Blu-ray? no way dude, 3D-Blu-ray!

Loved it. Of course you should not expect wonders regarding story and acting, but damn the CGI was excellent.


Why not both?

It took an hour and a half before the robots & monsters fight. The acting & story in that hour and a half is just so bad. I feel as if that if I watched this in imax 3d the last 30 minutes where there was robot/monster fighting it would've looked better. 3/10. The first hour and half is just unbearable & upset me.

Those crazy Russians...

Favorite Jaeger was also Crimson Typhoon.

I'm pretty sure Cherno Alpha had either the most total Kaiju kills, or the 2nd most (career wise) It was far from useless, but just couldn't handle the 1v2..

Striker Eureka holds the record at 11 (or 12 if you count the explosion at the end), and I think Crimson Typhoon has more kills than Cherno.

Cherno Alpha also had flamethrowers whereas Crimson had a plasma cannon like those equipped on Gipsy, though you don't see them used in the movie. Would've been cool though.

Your post upsets me. The first fight is in the first 15 minutes of the movie

I didn´t like how Kajuu came one every other week, but two separate teams mentioned that they had taken out 4-5 the same day. The double-event was supposed to be the impossible doomsday scenario, but it sounded like they had a five-double event several times before. It didn´t make sense with the rest of the world.

Oh, and yes, AWESOME! Rocket Punch!

You heard wrong dude

You are referring to the father-son team yes? They said "that was Striker Eureka's 10th kill to date"

Not 10th kill today.

Edit: But I don't know what the other team you are referring to? :O

To date? Makes much more sense. Thank you for clearing that up. Can´t believe I´ve been irritated over it for this long.

Intro, Gypsy Danger, Yancy and Raleigh. The Kaiju that killed Yancy would have been their fifth kill, not fifth that day like I first thought.

The movie alone is worth all expenses which go a long with a 3D equipment!

And i just read about the potential sequal!!1
I need to watch the movie again. And again, and again.

Del Toro offered the Pacific Rim 2 update during a chat with Buzzfeed. “I’m working very, very hard with Zak Penn,” he said. “We’ve been working for a few months now in secret. We found a way to twist it around.”

Pacific Rim 2 is now slated for an April 2017 release. They are also planning on doing a Pacific Rim animated series.

2017 seems soooo far away. The wait will be painful.

I wonder what the story will be about since I thought the ending wrapped it up nicely.

The nuke only delayed the creation of another portal, and this one is now under the atlantic ocean?

What, you thought a small nuke like that would wipe out the entire alien species or planet?

Pacific Rim 1 is Del Toro's love letter to the Monsters vs Mecha lore.

Pacificim Rim 2 will get more creative than that, Del Toro have stated that the alien side and the human side will pick up the bits and pieces of both mecha and the biological technological from each sides to craft a hybrid of both bio and mech monsters smashing each other.

Man I thought for sure that Godzilla will be better than Pacific Rim but Godzilla wasn't at all what my inner child expected. The original Godzilla franchise was more or less MMA fights between Godzilla and other giants battling out while the humanity stand by and offer commentary. The Godzilla movie only offered 5% of that in the entire movie. It suffered too much from the Transformer syndrome of focusing more on the human characters which by the way, our favorite actor was even absent for 1/2 of the movie.

So super excited for the sequel.

It looks like “Pacific Rim 2″ may explore the concepts of the Drift (a process pilots undergo before synchronizing with the Jaeger) and the portal more in depth than the first pic.

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, director Guillermo del Toro teased that the two films are standalones that are part of one big spectacle.

“It was hard to create a world that did not come from a comic book, that had its own mythology, so we had to sacrifice many aspects to be able to cram everything in the first movie,” he said. “Namely, for example ‘the Drift,’ which was an interesting concept. [Then there was] this portal that ripped a hole into the fabric of our universe, what were the tools they were using? And we came up with a really, really interesting idea.

I don’t want to spoil it, but I think at the end of the second movie, people will find out that the two movies stand on their own. They’re very different from each other, although hopefully bringing the same joyful giant spectacle. But the tenor of the two movies will be quite different.”

More details have been released about the Pacific Rim animated series:
http://collider.com/pacific-rim-animated-series-details/

Key points I saw:
  • In negotiations with Japanese companies for the animation (Sunrise pls).
  • Intended to bridge the gap between Pacific Rim 1 and Pacific Rim 2.
  • "Mostly a new set of characters, new Jaegers (except one or two), and new Kaiju."
  • Characters from the movie will appear as cameos, apparently.
  • Series wants to focus more on Drifting, but also more on Jaeger technology, and the guys who control the Kaiju.
  • Initial run is planned for 13 episodes, and will not be episodic, but rather a continuous story.
  • Says he wants to make it in the same spirit as Pacific Rim, with the ideal audience being young (11~ year olds).
Here's hoping the animated series has good ol' fashioned hand drawn mecha, rather than the CGI so many anime studios are going with now days. Also, they should get Masami Obari involved somehow.
