I just saw Pacific Rim!

[AsahinaKimi]

Awesome film... wow.

[ZombieHorde]

1. I tried to set a double date to see Pacific Rim, but

I think we are going to see Lone Ranger or The Conjuring instead. We'll probably end up watching Lone Ranger, even though I would rather see Pacific Rim or The Conjuring.

2. You should plan to see it, even if you go by yourself..

it was awesome..I plan to see it again.

[Locut0s]

3. It's getting good reviews too which is surprising...

An entertaining B flick with style from what I can see. I'll have to see this now

[AsahinaKimi]

4. Its been a long time since Hollywood put out a half way decent film.

Many of the stories are old, or rehashes of something else. This one was fresh and new.. love the concept of kajiu vs giant Robots.

5. Cool! Told you I didn't do any spoilers

All I can say is, Idriss Elba has a presence. There are so few people nowadays who can pull off a group speech.

6. I just loved...Rinko Kikuchi

7. I'll have to agree

She looked luminous.

8. I really, -really- wanna see it.

In the meantime, I'll be thankful none of these Jaegers made the cut:

Reminds me of the GM "Make your own commercial" thing from years ago. DU got wind of the commercial editor and let 'me have it. It was amazing.

[Xyzse]

10. Wow... Where?

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

11. The GM commercial was back in...2004 I think?

DU even had a massive thread on it. I don't remember where, though. I can search the archives, see if I can find it.

12. No, I mean, I think I've read your post a bit wrong

I thought that it meant there was a site that allowed you to create your own Pacific Rim posters.

Where you can design the robot, pick parts, play around with the color a bit, and then put it in to a background.
Then it will create the poster.

That would have been a great idea.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

13. Ooh! YES! There is!

Sorry 'bout that.

Note: It does require the Unity player plug-in, though.

14. Holy! Thank you thank you thank you

I'm going to play with that later.

[AsahinaKimi]

15. make sure you post some of your designs..

I am looking forward to the movie action figures, both kaiju and Robots.

17. There was a giveaway in Yahoo for Pacific Rim swag

Should have posted it here when I saw it.
Completely forgot, and I don't have twitter so I didn't bother.

It was one of those twitter type give aways.

9. Recommended.

Special effects were spectacular. Well worth the price of admission. My theater shows 3D on the medium screens and regular D on the huge screens, so I went huge. I don't think I missed anything skipping the 3D.


Story was...elusive. In fact it seemed to me that there were just too many stories and not enough storytelling. Script was non-existent, but so what...it's popcorn and explosions. The only time I really felt anything, though, was that one scene with the little kid. That was like a whole 'nother movie.

Still, I recommend it. It's big and it's loud and it's fun.

16. Pacific Rim music

[Wait Wut]

18. The husband and I want to see it.

But, we wait for DVD/BluRay. Except for Riddick. He will be taking me to an actual theater to see Riddick.

[alarimer]

19. I'm sorry but movies about giant robots and monsters do not appeal to me at all.

So I guess I won't see it.

In fact I am thoroughly sick of the "Hollywood blockbuster" as currently constituted. Sick of superheroes, robots, sequels to stupid juvenile comedies, special-effects laden shlock-fests, etc., etc.

It seems like Hollywood is run by and for 12-year old boys.

20. Summer blockbusters are.

The entire point of the summer blockbuster is shitty plot, lack of romance, scantily-dressed hot women and lots of action & explosions. It's like Christmas for Michael Bay.

The key detail the comic misses is Bay would make the entire rest of the film for under $5M with a $20M budget so that he could spend $15M on the explosion.

21. I loved it! Saw it on Tuesday

and may go see it again tonight, but this time in IMAX 3D.

There's some gorgeous cinematography that needs to be seen on a big screen.
