Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim!!!

[FQRizzo]

Because that's what happened when the Striker set off its nuke right outside the breach?

One nuke =/= 'round-the-clock nukes waiting to go off whenever a kaiju emerges from the breach'

The nukes wouldn't actually GO OFF round the clock, only when a kaiju emerges.

They weren't coming out every minute, in fact for years they were only appearing every few months or so. For all they know the invaders would have given up after losing 20 kaiju moments after exiting the breach.

If you want to act like the most sensible tactic wouldn't be to have automated nukes at the breach fine, I'm not to argue it. If you think the plot is plausible and every element makes tons of sense, more power to you. I enjoy the film greatly in spite of its "check your brain at the door" moments.

I get Kaiju portals in my backyard every so often and just pour gas down them in the middle of the night. No big deal .... ...

That's funny that you post a pic of hornets.

I remember someone on another board going off about how its physically impossible for monsters to be as big as kaiju because of the impossibility of supporting their own weight, yadda, yadda, yadda.

But when you think about it modern science considered the flight of honeybees to be "physically impossible" until just a few years ago. When I watch Pacific Rim I just assume we're in the "honeybee" stage of understanding how they move with regard to suspension of disbelief.

next time somebody claims that just say "Through God all things are possible"

How many movies' problems could be solved by blowing it up with a nuke? I'd rather watch giant robots than a movie about automated nukes.

They're not hornets....they're yellow jackets. Mean and nasty little ****ers that they are.

The Hobbit for one. Stupid dwarves always doing things the hard way.

It's actually a matter of the muscle weight, they found out that problem when doing Lord of the Rings--there gets to be a point where a creature can't have enough muscle to lift itself, like the Oliphants are so big even if they were entirely made of muscle they wouldn't have enough strength to lift themselves up.

 

[Black Knight]

I liked it.

 

[furystorm]

I likes it too! Four times.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

I've only one a 1 & 1

 

[CelticPredator]

I watched it at home once, and I watched it again right after with the commentary.

 

[Kuzeh]

Amateurs!!
7 in theaters and 2 at home!!

 

[jnmx2000]

I've seen it 4 times in theaters and once at home. only once was not 3d, 3d is the only way to watch this movie. I couldn't believe I had to go to three different stores before I found a blu ray copy of this film. Talk about being popular on blu ray.
