*full disclosure: a Blu-Ray copy of this film was provided by Echo Bridge Entertainment for review. Director: Kazuki Ohmori. Writers: Shinichirô Kobayashi (story), Kazuki Ohmori. Cast: Kunihiko Mitamura, Yoshiko Tanaka and Masanobu Takashima. Not many North American video releases of the Godzilla films are as thoughtful as Criterion's release of the original film, Media Blaster's Destroy All Monsters or Echo Bridge Entertainment's release Godzilla vs. Biollante. The single featurette is what sells this product. It reveals some secrets in how this film marked the Heisei period of this nuclear monster's reign and it shows that not all effects have to be CGI driven. In the late '80's, the method to create special effects involved matte paintings, models and simple tricks of the camera to create the illusion. These heydays are long gone by today's standards. But can anyone imagine what the imagineers of "Walking with Dinosaurs," the arena spectacular could have done if.
