Title: Pacific Rim films
Post by: Ratchetcomand on Mar 08, 2011, 04:29:31 AM
Mountains of Madness isn't happening, so Guillermo del Toro (Blade II, Hellboy 1-2, Pan's Lanyrinth) is making this giant monster film his next project!

http://www.aintitcool.com/node/48780 (http://www.aintitcool.com/node/48780)

This movie was once thought to be the Godzila reboot, but that's untrue. I can't wait to see Del Toro making some giant monster action.

Edit: Typos fixed. I can't believe I never really noticed them :P!

Nah. I don't think there's much of a taste for it anymore - fear of nuclear catastrophe isn't at the forefront of most people's minds. And we've already seen what the genre looks like when it's made with modern sensibilities, in the form of the American Godzilla and Cloverfield.

I think the worst thing about this movie so far is that the writer behind the recent Clash of the Titans remake is the writer for this movie.

Del Toro is officially directing.

http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=31552 (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=31552)

Legendary Pictures announced today that Guillermo del Toro is directing the company's upcoming feature, Pacific Rim, confirmed as his next film. The film has already entered pre-production and will begin principal photography in September 2011. Pacific Rim will be released during summer 2013 and will be produced by Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni for Legendary Pictures and Guillermo del Toro.

Stated Guillermo del Toro: "We started developing PAC RIM a while ago with the mad passion and enthusiasm of a project unwatched and unchecked by politics or comparisons. We designed and shepherded the movie we want to make. We start shooting in September and we hit the ground running because we are so in sync. My partnership with Legendary represents, both in scale and creative demands, a huge step forward for me."

http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=31678 (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=31678)

In alternate version of Earth in the near future, decades after a historic date in November 2012 when the first kaiju, a towering Godzilla-like beast, emerged from a hole in the Pacific Ocean and attacked the city of Osaka, Japan. The second is "The Anteverse," another universe on the other side of that gaping portal, 5 miles below our ocean's surface.

Since the first attack, the rim has been "spitting out" a variety of gigantic monsters at an increasing rate, which then stride out of the ocean and begin destroying sea-bordering cities, like Tokyo and Los Angeles. In order to combat these monstrous, otherworldly menaces, the military developed the "Jaeger" program, which trains teams of two pilots to jointly operate massive, building-sized mechanized suits of armor and high-tech weaponry.

Within the first act alone, we are given enough detailed background on the god-like Jaeger systems, its shared neural piloting system (called "pons"), and the relentless beasts. But Beacham is an absolute master at immediately establishing characters and their conflicts.

The central character is Raleigh Antrobus, 23, a skilled Jaeger pilot still wrestling emotionally with the loss of his co-pilot and biological brother, Yance, during a mission a year earlier. The ordeal has wreaked havoc on his mind spirit, leaving him with ghostly nightmares of the battle from the shared "pons" experience. After the initial setup, the damaged hero is recruited to re-join the task force in Tokyo, where pilots are in demand, and team with a fellow "leftover," 22-year-old female Japanese pilot Mako Mori. Naturally, the language barrier (among other things) presents an issue for the out-of-sync duo, meaning an even steeper learning curve for the unprecedented pairing. Meanwhile, Felicity "Flick" Kincaid, a journalist and Yance's former fiancée, circles the globe (ours) to discover answers about this mysterious rift and the origins of its intensifying threat.

Considering the recent earthquakes in Christchurch and Japan, coupled with La Nina it's hardly surprising the studio would start getting antsy about a film called 'Pacific Rim'.  A title change is more than likely at the least.  But quite a bit of time will have passed by the time this gets on screens, so the disaster elements won't potentially be as raw.

LP wants him to direct the new Godzilla film but it seems like he does not want too. It seems like after losing this and Mountains, he might do Hellboy 3 now.

If this is confined to a sre-writing and changing the title, I totally agree with their intention - we'll just get the film only later than expected, there's nothing to worry about.

QuoteIn addition, early rumors continue to carry some truth. Apparently Del Toro has been asked (again) to turn Pacific Rim into the new Godzilla. He refused.
Bravo, Del Toro.

Post by: Ratchetcomand on Mar 18, 2011, 05:01:21 PM
The plot for this movie has a similar plot to the IDW comics of Godzilla. I think it won't work well for a Godzilla film since I think fans would rather want something.

The studio is seriously trying to get Del Toro to make it Godzilla? What about Garth Edwards? He must feel pretty shitty about the studios confidence in him if their courting Del Toro.

Ahh Gotcha. Well ... they seem like they are going to be two different types of pictures to me. Godzilla seems like it's going to be dark and a return to the terror and devastation. Pacific Rim sounds like Ultraman or one of the 60's Godzilla monster mashes on steroids.

You can see where the money will be. (And there for the interest of LP) Especially after the last American Iguanilla.

I can also see why they wanted to 'merge' the two ... bringing the powerhouse of Del Toro and the Godzilla brand together ... but I'm glad that's not happening.

Guillermo del Toro talks Pacific Rim.

http://shocktillyoudrop.com/news/comicconnews.php?id=20089 (http://shocktillyoudrop.com/news/comicconnews.php?id=20089)

QuoteWhen he's done with his business in San Diego, Del Toro returns to Toronto to finish prep on the film which involves, he tells us, "Giant robots verses giant monsters. I cannot say more about the monsters. Some of the synopsis that is out there is not exactly accurate. There is going to be a gigantic spectacle of action, science fiction and horror."

Del Toro says that the title refers to where the movie - moreover, the action - takes place: Los Angeles, Tokyo, Alaska, Australia and New Zealand.

"It was a great escape from At the Mountains of Madness being canceled," he said. "About 72 hours after Mountains was cancelled I was on board for Pacific Rim."

Max Martini is the latest name to join the cast of Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim, according to a story at Variety.

The film, from screenwriter Travis Beacham, is said to be a variation on the Japanese Kaiju genre (giant monsters) and the plot sees a future Earth defending itself from attacking creatures through the use of enormous mechanized robots.

Martini, who has appeared in Saving Private Ryan, Contact and Redbelt, will appear alongside Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Charlie Day and Rinko Kikuchi. His part is said to be that of a resistance fighter who goes up against the invading creatures.

The Legendary Pictures production is aiming for a July 12, 2013 release.

Willem Dafoe and Rob Kazinsky Join Guillermo del Toro's PACIFIC RIM

Rob Kazinsky had to drop out of The Hobbit in April for personal reasons, but he is again ready for a tentpole.  Variety reports Kazinsky has joined the cast of Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim as a member of the team fighting alien invaders.  Moreover, Willem Dafoe is in early talks to play a "rogue scientist with expertise on alien creatures."  Sounds like perfect casting.  Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Charlie Day, and Max Martini also star.

After a couple of false starts, Del Toro is chomping at the bit to shoot his next movie in November.  To give you an idea of what's in store, Del Toro has called it "the biggest giant monster movie ever made"  and promised  "the finest f**king monsters ever committed to screen" at Comic-Con.  Pacific Rim is scheduled for release on July 12, 2013.

http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=31678 (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=31678)

In alternate version of Earth in the near future, decades after a historic date in November 2012 when the first kaiju, a towering Godzilla-like beast, emerged from a hole in the Pacific Ocean and attacked the city of Osaka, Japan. The second is "The Anteverse," another universe on the other side of that gaping portal, 5 miles below our ocean's surface.

Since the first attack, the rim has been "spitting out" a variety of gigantic monsters at an increasing rate, which then stride out of the ocean and begin destroying sea-bordering cities, like Tokyo and Los Angeles. In order to combat these monstrous, otherworldly menaces, the military developed the "Jaeger" program, which trains teams of two pilots to jointly operate massive, building-sized mechanized suits of armor and high-tech weaponry.



Within the first act alone, we are given enough detailed background on the god-like Jaeger systems, its shared neural piloting system (called "pons"), and the relentless beasts. But Beacham is an absolute master at immediately establishing characters and their conflicts.

The central character is Raleigh Antrobus, 23, a skilled Jaeger pilot still wrestling emotionally with the loss of his co-pilot and biological brother, Yance, during a mission a year earlier. The ordeal has wreaked havoc on his mind spirit, leaving him with ghostly nightmares of the battle from the shared "pons" experience. After the initial setup, the damaged hero is recruited to re-join the task force in Tokyo, where pilots are in demand, and team with a fellow "leftover," 22-year-old female Japanese pilot Mako Mori. Naturally, the language barrier (among other things) presents an issue for the out-of-sync duo, meaning an even steeper learning curve for the unprecedented pairing. Meanwhile, Felicity "Flick" Kincaid, a journalist and Yance's former fiancée, circles the globe (ours) to discover answers about this mysterious rift and the origins of its intensifying threat.

http://shocktillyoudrop.com/news/topnews.php?id=21946 (http://shocktillyoudrop.com/news/topnews.php?id=21946)

QuoteDel Toro: We start shooting next Monday [Eds. note: Nov. 14] on Pacific Rim, which is a gigantic production for Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. We are wrapping production on a smaller, very powerful horror film called Mama, which I am producing. Chuck and I are working on a series of books that I can't talk too much about. But we started on that about two weeks ago. I'm still working on animation at DreamWorks. I'm keeping myself pretty busy.

We are working with actors that I absolutely adore. Idris Elba, Charlie Day, Charlie Hunnam, Ron Perlman. It's really, it's a very, very beautiful poem to giant monsters. Giant monsters versus giant robots. Twenty-five-story-high robots beating the crap out of 25-story-high monsters. We're trying to create a world in which the characters are real and how it would affect our world politically, how it would affect the landscape if creatures like this really came out of the sea, etc.

QuoteI never "bend" a property to fit me. I just fall in love with the stories and give it my everything, so- don't worry about GOLDEN ARMY Mechas. These are proper robots but they obey our own sensibilities in design. I am not making them gear or steampunky at all but I also don't want them to be just a "riff" on preexisting designs from Anime or games.

As far as Japan, Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi), one of our main characters is Japanese and her flashbacks are tied to a MAJOR set piece set in Tokyo. We are involving – and always have involved- the entire PACIFIC RIM. Japan, China, Australia, Coastal Russia etc, etc No major rewrites took place after the Earthquake. I changed the nature and location of Mako's flashback but it was still in Japan.

Screenwriters Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton on PACIFIC RIM

Quote
"It's giant monsters versus giant robots, and Guillermo del Toro is the only person who could bring it to you. That was an amazing experience, because we read the script, and so we went in knowing what the producers and studio wanted us to do; and we went in and met Guillermo, and he started showing us the tests by ILM. They were just mind-blowing. I think they'll probably show something at Comic-Con 2012. Because they should be done by then, or close to done by then. I'm telling you, it's gonna rule Hall H when Guillermo, the king of geeks, comes out and shows some of the stuff he's shot. People are gonna be blow away."

"Bring dad, bring the kids, bring everybody, and hold on."

"This is a PG movie." "Most of his stuff is pretty edgy, for the most part. Nothing below PG-13 that I can think of. So this is his sort of four-quadrant movie. But it's got all the traits of a Guillermo movie, with the monsters and the younger characters and the things that go bump in the night... It's pretty great."

Ramin Djawadi (Game of Thrones, Iron Man, Mr. Brooks) is doing the score. :)

May....2013! Gaaaaahhhhh. I've been looking forward to this for awhile, but just found out that it's more than a year away.  :'(

I love the cast. Idris Elba has become one of my favorites as of late, and I love Charlie Hunnam in Sons of Anarchy...we even share the same birthday.  :laugh:

Shame about the PG rating, but I'm still super stoked.

Why would a movie about robots and giant monsters beating the crap out of eachother need to be rated R? This isn't Evangelion.

Because the potential for human casualties is incredibly high. I was thinking atleast PG-13.

QuoteBeware of trying to impose models of things that already have been done to the point of being a genre or subgenre in themselves.

In other words, if you want a straight Mecha or straight Kaiju movie, there is an already existing catalogue of great ones.

Kaiju and Mecha are influences on this but so were fairy tales in Pan's Labyrinth or Ghost stories on Devil's Backbone or comic books on Hellboy.

We have created a new property and we are making it work in its very own terms. I believe the more you allow us to surprise you the happier you'll be.

The official synopsis have been released.

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Wolvie09/news/?a=60276 (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Wolvie09/news/?a=60276)

QuoteFrom acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro comes Warner Bros. Pictures' and Legendary Pictures' epic sci-fi action adventure "Pacific Rim."

When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes-a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)-who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind's last hope against the mounting apocalypse.

Oscar® nominee Guillermo del Toro ("Pan's Labyrinth") is directing "Pacific Rim" from a script by Travis Beacham ("Clash of the Titans"). Thomas Tull, Jon Jashni and Mary Parent are producing, with Callum Greene serving as executive producer.

The film stars Charlie Hunnam (TV's "Sons of Anarchy"), Idris Elba ("Thor"), Rinko Kikuchi ("The Brothers Bloom"), Charlie Day ("Horrible Bosses"), and Ron Perlman (the "Hellboy" films). The ensemble cast also includes Max Martini, Robert Kazinsky, Clifton Collins, Jr., Burn Gorman, Larry Joe Campbell, Diego Klattenhoff, and Brad William Henke.

'Jaeger' sound suspiciously like Jet Jaguar -- and this 'getting Jaeger from the past' reminds me of Mazinger somehow. I like the sound of it.

But FFS 'Kaiju'. 'Giant Monster' isn't up your alley at all, uh?

Guillermo Del Toro Discusses The Scale Of PACIFIC RIM

QuoteSpeaking with Total Film, director Guillermo del Toro discusses his latest film, Pacific Rim (a sci-fi epic which del Toro calls a homage to the kaiju genre). While not very in-depth, he offers some high praise for the production of the movie. "So much of the creation of the movie was having the best creative experience I've ever had in Hollywood," the director says.

Additionally, del Toro talks about the scale that he's working on. "When we're talking about the physicality of the fight, we ended up building several blocks of Hong Kong. And literally demolished them. We built a building and then we took down the buildings.

"We built command centres of the robots that were the size of the house. We started them on hydraulic rigs that shoot and elevated them and moved them round so you could really get a sense of the physical nature driving a robot like this."

Some more info from del Toro.

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/nailbiter111/news/?a=62034 (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/nailbiter111/news/?a=62034)

Quote"I went for raw power and beauty. I only hired guys who are absolute monster fans and robot fans.

How about those robots?

The robots are real machines rather than movie machines - gorgeous and functional at the same time. Each of the robots, when they step in, has their own personality. One has a huge spiky mace made of iron, and another has a giant battleaxe. You don't go, 'I wonder what his fighting style is?' You immediately understand what his fight style is!"

Guillermo actually went to his official fansite and clarified that quote about the spiky mace and giant battleaxe. He says, "Alas, the battle axe and spiked mace are misplaced quotes (my damn accent, I'm sure) I wont clear more for fear of spoilers- but the weapons are both melee and ammo. Anyway- The "cutlery" we have is pretty cool."

Where will the battles take place?

"We had a Tokyo scene that we shot here in Toronto. We had several Hong Kong scenes and a few scenes in Australia, through the television. We briefly see the kaiju take over San Francisco. The whole Pacific Rim needs a sense of danger."

"We take the battles far and above! Two or three of them happen in places where there have never been a battle between kaiju and robots. From the bottom of the ocean to the atmosphere of the Earth. We have a battle in a storm at sea. Every battle we try to do differently. One is seen from the point of view of a single person. We never cut away from that point of view."

That's probably the obsolete model the two main characters have to pilot. I'd expect the rest of the mechs to look more stylized.

Does the green suit represent an "Old school" suit perhaps developed back in the 50's? I don't remember if the appearance of the giant monsters is confined to a recent/futurist event ... or if they have always been popping up throughout human history. If it's the latter, then I expect some cool steam punk retro tech to be on display.

Here's some stuff from the panel and the footage they showed.

GDT explains that, in the world of the movie two pilots are needed to control the giant robots.

One pilot controls the left side of the robot and the other controls the right.

The energy surge from piloting the robot will kill a single pilot.

It has a cartoonish quality to it, but also very realistic. Think THE IRON GIANT if it was live action.

We see a little bit of one monster attacking a bridge. It's mostly claws and we can't see the body in whole, but think Godzilla with six arms.

There's nine Kaijus throughout the film and 7 robots.

Three of the monsters are sea monsters. Some are flying monsters.

Godzilla should show up at the end of Pacific Rim, just as when everyone thinks that Earth is saved. Then GODZILLA appears and f**k everyone up.

Or, they could say that the Old Jeagar in this movie fought Godzilla once, and just show that scene and have it be Big G's cameo.

I posted a similar idea on a different forum a few days ago. Great minds think alike, eh?

I actually suggested he just be the final kaiju of the film, which ends up wiping out the Chinese Jaeger.

I'm guessing now since we know more about the movie, the things behind them are the "chairs" they set it to control each half of the robot (you see 01 above one of the chairs, make an assumption 02  is over the other one).  Since you don't see any controls really, I'm guessing once they are in those "chairs" they are connected in with sensors (e.g. matrix, avatar, etc).  to control the robot through mind/thought control.

If Jet Jaguar ever showed up he should end up like Unit-03 from Evangelion. Ripped apart, head punched in, and nothing but a mess all over the place. 8) ;D

Ok I will try to represent the Kaijus Jet and the best way possible, but no wonder the same thing happened when I read the script for Cloverfield. They give a few details of aspects of clover in the original script.
The screenwriters do on purpose to hide the appearance of the Kaiju.

New York Comic-Con: Guillermo Del Toro Talks PACIFIC RIM and the Prequel Graphic Novel

QuoteOne of the eyes in the robot is a nod to the Portal character GLaDOS, and they even got voice actress Ellen McLain to record a couple lines of dialogue.


Regarding the personalities of the monsters in his movies, Del Toro says, "There's a sense of loss every time a monster dies."  But with the monsters in Pacific Rim, he sees them as a force of nature, so there won't be something like the death of the elemental in Hellboy II: The Golden Army.
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: scarhunter92 on Oct 13, 2012, 06:59:59 PM

But that's fine. While Prometheus isn't everything we were promised and has room for improvement, it's been getting an average of solid reviews and it's regarded as a financial success. Only the hardcore Alien fanbase and a small fraction of the casual moviegoers have been bitching about it.

"Pacific Rim" does not have a budget anywhere near $250 million. :laugh:

$150-$175 million is more like it.

250 million if you want count marketing since the budget is around 200 million from what I've been told.

You know, I'm inclined not to comment. ;D I like it alright, but it really looks like a clash of styles to me.  The top is very anime, but the legs are kind of square and industrial-looking.  Almost Iron Man, when the top is more Evangelion.

It could be sweet, though.

Anyone wants to bet on when the first trailer will be released?

I'm setting on December, because putting the trailer in front of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey seems like a good idea to kick off the hype machine for the general public. Take in mind both are WB films. And Del Toro already said we wouldn't be seeing anything else until the end of the year.

From what I've heard, there will be more than one type of monster. Flying ones are rumoured as well. Wouldn't mind a Mothra type homage or Rodan type creature.

Certainly looks like those two creatures shown in the trailer are different species, at least.

I don't see anything wrong with calling the monsters kaiju, even if technically the term is daikaiju. And I really don't see what the issue is with the robot designs, either. They look like giant robots, what more do you want?

That was actually really cool! I can't wait to get a better look at the creature! I don't know if this has been confirmed or not, but do all the monsters in the film look the same, or are there a variety of different types?

I don`t want to serch for this article (I`m lazy), but read somewere Kaiju are different as well as Jaggers.

So what I'm kinda assuming, is that Different Kaiju may attack different places. So those places have different Jaegers to combat those specific Kaiju, maybe?


I just want a Jaeger that looks like Jet Jaguar.

First look at the monsters.

This is looking like the Hollywood Gojira movie people have been waiting for.
I think that the Gojira film being made now might be too late, if this turns out good this is going to be the monster franchise that going to take over.


I see this more as the movie testing the waters. The movie that is going to see if the common viewer has any interest in Giant Monster Movies in this time and age.

And if they do, then when Godzilla comes out he's gonna bitch slap Pacific Rim and take his throne, all else be damned.

I think this could possibly be the German Jaeger in the upper right corner:

Also, this suit is confirmed for the pilot of the Russian Cherno Alpha:

Anyone know how the Jaegers fight the monsters?This has the potential to be really corny if the mechas use melee combat to fight. I mean It would make more sense to fight the monsters with projectile/ranged weapons and then bumrush the monster with punches and kicks after.

Post by: chupacabras acheronsis on Nov 29, 2012, 05:51:06 PM
why would you load weapons in the mech when you could leave the armies in charge of the firepower and dedicate the mechs to doing what it does best?

Gerente de finanzas

Subject: APPROVAL OF LATINAMERICA SHATTERDOME

RAMON:
As requested I have completed the inventory of corporate financial letter. What is even more important, I have been closely following the crisis in tokyo Onibaba incident. It is increasingly urgent.
In accordance with our subsidiaries and shareholders worldwide we decide that we are willing to divert $ 19,647,000,000 CLP to speed assembly of Lima Shatterdome , which will host the jaegers Tacit Ronin and the next Mark-2 of diablo intercept . This strike group regional will defend the southeastern quadrant Pacific basin, from Medellin to the Patagonia.
This financial contribution represents the hope of the latinamerican people. With it, the Lima strike group will run from August this year. Without it, the construction will take three to six months more.
I do not want to scare you, but K-WATCH predicts a high likelihood of another Kaiju incident during this period .
My professional opinion is that there is no better use of our resources to invest in PPDC. Please check the attached budget proposal sent for approval.
I trust you will make the right decision.

/tv/ is a f**king trollfest when it comes to movies like Prometheus and Avatar.  You can't really tell what they like.  Also the threads so far have been enthusiastic for the trailer, but yeah, edgy posts are pretty much unavoidable.

there's only one way a fa/tv/irgin likes or hates something, and that is with the most adamant, furious and fanatic arrogance and assholery about it. They honestly believe the movie has NO FLAWS and is superior to Alien. That is, if they're not busy bashing Aliens.

but enough of that, lets focus on the trailer. The chronological next piece of data in the website corresponds to the french document. I suspect the trailer will mostly deal with the Jeager creation.

Thats raw son. But yeah. I really wanted something special ala 'Gundam reinvented for the big screen' even before we saw pictures of this movie. I had no idea how they were going to go it. i was hoping for it.  They didnt do it. They slapped Guillem del toros ass on it. Hobbit fans are swooning. Mech fans  are going, :\
But at least there are Honest movies that will cost millions but make nothing.

I know this movie is going to be fantastic, for one reason; The crashing scene in the trailer.

Some will compare it to the blind violence of transformers, and say it's just a reason to use CGI cause it looks cool.


This is incorrect, though. This scene, to me, shows that the creators of this movie remember their inspiration. In EVERY Giant Robot/Superhero Japanese show, there's almost always a scene where the monster throws the hero, and he quickly recovers to continue combating the monster or foe. The crashing scene was a PERFECTLY done throwback to that, while still keeping it realistic and showing the real destruction that would do with creatures/robots/e.t.c of that size. As someone who is a fan of the showa Godzilla movies, Jet Jaguar, and other shows and movies like Zone Fighter and Ultraman, this is all I need to see it will be great.

Thats not a homage? Thats not even a distinct scene from anything! YOU JUST MADE THAT SHIT UP!!!
So you tell me that one of the robots might have a rocket launcher in their arsenal and thats a direct homage? F that.

Listen, if one of the robots, turns into a freaking jet fighter, then talk to me.

"That GLaDOS voice is distracting."

"My taste in cinema has improved over the last 22 years. I don't need to see a bunch of Gundam fanboys cumming in their pants"

"this looks just stupid. The robots have no orginality and neither do the monsters really"

"this looks like a transformers ripof"

"Looks like if Reel Steel and Cloverfield had a baby before Micheal Bay rape it"

I've gleaned two things from this trailer:

I can already tell this movie is not going to be actiony. Save for one shot in the arctic it looks like they're going to have one costal battle near a city, every shot not pertaining to that looks like human talking. After Iron Man 2 only gave two action scenes (as predicted in the trailer) I become more skeptical. In other words it is one of those movies that advertises itself as an action movie only to get a lot of talking with one or two actual action scenes thrown in for market value (like the remake of Inglorious Bastards).

And yes this is coming from the local mecha anime fan.

Hate to say it, the concept is a very overseas B movie. ( thats a nobrainer) if the cgi were any less good, it would be terrible if not for the actors involved. Its an amalgam of actors/actress that would make any movie a very interesting one. Unfortunately, this movies' concept is based off of some rather unrealistic stuff(ie, godzilla).

Meh, the AVPG General Film/ TV Discussion forum remains my #1 movie news/discussion destination. News seems to get here very quickly, and there's lots of great people to discuss the films with. :)

I'm certainly not expecting another The Avengers with this film, but it looks like it could very easily wind up being on par with, say, Del Toro's Hellboy. Both Pacific Rim and Hellboy seem to be kind of cult films that on the surface appear to have a very limited audience but are presented in such a way that they are going to have much wider appeal, and manage to be really cool in the process.

Also, more Del Toro monster designs are always great as well!

I'm not feelin' it.

This is going to rock untold socks at the cinema, but that narration was flat as trampled shit and Elba's speech felt phoned in. I know it's only a trailer, but all it said to me was that this would be all flash and no bang.

I'd tell myself to shut up and wait for the movie cos damn, giant robots, but it's del Toro; pretty but effectively empty movies is pretty much all he gets to do in Hollywood outside of the Hellboy series.

I'll be there opening day. Ish. But I'm setting my expectations at "Really good action interspersed with increasingly unengaging character moments", because that seems to be the trend these days, and the trailer gives me no reason to think otherwise.

Keep in mind I was pretty much expecting the same thing from Total Recall, and that wound up being one of the most enjoyable films I've seen all year.

Ugh, looking at the comments (on the youtube trailer) reminds me why I have a mild disgust for the average anime watcher. It's not Japanese, its gunna be retarded, maybe if it was dubbed it would be cool (WTF!?) etc, etc, etc, etc. Most ironically of all "America needs to get its own ideas for movies. Humans piloting robots!?!?! Such a ripoff!"

Ironic, because technically speaking, the first instance of Humans using mecha for war was in an American book, by Robert A. Heinlein.

I am so excited for this movie all I can think about is seeing it now and seeing it when my son is old enough to watch it too.

But, on the topic of Evangelion, it could work as a movie.  Evangelion movies so far have worked in condensed form over NGE series, so I'm sure a story could be adapted to the big screen fairly easily.

They should've removed that awful voice over and the speech and the trailer would've been perfect. Giant Robots vs Monsters is a good thing and I'll see it in theaters for that alone. :) Del Toro's a decent writer so I don't this being anything but a fun monster romp.

You should pic up a graphic novel or two for cheap. They're pretty good stories. I never read it till the movie was announced and bought some at an anime convention. I was very pleasantly surprised.

Looks like it could be fun but also really bad too. I'm just amazed Del Toro has entered the Bay realm...of sorts, well that's what it looks like.

'Robot Jox' yes! as someone said further back.

Gotta be honest though, if it were anyone else directing this film most would poo poo it as another 'Transformers' 'Battleship' pile of crapola. So Del Toro has got a lot on his plate here, and it does look totally ridiculous lets be honest haha

What isn't a wet dream for Toys R Us? I saw them selling action figures for SE7EN, for God's sake. They're supposedly bringing out a 'Slave and Slavemaster' action figure set with attachable Cat O' Nine Tails  scars, for Django Unchained. They brought out Nazi figurines with removable scalps for Inglorious Basterds. They even brought out a souvenir Minotaur penis to correspond to the release of Your Highness.

Toys R Us knows no bounds. This movie will provide no obstacle for them. Don't let their obsession ruin it for you, Hubbs.

I don't think it looks Bayish, and here's why.
1- The shots are comprehensible. I'm actually able to follow what I'm looking at, and the shots do look like they have a purpose. Ie, to show what's happening. Not 'let's show off a dozen explosions at once! Upside down! In front of a sunset! And a half naked girl! Slanted! And shaky!' I can make out what's happening here.

2- The physics make more sense. One thing I never could get about Transformers was the physics. I never felt like these things were big, or, um. Real. Not to mention the humans doing clearly impossible things, like slide down buildings. Here, when the monsters destroy things, they feel like they're there because the inertia, the momentum, it all works. And the robots, too- when they're fighting, or even just moving, I actually get the feeling that they are gigantic and operate within our universe's physics.

3- Plot- I know it's hard to tell from this... but it does seem like there will be character development here. Just from the commentary from Del Toro... if that San Francisco attack is a flashback to what drives a character, then we have something. Also, Del Toro is a beast when it comes to giving his characters weight and emotion.

4- The Del Toro of it all. For someone who loves the fantastical, he's remarkably subtle. I trust he'll bring that here.

Never saw Blade 2.
Mimic... he was unhappy with that. I think he just released a director's cut, but he said there was a lot of top level tampering.

4- The Del Toro of it all. For someone who loves the fantastical, he's remarkably subtle. I trust he'll bring that here.
I find his Hollywood movies consistently flat and lifeless, lacking all of the style and beauty of his foreign films. The Hellboy movies would be the exception.

I wouldn't call Blade 2 flat and lifeless. Lacking beauty maybe but not lacking in the style and action department.

Some Blade fans even prefer it over the original.

The trailer was remarkably generic and underwhelming. I doubt the actual film will be like that - but for a Guillermo del Toro film - the robots, and the monster at the end, looked rather plain.

I appreciate the shot composition and saturated colors, though. Looks to be bucking the trend of recent blockbuster films that are so over reliant on teal and orange color grading.

This is how trailers used to be (and should be). Enough to make you want to know more whilst not spilling the entire movie and every action scene ala Prometheus. 

It's hardly complicated. Giant Robots vs Giant Monsters.

Del Toro has never been that great of writer when it comes to these big Hollywood types of films. I've read a draft of At the Mountains of Madness and it was pretty mediocre at best. And the two Hellboy movies he worked on were both pretty flat in the writing department too. He's better when he writes more personal stories like Pan's Labyrinth or something like The Devil's Backbone.

I feel Pacific Rim will be fun but nothing more than that.

The source material doesn't inherently make it shallow. That's a redundant excuse for people who don't want to challenge the concept.

Anyway, I'm not saying the movie will be bad or anything. I'm not even saying it will be shallow. I just didn't find the trailer to be anything worthwhile. Perhaps I had my expectations set too high. But then again, when you have John Knoll, Hal Hickel and ILM's best animators working on this film, I figured the robots would've at least looked a bit more... interesting.

How would you like to challenge the concept then? When your set up is as basic as "Dimensional portal brings giant monsters so we built giant robots" all that's left is trying to make the characters engaging, and if they can do that then great. Real Steel did a fantastic job with balancing the story and robot fighting, but at the end of the day, as much as I loved the film it was just Robot Rocky.

And on the subject of the robot designs, I rather like them. I guess it's just because I take a look at most Japanese anime mechs and think to myself about how goddamned ridiculous that shit is.

There's plenty of ways one can approach the source material. It's no more or less adaptable than what Christopher Nolan did with the Batman mythos. In the hands of the right creators anything is possible. So to assume that just because the concept is robot versus monsters, therefore making it inherently four-quadrant, that's about as simpleminded as one can get.

Also, again, Japanese mecha aren't inherently childish, over-the-top or impractical, either. In fact, if anything, the mecha in "Pacific Rim" are completely illogical as they stand at about 300+ feet tall - and not only would that be impractical for a planet with Earth's gravity - but the amount of energy resources it would require to even be allowed to move is damn near impossible. At least with the early Gundam series - and other series in the "Real Robot" genre - not only were the designs aesthetically pleasing, but they were also constructed with a respect to real world engineering.

Oh, and most Japanese mecha don't look any more childish than the disproportionate Chinese and Japanese mechs in "Pacific Rim." How exactly does a machine standing at about 80 meters manage to distribute weight evenly with three arms, a broad upper body and two bi-pedal legs? And take a look at the blueprints for Coyote Tango... that thing is f**king hideous. And not to mention the incredibly ugly, steampunk looking (impractical much?) Russian mecha. The only machine that looks even halfway decent is the Australian one... which is sorta funny seeing as it appears to be the most anime inspired of the bunch.

The Nolan Batman films were shit. The only good one was Dark Knight Rises and that's only because it had Bane being a total boss. Now I know that's an unpopular opinion but that's just how I feel. Nolan's Batman films are completely overrated.

Sorry dude I still think if you look at the majority of Japanese anime mechs they're pretty goddamned silly. Deathscythe Hell is one that comes to mind for having giant ass batwings on it. Now granted, the three armed mech and the Russian mech are stupid, but overall I like the Jaegers. I like the mech designs from this, you don't. I also tend to prefer Mechwarrior designs over anime mechs. You have your opinion I have mine.

How would you like to challenge the concept then? When your set up is as basic as "Dimensional portal brings giant monsters so we built giant robots" all that's left is trying to make the characters engaging, and if they can do that then great. Real Steel did a fantastic job with balancing the story and robot fighting, but at the end of the day, as much as I loved the film it was just Robot Rocky.

And on the subject of the robot designs, I rather like them. I guess it's just because I take a look at most Japanese anime mechs and think to myself about how goddamned ridiculous that shit is.

There's plenty of ways one can approach the source material. It's no more or less adaptable than what Christopher Nolan did with the Batman mythos. In the hands of the right creators anything is possible. So to assume that just because the concept is robot versus monsters, therefore making it inherently four-quadrant, that's about as simpleminded as one can get.

Also, again, Japanese mecha aren't inherently childish, over-the-top or impractical, either. In fact, if anything, the mecha in "Pacific Rim" are completely illogical as they stand at about 300+ feet tall - and not only would that be impractical for a planet with Earth's gravity - but the amount of energy resources it would require to even be allowed to move is damn near impossible. At least with the early Gundam series - and other series in the "Real Robot" genre - not only were the designs aesthetically pleasing, but they were also constructed with a respect to real world engineering.

Oh, and most Japanese mecha don't look any more childish than the disproportionate Chinese and Japanese mechs in "Pacific Rim." How exactly does a machine standing at about 80 meters manage to distribute weight evenly with three arms, a broad upper body and two bi-pedal legs? And take a look at the blueprints for Coyote Tango... that thing is f**king hideous. And not to mention the incredibly ugly, steampunk looking (impractical much?) Russian mecha. The only machine that looks even halfway decent is the Australian one... which is sorta funny seeing as it appears to be the most anime inspired of the bunch.

The Nolan Batman films were shit. The only good one was Dark Knight Rises and that's only because it had Bane being a total boss. Now I know that's an unpopular opinion but that's just how I feel. Nolan's Batman films are completely overrated.

Sorry dude I still think if you look at the majority of Japanese anime mechs they're pretty goddamned silly. Deathscythe Hell is one that comes to mind for having giant ass batwings on it. Now granted, the three armed mech and the Russian mech are stupid, but overall I like the Jaegers. I like the mech designs from this, you don't. I also tend to prefer Mechwarrior designs over anime mechs. You have your opinion I have mine.

Regardless of what you - and the minority of people who share the same outlook on Nolan's Batman series that you do - he still did what was supposed to be the impossible: he took a comic book character that is inherently made for kids and teenagers and he turned it into a trilogy primarily aimed at adults. And in that process, he managed to succeed: both thematically and aesthetically.

I'm not offended by what you think of anime mechs. I'm fine with your preference. However, you first complained about the robots from Japan being silly - and in your implication, being impractical - meanwhile, I just felt it was necessary to point out how impractical and nonfunctional the Jaegers are compared to most anime mechs. In fact, despite the Deathscythe having batwings, at least it's powered by a real energy source - not to mention it stands at a more practical height than something that is 300 feet f**king tall. At least there is a respect for physics - the design is for aesthetic and merchandise purposes - but at least the creators tried to maintain some sort of real world function.

Anyhoot, "Gundam Wing" probably isn't the most appropriate series to cite if you want to talk about realistic Japanese mechs. You may want to go back to the original "Mobile Suit Gundam" series, as well as the other UC timeline shows with "Zeta Gundam" and especially "Gundam: War in the Pocket" and "Gundam: The 08th MS Team": speaking of which, features an action sequence that is far more tactically realistic than anything that has come from the MechWarrior universe - that much I can assure you.

I'm sorry but..just no. You seem to really believe Gundams are more realistic than this don't you? That's..wow. Gundams are just as ridiculous as Pacific Rim. They fly around and have space battles but fighting giant monsters is going too far? If you like the designs better that's fine. But saying they respect physics is hilarious.

QuoteGenetically engineered dinosaurs. Which are still unrealistic. Movie doesn't really change that.

They are currently trying to genetically engineer extinct species in real life. Everyone's tolerence for the "unrealistic" is set at different levels. ###insert Arthur C Clarke quote ####

Having watched the trailer you can see when one of the Jaegers punches one of the beast's, the punch is propelled by rockets housed in the elbow. It's clear some thought has went into making the unbelievable at least somehow, if not incredibly unlikely and expensive, viable as an actual machine. Same with what looks to be boosters on the knee joints. As opposed to - "our jaegers run on a top secret nuclear core and 25 billion liters of hydraulic fluid..."

That's just a couple of examples. In the full length movie there could be a few scenes that further elaborate on how the Jaegers work from a mechanical sense.

What does it matter that it's 80 meters tall or whatever?? A machine is a machine.

Yes -  giant fricken Batmonkey's from another dimension is a stretch but I was specifically targeting the operation of the Jaegers.

Sure. But as they found out recently, DNA has a shelf life. No dinosaurs.

The entire point was one person said "The Jaegers are just as unrealistic as other mechs, which I don't like", and the defense was, "Watch the movie".

Which is stupid. It doesn't matter what lengths they go to make them seem realistic; they aren't, nor will they ever be. For people who find this a problem, watching the film's not going to help. For everyone else, let's just enjoy the damn film, yeah?

I always liked Evangelion's take, giant humanoid things with armor around them and a nuero plug where the pilot resides.  It explains the more fluid human like movements.

Even though I can look at a trailer and switch modes to what I expect from a film.  Giant fighting robots?  Not going to judge it with SCIENCE!  I do the same thing for SW movies.  I know they won't be realistic, so I don't judge them by hard scifi standards.

