Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim!!!

[Devil_666]

Man, this movie looks like its a bombastic plethora of entertaining but mindless action akin to Avengers, Transformers and Battleship but with apparently better action.

I love all the actors Del Toro has chosen way more than any of the "actors" Bay chose. This is better than Transformers and all I've seen are the trailers. I can tell the robots apart, and understand what they are fighting.

Oh yeah, I can already tell it's way better than those movies and Del Toro is much better at choosing actors.
On the whole this looks like a BIG fun popcorn movie meant to be watched on the big screen ,and I'm sure he does a good job of conveying that.

Closer to Avengers, and nothing like Bayformers and Battlecrap

A movie about giant robots is closer to a movie about superhumans than two other movies about giant robots. Makes sense.

FYI i never said it was bad just that it was like Transformers and Battleship because reviews said it's an all out action movie with big robots

Well, i'm sold. Although Del Toro sold me on the film when he first started talking about the idea publicly. I cannot wait to see this. I hope Idris gets some Jaeger hero time.

Early screening...

Just me...my wife is on a business trip...

Ok guys... a few more thoughts...

Let's get this out of the way... the 3D even though is post-converted, is one of THE BEST I've seen since Avatar, and I am not kidding! GDT personally supervised it, and you can tell that even though he was not happy about doing it, he did an extraordinary job directing the conversion.

Soundtrack if you've heard is absolutely fantastic, goes really well with the movie and action! Has some very epic moments and a variety of moods that helps support the movie.

Acting, Idris Elba IMO steals the show... he commands, motivates and really is a badass! The other actors do a great job, but nothing to write home about.
The humor is typical Del Toro humor, a little Jurassic-Park-esque actually, which isn't bad at all.

SFX are absolutely mind-blowing, from the production design, to the sets, and obviously the Kaiju and Jaegers, simply outstanding work.

As for the story, it's pretty straight-forward, threat-battle-mission-action one... but all the details of how this world revolves, is what makes you feel part of it. Very immersive tech and story.

Now, it's NOT a perfect movie, it has some predictable moments, and some that are cliché for the genre. Some of the acting might not be everyone's cup of tea, specially the humor. But I gotta say, it is never annoying like Bayformers or ID4 "if" you wanna compare it to that crap.

GDT really enjoyed this playground and it shows!
Now, he has like 2 sides, the deep-imagination one which is for movies like Pan's Labyrinth, Cronos or Devil's Backbone, and the fun-playground one that is Blade 2, HB1 and HB2... this one is obviously on the latter category but cranked up to 11!!
Loved it!

Keeps getting better with every new clip.

Spoiler

I'm guessing the final fight takes place at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean?

I can barely contain the excitement. I'm going to go home after work and repose Gipsy Danger and Crimson Typhoon. i hope NECA makes the rest of the Jaegers.
