Shin Godzilla is scheduled to be released on DVD and Blu-ray in Japan on March 22, 2017.
It manages to do so, while having a fun monster movie play out, but that doesn’t make the issues being targeted lest prescient.
While America’s Godzilla films have more or less been mainly about having fun with the character on U.S. soil, the original Godzilla was rooted in the Nuclear Age.
With the last Japanese-produced Godzilla film, Godzilla: Final Wars having come out back in 2004, it’s quite amazing to see this series not only get a stellar revival, but pull off getting multiple Japanese Academy Award nominations.