Some people just don't get it.

It doesn't matter how the film attempts to portray the Jaegers. The only way they become even scientifically feasible is if Earth has some how lost a f**kload of its gravity. Not to mention the fact that if robots like this were to ever be practical in any sense of the word, you'd have been better off setting the film in the far distant future on a smaller planet with much less gravity. This isn't theoretical - it's scientifically infallible.

Now, as for the uninformed guy who keeps challenging the impracticality of Gundam - well, impracticality compared to "Pacific Rim" - at least in the former, in the UC timeline, they at least built the machines to be no taller than say 59 to 65 feet tall - using a theoretical metal composite known as Gundanium Alloy - a composite that is currently comparable to graphen thanks to two Russian scientists who won a Nobel prize in 2010 due to their breakthroughs with the substance. Also, you have the nuclear propulsion rockets that NASA actually looked into BECAUSE OF Gundam: http://ansnuclearcafe.org/2012/07/09/nasas-roadmap-to-the-nuclear-thermal-rocket/ (http://ansnuclearcafe.org/2012/07/09/nasas-roadmap-to-the-nuclear-thermal-rocket/)

The discussion pertaining to mobile suits flying around in space is irrelevant because that's not what the argument is about. We're not veering off into a sub-discussion about a giant robot from the Gundam lore one day existing - we're discussing the practicality purposes compared to "Pacific Rim" after you scoffed at the purpose and aesthetic of Japanese mechs. I can say with absolute 100% scientific certainty that the world is a lot closer to building real life Gundams than they are real life Jaegers.

But unfortunately, judging from the trailer, about three or four of the robots look repulsively ugly. That prompted another user to take a shot at anime robots - some how claiming that a more "grounded" aesthetic with the "Pacific Rim" Jaegers some how makes them more practical - so I just decided to counter him with very solid points that for the most part, debunked the statements he was making. Regardless, I'm at least content with the look of Striker Eureka - which I've learned is the Australian mech - and ironically, one of the main reasons why it's the coolest looking mecha of the bunch is because it looks very similar to an anime mecha.

The American, Russian and Chinese mechas look ugly as hell. It's a surprise considering how visually gifted Guillermo del Toro is.

Aye aye skipper, steering thread back into friendly waters.

I don't know if this has been posted already but it seems they're already planning a sequel (http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/173911-pacific-rim-sequel-already-in-the-works). The fact they're even mentioning it is pretty exciting for me. People keep mentioning childhood like dreams coming true. I think thats pretty astute, these are things I could only dream about see on the big screen. I can't wait to watch these things with my son when he is old enough.

If I thought Robot Jox was OK when i was a teen (watched it several times on HBO) then this should blow my mind.

Oh God, it certainly was an argument because someone (who I won't name) was trying so hard to be desperately cerebral about plausibility in an implausible venue. But whatever, as Pred pointed out its time to move on.

I don't think we have seen the schematics for the old one. The others ones are in the thread somewhere. I have to say it reminds me a bit of Real Steel. Finding an old Robot that turns out to be a savior (of sorts). I'm perfectly fine. I loved Real Steel - I loved the element that the robot had it's own personality - but really that personality was there only if you wanted it to be, more or less. Hopefully they use something similar because it actually attaches you to the robot like a character would.

I don't think the new Godzilla comes out until 2014. So you could see this one first, but see the new Godzilla as your first Godzilla movie in theaters. Win-win.

And I thought Orga needed more screen time in Godzilla 2000. Wasted potential D:<

The film needs Mike Mignola.
It is unfortunate that the relationship Guilerme and Mike, got a little spoiled due to Universal studios and hellboy 2 ...

Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: Ryu on Jan 06, 2013, 12:08:51 AM
During the filming of hellboy 2 the universal studios did not like the return of Rasputin in ghost because they wanted nothing to do with the first, because it was made by Columbia Pictures. Second Mike did not like the, small differences from the comic to the film and that the film's success has begun to overshadow the comic. But the main reasons were that Guilerme wants to kill  ihellboy in Hellboy 3 as well as the limited success of the 2nd movie, which Universal did change his mind. That is why Hellboy 3 is hells development, even this two change their minds.
And recently, Mike denied Hellboy 3, despite this killing, the character and sent to hell in comics.
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: OmegaZilla on Jan 06, 2013, 12:14:20 AM
I didn't even know Mignola killed off the character in the comics.

It would have been nice to see a ghost of Rasputin in the second film. I guess that also explains why Sammael was not featured at all (when the mid-credits scene of the first film implied one or two survived).

Personally I am with Mignola in regards to the film. I wouldn't really want HellBoy to die. At all.

QuoteWhen the first trailer for Pacific Rim was unleashed last month, video game fans quickly recognized the voice of GlaDOS from the Valve video game Portal being used in the movie. Today, director Guillermo del Toro revealed that he got Valve's permission to use voice actress Ellen McLain for the trailer, but only as a nod to the game.

"I wanted very much to have her, because I'm a big Portal fan. But just as a wink. She's not cake-obsessed. She's not out to destroy humanity. I said, 'Look, there's no A.I. I'd rather have than GlaDOS.'"


However, the filmmaker said that the voice will be altered for the final movie.

"The filter we're using is slightly less GLaDOS. Slightly. The one in the trailer I wanted to be full-on GlaDOS."


If none of this makes little to no sense to you, don't worry. You're not alone. The use of glaDOS is for video game obsessives only.

You know something occurred to me. The premise of Pacific Rim isn't far off from a Heisei Godzilla movie. They were always building machines/robots to fight off Godzilla in those.

I didn't recognize a thing in the trailer from the script.

I'm kind of glad the script I read is outdated. It means the movie can still surprise me. And the script I read only had American, Japanese, and Peruvian Jaegers. Glad they added more. Putting the two pilots in the same space makes sense, visually at least. And giving Stacker Pentecost (Elba) the 'canceling apocalypse' line was a stroke of awesome.

Still, I hope some of my favorite moments made it to the final product. There was real heart in it, and I loved the world they set up and the reason for the monster invasion.

Post by: Dovahkiin on Jan 08, 2013, 09:50:10 PM
Alright, guys. Here is my analysis of all of the different Jaegers that have appeared in blueprints and the trailers. I am just going by what I see in the blueprints, the trailers and what I know of Physics. (Which the Jaegers are pretty much breaking anyway, but I'm talking in terms of speed or attack power.) The different ratings for the Jaegers will be out of 5.

Let's start with good ol' America, shall we?

Gipsy Danger

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.bleedingcool.net%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F%2F2012%2F11%2Fgipsy-danger-hq-600x844.jpg&hash=0bd8f19c8c88125d8ccc50e5fd820a64f4210394)

This American Jaeger seems to be the all-around type to me, specializing in speed more than anything else. In the trailers, we all saw how it was able to take a substantial amount of abuse after being thrown through a bridge, take a knee and come back out fighting again. The melee capability can also be spoken of highly for this jaeger, as it has plasma casters to use against different Kaiju to burn or cauterize. The turbine engine in it's chest seems to be a way to power the jaeger even more than it already is, perhaps resulting in massive bursts of strength and speed as a last resort, but making the Jaeger itself sustain collateral damage. The description on the blueprint is scratched out for some reason, so there's no way to tell for sure. The strength of this Jaeger can also be commended, due to it's massive rocket-powered punch.

Speed: 3.5
Strength:3.5
Agility: 3
Durability: 3
Melee Capability: 3.5

Cherno Alpha

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.bleedingcool.net%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F%2F2012%2F11%2Fjaeger-cherno-alpha-600x844.jpg&hash=3055ad40c574a6aedd6a6a9e2a2f49879cd792be)

The Russian Jaeger, Cherno Alpha most certainly seems to be a juggernaut. It's massive appendages look to be capable of dealing heavy bodily damage to Kaiju. We all saw the mighty double-fisted slam it gave to that Kaiju in the newest trailer. This raw power is also accentuated with the Jaeger's ability to seemingly make different melee weapons in it's hands, (From what I can see in the blueprint. I don't read Russian.) such as maces and morning stars covered in spikes. A weakness of this Jaeger, however, seems to be speed and agility. This jaeger will most likely be dealing a lot of melee damage, but taking many hits from swifter Kaiju.

Speed: 1.5
Strength: 5
Agility: 1.5
Durability: 4
Melee Capability: 5

Striker Eureka

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pacificrim-movie.net%2Fmedia%2Fstriker_eureka_jaeger_pacificrim.jpg&hash=eae857c1c151d3763f43a8703f88cc46f97f7ff7)

This sleek, Australian Jaeger is my favorite after Gipsy Danger and Cherno Alpha. It looks to be aerodynamically made to support speed above all else. It's arm blades offer an interesting melee advantage. This coupled with the T-16 "Angel Wings" on it's back and it's 4.211 "Brass Knuckles" make for an extremely interesting-looking combination of melee attacks and speed. This jaeger is noticeably..."skinnier" than some of the others, however, so it most likely doesn't have much in the way of strength or durability. However, the missle launchers in it's chest could be very effective for keeping a threat at bay so it can close it for a devastating series of melee attacks.

Speed: 5
Strength:2
Agility: 4
Durability: 2
Melee Capability: 5

Crimson Typhoon

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pacificrim-movie.net%2Fmedia%2Fpacificrim_movie_jaeger_china_crimson_typhoon.jpg&hash=d6e8112eb07aa7d6f66f6db922a8f03771a4f1b3)

The Chinese Jaeger doesn't seem to posess much durability, but it's massive right arms seems to be some sort of grabbing, twisting appendage. An effective method of combat could be to hold a Kaiju back with it's big arm and pepper it with smaller blows with it's two other, smaller arms before finally twisting off a large chunk of flesh. Honestly, though, that seems to be the only real redeeming quality of this Jaeger. It doesn't seem too heavily armored and the huge arm seems cumbersome. If I had to pick a Jaeger, I would not pick this one.

Speed:3.5
Strength: 2.5
Agility: 2
Durability: 2.5
Melee Capability: 3.5

Coyote Tango

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pacificrim-movie.net%2Fmedia%2Fpacificrim_jaeger_coyote_tango.jpg&hash=53955fba730973d53fd6419f149f72a96b9d068f)

The Japanese Jaeger seems to be the type for (forgive me) martial arts. A sleek, thin frame, coupled with the jet thrusters (I think that's what they are) on it's back make for agility and mobility on the battlefield, very much similar to Striker Eureka. However, this Jaeger seemingly lacks the melee weapons that the Australian Jaeger is armed with. This also looks to be the smallest Jaeger, making it a harder target for Kaiju to get ahold of then say, Cherno Alpha or Gypsy Danger.

Speed: 3.5
Strength: 2
Agility: 5
Durability: 2.5
Melee Capability: 4

Alright. There is my analysis. So...yeah.

I do remember reading that somewhere, but remember, Gipsy Danger is the Jaeger that does the best with those two pilots. And I'm not very sure how its going to actually go in the movie, but in The trailer, Gipsy Danger seems to be kicking a lot of Kaiju tail.

Definitely would be the best Asylum movie that SyFy will put up that's for sure.

It'll probably end up being, like.... I don't know, something incredibly stupid, like giant sharks or something, not aliens.  :laugh:

Play this.

It's basically every type of monster or giant mech movie in a free-for-all against eachother. The gameplay is really cool and each monster has a really distinctive playstyle. Oh, and two-player versus with additional bots is one of the funnest things I've ever played.

This thing was the so f**king awesome. What I always used to do with my brother is to have both of playing against one enemy. My brother (and vice versa) would stand as far away as possible in the level that is a city, I forget what its called. And just watch the other fight against the CPU. You get this sense of pure f**king destruction as you see both characters being thrown across buidlings, smashing each other with all sorts of things...it's f**king amazing to see that in action from a distance.

During the filming of hellboy 2 the universal studios did not like the return of Rasputin in ghost because they wanted nothing to do with the first, because it was made by Columbia Pictures. Second Mike did not like the, small differences from the comic to the film and that the film's success has begun to overshadow the comic. But the main reasons were that Guilerme wants to kill  ihellboy in Hellboy 3 as well as the limited success of the 2nd movie, which Universal did change his mind. That is why Hellboy 3 is hells development, even this two change their minds.
And recently, Mike denied Hellboy 3, despite this killing, the character and sent to hell in comics.

If what del Toro writes in the Art of Hellboy II is true there was supposed to be an ending scene with Rasputin and Kroenen, but there wasn't enough time and money to do it.

As the creator of the comics Mignola did object to a few things. The Angel of Death was written as the Baba Yaga, but Mignola felt you had to be true to her Russian origins.

Also, while he approved of Johann, when designing the suit became a problem del Toro thought about swapping him with Lobster Johnson and Mignola said no. There are also other small things about the Elemental originally being a giant and Mignola just saying make the beanstalk itself the monster.

I don't think either of them are opposed to Hellboy III. It has more to do with Ron Perlman getting into the makeup again, and recently he said he'd do it. Now it's up to the studio to accept the story, which doesn't have a traditional happy ending due to Hellboy accepting his destiny.

Del Toro talks HBIII here

Why do the extradimensional creatures really need to invade our own planet before jumping from their dying universe? There are tons of habitable planets in this universe... why not just move to one of those.. and leave us alone? You can create a whole universe to accomodate you.. but you cant go to somewhere else that doesnt have dangerous lifeforms (us)? That's a bit silly from the script's part.. :laugh:

This script is Beacham's first spec script, I can imagine much of it has changed if you read this trailer breakdown it points out some location and jäeger changes

http://www.pacificrimmovie.net/news/pacific-rim-trailer-breakdown/ (http://www.pacificrimmovie.net/news/pacific-rim-trailer-breakdown/)

You'll notice that many of the locations and even small details have changed like the jäeger mako pilots is only single piloted as opposed to having the standard dual pilots

I think the romantic sub plot may have undergone some major changes especially regarding the antrobus bros love triangle.

I think it's going to be more a straight forward story which is a tad underwhelming but it's a Hollywood blockbuster wat do.

Agreed. And the helmet in this definitely takes inspiration from the Prometheus helmet, with the yellow inner-lights (and same layout no less).

I gotta say, the only real thing that bugged me in the script was that the conflict between Mako and Raleigh was that it ended so early. Talk about a great set up! Two people who both suffered serious losses (one recently) must not only work together, but become so close that they can share a mind, all while not speaking the same language. Great conflict! It should have resolved in act 3, not the midpoint.

here's a review that exposes some more changes to the script...... urg sounds a little bit weaker... that's not cool.


Spoiler
was at the Burbank 16 Saturday afternoon. Call me El Prof. Also, I was a little older than many in the audience, so you might want to take my review with a micron of sodium chloride...


First, I love Del Torro's films. PAN'S LABYRINTH is in my top 10 films of all time, and the first Hellboy movie was stylish, quirky and fun. Same with MIMIC and THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE. Plus, I'm a huge daikaiju fan. The Gamera trilogy of the 1990's set the benchmark for all kaiju films.

SPOILERS:

To refresh, a kaiju is a giant monster, and a jaeger is a giant robot with two human pilots operating it in tandem.

PACIFIC RIM is a phenomenal concept looking for a story. I was actually bored at times, which reminds me of something I read somewhere long ago, that giant monster movies are like porn... its hard to come up with something interesting between monster scenes (sex scenes for porn).

The same problem exists in PACIFIC RIM, which between monster scenes focuses on the relationships between the robot jockies, how they train, their personal demons, etc. But the lack of originality in the character relationships was tedious and deflating. The Australian father/son conflict ("You were never around for me when I was growing up!"), the young, hot, tough, skilled-at-martial arts Asian girl who has issues that stem from her parents being killed by a kaiju when she was six character, the tough-as-nails commander who has a secret, and the handsome zero-body-fat hero who loses his brother in an early battle come straight out of the Movie Magic Screenwriter bin of stock characters. None of them are interesting, sadly, and that's a shame. It didn't have to be that way. None of them really change, which is a dramatic necessity (the Asian girl does actually come to grips with her issues, but we never see really how or why. It just happens)

I think, too, that there are some painfully obvious issues of logic. The Jaeger program is going to be shut down because its no longer effective (the kaiju are getting bigger and stronger and defeating the jaegers)  and the leaders of the world are building a containment wall around the whole Pacific Ocean... so what, the kaiju can run free? Really? Just as illogically, a scene showing a kaiju break through one of the completed walls in less than a half hour proved that their solution won't work. Yet we never see the world leaders again saying, "Okay, our idea won't work. What else can we do?" In fact, aside from the opening summary of how this whole thing started, which was excellently done, we never really see the general population at risk of kaiju attack. What is the world doing while the jaeger's and their pilots fight off kaiju attacks? The honest answer is, I don't know. Perhaps people in Cleveland or New York or Miami, far away from the Pacific Ocean, are watching reruns of "Three's Company" and ordering-out Chinese food. Regardless, I never got a sense that anyone other than the department of kaiju defense and the jaeger pilots cared much about the kaiju problem.

As much as I love Ron Perlman, too, I found his character's existence ludicrous. He gets the rights to the dead kaiju, so that he and his team of misfits can harvest the organs and bones and sell them? That Idrus Elba's non-politician, grunt-like character "gave him the rights" to handle such an operation? No way, no how. The fact that a character such as this exists shows that the rest of the world is disengaged with the kaiju problem (wouldn't there be some special department to study the dead kaiju? Perhaps to create a biological weapon?) Apparently, the world, again, doesn't seem to be too concerned about the kaiju.

The story such as it is is so rushed that the important moments are given scant screen time, while the dull moments (the aformentioned unoriginal character conflicts) are given center stage. Case in point, the two scientists, who were very entertaining, realize that the plan to close the portal in the ocean floor with a nuke won't work, but come up with a solution within, I'd say, 20 seconds. No drama, no conflict, no real sacrifice to get this information.

Like I said, I love kaiju movies. I've seen every Japanese monster movie numerous times, and know the genre. But one thing that bothered me in PACIFIC RIM was the kaiju themselves. Too many of them looked similar, with the "unfolding flower petal head" ala the graboids from TREMORS, or even the sandworms in DUNE. I understand that a cohesive design aesthetic was a choice, but I think it took away from their uniqueness. That said, I loved the gorilla-like kaiju.

The good in the film stems mostly from its technical aspects, which I find myself iterating too often nowadays. The sound was amazing, although a bit loud (probably because it had not been completely mixed yet), the music was well-done, if not unremarkable, and the production design is exactly what one would expect in a multi-million dollar Hollywood summer blockbuster. The jaegers themselves were awesome, although I'm still wondering why they take two pilots to operate... but okay. I would like to have heard more variation in the the kaiju roars, which were loud and intense. Godzilla, Rodan, Gamera, even the gargantuas Sanda and Gaila, all had unique screeches and roars. These kaiju seemed to all have the same roar. Too, some of the CGI effects were not completed; some were even still in their animatic stage. But the ones that were completed were simply breathtaking. The best scene in the entire movie is also fairly short... its the scene shown in the trailer of the kaiju attacking the Golden Gate Bridge. Had there been more scenes like this in the movie, with real people in real danger, perhaps it would have been more emotionally engaging.

Finally, I enjoyed the homages to some of the Japanese monster movies. The kaiju flying the jaeger into the stratosphere was a great tip-of-the-hat to the same scene in GAMERA: GUARDIAN OF THE UNIVERSE. There were others, too, and they will make the daikaiju lovers grin.

PACIFIC RIM is an entertaining but flawed film, and like so many other films of their ilk, would have benefited from better writing. I will see it again to see the finished effects, and to see if anything changes after the Burbank screening. Unfortunately, I heard some pretty negative comments from some of the audience, and when the lights came up, there were grumblings and not a lot of clapping.

I'm hoping Frank Darabont does not make the same mistakes with GODZILLA that PACIFIC RIM made.

I loved the script. I hope the final version kept most of the awesome stuff in and ditched some clichéd lines of dialogue, while also making the ending feel less rushed and abrupt. Judging from the trailer alone, you can tell the script has undergone severe changes, so let's just pray the final version is as good as the one we read or better... :P

Regardless, I never got a sense that anyone other than the department of kaiju defense and the jaeger pilots cared much about the kaiju problem.

As much as I love Ron Perlman, too, I found his character's existence ludicrous. He gets the rights to the dead kaiju, so that he and his team of misfits can harvest the organs and bones and sell them? That Idrus Elba's non-politician, grunt-like character "gave him the rights" to handle such an operation? No way, no how. The fact that a character such as this exists shows that the rest of the world is disengaged with the kaiju problem (wouldn't there be some special department to study the dead kaiju? Perhaps to create a biological weapon?) Apparently, the world, again, doesn't seem to be too concerned about the kaiju.

The story such as it is is so rushed that the important moments are given scant screen time, while the dull moments (the aformentioned unoriginal character conflicts) are given center stage. Case in point, the two scientists, who were very entertaining, realize that the plan to close the portal in the ocean floor with a nuke won't work, but come up with a solution within, I'd say, 20 seconds. No drama, no conflict, no real sacrifice to get this information.

Like I said, I love kaiju movies. I've seen every Japanese monster movie numerous times, and know the genre. But one thing that bothered me in PACIFIC RIM was the kaiju themselves. Too many of them looked similar, with the "unfolding flower petal head" ala the graboids from TREMORS, or even the sandworms in DUNE. I understand that a cohesive design aesthetic was a choice, but I think it took away from their uniqueness. That said, I loved the gorilla-like kaiju.

The good in the film stems mostly from its technical aspects, which I find myself iterating too often nowadays. The sound was amazing, although a bit loud (probably because it had not been completely mixed yet), the music was well-done, if not unremarkable, and the production design is exactly what one would expect in a multi-million dollar Hollywood summer blockbuster. The jaegers themselves were awesome, although I'm still wondering why they take two pilots to operate... but okay. I would like to have heard more variation in the the kaiju roars, which were loud and intense. Godzilla, Rodan, Gamera, even the gargantuas Sanda and Gaila, all had unique screeches and roars. These kaiju seemed to all have the same roar. Too, some of the CGI effects were not completed; some were even still in their animatic stage. But the ones that were completed were simply breathtaking. The best scene in the entire movie is also fairly short... its the scene shown in the trailer of the kaiju attacking the Golden Gate Bridge. Had there been more scenes like this in the movie, with real people in real danger, perhaps it would have been more emotionally engaging.

Finally, I enjoyed the homages to some of the Japanese monster movies. The kaiju flying the jaeger into the stratosphere was a great tip-of-the-hat to the same scene in GAMERA: GUARDIAN OF THE UNIVERSE. There were others, too, and they will make the daikaiju lovers grin.

PACIFIC RIM is an entertaining but flawed film, and like so many other films of their ilk, would have benefited from better writing. I will see it again to see the finished effects, and to see if anything changes after the Burbank screening. Unfortunately, I heard some pretty negative comments from some of the audience, and when the lights came up, there were grumblings and not a lot of clapping.

I'm hoping Frank Darabont does not make the same mistakes with GODZILLA that PACIFIC RIM made.

His review makes him sound like he would hate the original script for it's use of tropes as well. No Flick and no Duc and no Kaori.. mmmkay :/ Suddenly the movie sounds much less interesting... :/

God damn Del Toro, dont mess this up.

Because I'm beginning to suspect that is the case.

I don't even remember any news that it had been leaked or released or whatever.

here's a review that exposes some more changes to the script...... urg sounds a little bit weaker... that's not cool.


Spoiler
was at the Burbank 16 Saturday afternoon. Call me El Prof. Also, I was a little older than many in the audience, so you might want to take my review with a micron of sodium chloride...


First, I love Del Torro's films. PAN'S LABYRINTH is in my top 10 films of all time, and the first Hellboy movie was stylish, quirky and fun. Same with MIMIC and THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE. Plus, I'm a huge daikaiju fan. The Gamera trilogy of the 1990's set the benchmark for all kaiju films.

SPOILERS:

To refresh, a kaiju is a giant monster, and a jaeger is a giant robot with two human pilots operating it in tandem.

PACIFIC RIM is a phenomenal concept looking for a story. I was actually bored at times, which reminds me of something I read somewhere long ago, that giant monster movies are like porn... its hard to come up with something interesting between monster scenes (sex scenes for porn).

The same problem exists in PACIFIC RIM, which between monster scenes focuses on the relationships between the robot jockies, how they train, their personal demons, etc. But the lack of originality in the character relationships was tedious and deflating. The Australian father/son conflict ("You were never around for me when I was growing up!"), the young, hot, tough, skilled-at-martial arts Asian girl who has issues that stem from her parents being killed by a kaiju when she was six character, the tough-as-nails commander who has a secret, and the handsome zero-body-fat hero who loses his brother in an early battle come straight out of the Movie Magic Screenwriter bin of stock characters. None of them are interesting, sadly, and that's a shame. It didn't have to be that way. None of them really change, which is a dramatic necessity (the Asian girl does actually come to grips with her issues, but we never see really how or why. It just happens)

I think, too, that there are some painfully obvious issues of logic. The Jaeger program is going to be shut down because its no longer effective (the kaiju are getting bigger and stronger and defeating the jaegers)  and the leaders of the world are building a containment wall around the whole Pacific Ocean... so what, the kaiju can run free? Really? Just as illogically, a scene showing a kaiju break through one of the completed walls in less than a half hour proved that their solution won't work. Yet we never see the world leaders again saying, "Okay, our idea won't work. What else can we do?" In fact, aside from the opening summary of how this whole thing started, which was excellently done, we never really see the general population at risk of kaiju attack. What is the world doing while the jaeger's and their pilots fight off kaiju attacks? The honest answer is, I don't know. Perhaps people in Cleveland or New York or Miami, far away from the Pacific Ocean, are watching reruns of "Three's Company" and ordering-out Chinese food. Regardless, I never got a sense that anyone other than the department of kaiju defense and the jaeger pilots cared much about the kaiju problem.

Yap. There was a great scene where New and Flick had to run from the monster attack... Maybe the production company were scared of making the film too "intense and scary" for young kids? This is a pg-13 flick after all.

In other news. Del Toro said that there were no "montage scenes" in the film... so the Siouxsie and the Banshees scene didnt make it onto the film, i think :P

If those pictures above are the extent of them, I'd actually agree with that. Only partly interesting one is the robot with four arms - for that reason, though, they're off-set by the chunkiness of the torso. And one of the monsters which looks like it might have crocodile-like jaws, although, that, in turn, is off-set by the relatively generic, humanoid-looking nature of the rest of it.

Hope they've got something arachnid-like and Lovecraftian in store. I don't feel like I'm looking at anything I've never seen hundreds of times before, so far. Hope I do, though.

Completely different "head-blade" or whatever. The one in this art is going straight, while the other in the trailer has a more axe-like look to it.

I'm thinking that's the same one.

The axe-headed one is seen attacking the Golden Gate bridge near the beginning. A total of three different Kaiju are seen in the trailer; two of which are in the water/rain fight scene.

It has giant monsters and robots fighting eachother. Take that as you will.

Honestly, I prefer not to label movies like that. If its good, then good. If not, then too bad. I could care less if its 'nerdy'.

No way. The tender way the robots caress the monsters tells a story of love and compassion despite being worlds apart and being expected to hate each other. It's a modern day Romeo and Juliet, but with a compelling narrative that Shakespeare himself would be envious of.

You can't derive a moral about scripts from a circumstance without a script, like the godzilla teaser. That makes assumptions.

Quote"PACIFIC RIM is an entertaining but flawed film, and like so many other films of their ilk, would have benefited from better writing. I will see it again to see the finished effects, and to see if anything changes after the Burbank screening. Unfortunately, I heard some pretty negative comments from some of the audience, and when the lights came up, there were grumblings and not a lot of clapping."

As of right now, out of all the "reviews" that came about following the film's screening, this has been the most constructively insightful write-up so far. It also happens to come from a Kaiju enthusiast, whose references seem to back up his criticisms. I know a lot of fanatics will dismiss this guy's thoughts and fall back onto the whole "WELL YOU HAVE TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE DEMOGRAPHIC THIS FILM WAS MADE FOR DURR" shtick, but that won't work on people like myself - the general audience - who objectively think this movie looks flat and uninspired. I don't like the fact that Guillermo has appeared to take what should be an energetic and adrenaline rush of a concept in giant robots and giant monsters, and turning it into a boring and lifeless film.

I understand there were a lot of positive reactions following the screening, but guess what? There were tons of positive reactions following "The Green Lantern" screening as well (here are the sources in case you don't believe me: http://www.slashfilm.com/early-buzz-screening-green-lantern-earns-positive-praise/ (http://www.slashfilm.com/early-buzz-screening-green-lantern-earns-positive-praise/) & http://screenrant.com/green-lantern-reviews-previews-sandy-118704/ (http://screenrant.com/green-lantern-reviews-previews-sandy-118704/)) - and I hate to be the guy to point this out - but similar to "The Green Lantern" screenings, it appears that only the fanboys/fanatic crowd lauded it with great praise.

I'm sorry, but I just can't get into this movie. It looks so underwhelming, which is a shame when you consider Guillermo's knack for great visuals and world building.

It looks like the only summer movies really worth getting excited for are "Elysium", "Iron Man 3" and "Man of Steel".

I liked the story in the script... a lot of tropes, sure. but it was very enjoyable throughout.

It's the changes between script to the film that make me a bit nervous.

And the negative early reviews arent helping :P

Pretty much this, but influenced by

Steven Spielberg said "Transformers 2" was awesome! He must be right! ::)

The most honest, sincere and objective review so far practically blasted the film for being the shallow and boring film that the trailers make it out to be.

LOL... he was an executive producer who hardly contributed to the film at all. He didn't have to say anything about the movie and it still would've grossed a billion dollars... just like the third film did.  ::)

The excuses a lot of you are trying to come up with to compensate for the fact that "Pacific Rim" may very well suck is hilarious. The ironic thing is, I'm actually a fan of del Toro's. Well, allow me to revise that... I'm a fan of del Toro's when he gets to work on films where there aren't a hundred different creative opinions involved. His best films are his more esoteric ones I.E. "Pan's Labyrinth", "The Devil's Backbone", "Cronos" etc. But when it comes to stuff like "Hellboy" and "Blade", and now what appears to be "Pacific Rim", he has to simplify everything in order for it to meet the appeal of a four quadrant audience.

Look, if you all want to continue buying into this movie by all means go ahead. I'm not one for trying to tell people what they like. I'm just saying that the most articulate and constructive review came from someone who had no biased agenda one way or the other. He even mentions how a lot of crowd members seemed disgruntled and irritated more than entertained. I can buy it considering there wasn't a single mention of applause or a standing ovation following the film's ending. At best, this film appears to be a middle-of-the-road, cookie cutter blockbuster that will fill the appetites of teenagers for a few weeks - but in retrospect - they'll realize the film did nothing to push the boundary of its genre.

As executive producer, he footed the bill. You don't pay for a movie and then trash it before it comes out. And if you're smart, you contribute to the advertising by taking advantage of your name and using it to spread the word that the movie you paid for is great. Even if it's not.

Anyway, this might well suck. I hope it doesn't, and I have reason to think it doesn't. The director's solid (I personally loved the Hellboy movies, though I didn't see Blade 2.) The script that I read was solid, and I know it was heavily revised, but it looks like the core is still there. The designs are imaginative, and the visuals in the trailer are coherent and stylistic. And I trust Rian Johnson's taste, because I have loved everything he's put out, in regards to his movies and his advice on filmmaking. So I hope it's good.

But you're right, it might not be. I'm not going to dismiss it out of hand just yet, as you seem to have already, but I'm prepared for the possibility that the movie won't be good.

I honestly think a lot will ride on the music. 'Jurassic Park' and 'Independence Day' can both be very superficial and typically Hollywood in a lot of places, but the soundtracks elevated them into being ferociously entertaining. Not only for their time, but honestly, they're still fun to watch.

On the other hand, I've not seen anything terribly inventive about this one. If the monsters were more Lovecraftian and robots less predictably humanoid, it would appeal more to my old teenage self, but I never went for toys like that because they seemed... I don't know... Uninspired.

So, I say the score needs to be a classic. Film music can elevate so much when it is. If it's kind of generic, it won't matter how many times we see giant robots punching Godzilla-alikes in the face.

Incidentally, story-wise, if anyone's read the script, is there an explanation for why we don't just treat the things like giant pests and use biological/chemical weapons on them? Or even just fire? When an enemy's purely organic, they're highly vulnerable.

I think a lot lies on score, but more lies on structure. A weak and cliche story can work if the script is structured tightly. If the plot beats are all in place, it will at least feel like a movie. Del Toro is good with that. As for the story itself, I hope they keep the heart of the script I read, the two pilots who have to work together. If they keep that, they'll have a classic on their hands.

As for your question,
Spoiler
these monsters are huge and hit coastal cities really fast, just moments after appearing. You don't want to dump kaiju poison all over populated areas every single time.

Most missiles dont do shit to them... and given their thick hide, fire even less so. + Every enemy in the script is a bit different. Some are lovecraftian with lots of tentacles, some are turtle like, some are lizard like, crustacean etc... Some even absorb energy from hits,.. and they are keen to give it back to you. I doubt a single biological weapon would be an effective catch-all weapon against all these different creatures.

+ yeah. they tend to attack highly populated areas.
Spoiler
they are terror weapons for an extra dimensional menace

Dropping kaiju poison there would be a big no-no.

And given the speed that they keep pouring out of the pacific portal, the entire pacific ocean would have been poisoned with bio-weapons in no time.

Most of them seem to at least have huge mouths. No reason, especially with something of that side, they couldn't have something administered directly into their system, even if only through a small vapour cloud. :)

If they're devastating entire cities, the human population sounds like it's pretty much beyond saving, anyway.

If there are some which are crustacean-like and have tendrils and such, that'd be awesome. I liked the look of the thing which chased Kirk around in the 'Star Trek' film, not too long ago.

In the script. they sometimes drop a liquid into the Kaiju's.

Engine Coolant, if i remember well. It freezes and kills the Kaiju's. But it f**ks the Jaeger's.. wich sucks balls if they still have 1 or 2 kaiju's to fight in the battle.

Getting away from the obvious comparisons (which I'm assuming have been made in the prior dozens of pages) to Neon Genesis Evangelion...I'd say the main issue here is the same thing that ruined Transformers--over-detail of the CGI.

Anyone ever see Transformers on the big screen? I saw the first one--and only the first one--in the theaters. And when those robots are up close and rolling around in a battle, you almost can't follow the action. Too much detail.

That's on the special effects side of things. I'm assuming that with Del Toro aboard, it will at least be better written than Bay's crap is.

I thought the robots were amazingly well done in the Transformers films. It was the shakeycam and excessive zooms (or, in the case of the third film, my wandering eyes) that sometimes made the fight scenes hard to follow.

Anyways, the robot suits in this film don't look nearly as complex as the Transformers, anyways.

I saw the first and third TF movies in theaters. The only real problem I had with the overcomplex robots was in telling them apart as they fought. I don't anticipate robots fighting each other in PR, so that's probably not going to be an issue.

There are other things TF did wrong that we can only hope PR does right. For instance, telling a coherent story, and showing coherent fight scenes.

Personally I had a easy time identifying the robots form the Transformers movies, mostly because well I'm a major TF Fan.

But I don't really think it's fair comparing Pacific Rim to Transformers. It's like comparing Mr. Del Toro to Michael Bay...Ok bad analogy.

QuoteSo. I just saw the nearly-finished PACIFIC RIM. I know I'm prone to hyperbolic statements...but believe me...PACIFIC RIM is STUNNING.

QuoteBtw, Pacific Rim was pretty awesome. It was also awesome cause it was free. And it was an early screening.

QuotePacific rim was the shiiiit. You can't go wrong with giant mecha battles

Yeah...imma go ahead and reserve judgement for the actual movie critics, because this is similar to public response for the Transformers movies. But atleast it's something of a good sign.

This. To add, some of the films he has co-produced (not directed), proved to be pretty good as well. The guy is synonymous with quality film making. I hope Universal will kick themselves in the face when they see this, after cancelling Del Toro's At The Mountains Of Madness project.

God, I want him to make that film and if Pacific Rim gets him to do that indirectly, I'm all for it. :)

Despite all the studio interference, I do think Mimic is one of the better 90s creature features... del Toro's imprint is still dominant.

You could sense del Toro all over Mimic, sure.

But it still sucked.


But I do agree: del Toro > Michael Bay all day any day.

Green Lantern is hideously underrated. I think because Thor came out around the same time, and Thor was a better movie overall. But Green Lantern wasn't too far behind it.

Well it helps MGS that they have arguably the greatest mechanical designer of our generation. It's not like Yoji Shinkawas are a dime a dozen, you know?

"Pacific Rim" does feature some input from legends like Oscar Chichoni, though.

Anyway, I dig the poster - but here are some more reactions from the screening that are far more objective than the hyperbolic nonsense that the GL fan was babbling: http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/nailbiter111/news/?a=76370 (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/nailbiter111/news/?a=76370)

So basically, it's all action and spectacle but little to no time spent on writing up interesting characters or plot devices. Wow, riveting stuff!

I'm not saying this movie isn't going to be good or anything, but remember when people were proclaiming this would be a gamechanger of sorts? Yeah, not happening. At best, it's standard blockbuster fluff. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but considering we have enough of that already, I'm disappointed that Guillermo didn't try to make this something more meaningful.

Eh, I'll take Rian Johnson's word on the film.

Rian Johnson isn't exactly the world's greatest director either, dude. Yeah, he made "Looper", but he also made "Brick" and "The Brothers Bloom", the latter of which was straight up awful.

I'm pretty sure a live-action Transformers film could be a fantastic sci-fi movie if a decent director was put behind it. Transformers has a really rich mythos that deserves to be explored.

This.


I'm not a huge TF fan (save for the live action movies, the WFC games, and what I've seen of Prime as I have made it known beforehand) but one of my friends is and has shown me some stuff which only solidifies that statement right there.

It did make sense to have more robots as time progressed, most series I remember had 4-5 autobots and 4-5 decepticons/predacons at first, only for their number to progressively increase as episodes went by.

