Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) - Part 1

[Micromind]

That 5 minute extended sneak peek is US & Canada only at this point. No details if it will be extended out further yet.
I don't need to see it & will probably start avoiding TV spots soon - I've already seen enough.

Thanks for making it clear, in anycase, I don't want to be spoiled, so it's OK for me.

Going to see Shazam in IMAX in a couple of hours....will report back

Just saw the extended look before Shazam! on IMAX. Despite a couple moments of iffy CGI on KG, it was glorious.

Come on, don’t just leave it like that. Spoiler tag it and describe it for those of us who are not going to see Shazam.

Ok, I should start by saying I missed the first minute or so because the concessions line took forever, so I kinda figured someone would describe the whole thing by now as I was lacking context, but alas, here's what I saw:

Spoiler

It seemed to be POSSIBLY the scene where our heroes are meeting King Ghidorah for the first time. KG's coming up from below, the military are on the surface, the ground (ice? it's snowy.) is crumbling. Kyle Chandler's down there with them (on a boat? There's water. Like I said, seeing the beginning for context for locations would've been helpful), while Millie Bobbie Brown and Vera are watching from somewhere up above. In a helicopter, I think. Anyway, we get first the spiked tail, then extreme close-ups of KG's faces and when the crowd witnessing this begins to realize this thing has 3 heads, they start really freaking out. The military starts firing, and then KG's necks start glowing and he summons the lightning (breathing it), blasting the military folks on the ground to smithereens. I can't describe how awesome these lightning shots are, but they look great. The close-ups of KG's faces are the ones I was talking about that look kinda iffy. Anyway, KG's wreaking havoc, and it's clear that Millie Bobbie Brown believes she's witnessing Kyle Chandler's death, as she's getting pretty hysterical, but he's surviving (so far) down there. Then, we see something approaching from below, and Godzilla rises from the water (ice?), epic hero shot, and faces down KG, in a stunning wide shot. And then it cuts to essentially a new trailer with a ton of quick shots of the other monsters (including a shot I hadn't seen of a fighter pilot ejecting from his/her jet only to get caught in the jaws of Rodan), dialogue about how KG has formed a pack and if they can take him out, the others will follow, and there's a great shot of Godzilla breathing fire at KG and KG blasting (no, breathing) lightning at Godzilla simultaneously.

I haven't kept up with ALL the footage released from this film so I have no idea how much of that was new, but yeah, that's just about all I remember. It really made me feel like King Ghidorah's gonna steal this movie.

Wow!! Yeah, I have to see this in IMAX multiple screenings !! The battle scenes are going to be epic!!

 

[terry78]

We didn't get it with our imax showing. Shady ass Navy Pier.

 

[OtherwiseKnownAs]

Bootleg footage of the trailer is on Reddit

My IMAX screening screwed me over too....

But saw it on reddit and i am in love

 

[HKpowerup]

Saw a low quality upload on Youtube. I only hope the action is balanced by some good story and characters.

Looks like Godzilla vs. Kong might be set in a post-apocalyptic world.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

The part with

Spoiler

Ghidora's pack

is new.

Indeed. Like I said, there had to be more to KG in the film's plot than just he's romping and stomping.

 

[JtheDreamer]

Saw a good copy on reddit. Definitely a CGI spectacle.

 

[The Big G]

I just want to gush about this 5 min teaser

Spoiler

DAT RODAN MOTHRA BRAWL!

 

[Marvolo]

Finally found it. Bastards were pulling uploads down as fast as they were going up. Idk why they even bother. They cant beat the internet and the fandom.

Looks epic! But I despise

Spoiler

Farmiga's character. Not sure how well I'm gonna tolerate that level of stupid for 2+ hours. "Saving the world" my ass! I hope she gets stepped on by Godzilla early in the film.

 

[HammerDown]

Saw the footage and got chills from it.
Epic stuff and insane scale to everything. The monsters looks amazing, the music is great, the battles seem otherworldly... It's all a massive spectacle.

 

[StarLord]

Praise thee GODzilla. That footage is incredible.

 

[jmc]

Yeah..... this looks ace.

 

[CB Fan]

I was always going to see Shazam but now I guess I gotta see it in IMAX instead of Dolby. They better have this attached.

 

[Broseph44]

That footage gave me legit goosebumps. The hairs on my arms are standing up wow. This movie seems like it’s really going to be something special.

 

[The Big G]

I found a decently high rez one. trying to make gifs from it

Any sign of the mammoth in the leaked footage?

 

[Schlosser85]

No.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

No.

Ok thanks.
