And here in this double-feature disc are two of the craziest from the early '90s. Godzilla vs. King Ghidora involves some western folks in a flying saucer from the future who come back to warn Japan of its imminent demise by Godzilla. But their real aim is to aid in that destruction, thus keeping Japan from becoming an economic powerhouse. Along the way, some cute little creatures they've brought with them are transformed into King Ghidora, the not-so-cute nemesis of Godzilla, and the two inevitably battle it out as unwitting champions of their times. The special effects are tops, the action is silly and pulpish, and the plot is lifted partially from Godzilla vs. Monster Zero (1968). If you don't watch this film with a silly grin on your face, you just aren't a Godzilla fan. Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle for Earth is a variation on one of the best of the old Godzilla films, Godzilla vs. The Thing (1964). When a meteorite hits the Earth, Godzilla is awakened, along with Mothra and his evil twin Battra, the Black Mothra! Mothra must save the Earth from these scourges, with the help of its minions, the Cosmos, those twin miniature girls who sing the eerily beautiful Mothra theme from the earlier film. And the special effects are even more impressive and hallucinatory than before, if that's possible. The pleasure of seeing these rarities on DVD is only slightly hampered by their truncated aspect ratios; yes, Mothra's widescreen wings have been clipped down to paltry pan and scan, and thus denuded of its native Tohoscope. --Jim Gay Average Rating:
 Rating:  - One of the bestI was young when I first saw Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle for Earth, and to this day I still love it. This movie is basically a remake of the 1964 Godzilla vs Mothra, with a dramatically different plot. In this version, a divorced couple and a representitive from the sinister Marotomo company go to Infant Island to investigate a gigantic egg, which hatches into Mothra. In this film, you've got Mothra, who wants to save the earth and everyone in it. Then there's the new monster Battra, Mothra's ... Read More Rating: - The Best Godzilla 90's MovieI've never seen Godzilla vs. Mothra,so thats why i'm i'm buying this DVD.But I have seen Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah.Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah is the very first film i've seen and its a pretty good movie.i haven't quite seen the whole thing,but i think the best part of the movie is when Mecha King Ghidorah appeared;and he lands in front of Godzilla and theres a lot of smoke in the background behind King Ghidorah which is a remarkable scene in the movie.I'm pretty sure people may think so to. Rating: - 4 monsters for the price of 1The movies are both a solid B but when you put them together on one DVD is a great buy. The scenes with the "android" guy are hilariously bad. Rating: - Excellent serviceIt was a great experience shopping at Amazon.com, the transaction was very fast and easy, and receiving the product was great, excellent quality, they delivered very fast and everything over all was great, I am definitly going to shop more often at Amazon.com, this is the second time I do it and its been great, I encourage people to shop here as it is very fast, easy and safe. Have a great day. Rating: - Double Features: More bang for your buck!I buy these Godzilla DVD's for my eldest kiddo and we love it when we find a double feature dvd. As you know, you get two movies for the price of one! But also, the dvd has an easy to navigate menu, option to hear the original dialog or a english dubbed version. This dvd was worth the price! |