I think the story for the second one was pretty damn cool, it just needed a better writer and general direction (and less toilet humor). Third one instead suffers from brutal lack of pay-off and a not-exactly bright plot (Megatron sure has complicated plans).

I guess I should've specified with more bots, that get no development whatsoever except for the one's already featured in the previous film. :P

Because Australia is the most dangerous place to live on Earth doesn't mean it needs to have a powerful robot del Toro... -_-

I just kind of figured they implemented a kangaroo's boxing skills into it, ya'know?

I swear, if it transforms into the shape of any one of Australia's monstrous spiders imma have nightmares for life.

I doubt she can, she can never explain herself fully when I ask for a description of whatever it is she saw on any given day. I'll ask when she gets back home, hopefully she can actually tell me more. All I can say is that she thought it was awesome, and she wasn't excited for it when the first trailer came out, so I guess that says something.

Post by: RazorSlash on Mar 31, 2013, 06:27:38 PM
Okay, I'm going to be completely honest-
That description had me more worried than excited.
In about a 2 hour time span, the film has to introduce not only the set-up of the world of the film, but 9 individual Jaegers, 12 individual Kaiju, and now a battle in space.

I know I probably shouldn't feel like this, but this is starting to worry me, as I feel like this is coming together as a clusterf**k more than anything.
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: Nightmare Asylum on Mar 31, 2013, 06:30:23 PM
I doubt every Jaeger and Kaiju are going to be presented as main 'characters'; some of them will undoubtedly be more prominently featured than others, and they will all have their own roles to play so as to not compete for screen time. Also, has a run time been confirmed? Though you're probably about right with the two hour guess.

Anyways, I have complete faith in Del Toro that he is going to do justice to this concept.

Could use less fire and explosions on the street and it would have been better if the cars were rendered/painted as well, but aside from that, I think it sells what the movie is quite effectively. Really like the pose and the angle.

the rewrites that this has gone through under Del Toro's influence seem to have stripped some of the first draft's charm and driven it straight into cliché'd blockbuster territory... but i hope i'm wrong. :P

At the risk of being annoying I would like to point out that the show I do The Toho Kingdom Podcast we have an entire episode dedicated to all the Gamera film series! Go vist the thread with the same name for more info!

Isn't it a general concensus among fans that the 90 trilogy was the best of the Gamera series? It is for me. How many here have the Blu Ray boxset?

I'd like to invite you all to use the set as well to show how awesome this movie will be! I remember there being a suggestion of us doing this, so lets do this now!

Coyote Tango

There are 2 pilot per JAeger... so maybe we could allow other people to have the Jaeger's as well. :P

Crimson Typhoon has 3 pilots btw...

If we went with that... it would leave room for

Another Gipsy Danger
Another Cherno Alpha
3 Crimson Typhoon's
2 Coyote Tango
Another Striker Eureka

(And we should have numbers on the sigs to distinguish the pilots :P I'll be Cherno Alpha 1) :P

3 Crimson Typhoon's
2 Coyote Tango
Another Striker Eureka

:P

(And we should have numbers on the sigs to distinguish the pilots :P I'll be Cherno Alpha 1) :P

I like that, save for the number thing.

What's a Jaegar and a Kaiju?
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: OmegaZilla on Apr 30, 2013, 03:11:26 PM
A robot and a Monster respectively. Within the context of the film.

Jaeger is german for 'Hunter' and Kaiju is japanese for 'mysterious monster'.

No, it means Jax grows a pair culminates Spiral Energy and wrecks the shit out of the final Kaiju that appears in the sequel.

Fair enough.

I have to say that IMHO the Transformers robots were goddamn fugly. The designs themselves were mostly average to mediocre, with a few diamonds in the rough. But once they got moving... it wasn't that I couldn't follow them or it confused me, it was just unpleasant to look at.
There is a thing called "too much unnecessary detail" and, once again IMHO, Transformers crossed that line most of the time. As an artist myself, I feel there's a really fine line between intricate, detailed design and busy, over-design. :-\

So you know how people are using the badge avatar if they are a pilot, well how about this if you are a kaiju? Also could someone avatar size this pic for me?(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi129.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fp217%2Fgdeo%2Fkaiwarn_zps4f5fab69.jpg&hash=a549a0de4ad6ff4aa7945280289d5b479b4a0361)
And for your kaiju of choice just use a good screenshot. So again could someone signature size this image(crop out cars to get the sig height) and add Trespasser in text on the pic?(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.moviefleece.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2013%2F04%2FPacific-Rim-Con-Footage-HD-1173-1024x576.jpg&hash=7d2b42b138323f504e12fac9f9e5b5d9cab751f5)

Leatherback has a Rancor feel to him. And if this was the same monster who leaped up out of the sea and onto the back of the Robot, it looks like they used a Gorilla for motion reference.

Yep! Reminded me of how King Kong (05) moved.

I didn't notice that the robot was fighting another monster till after a couple of viewings. Looks like they got each other's back too!

"Leatherback" is looking good. I can't wait for a clean shot of the flying kaiju though, I think I'm looking forward to that sequence the most. And that crocodilian one that was teased a while back, I'd be very interested in seeing a full (as possible) body in-movie render of him.

*Edit*

As an addendum, I'd like to ask for a few suggestions, and a little assistance. I'm very much on "Team Kaiju", and would like to sort myself out an avatar displaying this allegiance .
However, between caring for debilitated family members, university, freelance art and staying on top of a hectic social schedule, I don't have a heck of a lot of time to trawl around for cool stuff.

Anyway, my request of you delightful people is: please post the best Pacific Rim Kaiju-related images you can find, so I can craft myself a nice new avatar. In return, I will start an art thread soon.

Yeah, that painted poster of him looked sweet, I'm just hoping to get a render of the beast. And it's really hard to tell what the flyer looks like, but I like his style. 8)

I think it's the modern American one who bites the dust first, hence the need to bring the older one out of retirement. One of the pilots being Japanese doesn't require Coyote Tango to be out of action, from what I've heard. Anyway, it's too damn late (or is it early?) in this time zone, so I shall bid you adieu, Deathbearer. Have a good one.

I think the flying thing and the monster with the double 'Oruk-hai blade' crest are the same thing. They both have the same bioluminescent patterns and if you look at the latter's arm in the trailer, it looks like a folded wing in some shots.

Perhaps that's just an impression though.

They most definitely are. Here's a gif of it walking out of the water and you can see the wing folds and the extended "finger".(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FyulDcb1.gif&hash=55281a9a8ca7d5e9d3ac27ce383cb96fbb66e964)

An arrangement could be possible, yes.

Assuming the Kaiju is actually in the movie. Almost every Kaiju we've seen seems to be part of that one, specific attack in the movie.

Granted, we haven't actually seen many Kaiju.


...Wonder if the Crocodile is actually the "big baddie" Kaiju of the movie?

Still not getting the Transformers comparisons, to be honest. Aside from this having (infinitely better looking) robots, there's really no other similarities.

Pacific Rim looks beautifully shot, the monsters look awesome, the actors seem like they can actually act, and the action scenes look like they're actually going to make sense. Plus, Del Toro. I've only seen four of his films so far (Hellboy, Hellboy II: The Golden Army, The Devil's Backbone, and Pan's Labyrinth) but I loved them all.

Yeah, I can't help but wonder if they're going to pull the "All the Jeagers are destroyed but we came across this dilapidated one" card. Which I wouldn't mind at all, to be honest. Played out in the anime world but not in general cinema.

Well this is gonna seem like an awkward first post... but if it helps clear confusion!

That skull is indeed Trespasser's. The WonderCon trailer specifically states that the first made landfall in San Francisco, and Del Toro confirmed that the axe-head attacks San Fran, as well as confirmed that that was the first Kaiju attack, and the first Kaiju is, of course, the infamous Trespasser.

http://www.pacificrim-movie.net/media/pacificrim_trailer_hd_screencaps_25.jpg (http://www.pacificrim-movie.net/media/pacificrim_trailer_hd_screencaps_25.jpg)

^ And here's better shot of the GGB attacker's head, pretty much confirmation that it's his skull on display there.

Now as for the Carrier Carcass being labeled as Trespasser, that's most certainly a goof that unfortunately never got corrected, leading to all of this confusion.

He looks to be largely based around use of firepower... he may serve as an early lesson for all other Jaegers that close quarters battle is the way.

Edited for southern hemisphere. Release date is listed as 11 July here, which due to timezones is actually close to two days earlier than the US date. I might have to try wrangle a pre-screening like I did for Prometheus, then come here and gloat.  ;D

Aside from that, my birthday is 21/7, so I know what I'm doing after dinner. :D ;)

Wonder what the time period between the first attack when the Jaeger program starts and when the first Jaeger is built. Cause you know how long military contracts take and how they go over budget. Look at the Joint Strike Fighter program thats taken decades and cost billions for a jet let alone a giant Mech. Wouldn't the program take at least a decade or more and cost trillions?


And how the hell does my country (Australia) build a better Mech than the Americans who spend about 25-30 times on defence than  we do?

The cost would be shaved by the fact we're facing extinction I would imagine. Not for free, but certainly not as expensive. Plus, as scar pointed out mankind would come together like never before, most secrets would be dropped and sharing what works and what doesn't (in design and manufacturing) would probably be the norm.

As for the Americans making the best mecha, you're probably right. From the sheer amount of military knowledge (and actual manufacturing/infrastructure) the British and Americans would (or should) have the best mecha. However, if you go back to what I said, if military knowledge and technology was shared openly, perhaps other countries would take that knowhow and add their own spin to it developing their own unique mecha.

There are a lot of interesting factors that would play into it.
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: HappyAlien on May 17, 2013, 11:37:19 AM
Yeh they wouldn't piss around like they have on some other military projects but it would still take some time considering how advanced  ( and Big!) the Mechs are, i think there is a fair bit of time between the first attack and the first operational mech. Is it set in our time or a few decades in the future?


Russia and China would probably be able to build pretty decent ones as Russian fighter jets are the second to only U.S ones like the F22 and maybe equal or even better to the Euro Typhoon and the Chinese are very good at copying!

This is one of the three films i am most looking forward to this year along with Man of Steel and Elysium.
Kinda wrapped the Australian Jaeger looks the best to me and apparently is the most advanced, so happy we get our own Jaeger and its actually one of the better ones.

From the  new trailer it looks like Idris is in The Aussie Jaeger too! His name is Stacker in the film, sounds kinda like an Aussie nick name.

China lol, yes they are very good at copying things to a degree. Their F22 ripoff is a joke though but would they need to copy if everyone was freely sharing?

The (kinda) meaningless details of the back story (like we're talking about) are pretty interesting to me. I'm sure after its out a ton of detail will come out about everything. There are too many tech nerds on the face of the planet for it not to happen. Which, I happily anticipate. :P

Post by: HappyAlien on May 17, 2013, 12:17:12 PM
I don't want to ruin the film by finding out too many spoilers but the latest trailer seems to give away the fate of a few of the Jaegers. I know Gypsy Danger is one of the older Mechs but i think they use an even older Jaeger later that they thought was obsolete. Thats why you see Charlie (from SOA) in two different types of suits.

Hope Eureka takes out a few monsters before she cops it. Gotta love those Predator/Wolverine style wrist blades!

Good point, I think some of the Jaegers who get destroyed will have their pilots killed though. Character deaths are needed to show the audience that the main cast are in danger. I think the Chernobyl Alpha pilots get KIA when getting doubleteamed as shown in the trailer.

I've a feeling the film is either going to go down the we-had-these-in-storage-just-in-case route or that it'll have something to do with adapting alien technology.

Anything else... Well, it is based on crazy Japanese comic stuff, but if it wants to have a veneer of realism, they'd need to explain where the heck they got all the material from and where the prototypes were, all of this time.

North Korea's would be the most amusing thing in ever.

QuoteYeah, Russia makes very good jets but thats about it really.

Heh... Flyable, maybe, but they have their own problems. They're about a generation behind of what's in production in the West.

QuoteChina lol, yes they are very good at copying things to a degree. Their F22 ripoff is a joke though but would they need to copy if everyone was freely sharing?

It'll be interesting to see how truly stealthy their recent aircraft designs are, but like some of Iran's publicity stunts, the quality is dubious.

China's main problem has always been that it can't manufacture indigenous jet engines of the quality they require. It's easy to forget how they're under sanctions because of things like horrendous human rights abuses.

What's amusing is that they steal a ton of shit from the Russians - purchase a handful of something for 'evaluation', then reverse-engineer it. The Russians turn around and demand something be done and don't realise how hypocritical it is, because of how they've been stealing technology from the West, for ages. The Chinese go, "Oh, sorry... We'll get right on that." Then never do anything meaningful.

Karmic irony in action. :)

The most alarming thing is their attempt to start churning out aircraft carriers. You don't need the latest technology in order to do that and it would give them a huge strategic advantage over what they have at present.

Lol, come to think of it you're right. I should have said once upon a time. They are well behind nowadays, only making any real leaps from things they can steal or salvage.

I literally don't think that thing was anything other then a giant flying turkey with all the dressings. They steal things all the time (f**king Clinton) but their actual manufacturing and application are still lost in the 50s.

Alarming? Yes and no. Yes just because they are starting to get them. No because I disagree with not needing the latest technology. It takes a lot to guard one nowadays, both in ships, in AA management and most importantly in training. They simply won't have the experience no matter how many advisors they have to make them a viable threat in that aspect for a long time.

Aside from that China will always have one huge problem from being a true military super power. It's surrounded by enemies. A huge chuck of its military and money is directed at protecting it's territorial integrity. Japan, Russia, India - smaller nations Korea, Taiwan, Pakistan Vietnam, etc. They all draw a lot of resources just to defend those borders and maintain that sense of sovereignty China's religiously defends. It'll be a trading and and economic phenomenon but it's military, as much as it's growing, will always be stretched thin from its internal duty's compared to the cooperation the US can put forth in the region.

Big deal. You could make the same compare with Getter Robo G or Mazinger - in fact the film is closer to Maziner than Eva so far IMO; in particular the head attaching sequence. Should we say all of those are ripoffs of American ideas since it was American literature that spawned humans piloting mecha into battle against aliens?

It's a movie. People have been using other stories for inspiration for thousands of years.

Ever said I see a rip-off, or am against it? Relax your butt Scardy, I just found it similar (this very picture), rest was added by other folks. I`d do admit fable is also somewhat alike but have no problem with it.

Wasn't truly directed at you, just in general with all the omg compares. Yeah, there are similarities to this and that but thats nothing new. People have been doing this for thousands of years, just like the (Japanese) guy who started the military mech craze sited Heinlein in part for his inspiration.

Guillermo Del Toro On Ideas For A Sequel

Quote"[With the old Godzilla movies] it was Godzilla versus so-and-so, and that was all you needed to know It was like a wrestling match. They [Kaiju] are a race of blind consumers grabbing planets, consuming them, and moving to the next. The idea [with the sequel] is to explore a little bit of that. I won't spoil it, but I don't think we'll repeat a single beat from the first movie." While Del Toro is co-writing the sequel with Travis Beachman, he isn't guaranteed to return to the director's chair. "It will take us a while to develop. I don't think the screenplay will come out so quick. It took us a year and a half to do this script, and It'll take us at least two years to develop the other script."

Do you guys know about the "one-eye 3D trick"? Play an HD video fullscreen (the Pacific Rim at 1080p in this case), get close enough to the screen (so it fills your view range) and keep one eye closed while focusing on the screen. Enjoy the awesomeness. Basically, you trick your brain into creating an "illusory depth" since it doesn't have 2 eyes available for depth reference. It works wonders for me whenever I try.

Hope they didn't just make that shit up for this one...


The website to create your own Jaeger has this chain-sword as one of the options to choose for the arm.

I was kinda wondering if it had made it's way to the screen... seemed too cool to pass up.

Sword was seen in wondercon trailer.

Come to think of it, he'd be an ideal choice of director for a proper attempt at a 'Bloodrayne' movie adaptation.

So long as it would be based on the original games and not the horridly awful comics...

I'll pick it up, if my local TRU ever gets it in stock. My local TRU STILL hasn't actually gotten Prometheus Series 2 in stock...kind-of. I saw ONE Deacon there, ONCE, which I picked up, but for the most part it's always endless shelves of Chair Suit or Pressure Suit Engineers.

Kill count doesn't exactly matter as much as you would think.

A newer Jaeger would have a lower kill count, but it could still be better than older models.

A Jaeger might have killed stronger kaiju, but simply less of them.

It's all variable.

QuoteTheir master documents also have detailed histories on 21 different Jaeger models and 51 kaiju, most of which don't even make their way into the film.

It could be legendary in the sense that it was actually amazing but no pilot combo made it work (properly) till now? I'm sure there will be some kind of "A-HA!" explanation.

I read one of the older scripts, and they were all like

"Gypsy Danger? We get to pilot Gypsy Danger?"

So if this version is anything like it, Gypsy Danger must have done something HUGE.

If Gypsy Danger is supposed to be this legendary Jaeger, why is its Kaiju kill count so low??

I'm not sure if Gypsy danger is the legendary obsolete Jaeger they use at the end of the film. You see Charlie Hunnam in two different suits a white one with a male partner and a black suite with the Mako girl. So we know he's in at least two different Jaegers in the film.

I think he is in the Gypsy Danger in the first part of the film. And we see that crashing to the ground in the snow with its arm ripped off. I think they they pull a second  old Jaeger  out of the Warehouse cause all the newer Jaegers have been destroyed. And get him to pilot it with the Japanese girl. I think it looks similar to Gypsy Danger but is probably a prototype model. In the Trailer you see not only Gypsy Danger being destroyed or at least badly damaged but the Australian one getting caught in an EMP shockwave and the Russian one about to be ripped apart.

I think all the Jaegers get destroyed so they have to fall back on this old one that may look like Gyspy Danger in some of the quick shots of the trailer but is actually an older prototype.  Cause you see Gypsy danger and Eureka Stryker together getting put into the Ocean so i don't think Gypsy Danger is the Jaeger they pull out of 'retirement' when all the other Jaegers have been destroyed.

I'm about 90% sure the text on the middle picture in his second link has an R instead of a K. I'm assuming that's it's name, since we haven't seen any other name given to it yet.

Mehhh... While the robots-versus-monsters-with-a-really-big-budget concept is cool, I've yet to see a single creature design from this film which has impressed me. Was hoping to see something really special by now, but they're all kind of generic. :-\ And, considering the director's other films, the lack of those Lovecraftian aesthetics kind of surprises me.

Not saying it's going to be a bad movie or anything. Just that this aspect of it frustrates me.

I'm pretty sure Del Toro said at one point he'd be keeping the Lovecraft influence out on this outing; add to it that this film's enemies were advertised as kaiju since day one, and the end result is that you were really only setting yourself up for disappointment if you were expecting the likes of a Shoggoth.

You can have a guy in a suit and still have the suit look spectacularly inhuman. Especially for the head. The two film series this site is about prove that. :) Hell, look at the practical designs ADI did for 'The Thing' prequel - lots of man-in-suit stuff!

Why you would deliberately want to go down the 'generic humanoid monster' route, when the point of this is to do it with the kind of budget and techniques which weren't available in the fifties and sixties...  I dunno', seems like a contradiction/wasted opportunity to me.

Not really :-\ The Predator really is just a guy with no nose or ears and a messed up mouth. Well executed, sure, but spectacularly inhuman is difficult to argue when the actor's own eyes are used for the creature's. The Alien's head might be inhuman, but the rest of it is basically a dude who got thrown up on by a car. Beautifully artistically done, of course, but still unquestionably a dude in a suit.

Maybe I've just watched way too much Trek in my time, but I don't see how any of the kaiju come even remotely close to "generic humanoid" or any such nonsense. If you mean the basic four limbs and a head a structure, then the xeno falls under that category too.

It's simply out of a love for the original Kaiju flicks. All the monsters are meant to "look" as if they could easily be worn by a man in a suit. :P And with the exception of the flying kaiju's.... they do. :P

Knifehead suit would be the best Halloween suit of all times.

Yeah, i think the design... actually the entire movie is an ode to the early monster movies, so I get why they are "going down that route" as you say. Besides that's what makes the cgi work more original in a way, since normally everything has to look as realistic as possible, like clover...... having a huge totally fantasy looking and bulky creature has got it's charm. At least as long not every mext movie follows that recipe.

It's just a wonder this thing got greenlit at all so I'm pretty thankful no matter how oldschool the creatures look

That's why I referenced them in regards, specifically, to heads. :)

QuoteMost of which required extensive CGI additions or rig removals anyway.

Gillis and co have said they could have done fully animatronic stuff. They did it the way it was done, purely to have it augmented by CGI for the transformations (and, obviously, the producers decided to do much more than that in post-production). But there's a full-size suit for things like the (eventually unused) pilot. I think one of them even set themselves on fire for something wasn't ultimately used.

Point is, man-in-suit stuff can be as outrageous as you like, these days. Providing you have the budget to pay for it.

Indeed, just go back to original carpenter movie for totally non-CGI Lovecraftian-like visuals done in practical effects and suits.

Honestly, if they're doing this specifically as a kind of homage, then good for them. I'd say they've achieved that, absolutely. But if they're going all out with the budget, what's the harm in going to town with at least one of the creature designs, considering there are meant to be... What? Eight or so? Something really iconic instead of a relatively conventional Godzilla-alike with a few extra horns stuck on it.

Funny thing about 'Cloverfield', actually. If it wasn't for the much more interesting arachnid-like creatures in that, the main one wouldn't have done anything for me - and my viewing experience had have suffered much more for it.

I think the saying "Just because they can do it like this, doesn't mean they have to do it like this" can easily apply to why they went with what they did. The vast majority of the time (and, boy, do I mean vast), kaiju do not look like the Lovecraftian horrors that you are affectionate of, Xenomorphine, and Del Toro chose to keep with that tradition.

Doesn't matter. The vast majority of people who see this (who are going to be the same kind of demographic which the likes of 'Transformers 3' are aimed at) might recognise it's influenced by those old Japanese films, but few are going to care whether it adheres to their formulas. Besides which, creature features of old were more than 'Godzilla' movies.

Like I said, I hope it does well, it's just that the creature designs feel uninspired/underwhelming to me, considering what they could have been for the same money. In the same way as those behind the designs of 'Prometheus' got what they were aiming for with the hammerpede, etcetera, but as a movie, those parts of it didn't entertain me very much. I felt very been-there-done-that with what I was seeing on screen.

Hoping to be pleasantly surprised, though.

The only man in a suit was Palmer, the rest were puppets. If The Thing proved anything it was that you could get away with more if you didn't limit yourself to a guy in a suit, which is pretty much the opposite of what you're arguing.

But like I said, the head is. :)

And like I also said, ADI could've made them completely suits and/or animatronic. They were specifically requested not to.

My point was that the people who used to make those old movies were limited by the technology and relatively low budgets of the time. If they could have come up with something more spectacular and eye-catching, then they would have. Seems a wasted opportunity to deliberately restrict yourself to what seem like fairly generic dinosaur-looking things with a few extra spikes on them.

Honestly, if they do it well, good luck to them! I'm just rather underwhelmed with them being given all these movie-making resources and not coming up with anything which looks original, creature-wise (or robot-wise, for that matter, considering they all look very humanoid, too, but I'm hoping there might be some transforming origami-style surprises with them).

It probably won't matter for most people. I was the kind of kid who got lego sets and pooled all the movable parts together to make robotic sea monster/wasp/arachnid hybrid things, instead of the mundane stuff on the covers of the boxes. :)

Yep, that is correct. We haven't had a glimpse of him yet.

According to the leaked script, only two category 5 kaiju have been encountered prior to the events of the movie; and it took days to bring them down.

Why? It's an aesthetic. By that sort of thinking every CG monster would have some kind of obligation to be an incomprehensible, ever-changing mass of teeth, eyes, tentacles and other miscellaneous body-parts because it's not something you can actually do well practically :-\

They could do it with other means. There is the possibility to use stop-motion (with added motion blur -- they can do that now!) or go-motion, with the proper digital enhancement.

Or yes, suits.

And the Godzilla movies were all low budgeted; not a good indication, not of what a properly budgeted film would have looked like in their time, nor what it would look like now.

It's all in the craft of the technique. Example:
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fmonsterlegacy.files.wordpress.com%2F2013%2F05%2Fgodzillacrash.jpg&hash=60e7cef7e951a3e197013875ee9dad22f4e70b2e)
Yes, the film used a good 75% CGI in the end... but the above shot is Kurt Carley in the 1/24th scale suit. :)


Now don't get me wrong -- I'm not in the 'Pacific Rim CGI is horrendous' boat. I'm just saying that some things can be achieved with other means.

Would be fantastic if that were used today combined with digital compositing.

But then that would require actual imagination on the part of filmmakers and producers.

I think the problem here is more due to the time part. CGI is quicker (though in no way easier) and I guess producers will be more willing to spend their money on CGI than these old techniques purely based on the success of other CGI-heavy films.

Del Toro is very imaginative, but he does not have total-total freedom over it I guess. Especially with such a big budget.

CGI is definitely not quicker, it take months and months and months of processing.

Go-motion = stick a maquette in front of a blue screen, puppeteer it in real time, then composite it. Fairly straightforward.

It's just that the effects industry, producers -- and of course audiences -- are so lazy and accustomed to the same kind of ugly, instantly dated, grotesquely expensive CGI crap time and time again that that's all anyone thinks to use anymore.

She is so adorable in that Velma getup but the films were doomed to be terrible the moment somebody decided to make Scooby Doo into a live-action adaptation.
At least we got a hot Velma.  8)

It would have just been easier to get her to cosplay as Velma for a photo shoot. :P

According to the leaked script, only two category 5 kaiju have been encountered prior to the events of the movie; and it took days to bring them down.

This bolsters my faith immensely! Just two or three things which look properly vicious and alien, instead of just lizard-apes/dinosaurs with some spikes glued on... That's all I ask for. The Predalien we ended up getting on the big screen suffered from being like that (and, honestly, I could see that getting enlarged to the size of a bridge and looking like it'd fit right in with the stuff we've seen so far).

Long as whatever they are don't end up just looking like an incomprehensible mess, obviously. Pointless over-engineering and lazy design are opposite sides of the same coin.

Also, I wonder what it looks like on the other side of the portal? My mind is racing, imagining a planet like LV-426 entirely infected by the Thing with tentacles and giant monsters and crazy inhuman biological structures everywhere. Yeah.

Have got a feeling that's going to be what the set-up for a sequel is about. Would love to see that in its full cinematic glory, though. One of the very few directors I would trust to try and get that ideal right.

A glance at the cast list proves that, though have positive opinion of the changes Del Torro made that we know of; kaiju blue etc.

The major character that got axed was cliched, so no problem there.

Certainly. But even on the Heroclix figure it looks very interesting.

Wasn't there a monster in one of the trailers that had its back or something split open, as well?

Split head monster recalls Dog Thing from Original Carpenter film where the dog face peels back leaving the skull which then falls off leaving a tentacle.

Also, that oral/cranial split Orga performs before trying to deep throat Godzilla.

Seriously. All my f**king money. Despite how awful a lot of the clix figures are when seen in person, I still love cleaning them up, altering and repainting them. Plus, ever since I first saw the PR trailer, I've been goofing with potential rules for a PR table-top-game. These things are a godsend for my gaming group.


Also nice to see Tom Morello pop up in the soundtrack listings.

how in the hell can there be a sequel?

My theory:

Heroes seal the gateway, 'winning' by preventing an imminent and huge invasion. We then get a glimpse that something far more ominous in on the way and that what we've seen is essentially just a scouting mission. Sequel is set up for a mission requiring us to go to there and prevent it.

Not based on anything. Just seems logical. Plus, that's what you get when you combine 'Hellboy' and the plans for the 'Independence Day' sequel. The results of which seem to essentially be this movie. :)

Think of the ending of 'Deep Rising'. That's what I'm thinking we'll see for this.

Best version of that formula I remember is a character who gets hauled in and retrieved from the black portal from 'Event Horizon'. Still very effective.

I like it more now. :)

Also fits in much more with the Reaper concepts from the same director's 'Blade 2' film (the mouth design of which I always rather liked).

Also like the fact that a couple of them seem to have more than just two arms. They all seemed like they did in the adverts. They don't seem quite so generic-dinosaur-like now.

Not the Japanese cartoon, which I've seen some of and seemed rather strange. I mean the storyline which ran in Marvel comics, here in the UK, back in the eighties. Sadly never had a conclusion, but the story and characters were amazing, considering it was just aimed at kids.

It's a damned fine book; each major character and kaiju have a chart listing category, height, weight, powers etc. Loads of concept art and finished renderings, pretty much all annotated. ID cards for a couple of characters, pull out diagrams of kaiju anatomy and a large sealed envelope attached inside the back cover. Dunno what's in that yet.

Just getting started reading cover to cover, so no doubt will find a few more goodis in there.

The book is spoiler hell, didn't matter to me as have read the leaked script. There is one kaiju that we've only had a very brief glimpse of, but that's it.

He's named Bladehead, and we'll only get to see him on TV screens.

Just started listening to the soundtrack excerpts. Definitely get what you guys are saying about old-school game soundtracks.  Music seems big and fun, much like the film itself. I can't really tell for sure from these short clips (that annoyingly cut off at the most random spots :P ) but the music definitely seems like its going to work well enough with the spectacle that is Pacific Rim.

July, please get here soon. I want to see this movie so badly right now.

Both are category 4. Raiju was designed to be more of an aquatic beast, Scunner is intended to be like a bull. King R, I believe the only two kaiju with ranged weapons are Otachi and Leatherback.

In purely realistic terms, there shouldn't be any need to construct a machine which has to do hand-to-hand fighting, at all. Ranged weapons should be able to deal with these things very nastily (especially if using things like corrosives and other chemical agents). All the more so when there are a f**kload of them fired on a single target.

That would mean they couldn't film giant man-shaped robots pretending to be Hulk Hogan, though. :)

Otherwise, just lure it onto land and set fire to the thing...

Anything interesting about Otachi in the book? That's my favorite of the bunch.

Heheh, OK.

Spoiler
She is a category 4, and one of the most toxic of the kaiju. She spits acid, her neck engorges and her lower jaw splits open to discharge the acid. When she "dies", don't turn your back on her; she has a "secondary lifeforce" hidden within. Oh, and I believe she's pregnant!  :)

Don't it?!

Keep looking for midnight screening at my local cinema...nothing yet. I'd even accept a 3D showing at this point, if it means shaving a few hours off the wait.

Razorslash is right, seems the category thing takes into account all kaiju attributes.
Spoiler
Seems some work better as a team and co-ordinate with others in battle, and others are far more intelligent. Otachi is cat 4, yet about 1000 tons lighter than Scunner and Raiju.

Oops, my bad. Have corrected post :)

Yes, all the major kaiju have a paragraph or two on design philosophy and inspiration. Some final designs incorporate elements of kaiju that didn't make it past the concept design stage.

My single criticism of the book is that the only maquette pictured is Karloff :(

Probably 5, would be my guess. Granted, I haven't seen the movie or read the artbook yet, so I'm merely guessing based on what I know.

That's also assuming 5 is the max limit of "You're f**ked", which it sounds like from reading posts in this thread.

Otherwise, just lure it onto land and set fire to the thing...

First, their toxic blood kinda makes the whole "spray and pray" a big no-no... Not that it'd matter anyway cause nothing short of a nuke was able to bring them down before the Jaegers. :P

Second, they're silicon based. Fire, corrosives, and chem agents aren't a guaranteed victory.

Third, they go straight for the heavily populated areas. I don't think you wanna be remembered as the man who burnt down LA just to kill one giant animal. (The real world equivelent to that would be burning down your house just because of a spider)

If their blood is toxic, all that means is to stay away from the immediate area surrounding a wound. Doesn't stop you killing them. :)

QuoteSecond, they're silicon based. Fire, corrosives, and chem agents aren't a guaranteed victory.

They seem rather fleshy, whatever they're made out of.

QuoteThird, they go straight for the heavily populated areas. I don't think you wanna be remembered as the man who burnt down LA just to kill one giant animal. (The real world equivelent to that would be burning down your house just because of a spider)

Unless you mean they burrow straight up from the ground, a thing that size is going to picked up a distance away from most large cities on the coast - and most of those would be evacuated if things like these are always roaming around. :)

Regardless! You can contain a fire. You can't really physically contain an rampaging Godzilla-sized animal. Setting them on fire (a handful of missiles equipped with incendiary warheads) would be an excellent way to destroy a biological target. As a species, we're insanely good at killing things made out of flesh and bone.

For pure visual effect, I get why they want to nerf what human beings are capable of, but in the real world it'd be a lot easier.

Also, I saw the more recent trailer on the big-screen when I saw Man of Steel last night. That was fantastic.

I've seen MoS twice and neither showed a Pacific Rim trailer :( I was hoping so bad...

Interesting point about silicon based physiology and collateral damage during encounters.

All the Jaegers have some kind of ranged weapon.
Spoiler
Incinerators, anti-kaiju missiles, cryo-cannon, plasmacasters and good old fashioned massive machine guns on the older models. All are just as effective on kaiju as they are on carbon based life. Collateral damage, due to the battle or contamination, is factored into the success rating of battles; or it was in the original script

Just finished; a great pre-watch read. Gives a lot of great insight into some of the more stand-out characters in the movie and some new ones to guide the conception of the Jaeger program. Things even got more emotionally charged than I had expected, making for some really good storylines.

The comic is basically about a reporter who is trying to get interviews with the head people behind the Pan Pacific Defense Force and the Jaeger Program shortly before the events of the movie, giving it a World War Z-eske (novel) vibe. It goes pretty in-depth in describing the sense of the neural bridge and what it takes to pilot a Jaeger, and I thoroughly enjoyed every page! Recommended reading before seeing the movie.

Spoiler
Stacker ends up piloting a Jaeger, something that doesn't happen in the leaked script. Any ideas who he pilots it with since it requires a special connection?

It doesn't necessarily require a special connection, but it helps for newly initiated pilots.

Spoiler
From the looks of the stills, he pilots it with one of Eureka's previous pilots; the other one may be dead or injured, so Stacker takes his place.

Really trying not to over-analyze the movie based on stills and trailers, but it seems to be doing a good enough job of not showing too much.

Nope. The only Kaiju that go on to appear in the movie are Trespasser and the victim of Coyote Tango.

Agreed, but with the inclusion of Trespasser, Knifehead, Onibaba, Leatherback, Otachi, Bladehead, Scunner, Raiju, and Slattern I think the on-screen beastiary was getting a tad bit full.

If "Grown Ups 2" is tracking better than Pacific Rim then it's a CLEAR indication of the world we are living in now. (And how I don't want to live in it anymore!)

That's okay Nightmare. One big, BIG, happy monster movie family.  ;)

Pacific Rim promises big fun, world building carnage with bromance, romance, and an Independence Day like hurrah human united front against giant monsters. You can't go wrong.

Godzilla hasn't promised anything yet really ... but from all the sounds the filmmakers are making and from all the set pics we should expect a dark, scary, serious disaster film where the disaster happens to be a giant monster.

Not a deal breaker at all.

Still, I found one of the strongest elements in the script I read to be the barrier between her and Hunnam's character. They need to get close to each other, but not only do they still sting from recent losses, they don't speak the same language.

So that was dropped. Okay. I'm sure there was a good reason. I just hope the movie doesn't forfeit the human heart at the center of the story.

Did an experiment and asked around my non-monster fandom friends to see what they thought about this. If they had any interest in seeing it and so on. Prevailing view was that they don't see anything different to a 'Transformers' movie or 'Battleship' and want to instinctively avoid it for that reason... Have to admit, the adverts, so far, have a very similar aesthetic.

Anyone tried this? Not with friends who are into these kind of films, because they'd probably watch it, regardless. Has to be people who aren't pre-existing fans of it. Should give us an insight as to whether the hype is working or not.

At my work there is only one guy (besides me) who even knows what Pacific Rim is ... and he's mildly curious about it. Everyone else either hasn't heard about it or it's just some big robot movie like Transformers.

From the trailers it does come across as Battleship to the casual viewer doesn't it? Yikes.

I hope fans of Del Toro, Giant Robots, Giant Monsters, and just big summer movie people in general are enough to get the buzz going once it hits.

The weirdest thing I came up with that I couldn't make work on screen was, initially Rinko Kikuchi's character Mako Mori was going to speak entirely in Japanese for the first half of the movie. And Raleigh [her partner] did not speak Japanese. Then when they finally got their connection calibrated in the Jaeger he would hear her in English. It was a lovely idea, it was a cool idea, but the more that we thought about it the more we realized that it would be a bit of a chore to have the two leads speaking in different languages for the first half of the movie.

Del Toro used his juice from Pans Labyrinth to make Hellboy 2. But Pans Labyrinth came with all types of critical praise and awards. Something Pacific Rim may not have, but time will tell.

If the movie has resounding heart and spirit along with spectacle ... I see no problem seeing Del Toro climb the next rung of his creative ladder.

Pacific Rim certainly feels a lot closer than it was before.  Time went by fast for me.

Just tossing an idea out there, but I had an idea for the sequel.

Behemoth, Ziz, and Leviathan. They could be the actual beasts that pose a greater threat and are perhaps more mysterious than the kaiju we know of, or maybe be newer jaegers specialized for land (Behemoth), air (Ziz), and sea (Leviathan).
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films

You can bet that would basically be the plan. These types of movies are geared towards selling merchandise, which can sometimes rake in much larger profits than the films, themselves. Even if the movies fail, they end up making millions through other means.

On the other hand, noticing a lot of people mentioning how hokey that, "Let's do this together," line was and instantly disregarding it as another Michael Bay-type thing. Here's hoping most of the dialogue is better than that.

I can see how it would attract people who are into the strangeness of Japanese cartoons, because it fits that perfectly, but ordinary film audiences... Oy...

Of course the mechs are going to react like a human; especially when the pilots stand just like in G Gundam.

All those shows and movies you listed among others (mostly anime) are inspirations for this. When anime is inspiration ridiculous crazy ott shit should be expected. Especially when giant robots/mechas and monsters are involved.

Lol, Batman and Robin.

