Sea monsters fighting robots = guilty pleasure popcorn flick of the summer.

[JudynTX]

Charlie Hunnam is in it, of course I'm watching this shit!

[Fpoonsie]

Lulz. The Portal chick voice is in it, of COURSE I'm watching that shit!

[redzero]

Stringer Bell, GLaDOS, and mechs--what's not to like?

Great porn title.

I love how you say that as if anyone besides SoA fans know who the fuck that is

[CubanSucks]

[TwAnKiEs]

What the heck is SoA? Charlie was great in Green Street Houligans which is why I'll watch!

[Libri]

Can't wait :)

Will nature point out the folly of man?

Green Street Houligans was :tu :tu

[Wild Cobra]

Looks like a good movie, but so fucking fake. It's bad enough to consider any monster can have the 2 dimensional strength to move a three dimensional mass, but I can get past that. When the ship was swung like a club... I'm sorry... No fucking way.

[The Reckoning]

yeah hollywood is supposed to be believable

Opens this weekend. Early reviews are good. Several critics are saying in a nice way that Del Toro basically owned the shit out of Michael Bay in his own genre.

[ohmwrecker]

Looks cool. Del Toro. Perlman. Hunnam. How could it be bad?

[blkroadrunners]

Idris Elba!

[TDMVPDPOY]

[timtonymanu]

Stringer Bell.
Hellboy.
Charlie Kelly.

Yeah, I'm sold.

[lefty]

Might DL it illegally just to kill time

That doesn't say much, tbh

:lol...true.

From what I've been reading it's everything that it's advertised to be and more. Aesthetically, it's what all those big budget destruction films have tried and failed to be.

[lebomb]

Saw it last night...............very entertaining. The graphics were spot on. The monsters/robots scale was on point. Looked very real.

[Darius McCrary]

Can't ever doubt Del Toro. I'll go check it.

[Spur-Addict]

LOL Godzilla, Power Rangers, Transformers mix. You pretty much know what you're getting here without going, I'll pass. I'm sure it'll be on DVD, or some primetime network within a year.

[CuckingFunt]

Del Toro + that cast = I'd be in the theater right now if I could be.

Dont think my 6yr old would feel the same way about the movie watching it on DVD.

Yeah, but you know it's the forever watered down end of the world scenario with some sort of plot twist. Shit gets old for me at least.

[lebomb]

True, I can understand.....but I knew that going in to watch the movie, and it was still quite entertaining. I think more so because the special effects and sound was so good.

[Spur-Addict]

So in general you appreciate these sorts of movies, that's cool. I think people in general find themselves watching these movies at one point or another. The effects do look good in the trailers, that's for certain. But I would never pay to see it unless someone wanted me to take them. I guess my real issue is with the lack of risk taking on a larger scale consistently from the industry in general, when it comes to larger productions that command a larger audience.

[sook]

loved it, didn't like the CGI but on the budget they did a good job.

[monosylab1k]

Plus this has the easiest porn parody name ever. Passific Rimjob coming soon.

Just got out of the theater. Holy shit. It's big, loud, dumb, and fucking awesome. I don't know how summer popcorn movies are going to keep topping the next with large scale wanton destruction.

I'll agree for the win...my thoughts exactly...saw it at the Imax...holy crap...

[MannyIsGod]

Hong Kong battle was so fucking awesome.

[GoodOdor]

Cliche as fuck, but yeah, it was good fun.

Need a sequel - "Pacific Rim 2: Counter Attack" or something. Basically just give me more mech vs monster fights plz.

[DJ Mbenga]

every fucking chilche they did. it was 90% cgi battles the rest dialogue. interesting how they made sure that chick moko or cant remember the name was an alright woman not a bombshell. in the end he didnt even want to hit it, just friend zoned her.

[Carnage&Mayhem]

There were moments in the theater when I just wanted to stand up and cheer out of the sheer awesome of the fights.
Also I thought the three armed Crimson Dynamo thing whatever name was gonna have a better run. It got totes fucked

[TeyshaBlue]

Ok, settled. I'm gonna go see it.

[Max Taber]

saw it last night. two hours is too long for that movie. they should have kept all the fights of course, but cut out alot of that piss poor acting and dialogue bullshit. an hour and a half would have been better. it just dragged waiting for the next fight each time.

[Carnage&Mayhem]

Pacific Rim 2: The Mid-Atlantic Ridge

[Halberto]

I thought it was going to be stupid, but I really liked it. It wasn't good but it was really entertaining.

[benefactor]

Hong Kong battle was so fucking awesome.
Yes...yes it was.

Those who are indecisive about going, you should go. Bigger screen the better.

[Venti Quattro]

It was good for the same reasons why FF6 was good.

[UZER]

Pacific Rim 2: The Mid-Atlantic Ridge

Pacific Rim 2....this time its on land...in Midwest America *previews voice*

[MannyIsGod]

Definitely needs to be seen in the theater. Sound was AWESOME. You won't get that at home no matter how awesome your home theater is. Oblivion is still my favorite audio/visual movie this summer but the sound on this one was awesome.

[Calispursfan11]

Awesome fucking movie. You got the giant robots (piloted by mind melding pilots) pummeling giant monsters wading into the water, under the sea, in air and on land. You got the cast selling the geeky lingo and frame of reference such as "it's the first category 5 Kaiju!" And you got RON PERLMAN! Much better than the Transformers franchise in almost every way imho. Made me forget my worries for 2 1/2 hours or however long it was. And the movie was long but it didn't feel that long because pretty much every frame is awesome. Highly recommended. Might go see it again before it leaves theaters.

[Carnage&Mayhem]

Pacific Rim 2: Kaiju of the Corn (Cornju)

[Venti Quattro]

What I hated about Pac Rim was the obviously fake accent of the actors.

[TDMVPDPOY]

what was the production budget for this movie, script dialogue was fkn shit but they got straight to the point

didnt like the character buildup though

good mecha movie, ima get this on BR when it comes out on dvd, fkn awesome sound affects and shit, just the sheer fact it touch on some subjects of mecha anime/manga in relation to the suits and hardware used...

fights were good but damn all the fights were in the dark and shit :(:(

part 2 needs to incorporate that technology the scientists was using to get into the brains of the monsters, whether telepathy or someshit to get a step ahead of the game....human evolution or peak human beings better response time in them mechas is needed, hence i would prefer to see 1 person per mecha instead of having 2 pilots to control one...

i felt that during the bridge scene they couldve expend Mako self sacrifice....where the monsters swim around and release whatever sperm to fertilized her life fishes and leads to part 2 where monsters come back smarter or someshit...


ps. what i didnt get was the newer units were inferior to the original one with the nuke engine, why did they went away from a nuke engine?

lol I think I recall Idris Elba stating that the newer machines were slapped together without much thought for a potential EMP or someshit tbh. So that probably was the attempt to explain that.

The Jaegers are back.

Not near the cast of the last one and I fear it will look like the low budget version of the first one, but I'll probably go see it anyway. Del Toro is still involved so there's that.

[DPG21920]

No Charlie Hunnam? WTF

[benefactor]

Starting to feel a little Transformersish(and ugh John Boyega), but fuck it...sign me up for more Kaiju and more Jaegers.

Yeah, but if there's Charlie Kelly in it, it's still a winner.
