This has just leaked on YouTube watch it while you can (I already got it saved). Obviously major spoilers and keep in the mind the CGI apparently isn't finished yet as this footage and music were made specifically for this event and will be different in the final film.

But that the footage he wanted to screen would have been prohibitively expensive because the temp music they use as a placeholder during production would have meant the studio would have to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to those original composers. His work around? He rushed composer Alexandre Desplat ("Zero Dark Thirty," "The Grand Budapest Hotel") to finish the music for this sequence so that he could show it to us, unmolested (and in a reasonable price range).

Vertical filming, bleh. CG looks REALLY rough. Still, amazing footage.

 

[Blablurn]

To watch or not to watch.


AH FUCK IT.

Gonna watch that.

That money shot at the end -- holy shit!

Okay, that was really cool. I always love hearing audience reactions to early footage. The crowd clapping as Godzilla enters at the end there was great.

 

[Soma]

not gonna watch not gonna watch not gonna watch not gonna watch

...

fuck it i'm weak

 

[nick nacc]

hmm, I am skeptical of the scoring honestly. The trailers evoked a superior sense of seriousness and dread. The music was undermining it for me.

Also not a fan of Godzillas leg design. Too stumpy

 

[Oersted]

He seems relatively short when fully revealed.

 

[Malmorian]

....and I'm sold.

 

[fallengorn]

That was great.

Some random thoughts. keep them in spoiler brackets before someone starts crying about it

Spoiler

- i heard that godzilla was the origin of that tsunami but since i had his slow movement from the old movies in mind i couldnt understand how that would be. seeing him swim makes it reasonable thought. no wonder why there is a fucking tsunami coming
- tsunami looked scary. damn
- the scene where the lights go on again and you can see the muto was badass. i was like "what the heck".
- and godzillas entrance was just boss. fuck. loved hearng the people cheer.
- the whole chain reaction that leads to godzillas arrival is brilliant
- godzilla looks fucking evil. love it

may cannot come soon enough

I don't necessarily think you can have a true sense of "dread" when two monsters are beating the shit out of each other. There will certainly be moments in the movie where it looks as if humanity is fucked that I'm sure the score will be appropriate. But in that scene? That's simply to see some good action.

 

[Maximus.]

Holy shit that was fucking awesome! So hyped.

The music during the tsunami obviously. The monster intro was at the very end

 

[Delta Assault]

I loved the sense of suspense throughout that scene.

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

The ending sure got me rooting for Godzilla. Wow.

 

[Soma]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my gooooooooooooodddddddddd

 

[IncandescentPrecept]

Looks like typical summer blockbuster movie. The trope with the tidal wave and people and members of the main cast running away needs to stop already.

 

[Delio]

I was clutching my seat just watching this SCENE. I'm so ready for this.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

If Cloverfield wasn't already completely forgotten, this is going to wipe it out of everyone's memory like they visited Lacuna Inc.

 

[Skab]

oh god i want to watch but i dont want to spoil what do i dooooooo

Spoiler

I don't think any of the main cast was there.

 

[Stahsky]

So I guess I might as well ask, as I have never really bothered with Godzilla stuff before.

Is he like.. a good guy or a bad guy? Or just like, a force of nature that does as he pleases?

 

[rikichi]

After that last scene, I'll be watching this day 1!

 

[J10]

I agree. They should run toward the destruction and the monsters. Godzilla should have powers that allow him to move through the ocean without displacing the water - he should be a giant ghost basically.

 

[antonz]

So I guess I might as well ask, as I have never really bothered with Godzilla stuff before.

Mostly a force of Nature. Later movies kind of turned him into a good guy styled force of nature but this movie is returning to its origins where he is basically a force of nature that has some shit to settle with everybody

 

[Kallor]

Eh. Didn't like the taste of the first half of that video but the ending got my juices going again. Praying this doesn't turn out shit.

Oh and

Spoiler

Monster #1 looks pretty sweet in motion

 

[Stahsky]

So original Godzilla just fucked with everyone? I'm okay with this

 

[WordAssassin]

Jesus CHRIST that was hype as FUCCKKKKK OH MY GODDDDD

I laugh at the dumb idiots in the last thread who swore up and down that Godzilla was going to just be elusive and off-camera until the last scenes of the movie. L-O-L.

Spoiler

GOOD LORD when the lights of the tram came back on and they started moving and then they come on under the GIANT MONSTER THEY'RE MOVING RIGHT TOWARDS I ALMOST SHIT MYSELF

 

[Prince of Space]

Godzilla don't skip leg day.

 

[BLACKLAC]

That was sick day 1

 

[ASTROID2]

That was actually pretty cool.

 

[triplestation]

Cg in the trailer looked like ass but this is looking fucking wicked when its all in context

Holy shit IMO

 

[tiny raptor]

LOL @ the squad of soldiers shooting Godzilla with small arms. At worst, you tick him off, and he smushes you. At best, he ignores you (which is what he did).

CG looks REALLY rough.

...

For one, how can you tell, given it's shittiest CAM quality?

For another, the CG has looked freaking great in all the trailers, imo.

 

[b&jy77VjiKn$#F]

Awesome!!!

 

[JdFoX187]

So original Godzilla just fucked with everyone? I'm okay with this

Original Godzilla was a walking metaphor for nuclear destruction. He showed up in Japan, laid waste to everything and then went back into the ocean. There was no rhyme or reason to it. He just was. Later on, he became a "hero" to the people of Earth, defending against other monsters. The series was later rebooted and he returned to his roots as a creature that did whatever the hell he wanted to do. That's what this one appears to be. He'll fight the MUTOs because they're a danger to him. But he'll destroy whatever is in his way.

...

For one, how can you tell, given it's shittiest CAM quality?

No, the CG has looked like shit in all of the trailers. It looks especially bad in the footage where you see his fins sticking out of the water under the helicopter flood light.

 

[Data West]

Is it just me or does EVERYTHING from this movie 'leak?' I can't remember the last time they revealed something official-like.

 

[TasTokyo]

So I guess I might as well ask, as I have never really bothered with Godzilla stuff before.

Is he like.. a good guy or a bad guy? Or just like, a force of nature that does as he pleases?

I would say at some point he has been all of those. There was a pretty sustained period where he was a good guy though. Originally he was definitely a force of nature who because of this was evil. This movie looks to maybe be going with force of nature who just destroys stuff and sometimes that makes him good and sometimes bad.

 

[Dead]

Just watched the last 30 seconds

wowowow

i don't know if it was an effect of the shitty recording quality but the waves and some other stuff looked very... scifi channel. i'm sure it will be tidied up on release (assuming this is the case).

 

[unknownstranger]

Anyone else annoyed that

Spoiler

they seem to be casually jogging away from the tidal wave instead of sprinting for their damn lives

?

Spoiler

One of the main cast members, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, was the guy in the train with the kid.

 

[duckroll]

- 360p Youtube quality
- Bootleg cam
- Portrait video with the footage taking up 1/4 of the frame
- Unfinished CG
- Spoiler reveal of a major scene in the film

This video is the king of all monsters in terms of bad bootleg factors! That said, the movie looks really awesome lol.

Ho. Lee. Fuck.

Yes, but I was talking about people running from the wave.