Like Cvalda, I can't really find a single track which I feel I like. Nothing iconic which will make me associate a particular tune with this specific movie. A film like this, which is all visual spectacle, needs some kind of 'Independence Day' oomph to it, but like SiL said, the direction's a lot more in the way of old 32-bit game music.

Whether that'll help or hinder it, I don't know. Music is a big part of the average viewer's psychological engagement. I'm reserving judgement until I watch it.

Quote from: Hubbs on Jul 01, 2013, 02:54:07 PM
A toy merchandise/kids cartoon/Power Rangers/Godzilla/Transformers/videogame mish mash that feels like its been made just for those reasons.

If you didn't realise this until now, where have you been? :)

That's the fun aspect to it. Giant robots and monsters beating one another up! It's meant to appeal to the kid inside you! On the other hand, so do Michael Bay movies and a lot of people detest his style...

I do think it could have done with a lot more Lovecraftian influence for the creatures and more 'Terminator-style realism for the robots, though. Not just for the sake of it, but to help differentiate it against the likes of 'Transformers', 'GI Joe' and 'Power Rangers', because its own hype could suffer from too many people making those comparisons. Stuff like this needs people to go and see it who aren't already pre-existing fans.

Myself, I'm kinda' hopeful... I love what the director did for 'Blade 2' and both the 'Hellboy' movies, which should bode well for this. But if we just get something which ends up looking like Stephen Sommers directed it, it'll be hugely disappointing. Look at how Paul Anderson was revered in sci-fi fandom for 'Event Horizon', only to become one of the most hated directors around after 'Alien Versus Predator' was made.

On the other hand, this looks tailor-made for kids and I'm expecting families will pump up sales something mighty.

In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if a cartoon show is soon commissioned. The medium's an ideal match for what we've seen up to now.

If it rips on anything, it's more like 'Zoids'. The Marvel comics version, back in the eighties, anyway. No idea what the Japanese storyline was like, but it's meant to have been completely different.

Now, if these special effects had been used for a live-action edition of that... :o

Entire collection's available to read for free if anyone's interested. :)

http://www.zoidstar.bloodforthebaron.com/comics.html (http://www.zoidstar.bloodforthebaron.com/comics.html)

Takes a little while while before the good stuff kicks in, but seriously entertaining stuff. One particular late issue is even clearly influenced by 'Aliens'! ;D

Your friend is a moron. The beings in Evangelion aren't referred to as Kaju in a single instance, and they never should be. The similarities are purely cosmetic and to do with piloting operations. That's pretty much it, as far as I can tell at this point. Yet, none of this should be a surprise, because the movie clearly takes inspiration from and serves as a love letter to those kinds of anime and classic giant monster/robot/whatever films.

My previous expectations were very high. I'm a freaking fan of giant monsters, and giant robots. You can thank the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers for that. I remember concept art that ended up being fake, and what I'm seeing now still managed to keep my expectations at the same level as they were when I first heard about this movie.

It's shown itself to be much more expansive, imaginative, and more impressive overall in terms of world building since I heard about it at first, so I'd say it's better than I had initially imagined it would be.

Random question:

When you first heard the basics about this project, how do your previous expectations square up against what you know about it now? Does it differ by a huge amount to what you imagined we'd be getting or does it seem more or less how you thought it would be?

When I first heard about the project, I was excited. This was like the movie that my childhood was wrongfully never given. Then I went through a period where I was little worried that, rather than the Kaiju being, well, kaiju, they'd look like things outta Lovecraft. And then the first trailer dropped, those fears were relieved and put to rest, and I couldn't f**king wait for this month to get here.

Everything I have seen has so far actually exceeded my expectations.

When I first heard about it, I was excited just cause of the idea alone. I had always wanted to see a movie of this size about giant monsters and robots ever since I was a kid (you can blame Gundam, Godzilla, and EVA for that, lol). The idea had me hooked and Guillermo Del Toro of all people directing sold me more. Now with all the latest news, the ideas for the world, the Jaegers, the Kaiju's, how sequels (if they get made) plan to expand on it? I can say with utmost confidence that this project has so far surpassed my initial expectations.

I'll admit this does look fun but also incredibly cliched, generic and of course unoriginal. The monsters don't really look that wonderful although nicely crafted, where as the huge robots look awful and cartoony, why is the CGI so average on them?.

I also must note the continuing destruction porn phase we seem to be going through right now, who can make things getting trashed look the best.

No...no...NOOOOO!!!! Don't speaketh these foul words in the domain of ye olde Pacific Rimeth!

But in all seriousness, when are you going to find originality in modern cinema these days? My personal lust for this film exists because out of all the superhero movies, gritty handheld camera dramas, and remakes comes a film that looks like it'll blow the lid off of every other Hollywood blockbuster out there in terms of visuals and entertainment.

Man your bar is set higher than Knifehead's nose for the C.G.I. Why man, why so high?

No difference to the atomic age of cinema in the 50's, where everyone was trying to destroy cities in different ways. Giant ants, tarantulas, dinosaurs, Godzilla, 50ft woman, aliens, you name it. Cinema goes through  these weird stages sometimes, however part of me thinks we're living in an age of cinema like no other, the 3D "popular" age, where ticket sales have never been so high. I'm still debating on whether this is a good thing.

There is a lot of crap out there but movies like Pacific Rim might just be the opposite, at least that's why we have our fingers and toes crossed, and are waving our PR flags.

They're kind'a technically aliens.

The series doesn't really ever say anything concrete, instead making vague references; the movie End of Evangelion spells it out somewhat clearly in a conversation set between carnage. Most of the backstory which explains things really clearly is from easter eggs in video games and stuff like that (And maybe the rebuild, only seen the first two movies).

I first expected it to be more grounded down, but was pleasantly surprised in seeing how massively imaginative it was in reality. Now I am greatly looking forward to it and in all probability am going to see it twice in the cinema to catch all the details.

Even if CGI looks bad I personally still don't know the mechanics of how it works, it's not as simple as pushing a button as many people who joke about it insist. CGI can be just as awe-inspiring and captivating as practical special effects. It's all about how you use it.

Cvalda, bring up Transformers if you will but you know as well as I that those CGI effects are all ground breaking, you bring them up because the films are bad. That doesn't mean the CGI is bad.

Pacific Rim might just be a great film. WITH AWESOME, GRAND SWEEPING SHOTS OF GIANT ROBOTS AND GIANT MONSTERS FIGHTING ALL IN GLORIOUS CGI. ;)

I guess the thing is when people sit around making props, sets, suits, masks etc...it gives the film more life, people have used real craftsmanship and natural talent to create beautiful artistic results. Perfect example 'Labyrinth', a simply stunning film that still holds its own today.

CGI is simply a bunch of computer nerds sitting around desks clicking away on their computers, its not even THAT skilled because the computer does the friggin work for you! like spell checker lol!. I cannot get excited that much over CGI because end of the day its not really skilled and anyone can probably do it with lessons.

Real hands on special effects can't be taught as easily because you do actually need natural born talent, in most cases but not all. But we all know this...don't we?

Plus these robots just look like CGI, some CGI works great in the background (Gladiator), but in stuff like this it just looks like CGI.

This is now starting to remind me of 'Inhumanoids'.

The point here is that CGI -- GOOD CGI -. is not easy at all. The computer does not 'do everything' for you. Ask anyone who actually works on the field.

Yes, many films mis-use the technique with mediocre to even bad results. Doesn't mean the technique by itself is bad.

A lot of bad films use CGI, doesn't mean it's a bad tool.

Yep! It's horses for courses, these days. A lot of practical effects get blamed for being CGI, even when they're not and vice versa! 'Resident Evil' and the Licker creature would be a case in point - often accused of being CGI, but was practical. A lot of people still think 'Alien 3' used complete CGI, too, when it was just the cracking dome where that was used.

What a lot of new directors need to learn is when to effectively employ one technique over another. The prequel to 'The Thing' is another example, where a more ideal balance was planned, but where the superior practical effects got completely replaced in a lot of cases, instead of just augmented. The practical stuff which ADI came up with? Stunningly realistic.

Give me hands on any day, 'Blade Runner'  ;D

I think films like Gladiator and other historical epics show how CGI can work well, landscapes, crowds, skylines, cityscapes, armies etc...in general stuff like that looks very good.

But I just think...and I know people here will freak, I just think CGI is kinda lazy, saves people getting their hands dirty and having to actually do proper graft hehe ;) Again I refer back to 'Labyrinth' and 'Legend'.

You can just imagine how 'Labyrinth' would look if it were made today  ::)

CGI is an art form. A lot of work goes into it. In order to do it well (in the context of photorealism), the artist must replicate reality as perfectly as possible. This isn't something the computer can do for you. It's effing difficult, and draining, and, once finished, rewarding.
To an onlooker, a CGI artist looks like he's just fiddling on a computer. This does make his job look less difficult than that of a puppeteer or prosthetics artist. But just because it looks easy, doesn't mean it is.

CGI artists are among the most under-appreciated workers in film.

I believe that (someone correct me if I'm wrong) and it's tongue were the only CGI during that specific scene. Most of it was an animatronic puppet.

The thing about robots is that they look best when not over-engineered. The stuff out of 'Transformers' films? Those ones are hideously over-complicated, with the exception of a few designs. They psychologically confuse most viewers because of there being too much detail flying around in front of the screen at speeds which are too quick to register.

Stuff like you see for the original 'Robocop' (both Robocop and the ED-209) and 'Terminator' films are a lot better. The mechanics look functional. They're recognisable as something which has been engineered to move in the way they do - mostly because the people who built the suits and puppets had to account for the range of movement. :)

Something like the big screen incarnation of Megatron? It's got spikes all over it for no good reason. It doesn't look logical. Then the director has it move around and connecting with lots of other needlessly over-complicated things at very high speeds and it gets difficult for the average person to figure out what's going on.

Don't know about the specifics of that, but can remember Anderson speaking about how he always catches heat from RE fans about it being bad CGI when it was actually practical.

On the other hand, look at the arachnid warriors from 'Starship Troopers'. Horridly superficial film, but the CGI work on them was excellent.

I know - wish they'd kept that in! Looked like a genuine extraterrestrial creature...

I mean, in strictly biological terms, there are evolutionary rules which dictate the humanoid form is going to be the most likely for a space-travelling civilisation, but as something meant to look like something from another planet, that thing there is a work of art.

If anyone pays attention to my posts you know I love Japanese monster movies. I love models, miniatures, suitmation, all that. But I can also appreciate the work put into CG and Pacific Rim is easily the most Japanese inspired American monster movie I know of. It gets the kaiju and mecha genres like no other. Just because they're using a different format - it is an American action film - doesn't mean the same amount of thought and care isn't going into it. And even then there are practical effects in the film, it's just not what people expect.

Comparing what I'm seeing - a beautifully constructed world with saturated, neon colors with TRUE mechs and kaiju - to the flashy car commercial fights of Transformers or the brown, ugly subdued creatures of Clash of the Titans makes no sense to me.

Nonsense. I've seen way to many shitty sculptures, paintings, comic book art, interior design, fashion design ... tasted too many shitty cuisines ... heard too much shitty music to believe the amount of shitty CGI is disproportionate within the spectrum.

That's not necessarily true. There's a bunch of amateur artists all over the world that are probably trying to become professional but just aren't that good. Painters, sculptors, drawers, etc....all posting their work on the internet or by other means.

Unless you're just talking about the movie industry. I believe SpaceMarines was speaking more broadly though.

I gotta say, I disagree. Look at the shit they put up in art museums nowadays. Just random splatters of paint on a canvas instead of a beautiful landscape painting of a mountain or something like that. The effort put into the CGI of movies like Pacific Rim is ridiculous. (I watched a featurette on the Transformers DVD) These guys put in an incredible amount of work to this stuff, and then of course, there's the dumbass hacks at The Asylum who make shit movies like Megashark vs Crocosaurus.  :laugh:

I just showed that to my dad who was previously unconvinced about the movie. He watched it, and said "That was a much better trailer than the other ones."

He's still a little nervous about the movie, though, because of Guillermo's quotes about trying to make a movie for 13 year olds that adults might also enjoy.

I just realized what this movie reminds me of most on a visual level (not the content.)

Sucker Punch.

But only visually. Sucker Punch failed largely because its gigantic visual craziness had no stakes. Pacific Rim does have stakes, so the comparison begins and ends with its hyper-stylized color schemes and visual effects-driven cinematography.

Yep. I consider that "stupid funny," or at least that scene in particular. I consider Family Guy as "stupid funny", even though it is not entirely devoid of wit. And shows like Community or How I Met Your Mother (first 3 seasons at least) "smart funny". Even though "smart" isn't really the best word to use, it just means to me that the running jokes are wittier and usually compliment each other.

It's always when you let your guard down.

This shit better cancel Grown Ups 2.

(I don't like to wish bad fortune for any movie, but THIS just CAN'T loose to that.)

Well...his Grown Ups franchise is appealing to more demographics than Pacific Rim. It wouldn't surprise or upset me either way. Both look good for their own purposes.

:-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X

As much as I think Pacific Rim looks tacky and oversaturated with CGI, it still looks vastly better than any Sandler film. :P

The only Sandler films I can tolerate are those co-starring Drew Barrymore - and, even then, they're just mediocre.

But then I guess there's an audience that watches any shit thrown at them. That's why people like Tyler Perry, Adam Sandler, Jason Statham etc. continue to get work in the film industry. :-\

The giant monster genre has always been kind of niche really, so I would not be surprised either.

My only worry would be that this flopping would heavily influence del Toro's future career. And I wholeheartedly hope Pacific Rim has a tremendous success for that reason alone.

If people lined up for Man of Steel, which was literally all over the place :laugh: they should devour this film. The competition from an Adam Sandler film seems beyond laughable as movies like Pacific Rim always do well in the summer. It's perfect in it's aim, and Del Toro is good at keeping films focused where they need to be to deliver powerfully.

Don't worry, it will pull the kids in like those ropes made of Nerds. How many giant robot monster fighting movies does it have to compete with? How about decent ones made in the past decade?

This is going to be the shit, and there are a few continents worth of nubile tweens chomping at the bit to see this in IMAX 8-D seven times. ;) as well as introverted 30 year old man-children, goth druid girlfriends in tow.

I wouldn't say it's heart-breaking, exactly... I'm going to wait and see it before feeling it in any way deserves me feeling personally cut up about it. Thing might turn out to stink to high heaven, for all we know.

Nevertheless, seems obvious this was going to be the case in the 'predictions' market. The actual hype for it, advertisement-wise, has been painting it as stuff we've all seen before. It looks like 'GI Joe' and 'Battleship' got together and produced some kind of bastard love-child offspring together (which is great for toys and games, but not so much for an emotionally engaging cinematic experience). 'Transformers', itself, may not have done nearly so well if it hadn't been built on a pre-existing - and beloved - series from most guys' childhoods.

How is it being pushed? Like a Stephen Sommers movie. Not like a GDT movie. People are going to react accordingly.

Unfortunately, it's not helping that there's been very little demonstrating the characters are going to be anything other than bland, either... I'm hoping they'll be memorable, but the adverts aren't playing it that way.

What will change this perception is when we start to get actual reviews. If it's any good, if this is more than a collection of utterly superficial and vapid special effects strung together with some cheesy dialogue, the reviews are going to point that out. Interest - and sales - will rise.

If it is just that? Well, that's just how it goes. There'll be other, better films coming along down the line. It's not like the failure of something like this is going to prevent future alien invasion or robot-versus-monster spectaculars.

Well for something like Dredd, everybody is foaming at the mouth over the idea of a sequel, but due to it's poor BO performance, that'll likely never happen. It also goes to studio analytics for what sells and what doesn't. Say this movie bombs but it's a great movie on it's own; cool, we've got a great movie, but it's possibly a hit against the chances of seeing others like it in the future.

I agree with your point that we shouldn't whine for sequels, and should just be happy with what we get, but...

Sometime in the future there maybe a website called Pacific Rim Galaxy were fans from around the world have the chance to connect and chat about PR and its sequels. (Whether they're shitty or not.) Why fans really want sequels is because one day we hope that future generations experience this level of fandom that we are on with the Alien & Predator movies on here. We have a lot of fun and wish it upon others.

f**k's sake...

First of all, I'm not. When I hear that sequels were planned for Dredd, something that could easily contain a follow up of equal or greater value, but it's snatched away, it's disappointing. For something like this, I can't really imagine seeing a sequel to it because it seems more like a standalone story. You're only attacking a single point of what I was saying anyways, for the next part:

Since this movie and Transformers is the same thing for you, with no greater qualities to what it's trying to accomplish, it's hard to convince you otherwise, so I won't try. All I can say is that the difference between what this brings to the table and what Transformers shoots for is easily defined between messy eye-rape action & shitty toilet humor versus a thoughtfully crafted love letter to monster flicks. Guess which one the general public clamors for and you'll get a cookie, and the winner gets terrible sequels and goes on to springboard other great films such as Battleship.

It doesn't need a sequel. It's fine as it is. Who needs another film set in that universe, with the same tone and characters? Where is there to go aside from retreading the same gritty comic book shtick the first one already did very well? Not everything needs to be a franchise.

As if the trailers for this look any different than any of those.

Complains when sequels just become a money making franchise.

Who said anything about wit? I was (vaguely) pointing out the irony that your sig is about a film called Obsession and clearly isn't a shitty CGI blockbuster that brings in the drooling halfwits we call "general audience."

It's a nice touch.

(I've been agreeing with you, for the most part.)

Anybody that is a fan of any movie would want a sequel to it  as long as it doesn't cheapen the storyline and/or lose its heart because of multiple movies. A movie like this, which isn't really about plot but just mindless fun, is perfect for sequels. The pull of it is Robots vs Monsters. I want to see as much different monsters as possible, personally. So I want sequels.

That really, really depends on the movie.

I'd like sequels to Dredd, because I liked the character and there's a lot you could do with the world they set up, regardless of what Cvalda says. On the flip side, however, I'm just gravy with there not being any sequels to Memento, or Stalker, or Solaris, or Seven Samurai (At least I pray there's not some backwater DTV quasi-sequel out there for any of those), and those are amongst my all-time favourite movies.

I don't care if this film does not get any sequels -- I think I read it does not end with a sequel hook, so that's fine enough for me.

What I fear is that it flopping would definitely influence del Toro's later career. It would murder whatever minuscule hope there was for At the Mountains of Madness, it'd put other projects on risk and everything. It would be a very sad thing, especially seeing how talented the director in question is.

It would also make it tougher for people to make the argument that Hollywood just doesn't do anything original... because that would be the fault of audiences choosing Grown Ups 2 over Pacific Rim.

Yup. I don't hope for sequels based on a film's quality, but on the potential a film holds for another. For Dredd, there are many more stories that could be told and many ways the characters can evolve. It could be argued that every sequel is unwarranted, but it becomes a weak argument once you consider the good that has come out of making many previously stand-alone films franchises (even if they eventually fall to the wayside).

The over-exaggeration here is the belief that seeing potential in sequels is the same as thinking everything needs to be blown up into a full-on franchise.

Honestly I'm fine with sequels, prequels, reboots, and adaptations so long as they don't pander to the lowest common denominator because writing anything else is just so hard.

Which, frankly, is a category this movie is advertising itself as falling directly into.

Not sure about the first one, since it's basically giant insect bug robots vs the Megazord, I completely forget what the hell kind of giant monster they even fight in Turbo: A Power Rangers movie. I don't even think there was a giant monster fight in that one to be honest.

Title: Re: Pacific Rim films

But still if Power Rangers is the only example that our combined minds can come up with, it's pretty safe to say these types of movies need a big shot at being in the limelight. Also to be taken seriously.

Although I haven't seen 1 yet, I hope there's a Pacific Rim sequel.

They fought a demon in Turbo... How the f**k do I even remember that? :-X

And PR is original in that it isn't based on a book, a comic, a cartoon, a meme, a real-life event, a video game, or a toyline, and it's not a sequel, a remake, or a reboot.

Sure it's giant mechs vs giant monsters, but that's a sub-genre.

I think there's a crossing of wires here. There are two Kaiju shots around 0:04, one with a Kaiju performing a "roar-by", and one with a Kaiju shrouded in smoke and shadow.

The Kaiju that's shrouded in smoke and shadow is Karloff, or at least a Kaiju that looks suspiciously like him because Karloff is supposed to attack Vancouver, and yet there's a palm tree on fire in that shot. (At least, I think that's a palm tree. I'm no botanist)

The Kaiju performing the "roar-by", well, time will tell who that is.

You should probably take the time to watch Pan's Labyrinth. I'd argue that it's Del Toro's best film.
Unfortunately Del Toro doesn't make movies like Pan's Labyrinth in Hollywood. He makes movies like Blade 2; bland, disposable fun.

Yes that goes for Hellboy as far as I'm concerned >.>

The Hellboy movies are great examples of creative worldbuilding and fun character writing. The plots aren't too much to write home about, but they're so wonderfully populated.

Fair enough. I think they are far superior to his Mimic and Blade 2 though.

No arguments there. I have a tendency to not mark Mimic against him, though, on account of the shoddy production it went through.

But I guess expecting viewers to make that leap/effort is the result of bad promotion.

Everything which has been released, so far, looks terribly superficial. Even the lighting and choreography is alarmingly similar to the 'Transformers' movies, except with dinosaur-looking things in it. I'd even, somewhat regretfully, say that the soundtrack is less iconic/memorable, which isn't exactly helping matters, either.

Doesn't mean it couldn't be awesome. I'll be going to see it because there's a cinema almost at the end of my road now and am going to reserve my judgement, but if you forced me to say what I'm expecting, based on what I've seen? Yeah... Some fist-fights which could just as easily have been done with people (one of the disadvantages of having robots which look like nothing more than scaled up human beings) and maybe a few bits of witty banter. But that makes it no different to the Bay/Sommers stuff already out there.

Could be a good addition to those types of films, sure, but still an awful lot like them.

And, yes, I honestly hope I'll be pleasantly surprised. But blame for the general perception of PM needs to be put on the studio (or possibly the director if the film really is as superficial as it looks).

Relatively trivial difference, at best. If you hadn't known the director's name, I'd be willing to bet real money that most people would assume it had been done by Michael Bay or Stephen Sommers. Even the pilot suits look frightfully similar to the 'GI Joe' ones.

What's the difference? A human piloting a robot, fighting a big monster. Cheesy lines, and flashy effects to boot.

Silly fun right?

:-*

If 'Aliens' had revolved around nothing but multiple powerloader fights, that might have been something close to an apt analogy.

But it didn't. :)

Don't fret I agree. I don't consider Aliens just silly fun, and until I see the film I won't consider Pacific Rim silly fun either.

The phrases 'Adam Sandler' and 'domination' should never be used in the same sentence.

Best as I can tell, the cartoons were apparently out in 1995. Stuff like 'Gobots' and, yes, 'Transformers', were doing it way before then. As was the UK Marvel comic adaptation of 'Zoids', which revolved around cybernetic humanoid pilots inside the heads of giant mechanical dinosaurs and other animal designs from the ancient world.

http://www.zoidstar.bloodforthebaron.com/comics.html (http://www.zoidstar.bloodforthebaron.com/comics.html)

Takes a little while to get going, but most of the storyline was astonishingly mature, considering it was aimed at young children (the part where their version of 'heaven' turned out to practically be hell was a real mind-f**k).

There was also this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godaikin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godaikin)

I had a toy from that line, but never had a clue what the stories were about. Really nice quality, though! Lots of sturdy metal, as opposed to the plastic Transformers. Remember being really disappointed that they were no longer available in most toy shops by the time I could get another of them!

Mechs that are fighting unknown monsters from an unknown place. That's about the only similarity. Evangelion just happens to be widely viewed by most otakus as the epitome of mecha shows.

So ... When Harry Met Sally is about a Giant Monster named Harry who can't commit and goes around wrecking all his relationships with his disregard for viewing women as anything other than friends he wants to bang. And Sally is a giant robot who meticulously dismantles all her relationships by being a hyper control freak who can't order a meal without confusing the waiter. Can these two find love together? Or will they destroy each other? And the world?

I don't have Gipsy Danger, so I can't exactly say anything for that, but Knifehead lacks articulation in areas I feel he should. I feel like he should've had wrist articulation, and maybe ball jointed shoulders. His second set of arms is also completely solid, with no articulation what so ever. The way his articulation is set up, and the way he's molded, makes it hard to get any dynamic poses out of him.

Crimson Typhoon has more articulation, but for whatever reason, while the arm in the back(on the side with 2 arms) has a ball jointed shoulder and can move around freely, the arm in the front, despite being the same mold, does not. That, in addition to some limited wrist articulation, makes posing him somewhat underwhelming.

I'm interested to see how this opens on Friday.  Last I heard they were working frantically to increase awareness and differentiate it from Transformers.  Apparently, Grown Ups 2 has more awareness and interest going in.  Then again that is a sequel with Adam Sandler but still disconcerting.  I'm going in with low expectations.  The trailers do nothing for me, the acting is wooden and overwrought and I loathe seeing two CGI shiny/blurry things fighting on screen.

Maybe they're meant to?  They certainly don't look like anything that'd provide much protection from anything sharper than a ballpoint pen.

A number of bits of the trailer look impressive.  At least impressive enough for something that looks monumentally cheezy overall.

So looking forward to this film. Can't believe all the reports of Grown ups 2 tracking better than this. I checked Apple trailers and Pacific Rim was the second most popular trailer there while Grown Ups 2 was like 7th.

Pacific Rim also has 3 different trailers with over five million views each so I am sure (hoping) it will get a decent sized audience.

"In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the *new*. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations. The new needs friends. Last night, I experienced something new: an extraordinary meal from a singularly unexpected source. To say that both the meal and its maker have challenged my preconceptions about fine cooking is a gross understatement. They have rocked me to my core."

There are ways to make plastics look metallic. Or they could've just given them a thin layer of metal coating if they needed them to be light. It's odd that they didn't.

So, a week before opening, and they release another full trailer.
I hope, after the dust settles, somebody writes about how Legendary and Warners tried to overcome poor tracking numbers with a marketing blitz and a shift of focus in the trailers from 'cool effects, yay' to 'cool effects, yay, oh and also there are people in the robots we should care about.' Hope it works.
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: scarhunter92 on Jul 08, 2013, 02:59:23 PM
Well, their job is to sell the film. I don't blame them for releasing a blizzard of trailers after getting poor tracking numbers. It's the logic thing anyone who didn't want a movie to flop would do, along with other marketing strategies.
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: Alienseseses on Jul 08, 2013, 03:03:09 PM
I don't blame them either. If anything, I'm fascinated to see the strategies involved. When the tracking numbers came in, they clearly decided there was something wrong with how they were selling the film and doubtlessly held dozens of meetings to figure out what the problem was and what approach they should take. And it seems like the approach they chose, in the end, was to showcase the characters more, if not too much.

That's assuming there's enough of that in the actual movie. I've got no dog in this race, but aside from some nudge-nudge, wink-wink from those involved, there's been nothing to suggest we should expect to care much about the characters.

Let's not forget how similar promises were made with 'Requiem' and 'Colonial Marines', yeah?

I'm going to watch 'Independence Day' the night before and hope to at least get a similar high of fun from this. If I can sit back and enjoy it as a mindless way to spend a bit of money, I won't be disappointed. Wrapping your dreams up in a gamble is the surest way to feel emotionally betrayed.

Again, I'm not making a judgement or statement about the film itself. I haven't seen the film. I'm just talking about the advertising approach. Maybe there's nothing there at all. But the ads have definitely moved the focus to the people in the robot suits late in the game.

I think the success of this film essentially estabilishes whether del Toro will be able to get At the Mountains of Madness off the ground or not. Enormous budget for an original idea; it's a bet of terrific proportions. If Pacific Rim does well, a studio might realize the potential in At the Mountains of Madness.

And for that reason alone I want a marvelous success for Pacific Rim.

The Avengers, despite being predictable as all hell is at 92%.

Ah, yes. Your quote defending the clarity and comprehensibility of a film you haven't seen yet.

I assume he's speaking from a visual standpoint (camera angles that showcase a subject without unnecessary shaking and blurriness, classical editing used to convey a situation without jumping around.) Which may or may not be evident in the final film, but the clips and trailers seem to support the notion that whether or not the story makes sense, the actions on screen will be understandable.

Seem to.

To contrast: Man of Steel was full of unneeded handheld jitteryness and random zooms, and the editing was often disjointed. The shots were too quick, and certain key establishing shots were missing.

According to the reviews, a lot of the distortion comes from the fight scenes that take place underwater. I haven't seen any clips of that, so I couldn't say.


And I found that some of the fight scenes we've seen in the rain, although very stylish, kinda obscured my view of the fight.

I could be wrong, but the water fights, while obscured in darkness and water, aren't all over the place in terms of cinematography and editing. We might not be able to make out details, but we should get the big picture.

This movie definitely seems like its going to be love it or hate it, which is fine. I just hope that, once it comes out, we don't have fans yelling that the haters 'didn't get it' and haters proclaiming that those who liked it have 'terrible taste'.

Nah... I think that once the first few days have gone by, people will know how it's like. It won't be divisive. People will finally understand in what category to put it.

If it truly raises the bar, then good for the people who made it. If it does that, it'll be a success, no question. There are just a lot of... Conflicting messages about it right now, y'know? All the promotional stuff makes it out to be superficial and vapid, but most people also know the director's work isn't typically like that.

Oddly, the theater that usually invites me to pre-screenings isn't doing one for Pacific Rim. Their Prometheus and Dark Knight Rises pre-screenings were fantastic. Liquor, food, everyone looking very sharp/glamorous. Nothing like watching a new movie with some steak and Chianti. :)

If I can be entertained by 'Pearl Harbor', I can be entertained by this.

This Summer's blockbuster season has been strangely underwhelming. It'd be nice if this is a pleasant surprise.

There... Positivity.

QuoteThe squarest, clunkiest and certainly loudest movie of director Guillermo del Toro's career, a crushed-metal orgy that plays like an extended 3D episode of "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" on very expensive acid.

QuoteGlorified Power Rangers specials don't need to unfold over 131 endless minutes.

QuoteMichael Bay eat your heart out. Guillermo del Toro has made one bigger, louder, faster and more destructive than you. Pacific Rim is Transformers on steroids, Godzilla to the power of 10, The Avengers turbo-charged and bigger-suited than Iron Man

QuoteMonsters. Robots. Two iconic adolescent elements beating the living **** out of one another. The rest is set dressing, for, at its core, we've got Kaiju vs. Jaeger, beasts versus mechanical brawn.

QuotePacific Rim's wafer-thin psychodrama and plot-generator dialogue provides little for the human component to get their teeth into.

QuoteA visually striking film but hollowed-hearted.

So basically there's lots of CGI, it's like an overlong expensive episode of a rebooted Power Rangers and nobody seems to be mentioning anything in the way of substance - because, maybe there isn't any? Lulz.

Oh, and it's better than Transformers!!!1! Because apparently that makes a film good now. :laugh:

Man of Steel was also largely an effects-fest with thin characters and overwhelming action sequences. But that was panned, and this isn't.
Which means that this must be doing something right, even if they both receive similar complaints.

Maybe the difference is how much it takes itself seriously.

QuoteWhat makes Pacific Rim work isn't one character or Jaeger or kaiju (although I think we'll all have our favorites for sure), it's the way del Toro and Beacham bring them all together. This is a movie about teamwork, about sacrifice and about getting past the bullshit to do something important and difficult. It's a rousing movie about the way human beings can set their mind to something and accomplish it.

QuoteA wholesome tale of courage, sacrifice and heart that feels as old-fashioned, well-worn and outmoded as the Gipsy Danger itself.

Quote
"The deeper the bond, the better you fight," explains ace pilot Raleigh Becket. That's a mantra more blockbusters would do well to bear in mind.

Quote
A huge, CGI-heavy popcorner that still feels personal. Come for the epic monster-on-mecha showdowns, stay for the likeable humans.

Quote
del Toro introduces a robots-versus-monsters scenario that includes the same sort of nerdy details and sci-fi jargon as its overcomplicated brethren, but under del Toro it all makes sense - and even better, he makes us care about it.

Lots of people see the heart of the movie.

Interesting part:
QuoteA major concern in designing the big computer-animated fight scenes between the Kaiju and the Jaegers was to avoid "impossible camera angles" or mysterious light sources, says Knoll, who's also Industrial Light and Magic's chief creative officer.

With a movie like this, that wasn't a sequel or extension of an existing property, ILM's people had some freedom to "develop the look of the film, independent of anything else," without having an existing stylebook imposed on them, says Knoll. Which meant they could push for way more realism than usual with the shots and the photography style.

So for example, this gave ILM a chance to make sure that every CG shot in the film seemed like it was filmed with a real camera. Knoll kept saying, "In theory, this one

is shot from a boat, this is a helicopter shot, [and] this is a guy on the street, so it should have a little bit of a handheld thing." These choices informed the type of lens that was being simulated as well as the motion of the camera.

Likewise, del Toro and the ILM artists were keen to avoid having any light in the shots that didn't have a key source. In some sequences, there are helicopters with floodlights that illuminate the action, like flying key grips. "I'm always looking for motivated light sources," says Knoll.

Dis art piece. Just for me and Space Sweeper:

My initial obsession came from Guillermo Del Toro and giant monsters much more than it did giant robots, but having seen the trailers and whatnot I very quickly came to absolutely love the world that they have put together for this film; the look neon lit city, the design and function of the Jaegers, the mystery and premise behind the portal in the ocean...all of it looks and sounds fantastic, and I can not wait to immerse myself in this ridiculous-yet-spectacular world come Friday.

From what I hear, Pacific Rim actually allows the shots to linger for longer than 1 second, since it doesn't have a 10 year old on speed working the camera.

I dunno, the "world" that is being set up in Pacific Rim doesn't really seem to carry more weight than the one Bay did in Transformers. We know from the reviews that the characterization is going to be below average-to-average stuff, like Transformers. And of course, it's going to have the same kind of constant action-plus-boom-crash-pow-noise that Transformers possessed.

Really, the only things that Pacific Rim seems to be excelling where Transformers failed at is the choreography of the fight scenes, dialogue that doesn't require me to reduce my IQ to endure, and impeccable style that suits the fights.


As long as PR has that, then we're in good shape.

There's a chance you'll like both franchises.

I'm assuming you're saying, don't fix what ain't broke, fair enough. But if how can you like Transformers but think this looks "rubbish."

From the io9 article:

Quote"It was not Guillermo del Toro's intent to evoke Earth creatures with the kaiju," says Barlowe.

But then in the same paragraph...

Quote"the vetting process was based solely on what would look intimidating to the viewer," he says — so if there was a particularly scary creature that had an analogue on Earth, it did get advanced on that basis alone.

Lol, so we didn't try to invoke Earth animals during design, but then evoked Earth animals...

I'm really excited to see this film, but I find the areas of design and SFX in general to just be so stagnant and derivative that even a mediocre attempt at creativity is met with praise. I like the Pac Rim monsters so far, sure, but I don't think they've really 'pushed any boundaries' of monster design.

The hammer and knife-edge head have been done to death for years, in the Final Fantasy series just to name one off the top of my head, and Del Toro's designs were unique.. about the first 20 times we saw them. Now they look like, well, Del Toro's designs. You can recognize them easily for the most part.

Just some thoughts. I think we still have a long way to go before we recover enough to see some genuine, unbridled creativity really take off in mainstream entertainment.

Struck me too.

Generally I tend to think that they should evoke animals but only subtly. Like it's not just a gorilla but a reptilian furless armor-plated six-eyed bioluminescent gorilla with biological EMP emitter.

Indeed, I don't see the negative to "Adult Power Rangers" either.

Same here. Power Rangers is pretty campy, but their Japanese counter parts are much serious expect for a few of them. Giant robots vs. giant monsters is what makes Super Sentai/Power Rangers so awesome. The only thing that this movie has in common with Super Sentai/Power Rangers is that they have giant robots fightings giant monsters. Other then that, they have nothing in common.

Can only see the rt value rising critics are like sheep.

For a summer blockbuster the plot works which is more than most modern releases, it's very simple, but has a little bit of meat on the bones, at it's core the film is essentially about human relationships.

It homages so many geek properties, here are some not so obvious ones.

Hongkong looks like bladerunners LA the umbrellas in particular,

The religious fanatics in HK look like the ones in Akira,

More obvious ones are a couple id4 elements

Charlie day is pretty much "Ian Malcolm" from Jurassic park.

At the end there is a direct homage to alien.

The dialogue level is about starwars a new hope level, it's a bit cheesy but you can tell the actors are aware of this, and are having a pretty good time with it.

Honestly if you like your movies a little geeky there is pretty much no way your gonna have a bad time,

I had a massive smile the entire way though, the fight scenes aren't boring, most large action set peices bore the living shit out me, didnt happen with this.

My only real complaint was the woeful Aussie accents, but if you aren't Australian you won't notice.

I swear Deltoro put a comando reference in the film aswell.

The Shatterdome (I think that's what it's called, that or The Wall) looks a lot like NERV HQ with all of the holograms/projections and mecha 'cages', so that alone is giving me a bunor. Can't wait to see it, your review basically sold me on everything I wanted from this.

I heard that the movie opens up with a flashback narration. Does Karloff (https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/1005888_688684327825463_1502653955_n.jpg) appear in that?

You can still like something which is generic. :)

Case in point: Leatherback. The design is basically a reptilian ape. Nothing stopping you from liking it (personally, I don't), but that doesn't change how generic it is.

A lot of the 'Lord Of The Rings' movies had very generic designs, too. Doesn't mean they were bad, as movies, but it's difficult to argue that most of what was on screen, creature-wise, was much of a deviation from the 'scaly barbarian dude in armour' template.

It's a bit different for this film, obviously, because it revolves largely around the visual spectacle of going up against the monsters, themselves. It's not getting sold on politics or a supernatural quest or anything like that. The monster designs are not secondary to the plot.

With that said, don't get me wrong, I am going to see it and am hoping for the best, entertainment-wise.

Not to mention the above three things absolutely steal the scene.

