What is the quality of Godzilla 84 on blu ray. Some of the TOHO blu rays are in abominable quality. Unlike the Gojira release by Criterion which was superior than both the original TOHO blu and the US blu ray original.

Which was a black and white movie and not widescreen and in mono sound. The 1984 color remake was of course in color and stereo sound and anamorphic widescreen.

the 1984 version is not excessively grainy the color film stock is relatively clean in the prints i have seen.

Of course the scenes where there are several generations away from the original because of the optical effects will always be slightly off with the live footage which is usually the case with pre cgi films. Especially when the live action footage is taken from the o-neg.

Still this was when movies were still films and did look like films and not video. An era of movies i much prefer to the current cgi crop.
