Pacific Rim anyone?

[pokute]

Did anyone else go see this? I saw it in NormalView(tm) and loved it. Going to go back in a couple of weeks and watch it in IMAX 3D.

Kinda disheartening there's not even a thread on it. Is the movie really tanking that badly? Where in the world did all the marketing budget go?

[ElFuzzy]

I saw it on release without 3D. I loved it but lost a bit of faith in humanity when I heard grown ups 2 beat it out no problem.

For some reason I kept thinking of stupid one liners whilst watching it. My 2 personal favorites were: When Gypsy lost a sword arm, so they used the other, I thought, "And God blessed us with a spare!!! *stab*." The other was when gypsy finally got into the 2 Kaiju fight I thought, "Oh there was some misunderstanding. This isn't a fight, it's an asswhooping, you just happen to be present."

SO GOOD.

I mean, it won't be for everyone. But for me. SO GOOD

For some reason I kept thinking of stupid one liners whilst watching it.

Probably because it was that kind of movie. Cheesy one-liners are not only appropriate, but highly desirable.

SO GOOD.

I didn't even watch The Avengers twice in theatres, or in 3D, but for Pacific Rim, I will.

[Lurkon]

I LOVED this movie. However,
helicopters flying in a heart formation over the couple at the end of the film? Really? Haha.

[Fezzul]

Saw it. Loved it.

[TheGhostOfZero]

I think I might use the last of my money to see it again in 3D.

[JayBlanc]

My twitter sized review of the movie was - "Pacific Rim is the movie that Roland Emmerich and Michael Bay would have made if they *had talent* and *could make really good movies*."

[Thysane]

That bit where Raleigh shouts "We'll do this! Together!", and Gypsy goes into a crouching position with the sword before launching itself forwards?

I broke out in a silly twelve-year-old grin and the Gurren Lagann theme played in my head.

[Geoff_B]

Any chance we can get a decent Gundam movie now?

[TheGhostOfZero]

or a decent kaiju flick?

[ElFuzzy]

There's a Godzilla movie coming up... idk if it's gonna be like the last one.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Well if nothing else, the CGI has had another 15 years of development on the last film

[tamaness]

I loved it, but I like impractical giant robots.

[Geoff_B]

I am pleased to see that 00 has pride of place in the centre. I would be even more pleased however if it was 00 Raiser

[tamaness]

It is 00 Raiser PG. I just don't have all of the accessories on him because he'd take about twice as much space then.

I'm also working on a collection of RX-78 Mk.2 models. I currently have a MG, an RG, and a high-complete from the '80s.

I am quite partial to Code Geass, with the Knightmare Frames.

Same here, I want a Lancelot and Albion so bad

Looked this up on a whim. Turns out they do have Pacific Rim models/figures. They're no gunpla but hey.

[CaptainEnder7]

Loved it myself. Lot of fun, but part of me still wishes that Guillermo del Toro had the opportunity to make "At the Mountains of Madness" instead.

[Keab42]

Really enjoyed it. Need to write up my review of it. Thinking of going to see it a second time.

[Can't Wear Hats]

It was SO GOOD. It somehow managed to combine all the tropes of Japanese mecha anime, American blockbuster movies and Power Rangers into two hours of straight-up awesome, and never once seemed ashamed of its genre.

Wanna see it again.

[Koyote042]

Great friends purchased a ticket for me.