It's not generic in that it's been done before, it's generic in that it's basically a re-skinning of one terrestrial creature with the texture of another terrestrial creature. It doesn't have a huge amount going on that's unique. (although I do like his face)

This is why I wrote much of what was seen, not all. :)

Regardless! I was using it as an example of why there can be generic creature designs in something, but where the movie they're in can still be amazing to someone.

QuoteWith an EMP emitter, bioluminescence, six eyes, twin crests, writhing tentacles on the back of the head.

Those are cosmetic differences, though.

I can put a bald female figure in a CGI scene. I can also put a female figure in it, beside her, who has clothing, face-paint, long hair and is carrying weapons. One couldn't argue they look the same, but it would still be obvious that the differences aren't enough to distinguish them as different 'things'. Your brain would still register them as female human beings.

Leatherback is essentially just a hairless version of King Kong. It might have a different number of eyes, different colour and have a few other minor things, but if you drew it on a page, that's essentially what it is. Whether or not it can breathe fire or emit an EMP is to do with the script, not the creature designer.

Doesn't mean it won't look realistic. Doesn't mean it won't look amazing, even - for what it is. But in terms of raw creature design, it seems lazy and uninspired.

On the other hand, I recognise this director as being one of the few who could take something which looks relatively normal and do amazing things with it on screen. I'm not shitting on the film. I really hope it'll wow me. It's just that some of the basic designs, like Leatherback, make me raise an eyebrow, considering what the budget was.

Same as my impression of the Deacon in 'Prometheus'. To me, it looked incredibly basic and uninspiring. Others might think otherwise. The moment I saw Leatherback, I knew you could size up the Deacon, have it rampage through a city and would fit in perfectly.

Those are cosmetic differences, though. [...]
By the same token, is the Predator a generic design -- since it's basically a humanoid figure with reptilian skin and a fancy head?
Examples abound here.

Quote from: Xenomorphine on Jul 09, 2013, 11:17:38 PM
Whether or not it can breathe fire or emit an EMP is to do with the script, not the creature designer.
But most film designs start from a script, and the 'emp' could be emitted without an anatomical correspondence -- instead we have this bizarre protrusion on the back. It's different to just it being emitted.

Yes.

But as Xenomorphine said in that same post, that doesn't mean it's not a good design, or well done. A point you seem to keep skipping over. He's not attacking them :-\

I don't think that being able to break down a design into a few specific 'bases' makes it generic. for example I don't think the Predator is generic. I'm just comparing opinions; it is decidedly interesting to see different points of view on the matter, especially when I want to enter in the field of creature design.

My theater is doing 7:00 and 10:00 showings tomorrow night as opposed to a midnight release.
Same, probably going to the 7:00 showing.
The advantage to having actual theaters. :'(

Here's kind of what it's like going to mine:

QuoteLegendary is in the unique position in that they have the resources to take risks, which I think has really benefited PACIFIC RIM. They were open to putting something out in the world. When I grew up in the '80s, you had these sort of original action-adventure sci-fi movies all the time: GHOSTBUSTERS, E.T., BACK TO THE FUTURE... all of this stuff constantly. It breaks my heart that you don't really see that anymore. I hope that we're entering a new phase. We certainly can't be more reliant on stuff from other mediums. There's only one direction to go in.

Just got back from my second viewing, Charlie hunnmam is a pretty woeful in it, tends to take it a little too seriously whilst the rest of the cast keep it semi tongue in cheek.

Still a fun ride, I'll probably watch it again next viewing is definitely going to be 2d.

Allow me to put on my 'suprised' eyebrows.... In his defence I like him in Sons of Anarchy, but I'm still trying to wipe Green Street from my memory.  Though Guillermo Del Toro with Ron Pearlman can pretty much make up for anything

Was never really originally made with 3d in mind , apparently the parallax messes with the scale, also the glasses do make it, too dark at times.

Was never really originally made with 3d in mind , apparently the parallax messes with the scale, also the glasses do make it, too dark at times.


It looked legit at my theater. The right things "popped" without looking forced, and lighting wasn't an issue at any point for me. Were you in the 3d "sweet spot", in the middle of the theater? Maybe it's very temperamental 3d?

I don't like the darkness either. Watching Man of Steel in 3D was too much at times.

I prefer 2D as well, but my little theater probably doesnt have the best 3D setup.

1 day baby! WOOO!

Seems like my local theaters have more showings per-day of Grown Ups 2 than Pacific Rim. Might have something to do with Running time. Might have something to do with the tracking.  :-\

But I have yet to see an intelligent review that is disappoint with the film. And the only context that I'm hearing about Grown Ups 2 is how it's coming out the same weekend as Pacific Rim. As if there is nothing else that warrants mentioning it!  :laugh:

Good man. I used to hate 3d passionately, but watching Prometheus 3 times in 3d got me use to it. Now I quite like it if it's subtle.

Prometheus is probably has the best use of 3d I've seen, also helps it was shot natively in it, and not a post conversion.

Straya'bot does a fair bit too, although yes, the American Jaeger gets the most screen time. This isn't even a spoiler so don't anyone complain.

Returned from it now!

Let me start by saying that those who felt the film would be 'generic' et al most probably would not turn their wheel by seeing the film -- there is nothing of a real 'game changer' there. So trust me and do not bother with it.

Those that have seen the trailers and look forward to it? You are going in for an absolute, great blast.

Those with children should definitely try to bring them in too; it's a film adaptable to a wide audience, and most probably you will be bringing them to what will be their Star Wars, or their Jurassic Park.

Let me resume briefly by saying that Pacific Rim is a film made with heart, and you can feel every particle of that heart and passion infused into the film as you watch it.

Everything is there, and fans of both robots and monsters will see recognizable genre characteristics in the film -- from the massive hangars releasing the robots (Mazinger et al) to giant claws smashing the ground, there is something for everyone.

The design of it all is amazing; perhaps a pair of the creatures should have been elaborated more, but the overall appearence and look and feeling of the film is massive and absolutely breath-taking.

That, and Ron Perlman.

Now for some spoilery-spoilerity-spoilers:
Spoiler
It might be because of the scope and scale of the Hong Kong battle, but the final fight felt like it should have been longer. Would have wanted a more focused fight with Slattern too; he's

And I still think Raiju should have had a different head, but at least you do not see that much of him.
[close]

Definitely going to see it again. :)


Ps. for Nightmare Asylum: Otachi is every bit as insane as you want it to be. Definitely my favourite bugger from the film!

I did!

Spoiler
In the scene Hannibal makes his way out of the corpse of the baby Kaiju; once he cuts through he comes out partially and says, "where is my Goddamn shoe!"

VERY funny moment I really waited for. I knew something like that was going to happen the moment Hannibal was eaten.

We see 2 visions of it that might be better seen in detail in Blu-Ray with a frame-by-frame function of a remote, and a look at the Anteverse at the end. Nothing really extensive but definitely very suggestive.

Brother Omega's spoiler-free review's managed to encapsulate everything I needed to know. :)

Just rewatched 'Independence Day' to put myself in the mood for fun thrill-ride entertainment.

Guess the next few hours will either show me if the blockbuster bar's been raised or if this is 'Battleship Versus Red Tails'...

Post by: Alienseseses on Jul 12, 2013, 05:20:09 AM
Because there's so much I liked, I'm just going to mention the thing I didn't like. Because it's just one thing, and it's entirely based on my preconceptions.

Spoiler
In the script I read, Mako and Raleigh are both predisposed to hating each other and have to learn to love each other so the drift could work. In this movie, they discarded that and went straight for Mako wanting to work with Raleigh and vice versa. So I missed that detail. But you know what?
[close]

That's not fair to the movie. Because the movie went for something different, and did so in a fricking fantastic way. This was Fun with a capital Eff.

When the credits rolled, some people behind me said "The action was great, but the character development was terrible!"
You know? I don't agree. It wasn't Shakespeare, but it wore its heart on its sleeve. A beating heart. Maybe it went for the cliche, the known, the obvious, but that's exactly what the movie needed so it could work, and boy did it work.

Spoiler
I got really emotional in the scene where young Mako is crying as she outruns the kaiju that killed her parents.

thats probably the most emotionally visceral part of the film (when you get good kid actors its great ) , and interestingly enough one of the only daytime battles shown in the film.

SO Eva. Also totally got the NERV HQ vibes at the Shatterdome; the scene where Mako gets lost in the drift and arms the Plasma Caster reminded me a lot of Rei pushing the barriers in Unit 00 and having it lose its shit. The combat sync compatibility aspect also called back some Shinji/Asuka from the 'dance' episode, and some stuff from 3.33 that's even more similar in nature. Was practically nutting when I noticed the pilots shared a nerve connection with the machine (losing an arm, no less).

I'll admit the two scientists bugged me at first, but in the end I think they stole the show.

Not a spoiler, because it's not in the film: In the original script, instead of Newt and Gottlieb, it was Newt and nobody. He was a nerdy not-so-funny scientist who teamed up with Raleigh Antrobus's reporter ex-girlfriend to track down a scientist in the Australian outback so they can learn how to destroy the rift. Of course, the crazy scientist had drifted with a kaiju brain, saw the Anteverse, and went insane, so he detonated a nuke that Newt and ex-girlfriend barely escaped.

I had no issue with this in the script, but I much prefer what they ended up doing.

For anybody who's interested, there are two episodes of The Nerdist Podcast featuring interviews with Charlie Hunnam and another with Charlie Day, and both episodes are absolutely hilarious, insightful, and a lot of fun to listen to (Charlie Hunnam tells a great story passed down from Ron Perlman about the time Perlman got to work with Marlon Brando that had my dying with laughter).

My spoiler-free review (as seen in the 'Last Movie You Watched' thread):

Quote
Pacific Rim

So much has already been said for this movie that my two cents seem miniscule when cast into the sea, or fountain, if you will, of positivity. Either way, I got my wish and more: this movie was thoroughly and utterly f**king awesome.

Guillermo Del Toro's end result is exactly what he set out to provide; a throbbing love letter dripping with Kaiju blood, sizzling scorch marks and all. It's raw, beautifully executed, unfiltered fun from beginning to end and never fails to provide awe-inducing visuals and full of moments to make the crowd go wild (and, at my screening at least, they did). Cynics disturbed by thoughtful, large scale fun, keep your admission money tucked in your pocket.

From the imposing Jaegers and Kaiju to the grandiose set designs, it's a truly impressive piece of world building that drops you right into a world that gives a true sense of one that has already been in motion before you got to the theater. Off-hand references to operations, battles, and practices give life to the world in ways reminiscent of Blade Runner (a favorite of screenwriter Travis Beacham's, and clearly paid homage to in the massive future Hong Kong sets). Everything flows together perfectly, from CGI to practical sets and elements, the transition is difficult to note with such a strong visual coherence compliments of Guillermo Del Toro's vision and the work from his favored cinematographer Guillermo Navarro and the masters at ILM.

The fights between the Kaiju and Jaegers are breathtaking; it was impossible for me to get rid of the wide grin plastered across my face. Sometimes it wasn't a matter of grinning at all, but a gaping mouth, which I sometimes found myself covering with one hand, holding back a joyous 'holy shit' or 'f**k yeah'-- there were kids present. A few rows down from me was a kid who had clearly dragged the rest of his family to the movie, devoted to see it at the local premiere showing. I couldn't help but see some of myself in him, dragging my mom, dad, and brothers to something like Jurassic Park III back in 2001. Half of the movie he was leaning forward in his seat invested in both the monster vs machine spectacle and human drama in between. So was I; a mind-meld of marveling at the screen in front of us. Him and his mom sat through the credits (likely forced), as I did, and at the end, something I wasn't expecting (though I feel as though I should have) happened-- he turned around and excitedly asked me what I thought of the movie.

I must have taken a moment to respond, because this was one of those moments that I find surreal in nature, and possibly the greatest note to leave the theater on. I told him that I loved it, and he asked what my favorite Jaeger was; told him that I thought it was going to be Crimson Typhoon, but came out more of a Striker Eureka fan (obviously explained a bit of the details on how I had all of this foreknowledge); apparently I wasn't the only one anticipating it because his mom said that he had basically been losing his shit for the past six months or so months in anticipation as well. Reminded me of my first days on the internet, scrounging for the slightest bits of JP3 news. We shared a couple favorite moments and parted ways, leaving me to stew over how about I would express this properly in my review. I think this does the job-- but what about the other aspects of the film?

The cast is strong and charismatic, all one could hope for from a proper summer blockbuster. Relatability, a sincere emotional center, effective comic relief (compliments of Charlie Day, who plays his character delightfully, and always great companions, Ron Perlman and Burn Gorman), and a sense that all that were involved were just having a blast during production. It really shows. Genre tropes are all very self-aware and in good fun, not distracting from the overall integrity of the film, and making themselves known (and appropriately placed). Speaking of genre, this is one of the best event films to come out in over ten years, if not the best.

Seeing something like this coming out of a western production company is great and refreshing. I had to dodge a maze of awful posters and standees as I made my way to the screen room featuring merde the likes of 'Slo No Mo', 'Grown Ups 2', and 'The Smurfs 2'; luckily I settled into my seat before my sanity barriers were pushed beyond the limits and caused me to risk mental contamination. If we could get more blockbusters like Pacific Rim, full of genuine care and skillfully produced assets, the market wouldn't be so saturated with this other groan-inducing, brain-dead trash.

Speaking of bringing something refreshing to western audiences, it was a marvel to see Pacific Rim's influences brought to life, both with a great realization of today's modern visual technology (Godzilla, Gamera, etc.), and eliminating the need for redundant anime adaptations with all of the right mecha inspirations where they should be (G Gundam, Evangelion, Gunbuster, etc.)-- in an original property. The combination is sheer bliss; a fetishistic experience for fans of any of the genres that the film draws from.

I think I've exhausted this well of love at the moment; much further would be into the spoiler tags, and there's always more discussion to be had-- so I'll keep that out of this review to prevent a one-sided conversation and say this: if at any time elements of this film had you interested, and you walk in with rational expectations -- you will not be disappointed. The trailers could not even do the shots justice; I might as well have been seeing them for the first time in the theater. This is one of the great movie-going experiences to be had.

This sits comfortably beside Star Trek Into Darkness as a 2013 favorite of mine, and hopefully a step toward the reclamation of great summer blockbusters. One can always hope.

Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: SiL on Jul 12, 2013, 11:56:44 AM
Pacific Rim tells of the heartfelt, engaging story of a single father, the son he struggled to raise on his own and who he fears never knew the love he felt, and the drama that unfolds between each other and their commanding officer as they pilot a 120-odd storey robot in an epic global war against a terrifying, near-incomprehensible alien threat.

Unfortunately the main characters of the film are a piece of wood with an American accent who speaks exclusively in painfully written action movie clichés and the slightly more animated Japanese piece of wood that speaks in slightly fewer clichés, but whose entire motivation is as unoriginal as it is vaguely racist by this point in history. Of course the Asian lead is fighting to avenge her family. Of course. What the f**k else do Asian characters in Hollywood movies fight for? This is, presumably, the same reason the Chinese pilots are fighting; regrettably their only real dialogue is to announce the name of a move that the movie tells us is really cool, but which does precisely f**k-all the one time it's ever actually shown.

See, with big, dumb, fun movies, there's one key element tying everything together; a sympathetic protagonist. Someone we root for. Someone we actually want to see win. Someone we wish to survive whatever horrors and challenges they face.

And Pacific Rim has this.

In its supporting cast.

I liked this movie. I really, really liked this movie. Loved it, even. I may well watch it again in cinemas. But the only reason I like it -- the only reason I can stand its big, dumb, lowest common denominator fun is that three of the side characters are interesting, sympathetic humans. Had I been expected to give a shit about the lead I would hate this movie with a fiery passion for having wasted two hours of my life. Raleigh is not this. He is thoroughly dull, uninteresting, and uncharismatic. Every word out of his mouth is some painfully trite, unconvincing Action Movie Line. At no point does he come across as an actual human being; he is, every frame of this movie, a poorly crafted character stapled together from the absolute worst scraps of action movie history.

Mako isn't much better. Which, I suppose, is why they're a good match for a piloting pair; neither character develops in any meaningful way -- or, really, in any way -- neither is particularly likeable or even memorable, and they're both fueled by the most uninspired, lazy character motivations this side of rescuing the damsel in distress.

There is a neat, interesting human story here, and it is better played, better written, and, well, generally better than most of the tripe we get in this genre. As obnoxious as the Australian son was to start with, himself playing a paint-by-numbers antagonistic foil to our "heroes", he at least has some kind of arc. He does, perhaps, simply start in one cliché and end in another, but at least he's not the same tool he is to start with. Shit goes down, he changes. His character develops. His father perhaps lacks a distinct arc, but he's at least portrayed as perhaps the most human of the lot. I can believe he is a real person making real decisions.

And the same goes for Stacker Pentecost; while the film's advertisement fairly well pisses all over the film's attempt at giving him a mysterious past, he too is presented as an actual person, someone whose prior and current experiences are genuinely motivating his course of action. We care because he has his reasons, and they're sympathetic ones.

As for the rest? There's really not much more to say. The fights are Transformers-level incomprehensible in some shots (One of the action shots in the very first battle is effectively nothing but visual noise as a Kaiju bites into a Jaeger), but they're big and loud and thoroughly entertaining. It was strange that the climactic battle felt less, well, climactic than the film's midway turning point (Certainly it felt much shorter and less intense), but when it comes to giant monster arse-kickings, this film delivers precisely what it says on the tin.

I recommend it, particularly for Australians, because Jesus are we the only things this film has going for it at the end of the day.

Spoiler
Anyone else think "Futurama" at both Raleigh's brother's name, Yancy, and Raleigh giving Mako his air-hose at the end? Of all the nods and references to other sci-fi, those were the ones that hit me loudest.

Yeah, the film really ... really doesn't play out that way for a lot of it.

There's one really nice character moment towards the end of the film between the father/son team, and then it cuts to Raleigh, and it's the most depressingly laughable jump from sincere character development to painfully bad stereotypes. Ugh :P

QuoteWere the 2 scientists and Ron Perlman as fun as advertised? :P
Ron Perlman has like five minutes of screentime in which he does basically nothing; one of the two scientists far outstays his welcome despite having maybe ten minutes screentime; and the other scientist is juuust the right mix of comic relief and not there much.

Nice review sweepa.


Sil

i think Raleigh's lines would have been a little more palatable if they gotten someone who could play the part with the right tone, Hunnam played it way too straight and was generally uncharismatic as an actor, also could hear his english accent poking through. 

The Aussies were just as big if not bigger cliche's with terrible lines, i think i could cop it because they had such woeful accents (which im beginning to believe was done on purpose lol) but ultimately nearly all the characters were live action cartoon characters.

True, but I actually gave a crap about the Australian characters. They tempered their painful lines with things actual human beings would really say, and I'd sooner the patriotism and father-son dynamic than "DEY KILD MA BRA/PA!" as a character's entire motivation.

No, i get the feeling it was a choice by both Beacham and Del toro to give it a broader appeal, apparently del toro cut an hour of character dev from the film, it may have been in that, probably a little too esoteric for modern audiences :P

I have been skeptical of this movie for a while.
I love silly fun as much as the next person. Hell, Big Trouble in Little China is one of my favorite movies, and that is nothing but Blockbuster bait. The trailers for Rim only served to trigger some rather unpleasant Michael Bay flashbacks, sadly none relating to The Rock.
However, last night I read a little article by Omegazilla about the creatures in the movie. As I was reading something very odd happened. The topic of the article actually became very intriguing. Sitting down and reading the article immediately took me back to a time when the old Japanese Godzilla movies were the best thing in the world. The Big Guy was always a personal hero and watching him kick some other giant creature's ass and level Tokyo for the umpteenth time was always buckets of fun for any ten year old with a pair. You know what? Maybe recapturing that feeling is well worth the price of a movie ticket. So Pacific Rim, I'll be seeing you later.

I thought the portal was pretty interesting. It was an organic world, closed off yet full of bioluminescence. The machines were interesting in that they didn't look like machines, and the Precursor aliens had an interesting gait to them. I'll admit the actual aliens looked very Independence Day, but that didn't bug me so much because they felt fully realized.

Great review...agree with every word he said.

According to Box Office Mojo....It open up on Thursday night in the US with $3.6 million and now it may open well north of $50 million in the US this weekend....no numbers yet for around the world.

Damned f**king right. If this film flopped, I was going to divorce Hollywood and become one of those indie movie snob losers that shits all over everything on principle...

My largely spoiler-free review (wrapped in a spoiler tag purely for ease of scrolling by):

Spoiler
Back from 'Pacific Rim'... Just as formulaic as the adverts implied. Unfortunately, as I suspected, the music's not particularly memorable, meaning it failed to give me much of an emotional high - something the likes of 'Independence Day' and 'Jurassic Park' positively excelled at. Music is at least 50% of what can cause an audience to emotionally/psychologically engage with a character's journey and, aside from the 'marching-towards-victory-in-giant-robots' theme, none of it struck me as particularly memorable.

Ron Perlman and Idris Elba do convincing turns as their respective characters, but Perlman has so little screen time that it's almost a cameo and Elba, while acting well enough, veers between pounding speeches and quiet, reserved strength, with very little emotional ground in between (not the actor's fault; it's the script he has to work with).

The primary characters, you won't care for and the scientific and military inaccuracies/plot-holes are sometimes unintentionally hilarious (nuclear technology = analogue? What?). Not as much as the weirdly ridiculous names the characters are, though... Seriously, 'Stacker Pentecost'? 'Hercules Hansen'? One character after another, all with names like that. Honest to God, they reminded me of the cast list from the original 'Alien' script and made me wonder if it originally started out as a parody.

Here's the thing... Part of the way through, you realise that it's not actually a robots-versus-aliens story, but the director dressing up old mediaeval-knights-versus-dragons tales in futuristic CGI (minus the sacrificial maiden element). Doesn't mean it's a bad idea, but the moment you get that, it's obvious why the 'science' part of the science-fiction was thrown out the window.

And, no, there's sod all to explain why we started building giant robots in the first place, just like there's no real clarification for why two pilots are needed for technology which amounts to a giant puppeteering rig (or why a pilot is incapable of controlling more than one limb). Or even why it couldn't all be done by remote, drone-style. In fact, you'd be forgiven for asking yourself where the hell all the submarines, bombers and artillery have vanished to. Relax... Forget about real-world military strategy and hardware. In this world, it doesn't really exist and those of you who WTFed at adverts where stealth fighters closed to fire guns at a King Kong-sized monstrosity, won't find solace here. Don't ask yourself why humanity didn't simply put nuclear mines around an interdimensional portal lying at the bottom of the ocean. The movie really is just an excuse to have big, dumb robotic fist-fights (which can be entertaining, but if they're same-y, they only have so much shelf-life). In fact, the film doesn't even explain why everyone outside of Japan and Germany have all started collectively calling these things 'kaiju' and 'jaeger', which, considering how much the movie is being sold on those titles, seems odd.

Embrace that for what it is. Don't question it. You're not meant to. Pretend you're ten years old and it's a cartoon. That's the key.

There's allegedly a version where an hour's worth of additional character development still exists and I think it could have done with most of that put back in. Ultimately, there's not very much of it... One character's otherwise sad knowledge of heading to their impending doom doesn't make any logical sense, whereas much has been spoken of Mako's supposed inclusion as a strong, Asian female character, but... She behaves like a nervous teenager - not a grown woman. And I mean, like, almost all the time. This had a habit of pissing me the f**k off, because, as an alleged soldier and someone who's presented as being really good at combat, she would have been more interesting with a pragmatic personality, but Sigourney Weaver she ain't... She gets really emotional (in that way female characters in Japanese cartoons often do) and seems to be seconds away from crying at some points. Remember Vasquez from 'Aliens'? This is the exact opposite of that kind of character. Someone who comes across as overly vulnerable in the very kind of job which would have forced her to move beyond that, by virtue of circumstance. She even f**ks up hugely at one point of the story and the audience seems to be invited to feel sorry for her, when we're not really given any reason to. That's not to say there aren't any potentially strong female characters... There's one, in particular, who seems a bit Vasquez-like (and who I was hoping to see slap Mako in the face and tell her to pull herself together), but she literally gets, like, a couple of lines in the entire movie (and all of those during a big, CGI-laden fight). If you were expecting anything other than an overdose of testosterone, you'll be disappointed.

Like SiL, I found myself liking the secondary characters more than the primary. The two Australian pilots, I liked (the older more than the younger). And the scientists' banter could be interesting to watch, although... What happened to all their support staff? This is meant to be some kind of multi-billion dollar, global operation. Assuming this pair of eccentrics were today's equivalent of the Manhatten Project felt... Weird. As characters, they were fun, but with the film being portrayed as a 100% military organisation which has been going for several years... I don't know. Even 'Independence Day' made that side of things more believable. They also come across far more unnecessarily eccentric than Brent Spiner ever did - and he played his character as a stereotype for laughs.

The actual story? Full of lots of plot-holes, but... Entertaining enough. If you want to sit down and see giant robots pretending to be Hulk Hogan against some dinosaur-looking things (with the exception of one in a brief flashback sequence, none of them seemed very different/memorable compared to anything we've seen before), this'll be your film. But don't believe the hype about it being 'this generation's 'Star Wars'', because it isn't. The visual effects are as spectacular as you'd expect (and the 3D is great), but the carnage whips by on screen, just like it does in 'Transformers', which can make the actual confrontations a bit of a confusing mess to physically look at. If you found it difficult to work out what was on screen during the fights in 'Transformers', you'll be encountering much the same problem here.

In a way, I feel that this is going to be problematic, because if all you've got going for you are mostly special effects, then in today's world, you know that something just as impressive, if not more so, is going to come out the very next year. The effects in this are realistic, but without much in the way of charisma from most of the characters, it keeps tripping into 'GI Joe' territory (albeit, with more destruction and, thankfully, without a pantomime villain).

Want to disengage your brain for a sci-fi beat-'em-up? Watch this. It's not as vapid as, say, 'Red Tails' (although, does ultimately suffer from some of the same problems as 'Battleship') and you can enjoy the flashy stuff for what it is.

Want something to emotionally engage you? This might not be for you... I'm the kind of guy who can dig things like 'Pearl Harbor' for the primary attack scene it revolved around, but I didn't get much of a thrill from watching this. Don't get me wrong. I don't regret spending money on it. It was fun to watch! But in the same way as I found 'Transformers' fun to watch - and that had a more emotionally engaging musical score.
[close]

Final score: 5/10

Great to look at, but feels soulless. Superficial characters were pushed to the fore at the expense of potentially more interesting ones and there's not much in the way of a typical hero quest cycle (at least, outside of the kind you'll remember from old Saturday morning cartoons). If all you want to see are robots and monsters beating eachother up, you'll get it in spades. If you want a realistic-ish portrayal of what would truly happen if giant creatures began rising out of the sea, you won't get it. And if all you want is a disaster movie with the kind of inventiveness and charismatic personalities from the same director's 'Hellboy' films, you won't get that, either. A polished combination of 'Deep Rising' and 'Transformers' is what this project clearly wants to be, but it isn't.

Oh...the comments about the portal are kind of disappointing :-\

Without spoiling anything, the portal thing didn't strike me as very inspired. If you want to know what it looked like:

Spoiler
Remember 'Fantastic Voyage' and 'Inner Space'? Where there's a miniature submersible going through a human body? It's basically that, completely submerged in water, with every single thing having a turquoise glow.

You could call it the big Sci Fi Adventure version of Top Gun.

A big part of why 'Top Gun' can be so enjoyable is because most of the characters have genuine charisma. Same for 'Independence Day'. They're populated by a main cast which is likeable. That, unfortunately, is what this move is lacking the most.

Yeah... :-\ Was kind of hoping that it was just going to be the same subject matter 'done right' with a Hollywood-sized budget, though.

Like, one or two character names? I don't mind that. But we get Hercules Hansen, Hannibal Chau, etcetera... Too much of that kind of stuff breaks my suspension of disbelief. There's a poignant moment where Hansen says something ultra-serious over a microphone and instead of that upping the tension for me, I just kind of thought, "Wait... Did he just call himself... Hercules Hansen...?"

I'm happy for superficial entertainment, so long as it's superficial entertainment where I get a thrill from or other sort of emotional high out of watching. 'West Side Story' is a film about dancing street gangs from the sixties, but I can still get a chill out of watching it.

As I said in my review, this wanted to be a polished combination between 'Deep Rising' and 'Transformers'. If it had even been that, I'd have loved it (there's a reason why the former is still considered Stephen Sommers' best movie). Just as I love both the 'Hellboy' films for being big, silly-yet-charismatic, fun. But it wasn't.

And it was visually fun, yeah, but visuals, alone, don't give me a thrill. Especially when they can look a bit confusing.

There were several ways this could have gone and, if it wasn't going to be a serious disaster flick, then it needed to be engaging by way of charisma. That's how 'Independence Day' and 'Jurassic Park' did it.

If others loved it, good for them. Honestly. :) I'm not saying it's a stinking cinematic turd. It's just not nearly what it could have been, in my view.

'Independence Day' and 'Jurassic Park' are the same kind of high concept subject matter, too. But I like them. Their characters are likeable, even if the circumstances aren't realistic. I can go along with the characters for the visual rollercoaster rides their are.

If Jeff Goldblum had yelled out at a dinosaur/alien, "NOBODY TELLS MAX RANGER WHAT TO DO!" Then my willing suspension of disbelief would have mentally gone, "Wait, what...?"

Some of Hudson's lines can definitely be seen as cheesy (and seemingly played deliberately for that very reason), but the story and most of the script are very much of the non-cheesy. Powerloader versus Queen certainly qualifies as 'giant monster versus robot fight'. But infinitely more serious and satisfying the than the vast majority (if not all) of them.

I read the prequel mini-comic, Tales From Year Zero.

It's pretty decent. Nothing mind-blowing. Kind of World War Z-ish (the book, not the film) in that it's a series of interviews about the war. I'd be happy to see more of it.

What I did find funny was how certain elements from the discarded draft of the Pacific Rim script found their way in.
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: RagingDragon on Jul 12, 2013, 07:59:07 PM
I think that's just an inescapable trend Morphine, a product of the state of culture today. You can tell when you watch a lot of 80's films, you can 'feel' the era that they were made in, almost, because it comes through in so many unintended ways.

I get that from a lot of new films, even the ones I like. Man of Steel really had me going, but it felt the same: sterile, kind of lifeless, like missing the point.

I feel like all a movie has to really do is A> understand it's own purpose, its intention (which gets harder to do as you try and cram all variety of ass in the $eat$) and B> deliver on this one, specific purpose alone. In so doing, the integrity of whats being made should bring out much of the human elements, and lead to a better overall film.

I don't know if that made any sense, but so many things we love in film are products of unintentional human factors, ad-libbed, etc... The tight-butthole environment that is modern Hollywood probably doesn't make concessions for those things, as they try and control the f**k out of everything ala the Galactic Empire. ;)

I think that's just an inescapable trend Morphine, a product of the state of culture today. You can tell when you watch a lot of 80's films, you can 'feel' the era that they were made in, almost, because it comes through in so many unintended ways.

I get that from a lot of new films, even the ones I like. Man of Steel really had me going, but it felt the same: sterile, kind of lifeless, like missing the point.
The funny thing is, I think that Pacific Rim works so well because it isn't sterile and lifeless. It's going for the fun, without cynicism or 'grittiness', and it knows exactly what it is. And that's what it wants to be.

Very much agreed RagingDragon. :) Although, from what I've heard, this production wasn't controlled tightly. It was pretty much a labour of love. So, it is what it is. Isn't something which appealed to me, but nobody can say I didn't make an effort.

'Independence Day' and 'Jurassic Park' are the same kind of high concept subject matter, too.

No they aren't. They both clearly take place in what is supposed to be the real world and aren't neon cartoony fantasies.

I wouldn't say the aesthetic side of 'Pacific Rim' is cartoony. The world is psychologically recognisable as something our own could look like under similar circumstances. It's just that the behaviour and hollow personalities of the characters make it cartoony. If it had been given a superior script and a more engaging musical score, that wouldn't be an issue.

Visually, it's nice to look at, but it's not emotionally enjoyable. I didn't care whether the characters survived.

QuoteWELCOME TO EARFFF! *punch*

There's a difference between a jokey one-liner and someone blurting out a shitty character name at an otherwise serious moment. One's deliberately played for laughs (and to help the audience cheer for the character). The other isn't, but runs the risk of destroying the mood the audience should be feeling.

QuoteAliens isn't about giant monsters. And no, the Queen doesn't count.

They're monsters. She's a giant one. Ergo, giant monster. :) How does she not qualify?

Quote from: Blacklabel on Jul 12, 2013, 08:02:18 PM
I'm still amazed at the fact that people liked Independence Day. :P Really dont remember it as being any fun.

Some people, maybe, but I watched it just last night to put me in 'blockbuster mood'. :)

No doubt it has cheesy moments (many done tongue-in-cheek), but it's also a fun thrill-ride - a big part of that being to do with the music.

I honestly don't mind silly fun, but it needs to be the kind of silly fun where it gives me a high. I can still sit through something like 'Krull', 'Back To The Future' or 'Ghostbusters' and get that - and I know how those end.

Because she's not giant. She's big, yeah, but she's no bigger than a lot of real-life animals. She's not a giant skyscraper sized kaiju monster, which is what the entire pretext of "giant monster" in this discussion meant, no matter how much you try and reach.

In this age of super-serious face movies, I'm sure I'll end up agreeing with you. :laugh: If Del Toro can't pull some humor from this, we're all f**ked man. Hellboy was so good, granted the source material was rich as f**k, but plenty of directors could've missed the point entirely and had sterile, super-serious Hellboy. Del Toro's films were the wonderful exception to the rule.

PACIFIC RIM (with the wife and step daughter)

PROS: Scale! Monster and Robot designs! The world building! The variety of locations looking rich and thought out. Loved the whole Black Market idea everything to do with harvesting monster parts. The whole film was like a trip to the Troll Market from Hellboy 2. I wanted a pause and slow motion button!

ABOVE AVERAGE: The character's and their relationships with each other. Sort of semi-cookie cutter with unique elements. For the genre I was very proud of this. Without monsters on the screen my attention didn't wander at all. Loved the scientists and their arc. Wanted a little more of them.

AVERAGE: The score. It served it's purpose. Nothing stood out to me. Won't be looking to buy the soundtrack. The acting. It was serviceable. (But again, still great for the genre.) The little girl from the Tokyo flashback blew me away though!

CONS: Really I had no real problems with the film as it accomplished what it set out to do like gangbusters. I would have chosen a few different ways to present things. I kept wanting Raleigh and Chuck's 'rivalry' to be more Maverick and Ice Man. They also looked too much alike for me. Film seemed to move at a very brisk pace ... but seemed to linger just before the 3rd act. Slight pacing issues.

8/10 ... A high water mark of the genre. Unique, yet familiar, and fun. Best Tent Pole film of the summer. Hands Down.

Spoiler

Wife said it was okay. But she's a fan of The Core and other mediocre action films. She loved the scientists as well. Loved the monsters. But felt it was too much of what we've already seen.

Step daughter didn't even give an opinion. She had her fingers in her ears during every battle. She likes shit like The Fast and the Furious for her action films. She's looking forward to going to see "The Heat" ... so ... yeah.  :laugh:

Than an elephant, maybe - but that's still a giant animal. :)

And if you're going down that road, there are whales, giant squid, etcetera... To me, the Queen is a 'giant monster'. Not Godzilla-sized, no, but that doesn't make her any less of one. Same as a Rex is a giant monster (albeit, one which actually existed).

Something that I just thought of that might be due to the dub.

First, Newt mentions that the aliens had already made the dinosaurs as a test run... this yes is a link to wacky sci-fi elements of the 50s but it does not make any sense.

Second, the monsters need two brains like dinosaurs... but dinosaurs do not have two brains. That is an outdated theory based on the traces of a nerve mass in the lower body of sauropods and stegosaurs, also encouraged by the thought that things of such size should need two brains. But it's been discarded many years ago.

Also when Scunner and Raiju emerge they say they are 40 meters tall.


Were these modified by the dub or are they accurate to the original version?

I just got back from seeing it, it was just Top Gun with mechs, very mediocre outside of the fight scenes. I also had to call bull on Gypsy being able to function after Leather Back's EMP attack. Electromagnetic Pulses = Electrical devices shutting down OF ALL VARIETIES NOT JUST THE DIGITAL ONES! The final fight was also very disappointing. What the hell made *looks up name* Slattern a cat 5 anyway? All it had was three spear tails. I doubt these categories meant anything other than how toxic their blood was. Hmm what else- Oh yeah! I had to restrain myself from laughing when Leatherback sent Eureka Striker out of commission, I came close to bursting in laughter like I did with Scary Movie 5 while thinking "You over confident kaiju murdering dick, look how powerless you are now!" Would have been better if the kaiju destroyed it there, but nope, had to do that in the next battle.

I guess this will be like Transformers: Get the cliches done in the first movie to make it mediocre, wait for the sequel when the good stuff comes.

Shatterdome did, which housed Gipsy -- however Gipsy wasn't activated at the time. That said, it's still stupid to say "But Gipsy's analog!" when the thing has a freaking EMP literally growing out of its back.

No worries. There were many, many lines in the film that left me scratching my head.
Those were the only ones I just thought about. Might as well analyze more arefully next time I go.

There's no motion capture in Pac Rim. It's all key frame. It's more akin to stop motion, only done in the computer. Likening it to anything cheap, easy or fast is disrespectful to the people that work hard on this, especially in a film with a world as thought out as Pacific Rim's.

Yeah, like I put in my review, the analogue thing didn't make any kind of sense,. It clearly had tons of digital computers aboard and how in the world nuclear reactor = analogue, I can't even begin to fathom. It was just a really dumb line. It's the PR version of Space Jockeys having a DNA match with humans.

Especially because it's logical to then question, "What do all the others run on if they aren't nuclear?"

The technical side of things wasn't ever meant to be questioned. If it was, they would have just said the portal never opened up twice in a specific place, to avoid the obvious question of why it wasn't mined with nukes 24/7 (or just patrolled with submarines carrying nuclear-armed torpedoes).

