Pacific Rim
So, anyone else incredibly jazzed about this movie? With the new trailer (I swear I'll get a link up tonight... maybe, but it's on Youtube's front page last night) I have moved from skeptical to excited. Guillermo del Toro is directing and this is the kind of thing that's right in his wheel house. July can't get here fast enough.

Re: Pacific Rim
Disaster movie?
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Re: Pacific Rim
Giant monsters coming up out of the ocean to smash our cities. To fight them we build building sized mecha to fist fight them.
Re: Pacific Rim
I just wanna see the spectrum of monsters in the movie. Apparently sent by aliens to kill all the humans so that the aliens can move in... NICE!
Ugh... do not thump the Book of G'Quan...

Re: Pacific Rim
The trailer shows off one Ghidorah look alike, one headed, and most of the monsters look reminiscent of those type of beasties with a more detailed and updated look. There was one with multiple legs and so on. This is Guillermo's love letter to kaiju movies. Given his involvement I expect them to be pretty impressive.
Re: Pacific Rim
Is this the one that has GLADOS for the computer? If so, yeah I'm seeing it.

Re: Pacific Rim
Yep, it's GLaDOS, Guillermo asked Valve if he could use her and they said yes. Same voice actress, some post processing.

Typical, You wait for ages for a film you actually want to see in the cinema, and then 5 come along at once.

Re: Pacific Rim
Yeah, started with Jurassic Park, then Iron Man, Star Trek, now Pacific Rim.
Re: Pacific Rim
Well no need to build giant robots. Go ask Japan to borrow Godzilla. Problem solved.

Just, but they would build giant mechs anyway.McAvoy wrote:Well no need to build giant robots. Go ask Japan to borrow Godzilla. Problem solved.

Re: Pacific Rim
They posted some of the "stats" of the various giant mechs on their Facebook page and based off their own official posts Australia kicks everyone's ass. The thing is fast, armored, and armed and has killed 11 kaiju to everyone else's combined 15. Japan, father of both giant mecha and giant monsters? Weakest mech and only 2 kills.
