Pacific Rim Official Wondercon Trailer (2013) - Guillermo del Toro Movie HD

So Yea or Nay?

It's giant robots and monsters, I dunno if I need to say much more.

probably will be the go-to summer action flick. guillermo del toro doing robots and monsters ? i dunno. i'm sure it will be better than any of the transformers films at least

I have a hard time imagining this will be good but i liked the hellboy movies. Hopefully there is a lot more to this movie than what they show in the trailer.

Wow this looks complete original and not at all like anything else that came out in the last 10 years.

Oh wait just kidding. All big budget CGI monster/alien/robot/explosion movies look the same now.

Pacific Rim - Training Day with Jesse Cox, Dodger, Huskystarcraft, Totalbiscuit, and the GameGrumps

not actually part of the main film but quite funny. Del Torro was there when they presented the script and he apparently loved it.

Holy shit! I watched the original/first one at a friends place yesterday and we were constantly ranting about how bad it was. Good times...
I have no idea why anyone would want to make a remake of that film...

Pacific Rim isn't a remake of anything (??)

My pal told me that he confused it for the other one and figured it was an earlier version, as the 'special effects' were pretty fucking 70's

a film that promises kaiju and robots beating each other to death is way past cool and ive been super hyped for a while now

i just hope there isn't an overly involved plot. i guess ill find out soon enough.

RichChap · July 14, 2013 01:04 AM

the concept for this movie seems so dumb. i can't imagine it would be good but apparently its not terrible?

rtil · July 14, 2013 01:46 AM

i think that it is getting decent reviews because it delivers on its simple premise without trying to take itself too seriously, which too many movies with dumb plots attempt to do these days.

This movie is legitimately good

The visual effects, as expected, are amazing

The characters are a little flat, but the storytelling in this movie is quite good. They do a really good job at capturing how powerful the Kaiju are and they do a really good job with showing what it takes for people to take them down. And while the movie is silly in some regards, the action and violence in it felt very believable and had a lot of impact.

But seriously, I've seen this twice now and I enjoyed it very much both times!

i feel like everyone who has seen it is now a walking viral ad for the movie

Stu4U · July 14, 2013 07:08 AM

it has it's cheesy moments, but it is indeed action packed. if you liked the avengers, pacific rim is the movie for you too.

redmongoose · July 14, 2013 09:22 AM

It was like that before the movie came out, actually. I've never seen so many people be hyped for an original movie (i.e. not a sequel or franchise).

i would've thought people had had enough of big dumb giant robot summer flicks after all the stupid tranformers movies even though everyone saw 'em anyway

redmongoose · July 14, 2013 11:54 PM

I've never been a big fan of transformers, personally, but mech suits are a different story

redmongoose · July 14, 2013 11:55 PM

not to mention those kaijus holy shit

Pacific Rim and Transformers have not a single thing in common aside from both being mechanical. Pacific Rim is like a Power Rangers/Kaiju movie (like Godzilla vs. x). Transformers is basically a shit movie banking on a good franchise; the only thing that made Transformers popular is big CGI and nostalgia. So basically it's just another Michael Bay movie.
