Will definitely catch it, though the whole thing looks a little silly.

I wanted to like it... but my head just about exploded when I saw it.

1st you have giant creatures invade and try to over take earth... Ok, basic premise check


then we send airforce that fly planes low enough to get hit by monsters...um WTF

Then we make giant mechs... that have all the flaws a human body does, instead of making it powerful and stable we base it on human... really? wtf2

then to control these you need two working togather. That sounds awsome, like robot combat leauge...

to do so they need to move in tandum... WTF3!!!


WHY, oh why did I waste the three mins of my lif...

Thanks for the link - didn't know there was a new trailer. This one has been a must see for me since I saw the teaser trailer.

But big robots ... and giant monsters ...

I mean, if an alien intelligence which can dismantle the moon and cross interstellar distances needs to mine our oceans for energy, how much worse is this, really?

It might be a generational thing. If you grew up watching Godzilla, Gamera, Ultraman, The Space Giants, and Johnny Sokko you wouldn't be asking any of those questions. You'd be preordering tickets and counting the hours until Pacific Rim opens.

I just turned 44. The trailer brings me back to being 8, watching Monster Week on the 4:30 Movie on Channel 7, ABC out of New York City. Broadcast. Not cable.

In a lot of ways I think that sums it up. On another board I frequent someone said "Ah, this is what it feels like to be 10. I'd forgotten"

I just pray that it is as amazing as it looks in the trailers. What was started by Transformers could be cemented by Pacific Rim: the rebirth of giant robots in the general Western conscience.

I am not certain I am quoting this properly, but the rule of awesome is in a good flick you forgive flaws, while in a bad one flaws become unforgivable. This is a live-action mecha-battling-monsters flick. A mecha hits a monster in the face with a cargo ship, thus it is awesome, thus we forgive its flaws.
