Anyways, I unfortunatly havent the time till atleast sometime early next week, but you can damn well bet Ill be in the movie theater the minute it fucking opens.
I seriously doubt there will be a sequel, not spoiling, just saying. The flick is really fun and well shot, no shaky cam was great because you got to clearly see everything.mbarker said:
Also, the people who were screaming everywhere that this is an EVA rip off can stop now, this is definitely not.
I wish Bob would stop felating DelToro for his "most ORIGINALZ MOVIEZ EVAR".....
'cause, you know... .this is about as original as a dog turd. It may be a good movie (haven't been to see it yet) but given Bob's geek culture background, you think he'd have realized that the plot, concept, hell, everything about the entire movie is stolen directly from anime. All of it. Every last bit.
It isn't original. Not remotely. Please stop it.

"Oh, are you feeling bad? There's a monster! Now punch it in the face!"
I'd say "If only somebody said that to Shinji in Evangellion," except that I've watched the show enough to know that somebody actually did say that to him and it didn't work.
Still probably not going to see this one right away, though.

OT: I'll probably see it over the weekend, but I'm really hoping it doesn't bore the hell out of me like World War Z did.
First point: So, PR is good? Unsurprising, but definitely appreciated. I'll be seeing this tomorrow for sure.
Second point: Wait, there's a new Chucky movie?! Okay, I'm all over that.

They're already writing it, but supposedly del Toro is hands off in regards the content and will probably only be involved as a director or producer.chozo_hybrid said:

Oh, and did the two scientists remind you of anyone?
And a film with so much COLOUR! That was wonderful to see!

poor but damn I was tettering on the brink and you sold it to me Bob.
Saw this in an advance screening on Wednesday in Imax 3D and it was breathtaking to watch. Besides having amazing visuals and action scenes, unlike so many summer blockbuster movies, I actually cared about the characters.
Edit: It was also hilarious to see Charlie Day as a scientist. He's pretty much the exact same person as he is in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia only much smarter and he's not always craving cheese.

Could be because Pacific Rim is actively trying. It wasn't condescending or pretentious, it seemed to be more interested in pleasing the audience and having fun at the expense of itself than it was trying to be a "genre defining masterpiece". All the actors seemed to be aware of the cheese, however they ran towards it and embraced it as an integral part of the plot that the plot would be less without rather than trying to change the tone mid-film for the sake of... art? That and they all looked like they were having fun.shintakie10 said:
It was just a fun film to watch, the Independence Day comparison is apt.
As an aside I remember earlier someone mentioned something about...
... the idea that conventional weapons were somehow handwaved out of the plot. Towards the end of the film a Kaiju took a megaton nuke to the face and swam it off, even though this was the eponymous "boss" of the film it did a lot to illustrate the important "Newton>Teller" point that the film made
Well then, looks like I'm eating my words for dinner tonight XDPuckFuppet said:
I guess it could be done, but they have a lot to live up to now.
i liked this movie cause it actually had sci-fi in it while being a great action movie too
i did feel a major disconnect between the cgi and the live action though, near the start of the movie there is a scene where one of the robots is damaged and crashes down on the beach the humans there dont run away screaming or react in any way