Also made me laugh when the robot stuff has been hyped as a missiles-won't-do-anything argument, only for a newsflash to show exactly the opposite. :laugh:

Pacific Rim

Pacific Rim is, undoubtedly, the ultimate action-blockbuster movie. The fight scenes, even though incomprehensible on a few occasions, were superbly choreographed and just badass beyond words. The dialogue, while not anything special, was adequate enough to prevent viewers from having to dumb-themselves-down in order to endure it.  And the Kaiju were just plain awesome.

However, Pacific Rim is nothing more than a blockbuster movie, and fails to escape the realm of forgetability.

The characterization was deplorable, and really focuses on two characters; despite feeding us the dynamics of other characters we never feel the need to give a damn about. Notably, the father and son relationship that is never explored, and yet concludes in a way that is supposed to evoke emotion. None is felt, and it ultimately comes off as unnecessary filler. And then we have the disappointing handling of the only main female character, whom has to prove herself worthy to stand with the men. ...I guess this is supposed to be a victory for women everywhere...? But what it really turns out to be is yet another cliché plot device that says less for women than just simply having a main female character start off with her own robot.

Although del Toro has the ability to create whimsical and elaborate worlds/environments for his movies...Pacific Rim never seems to take time away from its lazy story weaving to allow us to savor Pacific Rim's set up. Ron Perlman's character could've been the perfect vehicle for the audience to navigate through it all, but his appearance is brief and fails to deliver.

Spoiler
For a movie that clearly doesn't take itself too seriously, there is not a lick of humor to be found.

If they need Monster DNA to travel through the portal, how come the escape pods leaving it didn't have the DNA?

Cliché "He's not breathing, but my love will resurrect him ending"

As much as I loved the movie, there are two things I didn't like all that much about it.

Spoiler
I didn't like that there was intelligent life on the other side of the Interdimensional gap. I hoped to see an alternate earth that had all these monsters living on it naturally, as ridiculous as it sounds. It kind of bummed me out that it didn't turn out this way, but at the same time it does give some options for sequels. And it could turn into all out war with even more Kaiju, which would certainly be interesting to see on screen even if a bit cheesy.

The other thing was the final battle and Slattern. I fully expected the Category 5 to be extremely huge and the final battle being a team effort of multiple Jaegers trying to kill it. As the Jaegers fell one by one, I realized this wasn't going to come to be as I envisioned. Slattern wasn't even that big, and it was all a bit anti-climatic. Maybe it's because the "nuke the enemy in the other side of the portal" has been seen recently in "The Avengers." It was kind of done back when "Independence Day" came out, too. Or maybe it was just me that wanted that big battle with multiple Jaegers against a giant Category 5. On solid land during day time, mind you.
[close]

Despite being disappointed by these things, they aren't really deal breakers. Almost nothing can be when you have giant robots punching giant monsters  :D

Wasn't actually any mo-cap involved; was listening to a Nerdist panel with del Toro and Beacham and del Toro said that he was very anti mo-cap for the Kaiju and Jaegers, instead wanting everything animated frame by frame because following motion capture would restrict the amount of weight to their movement; presence. It is true, however, that the Kaiju (and Jaegers, I think) were designed to a certain form that could maintain the 'man in a suit' practice.

Yeah, Aspie's really trying to drive a point that the film never once raises. She gets sidelined because she has emotional baggage which could be -- and turns out to be -- problematic while trying to drift. However, as the film explicitly points out, it's the guy who slips first and sets her off, which has more to do with her inexperience than "Dur girls have problems".

This film was, awesome. Just pure awesome. Michael Bay, I hope you're paying attention because this is how you make a movie about giant robots. No toilet humour, no Megan Fox, no Shia LeBeouf, no dogs humping, no clueless mothers...

Seriously though, great time. You know the worst thing about this film, in my opinion?

The other thing was the final battle and Slattern. I fully expected the Category 5 to be extremely huge and the final battle being a team effort of multiple Jaegers trying to kill it. As the Jaegers fell one by one, I realized this wasn't going to come to be as I envisioned. Slattern wasn't even that big, and it was all a bit anti-climatic. Maybe it's because the "nuke the enemy in the other side of the portal" has been seen recently in "The Avengers." It was kind of done back when "Independence Day" came out, too. Or maybe it was just me that wanted that big battle with multiple Jaegers against a giant Category 5. On solid land during day time, mind you.

No. Everyone else had was already an established pilot of a robot. She wasn't. She had to prove she could fight.
So she was a new recruit and had to go through the same thing everyone else did?

What discrimination.

She already had an extensive record that made her"superior to the men.

The brother pilots at the beginning left out the part where they also had a breakdown during their first go around. No, wait. They just had a talent for "drifting". The film also did not show how mentally and emotionally stricken they must've been, also.

Because it was showing two established pilots getting their asses kicked, not the first time they jumped in. Why would the movie waste time with that sort of exposition in the opening scenes?

Not for me. I liked the first 'Transformers' (for what it was). It had some likeable characters. The action sequences were about equal, but the music was better during those of 'Transformers'. So, for me, the older film had two major advantages.

Quote from: Aspie on Jul 13, 2013, 02:48:28 AM
No. Everyone else had was already an established pilot of a robot. She wasn't. She had to prove she could fight.

I think Pentecost was fine with her combat skills. Just not her emotional maturity/capability to deal with the whole 'drifting' thing. Which, honestly, once you understand the reasoning behind that, makes you wonder why some kind of mock-up drifting thing wasn't tried before strapping her in the multi-million dollar's worth of cockpit.

Then again, the film never gave me a reason for why drifting (or a two-person crew) was even needed, in the first place, any more than it's ever been for fighter jets, tanks, ships, submarines or any other machines through history with a crew. It's a good plot device for a story, but there's no need for it to exist, beyond random technobabble. It's in the film because they want it to be. Like how drifting supposedly lets two pilots get access to all of one another's thoughts/memories.

Even though...

Spoiler
The hero didn't realise Mako had added the sword, which contradicts the whole 'knowing-all-your-memories' thing.

My problem with her, gender-wise, I wrote about in my review. She doesn't act like the veteran or even grown woman she is. She behaves like an emotionally fragile teenager. I wanted the female Russian pilot to have some kind of scene interaction (beyond just giving an attitude through body language), specifically for that reason, because Mako did not make for either a strong or even interesting female character. And, as SiL pointed out, her revenge motivation wasn't exactly... Novel, given her ethnicity.

Because in order for these giant robots to fight at their best, they wanted humans to actually fully control the robots as if they were their own bodies. With the same reflexes.

Yes it does.  We don't need to see their first drift being hard, or the emotional strain, because we see them when they're established. Raleigh acknowledges later that the first time is hard, which tells us that this was precisely the case for him.

Just came back from it and I liked it a lot, that said there were some negatives.
Spoiler

The good:

The sense of scale.
The two scientists were great.
Idris Elba was fantastic.
The fights were truly epic.
I liked the good Australian pilot a lot.
Ron Pearlman's character was good too.
Mako Mori was interesting and was awesome when she got to do stuff...

The bad:

...unfortunately she doesn't get to help out in the final part much. She needed to be rescued. She has so much promise but the story really made her out to be #2. Also she was way too meek. I wanted her to stand up for herself more.

The other pilots got zero character development. We don't know much about them and they die in their first battle. They serve no purpose other than to die. They could have been so interesting.

The jerk Australian guy...

The neutral:

The main character was just kind of boring. Not bad but his character didn't really work with me emotionally.

WHY DID THEY NOT USE THE SWORDS FROM THE BEGINNING? The swords essentially one/two shot the Kaiju. Why were they not using these rather than:
Fists that do little damage
Guns that take 20 seconds to charge up and then like 20 more shots to kill the monster?
They could have saved so many more pilots and innocent civilians if they had just used their best weapons. They do a heck of a lot more damage that body slamming one does.

That's exactly what they do, though. :) The rig tracks their physical movements. For everything else, they're literally keying in commands on a keyboard. We don't see them doing anything which couldn't have been achieved by one pilot. The mental link is pure plot device. One which could even have been serviced in the same way if it was a pilot/gunner set up, as per helicopter gunships (one controls navigation/limbs and the other controls weapons).

Even if there's a degree of thought control (and if there is, why the need for physically walking around), it's not conveyed on screen.

Likely because in a situation that calls for physical confrontation with a very violent opponent, human strategic thinking could prove more useful than a pre-programmed fight system and yeah, likely the processing power would simply overload a human's brain.

It's shown to be a two-way link between pilot and machine -- the pilots receive information from the Jaeger as much as the Jaeger receives information from the pilot. Except the Jaeger is several dozen storeys of complex systems which need controlling and a single person's brain cannot, typically, handle that.

The film explains it just fine.

From the 'Last Movie You Watched' thread:

Quote from: Nightmare Asylum on Jul 13, 2013, 05:45:40 AM
Pacific Rim

OmegaZilla and Space Sweeper said it best: Pacific Rim was an absolute blast. And even more than that, the movie had heart; that was obvious in each and every lovingly crafted frame of the film.

Having devoured the majority of the trailers that were released over the past few months (and being a huge a fan of Guillermo del Toro), I knew going in that, at the very least, this movie was going to be visually stunning. And seriously, the visuals alone were worth the price of admission. The attention to detail, be it on the Kaiju or the Jaegers or the scenery, was jaw-dropping, providing a striking blend as age-old concepts and ideas from the genre were realized via modern filmmaking techniques with unparalleled care and passion. But of course, a movie needs more than fancy special effects to work, and Pacific Rim delivered in that respect as well. The story obviously wasn't Oscar material (in fact, it was quite simple; even by-the-numbers at some points) but it worked in everything that it set out to achieve and more. The actors' renditions of the script provoked genuine emotional response (especially Mako's story in the first half of the movie) and the unique style and execution of the events allowed the film to perfectly present the sheer sense of scale and intensity that the plot demanded. I was grinning the entire time and even burst out laughing on numerous occasions due to the sheer enjoyment I experienced while watching the events play out before my eyes.

Just to geek out a little bit now, Otachi was every bit as awesome as the trailers made her out to be. She was by far my favorite monster of the bunch. And Ron Perlman was an absolute blast to watch. If I had just one minor complaint, it was that
Spoiler
Slattern, the Category 5 Kaiju, felt a bit underutilized in the final action sequence.
[close]

Pacific Rim is a labor of love, no doubt about it. Anyone with even a slight interest in monsters, robots, special effects, summer blockbusters, or immersive world-building on an epic scale owes it to themselves to check it out as soon as they can. I already want to see it again.

Oh, if you go see it, be sure to stay tuned for the mid-credits scene! :D

Now to go read Omega's article 8)
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: RagingDragon on Jul 13, 2013, 06:54:01 AM
Pacific Rim? Oh f**k yeah. :laugh:

Spoiler
I was very impressed. Sure as shit will I be seeing it again, I say. Del Toro has incredible vision and couples it with solid storytelling that, at the least, ticks the boxes. Is that what we're going for, just good enough to float by? No, but the strong point of Pac Rim is that, as BCP said so well, it did what it set out to do.

The set-up was believable, the events and the world as well, and even the quirky things in the film have at least some form of explanation. You could tell it took a writer longer than 15 minutes to actually 'think,' and approach a level of depth which is satisfying enough to say 'okay, let's f**king kill monsters.'

I think some of you guys seriously missed the point of the film, though I don't know how that's possible with the non-stop referencing to so much other material. The entire way through, the film shows you that it's the return of the traditional blockbuster while also being a new monster movie. Since when have monster movies ever been overloaded with emotional depth and complex, dramatic storytelling? I mean come on, it's an incredibly valid point that could completely change your perception of the film, and I don't know why it isn't obvious. Del Toro sinks his resources into where it counts: the action, the kaiju, the technology, the incredible spectacle we get with this film that could only be tolerable in certain ways. He gets away with the cheese, the little inconsistencies, the scientific inaccuracies, because he can. Because no one gives a shit. They didn't expect to see something incredibly technical, with droning explanations of technology or uber-pseudo-scientific revelations. They expected gigantic monsters fighting big man-made robot soldiers. Even the very premise is absurd, so the movie did extremely well balancing believability with the fun required to even buy your ticket at the door.

There's so much anime, so much typical summer action fair that we used to take for granted :laugh: :'( so many moments where you understand that it isn't as realistic as it could be, or as emotionally deep, but the point is: you don't care.

One of the biggest pros for me was actually the frequent death of characters. Okay, prepare yourselves for a mini-rant, but I've really had it with people saying "they didn't develop these characters" or "they didn't develop those characters, so I don't care about them." It's like people f**king read this in one too many snobbish movie reviews, and just parrot it without even thinking about it or knowing really what it means. There are main characters, supporting characters, blah blah, and then everyone else. You only have time (and should only really desire) to focus on a few of these characters. Let's go on a whim and call them "point-of-view" characters. So they tell you the story and you will probably get inside their head and get a little emotion, what not, etcetera, but then you have the 'other' characters.

Maybe the red shirts started it all, but damn me to hell if I think discounting a character just because they weren't emotionally explored or probed, so therefore they have no worth, is the most non-sensible load I've maybe ever heard. Aren't they portraying a real person in the film? So if they're killed, won't you have at least a mild reaction, just a basic human response (within your suspension of disbelief) to say "aw f**k, they dead?" Same principle as when you see or hear terrible shit on the news, for example. Sure it's not personal to you, you aren't effected like the survivors or witnesses, but you still understand what has happened and the weight behind it.

Not so with movie characters! Unless they suck your mental dick and get you to like them, they don't f**king matter!

I'll tell you what snobs, some of my favorite characters were those hilarious looking Russian pilots that looked straight out of Superman II. They didn't say hardly anything, and they get owned pretty hard with a rather terrifying death scene, but I liked them. I didn't think "they only had 4 lines, I suddenly don't care that they were crushed while trying to save this city and mangled/drowned/blown up and are now f**king dead within this story!" It's not my normal reaction, and I don't see how it could be anybody's. Stop parroting some fail shit you read once, and decide why the f**king characters don't matter. Just because you don't have 40 main characters that are all anally probed through the course of your 120 minute film doesn't cut it anymore.

End rant. Phew, glad I cleared the air on that one! - continue review.

On that note, the movie was intense. The fights were jaw-dropping, and the Kaijus actually seemed scary. Sadly, I was much more frightened during parts of this movie than I ever came close to being in Prometheus, and it was a lot more tongue-in-cheek than this rollercoaster ride. The visual effects were simply outstanding, and it goes to show you that good directors won't let crap out the door, if they can at all help it. They can control the film and ensure a level of quality, hence why they've got so much clout. Del Toro ensured his visuals were about as top-notch as you can get them, and it shows. Oh does it show.

Let me get with some cons here, because there are plenty. The cheese is thick, oh baby, I'm talking even the 'escape-to-the-water-where's-the-other-main-character? scene, but I really didn't mind. I don't know if anyone else in the theater did either. A far more important complaint is that even with the amazing visuals, and the care Del Toro takes to plan his shots, it's still hard to tell what's going on in some of the battles. Anyone who's seen Bayformers will be relieved to know that the squinting, frustrated confusion level has dramatically decreased compared to those films, but it remains. My wife didn't quite catch as much as I did, having a harder time making some things out, but I've had practice from the years of shaky-cam torture.

Let me talk about shaky-cam. f**k. SHAKY. CAM. I want to send Del Toro a box of Oatmeal Cream Pies for not, I repeat, not using overblown, terrible, film-school-dropout, false-documentary hack "shaky cam" one f**king time! In a movie that could've been like non STOP f**king shaky cam, I didn't notice any. I wanted to clap just for that! It's like a real director made this film, with tripods and everything.

Another big complaint I feel like airing is that, to me, the Kaiju were kind of hard to distinguish. I also feel the same as many of you towards the category 5 and the anti-climax ending. I understand that they were supposed to resemble one another, so that's just the way the cookie crumbles, but I do wish there was a way to tell them apart better.

So, uh, that was a sort of strange review, I believe. I really liked it, drank the cheese, enjoyed my single facepalm that was that legendary office ball weird scene madness :laugh: and can't wait for the sequel! I mean, if we lived in the late 80's/early 90's, this movie would've maybe slipped to mediocre status, but surrounded by the deluge of shit films we're fed all day, every day, it shines like a bright ass motherf**king diamond. I can only hope that this is the final turning point where we stop plummeting through the creative, cultural floor and finally allow film to return to some solid ground.

There are so many incredible stories left to tell, and VFX technology continues to allow what used to be impossible. We just need to return the bones, the roots, to the organism, and we'll have yummy frosting with delicious, moist, rich cake. Not just the frosting on top of 4 inches of thick, steaming shit. Pacific Rim is a good start, as if Hollywood finally remembered how to produce a satisfying product without insulting both the medium and the audience it serves in the process.

Bring it back, hoes.

That middle rant of "You should give a shit about the people simply because they're people" was the most asinine load of wank I've seen used to defend anything in a long time :-\

No. You shouldn't care just because. If the film can't be bothered presenting them as people, what possible reason do we have to care? Everyone watching knows this is a movie. Everyone intrinsically knows these aren't real people. It's the movie's job to get us to feel that they are actual humans and make us care.

Meh I'm with RD, just like real life there's many characters I couldn't give 2 shits about dropping of the face of the earth.

As noted multiple times, apparently there's about 1 hour plus character dev that was cut, clearly to assist the pacing, and In regards to a blockbuster it's more important, especially an ensemble cast.

Yeah read the whole thing RD, don't ever change I love the rants.

That's not what he said, though. He said we should care about each one that dies because they're people, even if they do appear in the movie for a minute beforehand.

SiL, having something declared wank by the king of wank is an honor.

What is your definition of when the film successfully portrays them as people? Isn't that subjective? Most moviegoers see people running for their lives in a disaster movie and go "f**k, those are people." You have certain characters that need levels of development, that's obvious, but I see that quip pulled out in nearly every film, by someone.

Running time for a feature film is at a premium. There simply isn't time to flesh out more than a few characters with any reasonable credibility. Look at f**king Alien, which is pushing it with just seven people. You really don't get to know jack shit about these characters personally, where they've been, their dreams, motivations, conflicts, blah blah. The strength comes out in their performances and the realism of their lines. Does that qualify, that realism and good acting can take the place of actual character development?

It's pretentious. ;) But of course you'd defend that. It's your bag, baby.

Christ, grow the f**k up and leave out the personal insults. I wasn't attacking you personally.

Spoiler
There's nothing pretentious about it. Why should I give a damn about the Russian pilots when all I see them do is show up to die? This is a movie. A story. Things serve functions. Theirs, ostensibly, is to show the strength of the two Kaiju by having the Jaeger get taken down in short order. They aren't presented as people; they have no motivation, no character, nothing. They're little more than set dressing, and even that's better than the one token glance we get at the Chinese pilots before they're taken down.

It is subjective about whether someone cares about someone who dies in a movie, but that's not what you were saying at all; you were saying that it's some pretentious "fail" to want these characters to have something to them other than simply existing. That's the point. That's what's crap. It's not pretentious or a "fail" to expect at least something to attach to these people before they check out. It doesn't take hours. It barely takes minutes.

And by and large, the film didn't bother. (Although when it did, such as Raleigh and Mako, I, personally, still didn't care. But I don't call people out for caring when I don't think they have cause to.)

Jimmies have been rustled. Wouldn't expect you to be so sensitive.

Spoiler
I think maybe the most important point is what someone's individual preference for characterization is. Or expectation, or whatever. I was shocked when the Chinese and the Russian pilots were killed, and I think not being effected because of some lack of exploration or screen time is over-analytical.

How does them not having some detailed character arc make them any less important? They were pilots. They did their job, and that was it. If the movie didn't show me anything about them, either it didn't have time or it wasn't important. If it wasn't important, the story will show you that. In the context of the film, I didn't care. The focus was on other characters. In no way did it make me think they were 'not as real as the other characters who had more lines.' That's just a bizarre way of thinking imo, like 4th-wall meta movie level.

Youre trying to find meaning out of characters who don't need anything else in order for the story to work. It wouldn't have advanced the film in any way, or made me "care" about them more. I cared about them because they were driving the giant robots to fight the giant monsters and protect people. I don't need to know about their personal lives, and in this case I think it would've drug the movie down letting us get to know all of these people just to see them die immediately. Certain movies demand deep characterization, but not all of them.

I think people expect it too much, in films where that level of character depth isn't really appropriate. It's a tool to be used, not some hard and fast rule. There have been examples of the opposite, where characters are overdeveloped or focused on for too long and this ends up doing nothing for the overall story. It feels like a waste of time, time that could've been better spent watching robots punch monsters in the face.

Finally I will restate something I said previously in that I believe a great, legitimate performance does a lot more for liking or relating to a character than the complexity of their backstory or arc. If the acting is solid, and the world believable, your disbelief juice will kick in and you'll take it for granted that they're just people in the movie. When Raleighs brother dies at the beginning, we barely knew him, and I was shocked.

If we agree to disagree, that's fine. No more drama.

I liked the Russian pilots because they owned a muscle car jaeger, and had badass suits. Also because it was mentioned that they had survived 6 years of kaiju fights.

I was sad to see them killed off so quickly but as RD pointed out they're not meaningless, they exist in the film to prove how badass the next wave of kaiju are, whats the problem here?

That blows man.

I wanted this underdog to smash expectations this weekend. Not because I want any sequel or anything (I could take a sequel or leave it even though I enjoyed every minute of this film); I just wanted this to be the thing that opens up the floodgates for more big-budget original genre risks.


BTW I did have, like many, some issues with Mako's character, who I really expected more from:
Spoiler
It should have been Mako who saved/out-performed Raleigh in the final battle, she needed that sort of moment in order to progress/evolve as a character; Raleigh had evolved in the middle of the film when he accepted Pentecost's offer to re-enlist. Mako just needed that extra something to blossom. It sadly never happened. And people would have totally accepted/favored the female lead to take the reigns in the end. A failed opportunity.

Likely because in a situation that calls for physical confrontation with a very violent opponent, human strategic thinking could prove more useful than a pre-programmed fight system and yeah, likely the processing power would simply overload a human's brain.

OK, so... How? :) if it's not got enough processing power, then upgrade the damned software. If, on the other hand, it's got more than enough processing power, then that makes it easier for the human pilot, not less.

Unless the 'power' in question is electrical power, but that would make even less sense...

Quote from: SiL on Jul 13, 2013, 05:31:00 AM
It's shown to be a two-way link between pilot and machine -- the pilots receive information from the Jaeger as much as the Jaeger receives information from the pilot. Except the Jaeger is several dozen storeys of complex systems which need controlling and a single person's brain cannot, typically, handle that.

The film explains it just fine.

But, see, we're not shown that. The pilots aren't receiving anything beyond possibly force feedback from the limbs and that's not a mental thing. Everything else has the GLADoS-alike screaming verbal warnings about and/or visual stuff on screen. I could totally be wrong here, but I honestly don't recall anything which the film did to show otherwise.

They're in a puppeteering rig and they're getting audio/visual stuff which is even easier to make sense of than in most of today's actual gunships and tanks. I'm not seeing the point of this 'drifting' malarkey, outside of a plot device to make two characters have a sci-fi 'I-know-what-you-were-thinking' moment. Not once did I see them undertake any functioning which required a direct brain interface.

And I don't mind that. I don't. But in terms of writing, I feel it's contrived. Especially when the conventional gunship set-up, like 'Top Gun', could have facilitated mostly the same stuff (save for the Mako flashback, but even that's not impossible).

I actually think Elysium is gonna do better than PacRim simply because Matt Damon is the lead. :P

But you got your Kaiju film, does it really need a sequel?  :P

Ah, I just assumed it was equal both ways. Was that part specifically explained?


And no no no no no no no, there was plenty of del Toro's heart in it. It was obviously his love child, and he created an amazing world and spectacle. I meant that the characters and theme had no heart.  :P


I rather like the analogy of him being that young and imaginative kid that can generate amazing environments for his action figures. It was perfect. I'm referring to the film's mechanics though, not his soul or effort :P

Since writing my review and a little more above, regarding Mako and the Russian pilot being poor female characters, it's occurred to me that most of my issues with their failings are encapsulated in failure of what's known as the Bechdel Test.

I think I'll go and write a separate post about that, for movies in general. It definitely resonates with this movie, though. I'm curious to see if there'll be any disparity between male and female reviewers. Most of the positive ones I've read or watched, so far, have been from guys wowing over fictional machinery.

Plenty of female fans of action movies. I'm just wondering what they'll make of this one, given its Bechdel Test underpinnings.

Nobody said it was. Plenty of good movies which still fail it. It's about how well-realised the female presence is.

Just like you can have really good movies which feature a single, really well-defined female character. No matter how strong a character she is, on her own, they'd also fail it.

I didn't really mind Mako, to be honest. Who didn't smile at the pure, dripping anime goodness when:

Spoiler
"For my family!" *sword*
[close]

though I do agree that she took a definite backseat for the finale, and didn't have much of a resolution to her issues. You'd think with her only remaining father figure/savior now dead, her and Raleigh might neural handshake in a Jaeger just to sit down on the edge of a huge building and cry robot tears for hours, head buried in giant robot hands.

But I did like how she stayed consistent with her character, and the young, almost innocent, emotionally compromised state was played well. I felt she was believable. Honestly it seemed more realistic the way they portrayed her. She wouldn't really have time to make this massive change. It seemed like she was 'running to catch up' with the rest of them the entire time, so to speak.

and Aspie you've got to be trolling man. This film had my wife and I both laughing many, many times. Come on, Charlie Day and Perlman were great! Day was pretty much Charlie Kelly from Always Sunny in Philadelphia (except he went to 'Always Rainy in Hong Kong) but his performances are always good. He's a bit typecast, but his performance was genuine and provided a nice break from the british dudes screaming 'Ranger!"

Perlman was the same, basically just showing up to be Ron Perlman, but also effective and fit in the story very well.

Can't believe I forgot about this! Was completely awesome, if a bit Asian stereotyping lol, but I also liked how it showed what the Jaegers were capable of. Morphine, I wanted to add that bit to your discussions about the piloting/neural system. I think they intended for these things to be able to go hand-to-hand with the Kaiju (maybe for protecting population centers,) and given what they did in the film, that would've been impossible with standard analog input. They were basically moving like people, which is something I think the military would jump all over if they had the technology.

Ron Perlman was definitely great, and so was that one scientist (I've never watched any of his stuff, so I don't know who he is), but I'm saying that their personalities were underutilized when it came to humor. Ron Perlman has the silly costume, the cocky attitude, and the awkward aggression that should equate to a good time. But other than a few gimmicks with his nose-blade, his funniest part was when he got eaten by the baby monster.

...and although I liked the quirky scientist... there's one of those in every Sci-Fi movie nowadays. He didn't become unique or dynamic as he probably could've been. So it's effectiveness wore off quick :P

Why was it that they only used their swords near the end? Those were by far the most effective weapons the Jaegars had. They one/two shotted almost everything. Why use a gun that takes 20 seconds to power up and then 20 shots to kill a Kaiju, or weakly punch one when the sword works so much better?

How many pilots and civilians could have been saved if they had just started with the sword rather than having a fist fight for 30 minutes each time, especially once the Kaiju became too strong to fight properly?

HOPEFULLY, if a sequel is made (although it probably shouldn't be made), Ron Perlman will have a much bigger role. He was by far my favorite character, with the dog a close second place.

In RL, the Kaijus would probably not be able to breathe in our atmosphere (unless they were specifically prepared like the movie implied) and we wouldn't build giant robots, we'd hit them with some sort of orbital, satellite-guided penetrator missile that would pierce the thick hide before igniting inside and vaporizing the monster in seconds, or something similar.

The only way you could ever get realistic with giant robots is if they were the only platform for launching massive, massive amounts of ordnance. No way in hell would they ever even come close to one of those things.

This is pure cartoon fun, man. That's all it ever can be until you get Christopher Nolan on it. :laugh:

Why was it that they only used their swords near the end? Those were by far the most effective weapons the Jaegars had. They one/two shotted almost everything. Why use a gun that takes 20 seconds to power up and then 20 shots to kill a Kaiju, or weakly punch one when the sword works so much better?

How many pilots and civilians could have been saved if they had just started with the sword rather than having a fist fight for 30 minutes each time, especially once the Kaiju became too strong to fight properly?

Because using a sword means getting up close and personal which in turn means potentially taking high damage. The plasma cannon was a great weapon but only became slightly less effective towards the end after they learned the kaiju were adapting.

The robots were fighting the monsters up close throughout the entire movie, not just the end. The creatures weren't there just taking the projectiles with grace, they ambushed the robots. But we only got the sword near the end.

I guess that's because up until then, like I said, the cannon was working well enough as an offensive weapon.

Spoiler
...but it wasn't though. Even at the very beginning where the guys brother gets killed by the monster they shot with the plasma cannon. They thought it was shot dead, but it just came right up and assaulted them.

That's what I was thinking. It's hand to hand combat, and a lot of their projectiles were proving to be useless. And they still continued just to punch away at the monsters. Where was the swords at?


It's a totally tongue-in-cheek deus ex machina; stuff like this happens in cartoons all the time. This film succeeded in being probably the most effective live-action cartoon aside from Pop-eye the movie, IMHO

...some trace of logic would've been nice...and preferable as well :P

Right. The guns had a huge warm up time in which the Jaegars were completely vulnerable to attack and it took way to many shots to kill level 3/4 Kaiju. Plus all of the fighting was up close, no one blasted at the Kaiju from a distance in which the guns would be most useful.

If you must fight up close then use the most effective weapon you have, which was by far the sword. That or invent better guns with more penetrating power and less warm up.

Another effective weapon was the Jaegar's nuclear engine. That melted through Kaiju easily the couple of times they used it. They should have invented a gun that shot nuclear flames, since it even seemed to work underwater somehow.

Saw this last night, and it was f**king awesome.

I genuinely don't understand how anyone can say it lacked heart. It's heart was on its sleeve and beating the entire time. It had a very explicit theme of unity and understanding, the entire operation of the Jeager program depended on it. Was it complicated, hell no, but since when has simple been bad? If anything, plots to blockbuster movies these days try to complicate their plots to ridiculous degrees, it was refreshing to see such a simple movie. No angst, no self-loathing, no bullshit, just people standing up and becoming heroes in the most unabashedly childish way possible.

I was hoping the international Jaeger pilots had more to do. I don't know what I was expected. Maybe some adult version of the dynamics that transpired in Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire with all those Wizard schools coming together.

People keep saying "Top Gun" as if that would have been a bad thing. Would have preferred the cheesy macho shenanigans that we got in Top Gun actually. Also ... dat music.

Absolutely, and I think this sums it up perfectly:

QuoteBay's the kind of hyperactive brat who'd come over to your house and break all of your toys; del Toro is the good-hearted dreamer with boundless imagination who'd spin out some crazily expansive narrative incorporating every action figure at your disposal, no matter how disparate. You have fun with del Toro; you get grounded because of Bay.


I'm not knocking the movie for it's implausibility. I just think that, much like a kid who would "spin out some crazily expansive narrative incorporating every action figure at your disposal", characterization, humor, and storytelling took a back seat and was largely ignored while del Toro embraced is inner child and unleashed a movie that caters to action and monster junkies. It just didn't aspire to be more than that.

Simple is not bad. Predictable, cliche, and antiquated is bad. An unexplored theme is bad. And that simple theme was not effective enough to even be characterized as gushing with heart. Which we can thank the loose characterization for.

Great review, Yellow! And that succintness.. no droning on for pages like the rest of us. :laugh:

Bat Chain I couldn't agree more about the soundtrack. Some of it I really liked, the drumming and more mysterious music, but the main theme was kind of a cobbled-together mix of many generic action movie themes. Top Gun is kind of fitting too, and a hefty compliment.

Vecrotus:
Spoiler
Cherno Alpha was my favorite.. she had a good run I suppose. Pretty tough, took 2 Kaijus to finally bring it down. Crimson Typhoon's presence was a bit more brief, and you might feel that it was underused. At that point in the film, though, they make it clear that these new Kaiju are bad mothers, and they've also never had a double event with 2 of them.

I bought it that they were badasses, protecting their home countries for years. It kind of made it harder to watch them just get stomped. :( Expect some incoming Cherno fan art from me later, damn straight. :laugh:

Pacific Rim was del Toro's idea of a good time.

Grown Ups 2 was Adam Sandler's idea of a good time.  :P

Neither were exceptional or visionary, and were deficient in many areas.

Both were just entertaining, and are equally adequate films.

And I know which scene it was probably in, but for the life of me I can't remember seeing much of the Coyote Tango, like at all. I know it showed Elba on top of it, but there was never a full body shot of it. Was all off-screen.

And weave it into the sequence where Gypsy Danger came and saved Striker Eureka.

Surely they could have found some Australian actors to play the Australian pilots. My mate and I were cringing at those terrible accents.
How come Brits and Aussie actors can do perfect American or Canadian accents but when American and Canadian actors do Australian accents they sound terrible just stop it and hire some Aussies!  The accents were so bad and distracting.


Spoiler
I can't believe how easy the Russian and Chinese Jaegers were taken out at least they let the Aussie one last a bit longer cause were a good little faithful ally! Though for being the most advanced Jaeger it didn't take out many of the monsters

Also, fun fact: Slattern is a name given to a monster copilots have to fight in a virtual reality test situation in the original script.

Just got back a while ago from my second viewing, and I f**king loved it much more that on my first viewing. I took a lot of my friends with me, and most of them were going in blind. Those that didn't go in completely blind had only seen one trailer for it. They were all loved it and were ebay-ing posters afterwards xD

They were surprised by the quality of this movie. And while the actual characters and their development is stereotypical and a bit cliche, they were glad it was at least that and not completely missing. They didn't expect that part of the movie to be entertaining, but they liked it too.

Pacific Rim opens with 38 million, coming in third place. 38 million is about what Super 8 pulled in opening weekend, but Super 8 cost about a third of what Pacific Rim cost.

That was an interesting article... I like how he's encouraging old, crotchety over-analytical adults to try and return to the feelings that we seldom feel after childhood. It's advice we could all use, but I think it will also return quite naturally when we start getting more solid films like Pac Rim and less crapfest butt expansions like Poometheus. :laugh: :laugh:

There's a lot of things I liked about it, too, but at the end of the day, it's about delivering what's expected in the best way possible for your film.

If Prometheus had just had a little more, or even ended up being a bit more simple but with a fleshed-out, believable story, we'd all be all over that shiz. :-\ I've forgotten it, but Pac Rim will be on my mind for years, I'm sure lol.

I ordered the Pacific Rim HeroClix MiniGame. I used to play HeroClix years ago when I was younger (probably had the rules completely screwed up, though :D ), and I thought the Kaiju and Jaeger sculpts looked cool, so I figured maybe I'd give it a try again.

Doubt I'll ever really get back into it, but playing the odd game every now and then with Pacific Rim stuff could prove to be fun :)

...I just don't understand how Grown Ups 2 might beat Pacific Rim internationally too. I would think the market for Pacific Rim would be stronger.

I could've sworn I read a few things stating that Pacific Rim was geared to be an international phenomenon.

Grown Ups 2 has broader appeal.

I guess parents are more likely to take younger kids to see a comedy than what appears to be a dark, violent action film.

Fitting, given the themes in some of his movies :D

But seriously, I think it has more to do with the fact that the topics that he and his fans are so passionate about don't really connect with most of the mainstream movie-going audience.

It just had fantastic monsters and awesome fights, which were weaved together in a stunning aesthetic. But that's really all it had. A sequel would be more of the same, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

It would probably have to make twice it's production budget just to cover the total budget. So around 380-400 million. And that's just to brake even.

But fanbase, aside from from lack of star power, is the second biggest concern. PacRim is a brand new thing trying to build a fanbase from scratch. Sure the Toho maniacs and sci-fi geeks are lapping it up....but not many else but the niche markets seem to be drawn in thus far despite critical reception. It's doomed to be a cult classic....perhaps appreciated more on BD/DVD release like many other of GDT's films.

I personally thought that, if word of mouth was going to have a substantial impact, Pacific Rim would've exceeded its Box Office weekend projections like many hoped they would. But it didn't.


Word a mouth might give it temporary legs, but The Conjuring and The Wolverine (which come out consecutively) probably will be Pacific Rim's death sentence.

I don't know if I really believe in the niche audience theory anymore, though. This movie has broad appeal.. it's a producers dream, and things are so heavily marketed and overexposed these days, not to mention the number of middle-aged geeks that have grown up with video games, anime, and robots, that it seems to limit the previous niche factor.

When you talk about that, Aspie, I feel like the niche that is science fiction in literature, or the audiences of older monster movies, like really specific markets where you released focused products that usually have a bit of depth. I mean Transformers is as much of a niche product as Pacific Rim, even more so. They just kind of farmed it out more with bigger actors and actresses.

The Wolverine might not end up being any good, but it should dominate the box office initially upon it's release. It's hotly anticipated, and Wolverine is a very popular character.

Wan's movies have been scorching hot at the box office lately. And The Conjuring is getting fantastic buzz (I plan on seeing it Thursday at midnight)

Well, the "Hive mentality" stuff seems to align with what we already have seen. And what little they have said about the merging of the robots and monsters, although cool enough, hardly hints at anything extraordinary or unprecedented. Just seems like a new videogame boss so far.

This movie is apparently doing really poorly. My local theater doesn't plant to show it much longer, and has already moved it to the small room usually reserved for matinees of movies that have been out for a while(I saw Captain America a good month after it's release in a room like this, for example). Grown Ups 2 is doing so much better, and that is legitimately horrifying to me.

Track just ended. Nope. Not in it.

I LOVED the whole Hong Kong Double Event scene. Best giant monster battle scene ever in my opinion. Just so dense with things to see. So many unique angles and little flourishes here and there just sold it beyond mindless brawling.

A close second was the Mako flashback sequence. Beautiful, haunting, scary, desperately sad, and finally heart warming. So many feels for a film of this kind.

I would have loved to see some more broad day light fights like Striker vs Blade Head.

Maybe it's '2500 tons of awesome'?

