I've been a huge Godzilla fan since I was a kid, and I can't begin to tell you how amazed I am at the longevity that this frequent harbinger of doom/defender of Earth has enjoyed. It's hard to believe that Godzilla has been a global pop-culture icon for seventy years!!!
And though I am fairly content with the increasingly fun and crazy "Monsterverse" movies currently being cranked out by Legendary Films, you have no idea how thrilled I was to see GODZILLA: MINUS ONE on the big screen last year. I mean hell, just seeing that Toho logo come up on the screen was enough to elicit a feeling of pure joy from yours truly!
I loved MINUS ONE enough to warrant a second theatrical viewing on the big screen, and watched in awe as it raked in a shocking amount of money at the global box office, was nominated for, and won, an Academy Award, and broke records on various streaming platforms, including NetFlix! And now, after a very long wait, GODZILLA: MINUS ONE is arriving on all physical media formats this November, which is great news to fans who failed to snag the (now OOP) Limited Edition 4K/Blu-ray set that Godzilla.com's Store offered up earlier this year!
Synopsis: In the waning days of World War II, Shikishima (Ryunosuke Kamiki), a surviving Kamikaze pilot, and a squad of plane engineers stationed on Odo Island, are attacked by a gargantuan monster. Years later, Shikishima teams up with a large group of military veterans to finally take down the (now nuclear-powered) monster known as Godzilla.

So I've got good news and bad news about these upcoming physical media releases Vault Dwellers. First the good news: Both the Blu-ray and 4K editions of GODZILLA: MINUS ONE seem to be identical to their Japanese counterparts (though I still have no idea if the bonus features will contain English subtitles), and as an added bonus, it appears that there is indeed an English audio dub of the film! The bad news is that if you really want to own a copy of GODZILLA: MINUS ONE/MINUS COLOR, you'll need to snag the 3-Disc Limited Edition Steelbook, which as of my posting this seems to be sold out everywhere! (What?! NOOOOOOO!)
The street date for GODZILLA: MINUS ONE is (tentatively) November 19th - the Blu-ray should cost about $25, the 4K should be approximately $30 - $35, and the steelbook should price around $30 - $50! You can order the standard edition Blu-ray from AMAZON or BULL MOOSE, and the standard 2-Disc 4K UHD from AMAZON, BULL MOOSE, or DIABOLIK DVD. As for the coveted 3-Disc Limited Edition Steelbook, it is listed as sold out at Amazon, Wal-Mart, Target, Deep Discount, Movies Unlimited, and Gruv. So unless Toho decides to do another run, your only choice is to overpay one of the many scalpers over at eBay.
