It's way more rewarding when the movie/book/whatever doesn't shy away from sad endings when they make sense in both the universe the stories are set in and in the storyline. If Pacific Rim was all happy and Disney all throughout, I wouldn't feel cheated, but after they showed us the massacre and the horror of the monsters, you can't really say that death and destruction isn't part of the setting of the story. | ||

Seeing the first Transformers movies and seeing the brilliantly made transformations scenes and see these robots brought to life the first time was amazing and I Loved the movie. Hell I saw it twice once with my friends and once with my family. But there has to be something said for a movie that looks good and makes you think afterwards. One that came out fairly recently that I liked and made me think a bit after the movie is The Edge of Tomorrow. I recommend it to anyone that hasn't seen it yet. Really cool premise based on a manga. | ||

But rarely, if ever, will they make it into my favorite stories. The sort of thing that lives on with you comes from a plot, and those are the ones that I hold near and dear to my heart. And that's why the Original Trilogy is flawless and the best ever. Anyone who thinks otherwise is either misinformed or a heretic. | ||

Pacific Rim is supposed to be a love letter to the genre, not a reforging of the giant monster wheel. It's supposed to be more of the old because, unless I missed a big western release was the 1998 Godzilla(does Cloverfield count? I know it has a big monster, but I've never seen it cause hur dur blair witch camera syndrome.) It's supposed to bring back the good feelings of the old in a slightly shinier package. Not to say that Pacific Rim is objectively a "good" movie, just that people who don't know what they are watching it for can't appreciate it. | ||

The Triplets screen time lasted approximately three minutes. Sums up a bunch of the movie for me. When it's (partly) about the robots and monsters, why don't you give more exposure to the designs you did? T_T The scene I remember most is the deployment, because Cherno Alpha looked pretty darn cool in its appearing shot, with the low-angle camera and the color scheme that gives it that hulking, massive appearance. Obviously between its name, its nationality and the design it's a bit corny, but if you forget about that the outline of the robot is memorable. And then we barely get to see them. Another thing I liked in the fights choregraphy was how deliberately "slow/ample" the movements were, because these things are pretty massive, and the shots of the pilots maneuvering. There was something nifty to seeing them repeat the same moves in unisson like that, from an aesthetic standpoint. | ||

I heard that this is where the cool people hang out. I was hoping we could discuss things like Dungeons and Dragons, Warhammer 40k, Pokemon, and other things and in general just be awesome. | ||
