Who's pumped for Pacific Rim?

My family starts our beach vacation this weekend. First thing we're going to do when we get there is go to the movie theater to watch us some Giant Robot vs Monster Fisticuffs (TM).

Nononononono!

What you should do is dress the kiddies up as monsters and robots and have them wrestle on the beach!









(Give 'em plenty of fluids, though.)

What do you think we're doing for the rest of the week?

Here's a B Roll for the movie:

I thought the cockpits were mostly CG, but they actually built the whole chambers and they move around like a proper airplane flight sim.

Well, saw it and it pretty much delivered what it said on the box- Mecha vs Kaiju. I thought it was quite fun, though some of the action was a little hard to follow (who's fighting who?) I thought the Kaiju could be a little more distinctive in terms of colour and markings. [sblock]A little too much on father-child relationship issues, though, and the final battle was rather meh compared to the battle in Hong Kong.[/sblock]

Ron Perlman and Idris Elba appeared to be seeing who could steal the show from the Mecha/Kaiju, but otherwise thought this is by far the most enjoyable movie of the summer so far.

It was pretty good, but I was expecting better. The monster and mecha design was not that great. I would have liked to see more battles with the other mecha and monsters to really see what those other mecha can do. I think the first five or ten minutes of the movie where the did a summary would have been a cool movie in and of itself.

I enjoyed it, but I'm a little shaky on why a monster that was specified to be a

tailor-made clone would be pregnant.

And for those yet to see it, there is a bonus scene at the end of the credits.

Saw the movie and thought it was great. I didn't expect the story and characters to interest me as much as it did (given that I expected it to be mainly a gorgeous looking slamfest) But it certainly could be better. I'd give it a B+/A-.

Why do people keep saying how excited they were about Jax being in the movie? Who was Jax? Is that a Mortal Kombat reference to something?

We will never know and I asked that myself.

I think the answer is that this was the second wave, the ones to hunt and wipe out humans.
