Releasing Tuesday, August 27th, The Curse of Godzilla: King of the Monsters will be available on 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD debut on August 27h.

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the Bluray Combo I reviewed in this Post.  The opinions I share  are our own.

SYNOPSIS

The new story follows the heroic efforts of the crypto-zoological agency Monarch as its members face off against a battery of god-sized monsters, including the mighty Godzilla, who collides with Mothra, Rodan and his ultimate nemesis, the three-headed Ghidorah. When these ancient super-species—thought to be mere myths—rise again, they all vie for supremacy, leaving humanity’s very existence hanging in the balance.

 

 

Growing up one of my favorite things was watching the old Godzilla films.  With the advancement of film technology and special effects, Godzilla King of the Monsters is the perfect film to take full advantage.   Fans of Godzilla are in for a fun treat.  This is a nonstop fun film that is both visually appealing as well as telling an engaging story.    I don’t know which is bigger, the monsters or the special features in this bluray combo.  Check out these monster special features.