And yes the Hong Kong battle was definitely the best fight in the film by a long shot. I agree too the flashback was really intense. The child actress did a fantastic job -- and Onibaba's head was wicked with all these shifting parts!

I forget the name of the track, but I remember really liking the piece with the chanting sounds that, if I recall correctly, played during Otachi's scenes.

Otachi was definitely my favorite Kaiju in the film, with Onibaba coming in a close second. I also really loved the underused Trespasser. Oh, and Karloff.
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: OmegaZilla on Jul 14, 2013, 10:52:11 PM
Trespasser was f**king insane.

Its head was an axe. The deep roar was visceral too.

Definitely my second favourite; he sure should have been featured more prominently. Perhaps in place of Slattern.


All-in-all I loved all of the creatures with the exception of Raiju.

I would lie if I said he shouldn't have been more elaborated. He felt like there should have been more conceptual 'drafts' of him.

I kinda like the tripartite jaw. But the 'real' purple soft head inside was... so out of place. Terribly unthreatening.

Thankfully he went down quickly and was not featured prominently.

Scunner f**king ruled though, and I am glad it got more screen time.

If we ever get to see another film, would anyone like to see more than just the Jaegers combating the Kaiju? I just found this (http://dougbot.com/forum/KarloffKeyFrame.jpg) awesome piece of concept art and it had me thinking about how cool it could have been to see the six day battle that took the first Kaiju down, and now I'm kind of imagining futuristic tanks and weapons made using similar technology behind the Jaegers.

I'm still trying to figure out how a full-fledged sequel would work.

Spoiler
I mean, ties to the other dimension have been severed completely, so mind melding with a Kaiju wouldn't do much good. If the portal was reconstructed somehow, or if that 'other dimension' was really just another world or something, and they managed to come from space, it would seem like an anti-climax to have another 'save the world' scenario after the first movie's global 'live or die' situation already concluded. It seems like the next one would have to be a step down from that, and I can't imagine the Jaeger program would be revived for anything...

But come on, the coolest Kaiju in the film is easy to point out.. :laugh: which is why they had it fighting the most badass Jeager, which was piloted by the clutch badass pilot. I really thought Tango would make an appearance for the finale, piloted by Elba of course.

Thought he would have to use it to help Raleigh work through his 1-pilot loss/trauma, then he could switch to Danger mid-battle and kick the final ass after Elba was killed. But hey, I'm not a writer... yet.

I liked it.

But I find it extremely hard to mess up the man in giant suits genre.  My oldest idea as a writer is about young pilots in giant suits.  It is a story that has been thrown about back in forth in my head since HS.  And HS for me was a long ass time ago.

I have a feeling that del Toro will make sequels and we will also be getting some copycats here soon.

As for a sequel, I'd go with a political allegory of the responsibilities of power.  If you take away the Kaiju, what is the most powerful non nuclear weapon left on the planet?

But I think blacklabel is closer to what will actually happen.

Well I just got back from watching this, and I have to say I did have fun with the film. The fight scenes were great and had me constantly going, "Oh shit!", but I found the sections in between to be kind of boring to be honest, it just felt like filler to me. Another problem I had was the cliche ending to the movie,
Spoiler
it reminded me way too much of the ending to the matrix, with the whole "love bringing people back from the dead" crap
[close]

I found that the cast did a pretty good job in general, except for the main character, played by Charlie Hunnam, who I personally found to be a really basic and boring character (Don't shit on me for an opinion), I also really liked Idris Elba and Ron Perlman in the film
Spoiler
Where's my god damn shoe!
[close]

And holy shit the monster designs in this movie were great, both Kaiju and Jaeger, its just a shame that
Spoiler
my favorite Jaeger in the film, Cherno Alpha, got its ass handed to it.
[close]
Overall I really did enjoy Pacific Rim, and is so far one of the better movies I've watched this year, despite the problems I had with it.

I've had that theme stuck in my head since my first showing. Really like it. I also really liked the theme when Otachi starts heading towards the city. Gave me Godzilla vibes.

I ordered the Pacific Rim HeroClix MiniGame. I used to play HeroClix years ago when I was younger (probably had the rules completely screwed up, though :D ), and I thought the Kaiju and Jaeger sculpts looked cool, so I figured maybe I'd give it a try again.

Doubt I'll ever really get back into it, but playing the odd game every now and then with Pacific Rim stuff could prove to be fun :)

One of my friends bought them and they're actually pretty cool. Slattern is very nice looking. And another friend that watched the movie and doesn't play clix ecven bought the Crimson Typhoon from him.

It depends on what's being destroyed. I, personally, was thinking more along the lines of the foundations anyone might have constructed that puts Pacific Rim on a pedestal overlooking movies of "average quality".

   Just got back from the theater. Saw this in Imax 3D.
   So what does the resident film artsy guy think of this action romp?
   This film required three elements to work. It had one with the monsters, which were imaginative and a fine tribute to the city smashing titans of the classic days. It had two with the giant robots, practically mirror images of...well...awesome Saturday morning cartoon ass kickers. Sadly, the third and most important element, the people, was the one part of this film that didn't really work. 
   A few characters did grab my interest, namely the two scientists, Insano Perlman, and the boss of the whole operation.
Everyone else however fell flat in my honest opinion. Without an emotional connection to the characters in the narrative, the action could have grown flat and repetitive had it not been for its more imaginative moments, of which there was thankfully no shortage.
   There were moments of genuine emotion, such as when Mako looks up and spots her savior. These moments were the ones that left an impression on me, and more of them would have been nice. Actually almost shed a few there, but I'm still holding onto those man cards for a special occasion.
   It certainly was not annoying and this humor was light years beyond the childish drivel present in Bay's bratty mind. There were a few moments where I almost busted out laughing in the theater, such as when the scientist boasts to himself before he links with the creature's brain.
Spoiler
The biggest disappointment for me was the deaths of the two mechs during the Hong Kong harbor scene. After all that build up and looking forward to seeing them developed and do interesting things. In the end, they were just there to be rather large red shirts. One of them literally was red. Should have guessed.
[close]
   Literally, the characters were the only aspect of the film that kept me from getting fully engaged. The action is well executed and beautiful, the plot is a dream come true for the ten year old in all of us, but those who take us on the journey are the most important part in any story. However, I still would recommend it as it does contain a nice spirit of fun and does not get repetitive like certain OTHER giant robot movies. See it in 3D or Imax 3D for the maximum immersive effect. Favorite line? "One, don't ever touch me again. Two, don't ever touch me again."

BTW, that Gravity movie looks interesting.

I assumed it was because the Kaiju were highly adaptive. If they started mowing down Kaiju with the sword, we'd start to get Kaiju that, possibly, had impenetrable skin to render the sword useless.

I was under the assumption the knife was a new addition to the restored Gipsy Danger.

Also, I guess it's not as relevant because each hand has one of each, but if they're using the plasma cannon or whatever that blue laser was, they can't use the sword too. The cannon just seems more definitive and effective, so I guess they go for that first.

I'm still trying to figure out how a full-fledged sequel would work.

Spoiler
I mean, ties to the other dimension have been severed completely, so mind melding with a Kaiju wouldn't do much good. If the portal was reconstructed somehow, or if that 'other dimension' was really just another world or something, and they managed to come from space, it would seem like an anti-climax to have another 'save the world' scenario after the first movie's global 'live or die' situation already concluded. It seems like the next one would have to be a step down from that, and I can't imagine the Jaeger program would be revived for anything...
[close]

I agree. But with the script being written, I guess there's something up del Toro's and Beacham's sleeves. And I have to admit that the concept of the
Spoiler
Precursor aliens modifying and drifting with Gipsy Danger's remains sounds very intriguing.

How would that work though? Gipsy Danger was destroyed in the blast. I'd rather not say it, but don't be surprised if Godzilla turns out be to be a major success, then we start seeing a crossover. That's the best option IMO.

This is a actually a pretty good explanation for the Sword usage.
If only the movie had actually shown the blood to be toxic. After the opening montage said it was we had scene after scene of people (at times literally) walking over Kaiju corpses like it weren't no thing. They weren't even wearing protective clothing for the most part.

It's like they wrote the idea that the Kaiju's blood was toxic into the opening and then forgot about it for the rest of the script.

Seems like one of the things Beacham and Del Toro wanted to include in the in-film universe but didn't feel like focusing on in this particular story. It plays a much bigger role in the prequel comic, for instance.

Pacific Rim: No extended cut on DVD/BD

About The additional footage.



Seriously though I'm satisfied with the cut we got.
It was an excellent creature feature.
And where others felt that one monster/robot or another didn't get enough action or screen time,
I felt no longing for that sort of stuff.

But added character moments would only make it more enjoyable, I think. I'll be buying this one most definately (something I rarely do). However... ::) can't wait for those 720p fan edits... ;D
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: Alienseseses on Jul 15, 2013, 12:46:24 PM
There was one line in the movie that made it sound like something was cut...

Raleigh, to Mako:
"This isn't a simulation anymore."

Seeing as how this was the first time he had any indication she'd be riding with him, this seems odd.
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: Nightmare Asylum on Jul 15, 2013, 12:51:04 PM
Pretty sure that was just in response to Mako saying earlier in the film that she achieved 51 kills in 51 simulations.

Yeah Grown Ups 2 versus a huge Independence-Day style giant monster movie made by a great director and featuring stunning visual effects?

In what universe do people live in dude? I mean, even with the movies obviously different target demographics, where are all the Kaiju fans, or fans of stupid summer hits in general? Where are all the Transformers f**king wanker audience that shelled out millions for that crap but won't go see Pac Rim, which is a better film by miles?

Makes no sense on any level. Modern audiences are like out-of-control, unpredictable idiot children. There's really no telling what they'll do.

I suppose it's time to spend another 400 billion on market research.

Nothing really against GU2, its probably a fun film as well, but Pac Rim should be outperforming it easily just based on what it is and what it accomplished.

Not really. History tells us that word of mouth can do wonders for a film's box office. That is what happened with the original Halloween.

However, the bad word of mouth didn't kill TFROTF. Dumb viewers are a tenacious breed.

It is not sick or sad. Advertising is one of the critical elements that goes into the success or failure of a film.
Sadly, the advertisements for Rim didn't really do it justice. They make it look like TransFormers, which will either repel BF fans who don't want to see their precious robot testicles get plagiarized, or repel people who want to stay as far away from anything BF like as possible for fear of those robot testicles returning to screen.

The Evangelion units would take all of the other mechs easily.
Then Unicron takes out the whole planet with the mechs on it.
Speaking of which, when are we gonna get Marvel vs Transformers?
I want Galactus vs Unicron, damnit

So basically they are fighting over dinner?
Well Unicron also transforms into a planet. Galactus could theoretically eat Unicron.

So kind of.
How big are each of them?
I believe they're roughly the same size(Though Galactus' size tends to vary)

Aspie... you son of a... here, have a rant:

Spoiler
You keep throwing these terms about you wanker and I think it misrepresents the film a little. Besides the sad action movie cliche dolt of a main character, there were some interesting ones. Pentecost, for starters, who practically carried the film, and the scientists brought some much needed life and comedy. Mako was Mako, but at least they gave her some trauma to flesh out something. She was interesting enough.

The pilots acted precisely how they should've, like pseudo-military hotshots who've gotten drunk on their own success and become sort of rock stars before burning out and getting buried by politics. Stiff, heroic, with some cliche conflicts thrown in between them, trying to prove themselves to the world and save it at the same time. But this is more than enough to carry the film, and it's believable in the universe that was created. You keep talking about it like it's Prometheus of something. I didn't believe any of those performances besides f**king David.

That hunk of shit explained far less about any of the characters, and didn't nearly have anything as emotionally satisfying as Mako overcoming her crazy shit in the drift with Raleigh (while almost blowing a hole in the shatterdome) or the Eureka's sacrifice. I felt like that was Elba's revenge on Poopmetheus, going out in a rather awesome way that made sense: the exact opposite of Poometheus's braindead "finale."

Get out of here, you. :laugh: Go watch 8 Crazy Nights. :P

QuoteThat hunk of shit explained far less about any of the characters
Maybe, but there wasn't an element in Prometheus that required the background of the characters to be revealed in such depth. PR, on the other hand, had the whole drifting, memory sharing, and personal trauma concepts.

And notice how a lot of people in here are having to defend and assume things about PR's storytelling. Prometheus might not have been Alien material, but it had a way better story than PR.

I didn't say it felt like this was written FOR 12 years old boys (I'd thank God if it had been, at least!), I said it seemed it was written BY a 12 years old boy.

The kind of boy who has watched like 5 anime series, starts writing a freaking fanfiction novel about his "own anime", and includes every detail saying "mmh, this gonna be cool!". I was LITERALLY facepalming every 10 seconds while watching this huge piece of bshit!!

Well I thought you'd want to appeal to as wide an audience as possible on a $190m flick.

Even if ultimately your core audience is pubescent boys.

OK, I'll try to be a little more positive. After the first half, the movie became more watchable. The only part of the movie I actually enjoyed and engaged me in action, was Mako and Cliché Male Lead's first battle; the action was actually what they promised. The last fight was predictable and underwhelming, however, but at least not unbearable.

The rest was simply ABYSSMAL in every sense. It reminded me Godzilla (1998) so freaking much, it also reminded me in bits of Master of Disguise, The Big Bang Theory, Independence Day and every other piece of atrocious cinematography I've ever watched, I'M NOT EVEN KIDDING, it was a damn nightmare!!

Even the music, it was only a single tune repeated over and over and over... Seriously WTF?!!!

I only went to the theater because my mom gave me a free ticket.

I knew I wasnt' going to like the movie, since action tends to bore me. But I expected it to be good, not THIS bad.

Seriously, this made me appreciate Michael Bay. WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME, DEL TOOOROOOOO?!?!

It seemed to have been written by a 12 years old boy that had watched 10 movies in all his life. Every 10 seconds there was some new detail that made me want to walk out of the theater, and I'M. NO. f**kING. KIDDIN'.

You are now officially a waste of space here.  Sorry to say that but to me this is the best movie of the year.  I love movies I have seen a lot and I haven't felt a sense of joy and excitement like that in a long time.  It appeals to the inner child in me while be well written enough for my adult self to love as well.  Its defiantly not the best movie ever made but damn if it doesn't make two different sides of me feel good.

All it really lacked were great leading characters. This is worthy of criticism.
But it was filled with imagination and good spirit, which was plenty to keep it afloat.
My prof is a guy who passionately despises current blockbusters as lacking innovation, so if he likes it, there might be something more to this movie.

Del Toro disappointed me with this movie. After Hellboy and Pan's Labyrinth. This? Seriously?

Whatever, I didn't actually care for this. I didn't wait for a groundbreaking story, or a good mythology, or something. I knew I was not going to like it, Just like I knew I wasn't going to like Star Trek Into Darkness (but still went to watch it because I liked the first part). Hell, I didn't even planned to watch the movie, I only went because my mom gave me this free ticket.

I don't "hate" this movie like I hate Ghost Rider because of making me lose hope in Human Mind, or Alien 3 and X-Men 3 for killing what made Aliens and X2 awesome, or even how I dislike Man of Steel for being such a wasted chance.

What I hated is how it tortured me with its absolute blandness and beyond believable cliché and Emmerich-likeness. But I don't think I'll talk about this movie tomorrow. It's just that, forgettable, but a puerile torture during my view.

I went to the room waiting for something mediocre, something above average for action fans, but it was something abyssmal instead. I knew I wasn't going to like it, but I didn't know I was going to dislike it so much.

It was worse than I thought, that's all; and I wasn't even expecting something beyond mediocre. And I don't like Independence Day, I like the alien design; still, I think I might like Independence Day even a little more than PR, because PR is a script clone of it.

At least ID4 didn't have those scientists that seemed taken from a cartoon aimed to 5-years old kids, seriously that Newt guy reminded me so much Master of Disguise, Justin Hammer, and that idiot from Godzilla (1998), what was Del Toro thinking when he decided they were going to be a good addition?!?!
After the impressive piece of characters that Hellboy was (I remember so fondly of Hellbs, Major Manning, Liz Sherman, Broom, Abe and MEYER!!), this felt like an insult. Are you sure Del Toro let his 10-yo nephew write this? I highly suspect it. It's that, or Del Toro hit his head with a brick, who knows, this was plain awful.

Yes but I can't see it being remotely comparable to Pans Labyrinth.

I would have to say Hellboy and Pacific Rim are on the same level depending on how you look at it.

They were painfully goofy cartoons. Just the way 12 years old guys picture "nerds", LOL.

I thought the scientists did OK. I wish they were a little more dynamic, but they served their purpose. But the fact that Charlie Day's character was a bright spot is kind of alarming.

I thought the scientists were interesting. Yes, they were cartoonish (not a derogatory term, BTW) but they were also well-sketched.

Newt is a scientist who resents the nerd stereotype and is absolutely gleeful about what he does-- he's the closest thing in the movie to the geek audience. The people who fall in love with the different monsters and robots and miscellany that could become toys. He isn't a scientist because he's smart and it's the dignified thing to be. He's a scientist because he'd be miserable at any other job.

Gottlieb, on the other hand, treats his position as not only dignified, but hallowed. It is his duty to provide the facts, but also to represent his position and make sure it maintains its reputation and appearance. That's why he dislikes Newt. In Gottlieb's eyes, Newt is ruining everything. He's treating this extremely important art like a joke. But on a deeper level, Newt shows that one can have fun with the science and not take it too seriously while also advancing it, meaning, implicitly, that Gottlieb wasted his life by forsaking a social life for his work. If Gottlieb accepts this, then it undermines his whole purpose, and he can't have that. He needs to show that he was a martyr who sacrificed himself for science, not some guy who was too stupid to realize he could have it both ways.

Agreed. The only problem I had was that you can find a character like him in near every Science Fiction movie known to existence. But Charlie Day did his job, and did it well.

Great analysis here, but my problem here was that it took me longer to read this than it did to observe all of Gottlieb's screen time.

If I'm not mistaken, he loved IM3 because it was such a horrible film, that he thought Shane Black was trolling the fanbase. Which amused him :P

It was funny, creative action sequences, good humour, good actings, good character development, good production and some impressive special effects here and there.

That's it, fun and entertaining :D

There were some things I didn't like it, actually the trailers sold a completely different product than what it actually ended up being, but overall I found the good things of the movie outshining the objectable elements; there was simply a sheer sense of fun in this movie and everything felt so natural even plotholes doesn't even matter. Not a serious movie, though.

Well, I guess I'm gonna upset a few people here judging by this thread, but while Guillermo del Toro's sci-fi action adventure Pacific Rim has some amazing set pieces, jaw-dropping monster vs robot fight scenes that put the original Transformers movie in the shade (and I actually liked that movie, lol), some of the best CG I've seen to date and an inventiveness that constantly made it feel fresh and new... yet.... in spite of all this good stuff, a poor script with too much cringe worthy dialogue, mostly dire acting anyway, except for Edris Elba & (far too little of) Ron Pearlman, who over-shadowed a cast I mostly hadn't even heard of, Pacific Rim still manages to be one of the worst films I've seen in a long time. Still, if you don't mind any of these things either way, then PR is probably for you, it just didn't do it for me.  Pacific Rim (2D) 4/10

Post by: Nightmare Asylum on Jul 16, 2013, 12:46:18 PM
Honestly, I really liked Mako (both the character and the actress playing her). I really bought into her story in the first half of the film (and would have loved to see more of her in the second half). It goes without saying that Idris Elba and Ron Perlman were two of the standout actors in the film, and I also had a blast with Newt and Gottlieb.

I guess the only main character that needed a bit more, well, character, was Raliegh. His motivation was set up by the film's fantastic opening, but after that I feel like he kind of dropped off a bit. That being said, he did kind of feel like our entry point and guide through this world, and in that regard he worked almost perfectly.

Post by: Alien³ on Jul 16, 2013, 02:01:26 PM
When I went into the cinema to watch Transformers I was expecting robots fighting robots, which I got, but I didn't expect a crappy human story of some high school kid trying to impress a girl. With dogs humping legs, sweaty orange skin tones, and fart jokes, later repeated in both the sequels. Those really dragged the films down for me.

When I went into the cinema to watch Pacific Rim I was expecting Jaegers fighting Kaijus, and oh boy did we get that 8), I was also hoping for something that respected its target audience, something that proved these types of movies (as over the top as they can get) can be everything the Saturday morning cartoons of the 80's gave us without fart jokes etc, and I honestly believe they did that. It was a blessing to have human characters fit with this type of movie and I'm thankful for it.

Pacific Rim maybe Godzilla, Avatar, Jurassic Park, and Hellboy, wrapped in an Independence Day package. With cheesy lines, hokey acting, and a plot that is as simple as Pac-Man, (a giant live action cartoon) but what is so wrong with that? Why is that a bad thing?

I liked every character and the acting, it all fit into the world Del Toro created and not one character pissed me off. Sure they were stereotypes but that all fit into the cartoonish feel of the movie. I think people often forget that this is a kids movie, and even as a kids movie it has treated its target audience with respect right down to the end scene where they don't kiss! Every kid watching this will thank Del Toro for that. I know I would have.

Also to note the dog only barked at the end and didn't tilt its head and make a confused noise. The only joke in the film that seems out of place is the newtons cradle, but its not a fart joke or something absolutely ridiculous so it can easily be overlooked.

Deeming it a "cartoon experience" doesn't excuse a single thing. If this was Michael Bay, then yeah, it would be taken under consideration. But we're talking about del Toro, who is usually brilliant a what he does. There might now have been any fart jokes, but, aside from the art direction, nothing else in the movie was on par with del Toro's exhibited skills. Not even close. And if it was, Pacific Rim might've been more than just another #3 box office opener that will have to rely on cult status to remain memorable.

...and why should any of del Toro's movies aspire to be Saturday morning cartoons?

I wasn't talking about box office figures so I have no idea why you brought that up again.

And I'd say the acting is cartoony (reminding me a lot of Starship Troopers) which was done on purpose because of it's target audience...children. Who like cartoons etc.

Have you seen both the Hellboy movies? Pacific Rim is on the same level as those, acting, action, and comedy wise. Both Del Toro movies. He has a style to his blockbusters and I expected it from Pacific Rim. I still don't understand what you were expecting Aspie.

NO. Not at all. Hellboy is 50 times better than this Pacific Rim piece of crap.

Hellboy was a way better constructed, woven between the characters and their motivations, not centered around the action sequences. It didn't had a script entirely cloned from ID4 or another movie. The actings, character portrayal and development was keen, sharp and original. The characters were eccentric, memorable, humane and believable. The aesthetycs were stylish and the character designs delightfully personal.

Pacific Rim is mediocre writing at its best, and awful clichéd and cartoonish characterizations.

QuoteI wasn't talking about box office figures so I have no idea why you brought that up again.
I brought them up at the very end of my post to showcase that Pacific Rim had, to some level, disconnected from the mainstream audience. And it's not because all moviegoers are stupid, Adam Sandler is overrated, or because Despicable Me 2 is just too gosh darn cute. It's because Pacific Rim couldn't find a way to stand out. Which is a shame, because del Toro is usually a master at doing so.

QuoteAnd I'd say the acting is cartoony (reminding me a lot of Starship Troopers) which was done on purpose because of it's target audience...children. Who like cartoons etc.

I didn't think the acting was cartoony. At all. I actually liked all the acting. And I'd say the target audience would also include teenage boys, and just males in general. It was kind of a dark movie, and none of the marketing seemed to be directed towards children, either.

QuoteHave you seen both the Hellboy movies? Pacific Rim is on the same level as those, acting, action, and comedy wise. Both Del Toro movies. He has a style to his blockbusters and I expected it from Pacific Rim.

I've seen both Hellboy movies, and I love them to death. The main difference that puts the Hellboy franchise above Pacific Rim is that I cared far more for the characters... and also that both Hellboys were a lot funnier than Pacific Rim.


QuoteI still don't understand what you were expecting Aspie.

What I got. Robots and monsters fighting each other. But because I got what I expected doesn't mean I'm satisfied with it. Del Toro is every bit as talented as the world labels him. Pacific Rim just could've been so much more than what we got.

Not just the action but the visuals, which were great. And while the characters where stereotypical and cliche, they weren't bad. Mediocre at worse, but still fun to watch. Idris Elba and the scientists, for example. Stereotypical? Yes. Cliche? Yes. But they were still fun to watch.

And while the action and visuals were the selling point of this movie, the studio will recognize that it had an overall positive reaction. Even if it didn't sell many tickets. The marketing will be to blame. Del Toro is not loosing credibility over this. This movie is a treat to watch, visual-wise. Well, in general too but that's my opinion.

Not a bad thing, but a separate thing. Critics appretiate good crafted action, but most of them prefer to see beyond the surface.

While the action was not bad, actually, there was only one fight scene that actually engaged me, and I've never been a fan of big robots (small robots, count me in).

The whole first half of the film was such a collection of clichés and "international" pandering (very Emmerich), turned me off of any intention of seeing this film as salvagable.

The action was not good enough to cover that dull and infamous plot, at least not for me. I hated Man of Steel plot too, but the designs and special effects there were actually jaw-dropping to me, and in Iron Man 3 case, the plot was nothing out of this world, but the action sequences were so entertaining they stood out.

I don't care much about action, action sequence have to be really sharp to make me pardon every other errors completely.

Most, if not all, of del Toro's previous works had low to average budgets (his best films come from this range).


But his career is still alive and well. There just might be a tiny section of it going out of business for him.

I really do blame the marketing for it not being able to "stand out", as you said Aspie. It wasn't until the last two trailers that they realized they were getting a little too many comaprisons to T...err....the robots who must not be named.

The characters in this movie were much more interesting to me than the ones in that other franchise, I'll add.

I will say that the marketing was exceptionally poor. And once Twitter grabbed hold of that Transf....those robots which must not be named comparison, social media shunned Pacific Rim. There are actual articles chronicling Pacific Rim's social media plunge.

Usually, with a movie like this, word a mouth would give it great legs to continue on. The only probably is, next week we have Red 2 and The Conjuring coming out. Both of which are fighting for the number one spot. And then the week after that we have The Wolverine, which will be in the number one box office spot.


...Pacific Rim just picked a bad week/month to be released.

I didn't find the marketing bad, I found the movie bad.

While I don't care about giant robots and monsters since Godzilla (1998), it at least made me believe it was going to be a decent movie. The fighting scenes looked excellent. The trailers, posters and everything did a good job covering the horrendous plot and characters; I actually thought the characters and plot and tune were going to be something as good as Prometheus!!

Like I said, it's like a 12-year old japanophile otaku boy said "I'm going to create my own anime", by cloning the same Indepence Day plot and mimicking the characters of 5 animes he has watched, without adding nothing to the formula and keeping it as cardboard and generic possible.

And those cartoony puny aspie scientists were painful to watch, not fun >___> They really made me revive some of my worst cinematic experiences, including Godzilla (1998), Master of Disguise and The Big Bang Theory.

At my movie theater it was packed, and there was many people reacting to the scenes, like Otachi's wings reveal, and even Slattern, even though everybody knew there was going to be a Category 5.

THAT was the part when the movie lifted. The next character turns kept you engaged, it was still nothing outstanding but worked to keep me invested on the film until its end. Then the same ID4/Avengers ending came, and I remembered how dull the plot was.

Yeah, for Dredd word of mouth helped it a little bit because the budget was relatively small. Pacific Rim would need a huge box office burst, which it is capable of. But not in this month, specifically.


My theater was about half-way packed. Maybe a tad more. (I saw it on a Friday, I believe).

But that budget is without marketing. And in the past few weeks, even more marketing was dumped onto the public to deter the poor box office trafficking, reportedly. A lot of box office analysts are predicting a sizeable loss, unless international markets pull a Clash of the Titans.

To animes, series and movies history. The plot is so much of an ID4 clone and the characters so cardboard it can hardly be taken as a serious effort as we've watched that same formula again million times. The action is good, but not THAT good.

Not really saying that. I say ignorant kids will be impressed by this. I mean, genuinely impressed. Adults who can enjoy this like kids, still agree the plot is hardly something original or "impressing", and the characters are clichéd (what's mediocre, the opposite to impressing).

Agree with that. I'm not saying no one should dislike this film, I'm only saying I find it pretty awful. If you like so much watching giant things fighting and exploding you can pass a hugely unoriginal, predictable, cardboard and awfully executed plot, then it's good for you.

I said "faggy", yes. That mathematician or whatever it is, it's so a sissy and faggy it could be an actual bigotry implying of homosexuality. I'm not against homosexuality, but I dislike seeing cartoony and bigot, mocking portrayals of it. Just the way I dislike seeing "stupid", brainless portrayals of males and females stereotypes.

They didn't seem to fit with the rest of the characters. His relationship with the biologist was so much a parallel to a marriage. I seriously thought they were going to kiss at the end of the movie, fortunately the director spared me of that final facepalm.

I didn't like those characters at all, they were too nerdish and awkward, so goofy, unbelievable and completely out of the tune with the rest of the characters.

Completely agreed on that. You have to be an ignorant kid to be impressed by this movie.

Sounds an awful lot like you're insulting people's intelligence here. Might not have been your intention, but if that's the case, you should word your posts better in the future.

Agree with that. I'm not saying no one should dislike this film, I'm only saying I find it pretty awful. If you like so much watching giant things fighting and exploding you can pass a hugely unoriginal, predictable, cardboard and awfully executed plot, then it's good for you.

No idea is completely original. Sure, it's not the most original piece and I could predict a few things in the plot, but when I saw it, I felt something for the characters. People would have been pissed off if the movie actually spent time explaining the back story of every single little thing. I thought they explained just enough and fleshed out the characters to a degree where I could actually get invested in them. This movie has heart, and there will always be cynics. But your opinion is your opinion, as is mine.

That's not insulting. Intelligence has nothing to do with ignorance. I didn't say "a dumb kid". Kids are inexperienced, they could be genuinely surprised and impressed by things they still don't know.
In case of an adult, every people's different, some of them are more eager to suspend its disbelief, some are able to "disconnect the brain", or "disconnect the criticism", or "enjoy things like a kid", I respect that.

One could genuinely enjoy and love a bad movie. I know much of that. I love many bad movies. But I wouldn't say they're good. In a balance, as for myself, I didn't enjoy much Pacific Rim, and I didn't find it good.
If you enjoyed it, that's perfect. But if you're saying it's a good movie, I'd like to debate that.

Nothing is completely original, but there are "fairly original" things, and also blatant copies. I found this a complete script clone of Independence Day.

I though the explanations and backstories were fairly unoriginal and not much interesting. I didn't think the mythology of this universe is interesting enough.

Well, that's my opinion.

Because the film didn't feel solid and at least for me it wasn't that effective in the action/sci-fi genre. The characters were too cliché to tap with their motivations, and they delved out the "epic" angle of the story by introducing some goofy and hard to believe characters, like those weird scientists, Hannibal Chow, as comedic reliefs that are so out of tune they don't manage to entertain.

It's better than ID4 (I... guess?), it leans more towards the fantasy and the "fun" than realism and seriousness (I strongly prefer serious sci-fi), but it's still a failure, in my opinion. The only good aspect of this were the fight sequence, but as a whole movie, I felt it like a mess.


If you want to have a better example of script-cloning... Avatar was good as a reenactment of Pocahontas for new generation. I despise the film simply because I'm so damn tired of all Ferngully I've watched all my childhood, but I got to admit Cameron's effort was solid and more focused than this PR disaster.

I still have some objections about Avatar because the appearent "realistic" background of the characters clashes with several plot points, and I think it could have made some good points about current reality instead of throwing all out on an "epic battle" at the end, but Avatar is a masterpiece of cinematography  (and I don't mean only visuals, but the consistent tune of the film, the pacing, acting, even some good sci-fi elements...)

I digged AvP:R. I'm not an ardent supporter of xenomorphs or whatever, but I liked it was better than AvP, and while I have some objections with the horror aspect, it did well in the action area, with not many things out of tune. I wouldn't know what score give it, though.

I was invested. I had followed its production from its inception to the premiere. It didn't matter if the movie was good or not, because it already had me. That said, I did enjoy it, and I check it out from time to time.

I got way more pissed reading that then the AvP:R opinion we shall not speak of :laugh:

No characters that made any sense. No good dialogue. Nothing made sense. Plot made no sense. Ending was idiotic, ham-fisted forced Alien reference. Timing was horrible, pacing was horrible, science was insulting, editing was horrible, score was great, no questions answered, complete DECEPTION on the part of the marketing and ads. Film didn't deliver on anything it promised outside of what was shown in the trailers.

A complete lie, a complete waste of time and money, the worst movie of Ridley Scotts career, and a complete embarrassment up and down every board you could possibly imagine, not to mention the entire dimension of fail it enters once you understand it's some sort of bastard prequel to the greatest sci-fi/horror film ever made.

I mean, even the 'strengths and weaknesses' you've been using to compare Pac Rim are all much better handled by the film than Prometheus. It's true to its goal, to what it set out to accomplish. Prometheus is a big, fat, glaring failure towards what it was trying to accomplish. It's characters are cliche, but they work in the film. Prometheus almost had some interesting characters, before they were all revealed to be complete, unbelievable morons that do nothing but stupid things and have no real development to speak of. Pointless characters on a pointless mission that becomes even more pointless when stereotype old man god complex Weyland shows up with, you guessed it, a stereotypical and impossibly stupid goal of somehow cheating death by talking to the one surviving giant alien killer they found in a temple full of mystery substance. There's a plot twist for you! How creative! I really like Weyland's arc.... wait...

It was basically Godzilla (1998), plus some anime supposed 'badassery'. There are good kaiju movies and bad kaiju movies, why they took Godzilla (1998) as a base? Because this is certainly the same Godzilla (1998)'s tone.

Is that Holywood thinks Kaiju/Giant robots movies are only supposed for children? With Del Toro on charge, I thought Pacific Rim was going to have some thougt-provoking, sophisticated qualities. They just gave us another damn Godzilla (1998).

Much as I liked (yes, maybe even loved) Prometheus, this movie was better in many departments. The story made more sense, the characters (while not particularly unique) were more than shadows of how actual people act, and the editing wasn't handled by a macaque on speed.

Pacific Rim was simply much more polished and complete. Prometheus felt like someone had made cake batter, but forgot to bake it in the oven. Sure, it may be pretty sweet. But it's still not a cake.

I somewhat agree, but I enjoyed more the Prometheus characters. They were more like regular people, subject to contingency. In the same exact moment the Militar douche appears, Mako and Raleigh encounter, Pentecost reveals who he actually is, you exactly know what's going to happen to all of them, and how. They were basically templates, not flesh and bone characters like Prometheus's. Or Hellboy's.

Much as I liked (yes, maybe even loved) Prometheus, this movie was better in many departments. The story made more sense, the characters (while not particularly unique) were more than shadows of how actual people act, and the editing wasn't handled by a macaque on speed.

Pacific Rim was simply much more polished and complete. Prometheus felt like someone had made cake batter, but forgot to bake it in the oven. Sure, it may be pretty sweet. But it's still not a cake.
This is the greatest critical equation of all time ever. Especially the macaque on speed.  :laugh:

Agreed on all points.

I wouldn't say felt Prometheus that "uncooked". All the characters got their arcs and developments, all of them were transformed and ended up being something different than what they started being. Only the plot was unresolved because of the random sci-fi elements.

I'd say Prometheus is a bittersweet cake, a little undercooked, a little ran out of sugar, but there's people who prefer that kind of taste.

In exchange, Pacific Rim was an industrially processed, artificially made, probably even recycled, and rather tasteless cake, covered in cheap white sugar.

David starts out as a slave, then ends up being less of a slave by the movie's end but through no action of his own. Eh.

I actually thought the characters and plot and tune were going to be something as good as Prometheus!!

This has singlehandedly destroyed the credibility I thought you had. I don't care if you like Prometheus, but to claim that the "characters" and "plot" were some standard to hold anything against when, in reality, Prometheus is one of the biggest heaps of trash and movie failures in the history of the medium is just shocking.


Actually, it wasn't. Generally speaking of course.

Nonetheless, I enjoyed Pacific Rim quite a lot. I'm not quite as fanatical about it as a few people here but it had me well entertained from opening to close.

The interesting part in this case is that her deeper beliefs didn't change. She passed through much, she lost everything, and her personality changed, but she still believes firmly in God.

f**k no. The Prometheus discussion will stay right here. :laugh:

I'll spare those of us who still have some sanity after the Prometheus level 9 mind rape bomb.

Spoiler
Come on, seriously? Prometheus had no story arcs. If you have to make one up to defend it, your bias will clearly be on display. Shaw starts out an idiot non-scientist who believes in god and is going to search for.. him. She ends an idiot non-scientist still searching for god even though she's learned that humans were created by Dr. Manhattan who now wants to punch them across the room. Great arc there. An actual arc would've been for her to *gasp* change her beliefs!!!
Holloway starts out an idiot X-games non-scientist, and dies the same, after revealing himself to be a plot device to create cuddles. Vickers starts a cold bitch, dies a cold bitch after the shocking revelation that Weyland is her dad! Whoa there! Janek? He came close to having a sort of character arc, until it was cut from the final film. Weyland? Ahahaha.

The only character that was even likeable, much less had anything close to an arc, was David. That's also a much more effective sign of a problem, the android being the only character your audience can relate to (while not being an android story or one that explores machine sentience) than Charlie Day (a comedian) playing a comedy-relief scientist. Also an indicator of a much bigger problem with your film. Pac Rim blows it out of the water in this department. None of the characters made me hate them, while almost every single one in poomethus did just that. I literally wanted them to die. In PR, I was actually moved by the deaths of even the tertiary characters. Good enough.

However, she's a changed woman; now she seems to be looking for God with anger, for scolding, not as a child looking for its father.
None of this is backed up by the film. She started out looking for 'answers' to her bullshit beliefs, and she ended up still searching for the same 'answers' as some form of conclusion, even though the 'questions' were built on impossible bullshit anyway that was force fed to the audience. There wasn't even time to build up a personality. The only thing we know about her is that she's religious and sterile.

Some of the poorest writing in any movie, ever. I'll take Pac Rims predictability and cliches on the back of an incredible film and a monumental achievement for visual effects and the sci-fi/monster genre in general any day of the week.

