Godzilla Minus One quickly earned rave reviews from both fans and critics alike when it released in theaters late last year. The kaiju film follows a group of veterans attempting to prevent their war-ravaged home from being further destroyed by Godzilla–and it earned the Oscar for Best Visual Effects due to its stunning action sequences. The film is already available to buy or rent in color or black-and-white on Prime Video and streaming on Netflix, but fans can now preorder the upcoming physical release. Collectors will definitely want to check out the gorgeous Godzilla Minus One 4K Limited Edition, which is up for preorder at Walmart and Amazon.
$35
The Godzilla Minus One Limited Edition includes 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray versions of the hit film as well as a bonus Blu-ray disc with special features. Of course, it also comes with a striking steelbook case, so you can protect and display the film in your collection. A release date is yet to be announced for the physical release of Godzilla Minus One.
The 4K steelbook edition is currently listed for $55 at Amazon and $35 at Walmart. The huge discrepancy in price certainly sounds odd, but Amazon often has Blu-rays listed for higher prices when preorders first go live. Amazon’s price will almost certainly drop to $35 in the coming days–there’s virtually zero chance it’ll sell for $55 at launch. You can order from Amazon now and you won’t be charged until your preorder ships. Amazon automatically adjusts the price to the lowest offer between the time you order and release.
The steelbook edition looks awesome, but there are other editions. The 4K Blu-ray without a steelbook case is up for preorder at Amazon, and the standard 1080p Blu-ray is also available to reserve.
As mentioned, you can already pick up digital versions of Godzilla Minus One on Prime Video ($15 to buy, $6 to rent). While the standard, color-version is great, the black-and-white special edition is definitely worth a watch. Sadly, the listings for the Blu-rays don’t mention the black-and-white version, so you may still want to check out the black-and-white version even if you preorder the physical release.
If you’re eager to add some Godzilla films to your collection while we wait to learn about a release date for Minus One, there are plenty of other great options on sale right now. The recently released Godzilla/Kong Monsterverse 5-Film 4K Collector’s Edition is worth grabbing if you want to watch the major contemporary releases in the Godzilla and Kong franchises in 4K. This $100 box set comes with Godzilla (2014), Kong: Skull Island, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Godzilla vs. Kong, and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, which released earlier this year. You also get heaps of bonus features like discussions with the directors and behind-the-scenes content from each movie.
