September. Full list of technical specs below.