To be fair, if Poometheus had the level of writing that Pac Rim had (with some sort of conclusion,) I feel the FX may have carried the film. It wasn't just the characters, though. Alien had no character arcs, and you dont need the most complex ones in sci-fi actioners, but it was certainly effective. Prometheus was deliberately insulting to all human beings with a mind, and a special poo missile flung at anyone who likes science or has ever written a character themselves. Even stereotypes would've been far better than what we got.

The movie was so bad it will never die. It's still haunting me.

In general, yes; in Pacific Rim, no. He's just there. Very, very briefly.

He's a black-market criminal salesman with one eye, gold-tipped shoes, a monicker he based on his favorite historical character and his second favorite restaurant in Brooklyn, an awesome secret hide-out in Hong Kong full of gun-toting thugs and vials of kaiju parts. He has a vast knowledge of kaijus and a connection to the Jaeger program and he exploits all this to his advantage. He only looks out for himself, while trying to maintain his reputation as a badass. ("One look. That's all I needed.") But he isn't nearly as smart or as brave as he tries to look.

("One look. That's all I needed.") But he isn't nearly as smart or as brave as he tries to look.

I found him to be very memorable.

Stuff like that makes me want to see some non-Jaeger tech in the sequel if we ever get one.

The mention of it taking six days to bring down the first Kaiju with traditional weaponry has me wondering just how cool a whole strike-team operation based units smaller than the Jaegerscould be (perhaps being built after the first film in case the Kilju and/or Precursors begin to strike back). Futuristic tanks, weapons, sets of armor...

Cool pic. :)

I do like that idea though, perhaps a sort of rust-coloured version of Starship Troopers (the book) as far as combat goes, with individual kaiju instead of entire swarms of Bugs.

Pacific Rim begs for a prequel about the early years of the Jaeger Kaiju conflict.

QuoteIt's rare that a film is so bad that I want to walk out within the first half an hour. Having paid to see something, I always attempt to stick it out (it could get better after all, right?) and the only time I HAVE left was during a FREE screening of Iron Skies at the Kapow! Comic Convention in 2012. Well, for almost the entire gruelling two hours and eighteen minutes of Pacific Rim, every fibre of my being was telling me to get up and leave. It is without a doubt one of the worst movies I have ever had the misfortune of sitting through. Sure, if you're only after a soulless, brainless and utterly moronic movie with three decent - but really not all that special action sequences - you'll love it. However, while the Transformers films at least have the decency to embrace their sheer stupidity and have fun, this tries to be serious and fails on every level as a result.

Idris Elba needs a new agent. After being the only good thing about Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, he once again is the only decent part of a thoroughly awful ensemble cast. Like everyone else in Pacific Rim, he's saddled with dreadful dialogue from start to finish, but he's talented enough to actually elevate that material. The rest of the film is filled with those who can't act and those who are just plain awful at it. Charlie Hunnam, Robert Kazinsky and Rinko Kikuchi don't have an ounce of charisma between them, while Charlie Day and Ron Perlman are too bad for words. How exactly Guillermo del Toro managed to get such an awful performance out of the talented Burn Gorman is beyond me, but his turn is one of many that is one of those which is literally laughably bad.

Talking of del Toro, if Pacific Rim isn't proof enough that he's not cut out for a career directing Hollywood blockbusters, I'm not sure what is. There's no doubting the impressiveness of the action scenes with the gigantic Jaegers and Kaiju, but is any of it REALLY something we haven't seen before? There aren't any truly original ideas on display here. There's nothing memorable or a scene which will leave you gasping at the sheer scale of the battles on screen. They're undeniably exciting and in terms of special effects are great, but in an age of countless big CGI laden movies, Pacific Rim does nothing to stand out from the fold. It wouldn't even be fair to call it a brainless popcorn movie you can sit down and enjoy because you have to endure such tedious trash between the fights.

There's no real story to speak of. It's generic, cliched and boring. The score is pretty good, although that's probably the kindest thing you could say about the Pacific Rim. The humour constantly falls flat, and despite the aforementioned impressive action sequences, the noticeable green screen lets the movie down more than once. Practically, the sets are well designed, but we're now reaching a point where it's an absolute struggle to say anything even remotely positive about the movie. Simply put, it's garbage. It somehow has a reasonably good score on Rotten Tomatoes. Either way, one can only assume those critics and bloggers praising Pacific Rim as if it were the second coming of Christ were desperate to get a mention in a TV spot. Thank goodness it's so far performed badly at the box office, because at least that means we won't have to endure a second outing of this rubbish.

Imagine the worst Syfy movie ever with decent special effects and there you have Pacific Rim. Laughably bad, poorly written and directed, and entirely forgettable, it's yet another big budget disappointment. AVOID.

I am perfectly fine with opinions. I know not everyone liked the movie, and that is completely understandable.

But to claim that the movie was 'soulless' is absolutely ridiculous. Even if it had nothing else going for it, there is no denying that this movie was made with every fiber of del Toro's soul.

As for the soulless part, Pacific Rim did not have dynamic characters, which diminished the human element in a movie that showcases the near extinction of humanity. As a human being myself, Pacific Rim should've made me feel the urgency of my own race in the movie. Instead, I was given action sequences and choppy speeches to fill that void.

We know you feel that way about it, and you do have some points, but you're pretty much repeating everything you've said before in an endless loop. I'm not being bitchy or anything, I just say we move on and ignore the kid that keeps trying to get a reaction out of us. We all know where our opinions stand  :)

Anyways, if they do make a sequel do you guys think we'll get even bigger Kaiju? I feel like they could end up going the opposite direction and just launch a swarm of vicious little ones. Still have the big ones, of course, but I kind of like the idea of small ones. If just to see what Del Toro could do with a more compact and intelligent killing machine.

I don't remember any over-the-top goofy characters in Godzilla. In fact, from what I recall, Godzilla was played fairly serious (more so than Pacific Rim, at least).

You guys seriously wouldn't know a bad movie if it jumped out and bit you in the ass. ::)

Any film with a giant monster, you guys would go "oh Godzilla '98." Kind of an obvious, ineffective, and quite lame comparison that doesn't go into any specifics at all.

The tone of this film is completely different from Godzilla. Period.

And no, the scientists were very different. You'd probably stereotype every scientist in every movie the same, though, if they shared the title 'scientist.' I don't even remember any scientists in the film other than Matthew Broderick, who was the main character.

There are goofy things here and there. But not at Pacific Rim level, that it's probably Three Stooges (2012) level.

It's not. The guy is like a Matthew Broderick x 455 in goofiness. The scene where Newt is pursued by a kaiju and ends up surrounded by Chinese people, his glasses broken and all... That was pretty much Godzilla '98 stuff.

There were many things on this film that reminded me Godzilla '98, including the kaiju having an offspring.

Pacific Rim's tone reminded me a lot of Godzilla: Final Wars tone. Not so much Godzilla '98.

I disagree. I mean, I had never EVER seen such a cartoonish, ridiculous and bigot portrayal of so-called "scientists", specially in something that wasn't supposed to be a comedy film (and by the way those goofy characters were not funny at all). Probably Flubber-level. Charlie's Day acting also reminded much of Master of Disguise.

They already did the prequel, which I heard was quite good, and I think Guillermo del Toro expressed interest in expanding the brand. Providing the film is successful enough, I think we very well could.

And I've said it before, but I really think an anime compilation along the lines of The Animatrix and Halo Legends could work for Pacific Rim.

Changing context's for a second...

This was the best opening of Del Toro's film career.. and it's poised to make the most money out of any of his films. :p and it made back half it's budget in 5 days. (Of course, it's not making as much money as it should.)

And i did write here that A LIST stars could have helped market the film a lot more...
but that didnt help Lone Ranger... wich had Johnny Depp + the bonus of being based on a known property.

A bad summer for big budget films, then. :P The general public is getting tired of big blockbusters.

Godzilla's only ever died in the original and Destoroyah.

The GINO comparisons make no sense either. GINO is a movie embarrassed of its subject matter and would much rather be Jurassic Park on steroids. Pac Rim however embraces all that makes Japanese monsters kaiju. They are powerful forces of nature. Other elements like harvesting organs and monster fetuses are more del Toro than anything.

Questions:
Spoiler

1) How did Raleigh and Makio make it back through the portal without a Kaiju to fool it?

2) Why didn't the world, who realized where the portal was, create like 100000 turrets all around it and just blast the f**k out of anything coming through? Surely that's easier, safer, and less expensive than creating a Jaeger or two for every city. I mean, I understand you need it for the first few, and definitely need them in case of emergencies, but still...

3) How strong are the helicopters in the future? Surely they could have just lifted the Kaiju into space and dropped them into volcanoes if they're strong enough to pick up Jaegers...

4) I'll say it again: Surely the Chinese of all people should have concluded that a giant wall wouldn't work...

Most projectiles would simply deflect off Kaiju, and the plasma cannon Gipsy had isn't actually that common on jaegers, likely it's very expensive.

Hooking up a kaiju with some helicopters sure as hell would have been an impressive feat.

Which is probably why they not only didn't seem to have one in construction, but were like "Okay c:" when everyone else sent their jaegers there.

Also in response to the whole "Bombard them from a distance thing;

Did you forget so quickly that Leatherback shut down jaegers? Kaiju adapt, jaegers were clearly becoming good ways of stopping Kaiju, so the Kaiju literally decided "f**k that" and developed a counter-measure. They simply would have done the same thing with distance bombardment.

Because... MECHA vs KAIJU!!!111

and

Because building giant Mecha seems easier than pulling off the largest evacuation of human populations in the history of ever? :P Think of how many millions would have to move... pretty much ALL coastal cities and islands in the Pacific. :P Also, one would think that if that had been done, the kaiju would just be crossing over into other oceans instead of going to land where they could easily be killed, inevitably reaching europe, africa, india, eastern seaboard of the americas... and now ALL coastal cities around the world would need to be moved... keeping the fights between Mecha and Kaiju near the pacific rim keeps the struggle contained.

..also.. this is a film with cartoon logic not a realistic depiction of a near extinction like World War Z (the book). So who cares, really?

Pacific Rim, as fun as I found it, it's simply a fanboy movie... so the disappointing figures at the box Office come as no surprise to me...


I think it's incredebly naive to say that the audience between sandler movie goers and kaiju movie goers is separated in intellect.

The only Thing that bugs me is that the lame Transformers Franchise is going to have it's 4th installment soon, whereas this movie could have been the start of something great... instead it will simply go under... I just hope it can make it's Money back... simply because minus numbers would kill my heart... and I seriously hope this is no omen for the Godzilla movie coming up...

I think it's incredibly naive to say that the audience between sandler movie goers and kaiju movie goers is separated in intellect. 

Pretty much. Neither movie was very smart, or even smartly made. I'd say the only difference between the audiences, if any, is in taste.

So basically we were meant to get lost in the visual spectacle. Which is fine, but Transformers had all of that. Pacific Rim might've exhibited creativity, but it also showcased a lack of adequate character development and storytelling. Pacific Rim might've been a medium of escape to the audience, but only to a time when our 12 year old underdeveloped brains could not distinguish the difference between a good movie and a good fight scene in a movie. If Pacific Rim takes the audience that far back...then I don't understand how Adam Sandler's juvenile humor is inferior to Pacific Rim's mind-numbing essence.

Repeating the exact Independence Day plot is not the best way to promote creativity.

As you have said, this is a "fanboy" movie; it was expected to star the fights between the monsters and robots as the main value. The problem is that the script and directing of every other department of the movie fell so flat it seems they didn't give a crap about it.

Also, the Kaiju fights were rather scarce, the first half of the movie was too much (clichéd) set-up without any Kaiju fight apart from the one at the very beginning. It bored me the hell out. If this was going to be robots vs monsters, they should have put 30% more fights, at least.


Also, being a "fanboy" movie doesn't justify it. There are intelligent ways of doing fanboys movies. The best example is the Star Trek reboot. Most of the audience didn't give a crap about Star Trek to that point and rolled their eyes always they heard the title. But the plot and directing was good and appealing to almost every possible audience.
It worked perfectly, but that's because it had a great balance between everything, was managed with relative seriousness and offered intelligent and though-provoking themes, twists and turns, instead of relying on a generic plot we've watched million times.

Pacific Rim was a bad fanboy film. It halfway offered what it promised, but it didn't do an extra effort to make the "genre" revelant to non-fanboy viewers.

I almost completely agree. But at least Pacific Rim had much creativity in visuals and designs, and a 'decent' action directing. I couldn't hate more Adam Sandler's stupid so-called humour.

meh, really it was how the cast of Grown Ups 2 interacted. It was just great chemistry, none of the characters is Pacific Rim had.


But my point was that, at both movies, I did not feel like an educated or well-informed adult. I felt like kid, because neither of the movies strived to offer me anything above what a kid might expect to see and enjoy. Both were just mindless pieces of forgettable fun.

It's not that though. It's the filmmaking process.

There is talent in every frame of Pacific Rim. There is passion, creativity, love, f**king emotion and craftsmanship. I'm tired of people equating complexity with good filmmaking. Pacific Rim doesn't have deep characters or plot, but it loves its audience.

There is none of that in Sandler movies. He has contempt for his audience. His recent movies are simply vehicles for which he and his washed up SNL buddies can goof off for 90 minutes with lame jokes and potty humor, all of which is payed off with blatant product placement.That is why people perceive it as for the stupid masses. Because it is.

The Independence Day plot is itself War of the Worlds which is in turn a simple Invasion Scenario.

You can't select a single event out of a timeline fraught with similarities and expect anyone who sees the larger picture to share the same limited way you do

Creative evolution works this way. Building off similar themes and moving forward in a more robust, fulfilling way that elevates all other parts of the whole.

I fail to see where woodland animals pissing into the hysterical mouths of played out washed up unfunny elevates anything.

I'm not even saying Independence Day is the original thing. I'm only using it as an example. And I mean, the same things, a "resistance", a final fight, best friend sacrifices, they win by blowing up a mothership with a "clever" plan that wipes out the entire invading race... The Avengers had the same sort of thing, too, but it wasn't simply that.
Pacific Rim was entirely predictable, the characters cardboard pre-established and boring as hell roles: The "retired" hero, the girl, the hostile rival, the mentor... It wasn't even presented in a smart way, it was in the dullest form I had ever seen.

Yes, Pacific Rim is a better made movie than Grown Ups 2. Yes, del Toro loves what he does. And yes, everything was pretty to look at.

But Sandler loves what he does.  And Sandler has passion in what he does, whether we like it or not.

So I don't give ground to either film in that regard. Especially since the core of Pacific Rim is even more hollow than Grown Ups 2.

As far as the "love and emotion" of which you speak of, I saw none of that. And if Pacific Rim loved me, then it wouldn't have treated me like a 12 year old moviegoer by just giving me 'splosions and action, no matter how pretty.

Yeah, but maybe del Toro should actually try accomplishing this in Pacific Rim 2, since he clearly missed the target the first time around.


QuoteI fail to see where woodland animals pissing into the hysterical mouths of played out washed up unfunny elevates anything.

No one said it did. What I'm saying is that, much like all of the mentionable elements in Pacific Rim, it's on a 12 year old's intellectual level. They're equals. The fact that one's a cooler image than the other means nothing.

Really, I fail to see how CGI elevates anything.

Well, that's your opinion and that's your perception. I didn't see that much passion, creativity and "love". I saw probably a director that always wanted to make an homage to a genre he liked, but didn't care to find a way of doing it in a relevant way. A purely egoistic and self-satisfaction exercise, that turned into the dullest and most boring movie I've watched in years.

Curiously, I find a very similar case, in a recent animated series named Symbionic Titan, by Genndy Tartakovsky (Dexter's Lab, Star Wars The Clone Wars). It was coincidentally supposed a giant robot vs giant monsters homage. But the characters and plot were so clichéd I got bored in two minutes. It was a monumental failure in terms of audience.
Tartakovsky overrated his own childhood and nostalgia and delivered a giant piece of cliché (with great production and direction) no one could give two craps about.

Well, the Kaiju are categorized according to the Serizawa Scale.

And there are some similarities between these guys, but I really doubt that they're intended references:

The emotion that they were able to bring out of the little girl for that sequence was amazing to watch on screen.

Obviously we have different opinions on the quality of the story and the characters, so I'll just leave it be for now :)
I'm not saying that the acting was poor regarding emotional delivery, I'm saying that there wasn't enough of it. I hardly think that a little girl crying is such a rare event that it makes up for the rest of humanity not giving a damn in the movie. :P

As far as I'm concerned, her having to avenge the death of her family members who were killed by the kaiju is just another cliché supplementing Pacific Rim's weak storyline.

I'll just end this debate with a final thought:

The reason for mine and others being upset about Grown Ups 2 beating PR is because we are rewarding lazy, safe filmmaking over hard work and creativity. And that just sucks.

Just something that popped into my mind: did they ever say that the general public new just how serious the events towards the end of the movie were?
Spoiler
As in, multiple Kaiju emerging, infiltrating the portal, etc. Or did most people just look at the events as 'another Kaiju attack' without really realizing that the war could very well end, in one side's favor or the other, that very night?

And I appreciate Pacific Rim for the risks it took.

But PR's hard work was not dispersed evenly enough across the entire project, and wasn't without it's own brand of laziness.

But I agree, Pacific Rim should've been rewarded more than Grown Ups 2 was, but it just didn't pan out that way. Which may or may not reflect the results of Pacific Rim's risks.

Perfect. Accept I'm not really upset about it. It's disappointing for sure but it goes with the rest of the times we live in.

I'd like to add a little about the evolution of art.

Del Toro takes ideas and puts new spins on them. He makes them fresh and interesting again. And he does it in an incredibility awesome way that no one can currently. He isn't afraid to let his inner child out and just play with crazy ideas and mold them into something frighting or silly or both.

I recognized this about Del Toro when I first saw Blade 2. He took the tired, old, played out concept of vampires and totally upended it and made it suddenly exciting and worth looking at again. He designed a biology around the vampire mutation that was both otherworldly and beautiful (and freakishly scary.) Those splitting jaws that opened up into these incredible maws and the bone encased hearts that continued to crave blood after the vampire was dead ... just next level crazy shit.

He's done the same thing with the giant monster genre that arguably only flourished in Japan and immigrated to other lands. He envisioned a world that has had to deal with the these creatures. He brings into question the cool concepts of "What happens after a giant monster dies in a city?" No other film addressed that. The pollution of it's rotten flesh and the market that springs to life peddling the bits and pieces of the expired creature. I could watch a whole film just about THAT.

He asks us to suspend disbelieving as much as (if not less than) the other films in which this has evolved. 

Pacific Rim is a master stroke of it's genre. A high water mark.

The new Godzilla film is going to be so tonally different as to not even be logically compared. I'm happy to know that both of these films can exist side by side representing different aspects of the genre and hopefully we'll get more of both down the line.

JUST NO CROSSOVERS PLEASE! :laugh:

Aspie, I'll just say that your opinions on Pac Rim are so far off the mark, they've made for some great reads these past few days. I don't know where we'd be if we didn't have people like you that totally missed the point while supporting much worse films like they were better. :laugh:

Maybe you'll see clearer the next time we get a mildly original, beautifully executed film undertaking that's very unlikely to happen in this modern Hollywood environment anymore. Maybe you'll recognize the effort that went into it, and the quality of the end product given what could've happened within the system in which it was made. Maybe not. Who knows? :laugh:

Grown Ups 2 is not the future of filmmaking. Pacific Rim is. Finished.

The drift is the term for the connection between pilot + pilot. Not pilot + mech.

No it isn't. The Drift refers to the psychological connection; this then has to be shared between two pilots and the Jaeger. The scientist (and everyone around him) says he drifted with the Kaiju brain when he was going in solo.
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: Eva on Jul 19, 2013, 12:56:26 AM
Speaking off, why does the pilots have to actually be physically present inside the Jaegers in order to control them? Why don't they just remote-link/control them like drone pilots can do today, drift or no drift? That way, the valuable pilots wouldn't be in danger or lost if the Jaeger goes down...

Oh, I know, none of you gives a shit...! You just wanna watch mega mechs with action men inside their heads, smash big ass monsters. :D

Both pilots share a mental, connection with each other, and the mech itself.

Though Pacific Rim couldn't have taken from this as the movie was still being shot by the time 3.33 was finished. Pilot to pilot synchronization compatibility was in the original series as well, though in different Evas (mechs), to complete an operation synonymously. Not sure if this was done in Gundam or other properties before NGE, but this is the best comparison I can make for Pilot + Pilot.

Like with other Mecha entries, it requires direct application of physicality and for the pilot to be situationally present. Without that, there's a disconnect between the pilot and the platform. It's also the same reason that the pilot has a nerve link and can feel direct impact on the mech on their body-- as well as limb severence, if for a brief period before realization.

So is the Mako character a racist creation, an example of hollywood woman-hating or both?

Just remember.. The Alien series ALWAYS kills it's black characters.

All of you are obviously fans of racist films. :P

There are also no gay, bi, lesbian or transgender characters in the alien series... HOMOPHOBIC! OMG!

Yeah, I'm the crazy one posting one quick tidbit and getting like eight immediate eye-rolling responses.

You gotta be kidding me if you can't see how someone would make a misogynistic connection, especially being fans of the Alien series, which IS a feminist film series. I feel like you should be able to make the opposite connection pretty easily.

Mako pretty much never makes a decision for herself. She's held back from being a pilot (or whatever they're called) by her father figure, who is then the person who allows her to become a pilot. It's never up to her.

Also, I have no idea what was going on in the sparring scene. Was she allowing Becket to score points on her, or did she just suck? She had a smug grin on her face the whole time so it was hard to tell if she was losing on purpose or not.

Not to mention it was her who completely f**ked up the first "drift" (correct term?) in the hangar bay and almost blew everything up while the male characters are standing around wondering what a mistake it was to put her behind the wheel. And it was ultimately Becket who came to her rescue by ejecting her and taking care of the final self destruct himself.

And finally she was for all intents and purposes the only female in the film. The Russian chick had, what, like two or three lines before her death scene?

Quotefeminism isnt a problem, people.

Correct, but misogyny is.

Doesn't change the fact that it was his fault to begin with, and he didn't even save her. The guys in the control tower or whatever pulled the plug on the power.

Yeah, but after Charlie Day pulled the power plug, nothing happened. She was still charging the plasma gun hand until she snapped out of it with or without the help of Becket in her daydream.

I'm not stretching my imagination at all by saying Pacific Rim can be seen as misogynistic. I'm not saying it's intended to be, or that I dislike the movie, but it's pretty blatant and I'm surprised it was overlooked.

There wasn't the slighest amount of misogyny in this film. Mako stood toe-to-toe with Raleigh just fine in the training exercises and he personally named her the best candidate to be his co-pilot.

This discussion was already had many pages ago, courtesy of Aspie.

Post by: Alienseseses on Jul 19, 2013, 10:48:42 PM
I don't think the movie is misogynistic. I could make the argument that it fails the Bechdel Test and has a low female presence. That doesn't bother me, but it might bother others.

That said, Mako is the heart of the movie. She may be the only significant female character, but she's very significant.

Charlie Hunnam said he didn't want Raleigh and Mako to kiss, because that would relegate her from 'main character' to 'love interest'.

The movie doesn't hate women. Or Mako. It's chauvinist, yeah, but Mako isn't treated like crap or objectified on grounds of being a woman. She earns everyone's respect and holds her own in the end.

That's too bad, specially when you read this on wikipedia:

QuoteDel Toro cut approximately an hour of material from the film. The unused footage explored the characters and their arcs in greater detail, but the director felt it was necessary to strike a balance, stating: "We cannot pretend this is Ibsen with monsters and giant robots. I cannot pretend I'm doing a profound reflection on mankind." Each character's arc was edited down to its minimal requirements.[29] The director wanted to keep the film around two hours, particularly for younger viewers. Alejandro González Iñárritu and Alfonso Cuarón helped with the editing; Iñárritu removed ten minutes of footage, while Cuarón removed "a few minutes" and rearranged several scenes.[53]

I would really give it a shot. Because I like Del Toro.

Got back from seeing this a few minutes ago. It was freaking awesome, from start to finish. The only thing I think it needed was something like the "listen to my voice" scene from MoS with Raleigh and Mako before they went into battle. Also:

Spoiler
That really should have been Mako having the heart-to-heart scene with Pentecost when he revealed he was dying instead of Raliegh.

But yeah, those two things aside, it was just about perfect. Hell, all it was pretty much one gay volleyball scene away from being Top Gun with monsters. That, my friends, is awesome. 8)

I didn't get the impression of an eye exactly. I felt it was more some kind of star with a planet or moon silhouetted in front of it. If it was supposed to be an eye I would image they would have had it move and dilate and all that.

It was just crazy, insane, inside out reality. Our human minds are tethered to our version of reality. They couldn't grasp exactly what was going on in that dimension.

Because you don't like them. And I was never attacking Pacific Rim, I enjoyed Pacific Rim. I'm not over here packaging my argument and facts in Magegg's state of mind.


But Pacific Rim did have a lot of flaws with characterization, storytelling, etc., and if we are to get a sequel one day, hopefully it will build off the mistakes of the original.

Just ignoring the faults of the movie does no one any good. And there's no way I would praise it as being anything other than a gorgeous looking Robot vs. Monster movie. Kaiju films like the original Gojira... that was exciting, engaging, and profoundly moving stuff. Pacific Rim might've been exciting/ "badass", but it didn't have any of the dynamics that made Gojira a truly great film. If you want soul, go watch Gojira, not Pacific Rim.

Gojira will always be the best kaiju film ever, period. It's the most culturally and historically significant one and I highly doubt any kaiju film will ever bear the kind of meaning and symbolism Gojira did.

However, Pacific Rim was way, way more fun to watch than Gojira. Pacific Rim IMO has better action, characters I can understand, and has a grander scale.

Quote from: Aspie on Jul 20, 2013, 05:51:54 AMKaiju films like the original Gojira... that was exciting, engaging, and profoundly moving stuff. Pacific Rim might've been exciting/ "badass", but it didn't have any of the dynamics that made Gojira a truly great film. If you want soul, go watch Gojira, not Pacific Rim.

Thanks for outright stating you didnt get this film.

You're right. I didn't get Gojira. I got a "meh" movie with tons of imagination from an underrated director that knows how to project creativity on the screen. But what del Toro also knows how to do is just flat out make great films overall. Pacific Rim just wasn't great.


Quote from: Blacklabel on Jul 20, 2013, 06:11:30 AM
That's kinda what Del Toro was aiming at.

definitely not the somber, melancolic tones of Gojira.

Pacific Rim is Queens of the Stone Age.
Gojira is Nina Simone.

different musicians doing different styles quite well.


Quotedefinitely not the somber, melancolic tones of Gojira.
It didn't have to have that tone, but damn the human race was in danger of extinction in Pacific Rim. Surely at least a tiny bit of melancholy or somberness was warranted, as opposed to a rock star concert tone.


Quotedifferent musicians doing different styles quite well.
del Toro did fine. But it could've been better.

Aspie - for a tiny bit of melancholy and somberness: Mako's flashback. The death of Raleigh's brother. The world having short food supplies. Raleigh's shit job in the beggining of the film (in wich 3 workers die offscreen). Stacker's illness and iminent death. The many pilot's deaths and the final sacrifices at the end....

It's all there, right on the screen.. but none of it is lingered on to prevent it from getting in the way of the sense of fun. A good decision.

Were you expecting camp comedy? The film was meant to be serious. Just because it's a film for young teens and young adults doesn't mean it's going to have a cheese factor.

William Gibson's review of Pacific Rim.
He loved it and saw it twice in theaters:

QuoteA ravishing display of intelligent, often wonderfully witty visual design, every frame alive with coherent language, in the service of what is at heart a children's story. A children's story for a very dark time, our own, about a very dark time as children understand such things: monsters, from beneath the bed -- our own or the ocean's! It restores heroism to the realm of the humanistic, an extraordinary accomplishment given so much of the film culture of our day. The protagonists know, and demonstrate that they know, that it isn't about them. A sweetly simple fable, for all the titanic grandeur of its cosplay (which I took to be the message of the slowly pumping wooden bellows in the kaiju-drifting machine, which became for me the sly sweet heart of it all). A demonstration of the degree of heart *and* physicality that even very big-ticket FX can convey when there's an honest will to avoid the opposite; mega-scale FX that don't drain either away. A baroque that doesn't curdle, that never fetishizes itself.

Jim Schembri's review of Pacific Rim

QuoteIn what is undoubtedly the worst big-screen film since M. Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender, director Guillermo del Toro delivers a blurry, big-budget mish-mash of robots wrestling with monsters that looks like the ugly love child of Transformers and Godzilla.

QuoteIf anything, the film looks, for all the world, like a quickly made Transformers rip-off. In fact, let's go further.

It's supposed to be against the law to say that Guillermo del Toro is anything other than a genius, a god to fanboys who worship him for Blade 2, Hellboy 1&2, The Devil's Backbone. (all good films) and Pan's Labyrinth. (an over-rated flick that won three Oscars).

QuoteIn what is undoubtedly the worst big-screen film since M. Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender, director Guillermo del Toro delivers a blurry, big-budget mish-mash of robots wrestling with monsters that looks like the ugly love child of Transformers and Godzilla.

QuoteIf anything, the film looks, for all the world, like a quickly made Transformers rip-off. In fact, let's go further.

It's supposed to be against the law to say that Guillermo del Toro is anything other than a genius, a god to fanboys who worship him for Blade 2, Hellboy 1&2, The Devil's Backbone. (all good films) and Pan's Labyrinth. (an over-rated flick that won three Oscars).

William Gibson's review of Pacific Rim.
He loved it and saw it twice in theaters:

QuoteA ravishing display of intelligent, often wonderfully witty visual design, every frame alive with coherent language, in the service of what is at heart a children's story. A children's story for a very dark time, our own, about a very dark time as children understand such things: monsters, from beneath the bed -- our own or the ocean's! It restores heroism to the realm of the humanistic, an extraordinary accomplishment given so much of the film culture of our day. The protagonists know, and demonstrate that they know, that it isn't about them. A sweetly simple fable, for all the titanic grandeur of its cosplay (which I took to be the message of the slowly pumping wooden bellows in the kaiju-drifting machine, which became for me the sly sweet heart of it all). A demonstration of the degree of heart *and* physicality that even very big-ticket FX can convey when there's an honest will to avoid the opposite; mega-scale FX that don't drain either away. A baroque that doesn't curdle, that never fetishizes itself.

A beautiful summation of why I loved this film so much.

Pacific Rim

Holy shit.

Holy.

Shit.

I have no words. Simply no words. Through out the whole movie I had the dumbest f**king grin on my face, something that hasn't happened to me with a movie since Iron Man back in 2008. Literally every second just left me with my jaw dropping at how gorgeous the visuals and sets were. Mako's flashback...just Mako's flash back when the Jaeger (can't remember the name) came out of the ash and smoke with the sun light beating down it's back after fighting Onibaba. That shot nearly made me shed tears of joy. The characters as cliche as they were I even enjoyed to some degree.

There were kids in that theater (and it was packed btw), who literally were laughing, smiling, cheering, and screaming. Even the parents and adults were getting into it, and when clapping was deserved people clapped (most of them started by one of my friends :laugh:).

Easily my favorite movie of the year by far. Everything else I had seen was cool and all, but it didn't leave too much of an impact (Man Of Steel, Iron Man 3, etc.), this however left an impression on me. It reminds me that movies still can still be fun. Something a lot of summer blockbusters seem to forget nowadays. When I was leaving everyone that watched it was smiling, and talking about it. Easily one of the best times I've had in the movie theater ever.

Spoiler
If I have one complaint it's that Raiju didn't have enough screentime and wasn't seen clearly (f**k he was cool), and that the final battle felt a bit short. However Otachi's scene alone has converted to me to her awesomeness. 8)

The last 3 days have made more than the previous 3 days combined. Word of mouth + Weekend effect? It'll fall to sixth place but the film will take it's time in the top 10, unlike a few new releases.

178 million $$ worldwide in 10 days. Nearly the full budget with a lot of places to open in, still.

Brazil and China are huge markets. .. and of course it'll do a ton of $ in japan. :laugh: Specially with the "thumbs up" from quite a few fanboy idols like Hideo Kojima. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1663662/releaseinfo?ref_=tt_dt_dt (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1663662/releaseinfo?ref_=tt_dt_dt)

To be fair, the last three days were weekend days.


Plus, after this weekend, Pacific Rim will either bet a the bottom of the top ten or out of it for U.S. The film should make back it's production budget worldwide, but we're still not counting the marketing budget.

It's estimated that Pacific Rim cost around 400 million to produce with marketing, according to moviefone.com's estimates, and:
http://entertainment.time.com/2013/07/14/despicable-and-grown-ups-sequels-pummel-pacific-rim/ (http://entertainment.time.com/2013/07/14/despicable-and-grown-ups-sequels-pummel-pacific-rim/)


It's not making 400 million any time soon, which would just break even.

No matter how you cut it, Pacific Rim is a financial disappointment. The degree of which just can't be determined quite yet.

400 million $ budget with marketing.. right gtfo with that number.  :laugh:

i read elsewhere that with marketing it's closer to 210-230 million.

But keep waving the FLOP! flag.

I have yet to stumble onto anything that says they only spent 20 million on Pacific Rim's marketing :P I've only read about the huge numbers.

20 million for Pacific Rim's marketing...considering they spent 190 million to make it...

That would be disturbing.


...and it's pretty much a universal consensus that Pacific Rim is a financial failure for Legendary Pictures, especially since they put up 75% of the budget.

I'm not buying the whole 400 million budget. I highly doubt they spend over 200 million on marketing the movie. I think they likely spend $30 - $50 million marketing the most. The movie might reach 350 million worldwide before the year is over. The movie already out gross Battleship in the US.

That is the way a film is usually viewed.
Breaking even is not considered a failure, just average.

Plus there are still home media sales, and that can do wonders for a film's future as a franchise.

They spent 130 million on marketing for The Last Air Bender, and The Last Air Bender only cost 150 million to make, which is much cheaper than Pacific Rim.

Transformers 2 had a marketing budget of 150 million.

Sounds like they just took what del Toro said about ideas for the sequel and married it the fact that Legendary Pictures was interested in a sequel a year before the movie even came out.


A lot has changed since then.

And opens on the 31st in China, the biggest asian market. It's also only been out for 10 days and it's made 170+ million. Nearly all of it's production budget. It's not a HIT but it's not likely to be a total flop either.

It'll cost a lot less $$$$ at least. Closer to the 100 million range? The new film will probably have only a few jaegers and kaiju.

The usual $$ for marketing on a movie like this is.... 40, nearly 50 million?.. around that.

So the film has to make close to 230 million $$$ to start turning a profit. It's getting there.

Marketing isnt just as much as it's production budget like you wrote. :P



I suspect the mishandling of Pacific Rim's distribution and marketing had a big impact on Legendary's decision of abandoning Warner Brothers..... It opened on less theaters than grown ups 2. But still made "nearly" as much money as that film.

It is for a lot of summer blockbusters with similar or lesser budgets.

And I was just sharing what  information that is out there about the marketing budget. They're estimating a really big number :P


QuoteI suspect the mishandling of Pacific Rim's distribution and marketing had a big impact on Legendary's decision of abandoning Warner Brothers..... It opened on less theaters than grown ups 2. But still made "nearly" as much money as that film.

Well, Grown Ups 2 only opened up to 200 more theaters than Pacific Rim. And according to Box Office mojo, Pacific Rim made about $11,385 per theater (opening weekend). So if we go ahead and calculate Pacific Rim's missed revenue due to the lesser amount of theaters, you come up with a little over 2 million dollars (200 x 11,385). Grown Ups 2 made 5 million more than Pacific Rim, so Grown Ups 2 still would've beat it out.

You'll have to dig around. But it is their meaning of "total budget".

Avatar was the film with a 150 million dollar marketing budget, not transformers. 150 million was the production budget for that film... and Avatar is rumored to have cost a LOT more than that. (I've seen estimates for 500 million with the added marketing budget, of course).

You'll have to dig around. But it is their meaning of "total budget".

Say the first two Transformer films had a marketing budget of about 150 million each.

It says Revenge of the Fallen marketing cost 150 million.... nothing about the first film.

40 million is the average: http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/movie-marketing.htm (http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/movie-marketing.htm)

Transformers's marketing probably also counts the production budget for the huge movie toyline... wich is something that Pacific Rim doesnt have. (NECA isnt as big as Hasbro).

Oh yeah, for the average movie that sounds right.


But these movies (blockbusters) aren't budgeted like the average movie, and thus the statistic doesn't apply to them. Everything about a blockbuster is more expensive, including the marketing. Blockbusters are those few movies that drive up those averages. The reason why that average isn't higher is because there are far more "ordinary budget" movies that come out per year.

..actually 40 million is the marketing price for the average "blockbuster" movie. Transformers, Avatar, Last Airbender etc.. are exceptions...

From memory, marketing costs are only going up and up with each year's "round of blockbusters".. and it's been hitting an all time high as of late.

QuoteIn recent years, the general tactic has been to "go big." For expensive, blockbuster movies, the marketing campaign alone can cost as much as half of the total production budget [source: Vogel]. So if a film costs $80 million to make, the distributor might spend $40 million on advertising and promotion. In 2007, the average marketing budget for a theatrical release from a major Hollywood studio was $35.9 million

The average isn't 40 million for a blockbuster, he's saying that a studio can spend half of what they spent producing the movie on marketing. He just gives the example that an 80 million dollar film will have a marketing budget of 40 million :P


QuoteFrom memory, marketing costs are only going up and up with each year's "round of blockbusters".. and it's been hitting an all time high as of late

Makes sense. And we are talking about a current film's marketing, as well.

Half of a movie's production budget? I'd buy that as an average blockbuster marketing budget.

What are you waiting for, Christmas? Go!

I don't like spending money.

Then sneak in the theater like a cheap bitch go see it!

I live in the middle of no where.

Ask one of your friends to drive you to the theater.  If you say you have no friends who drive post a picture of you crying in a corner.

Del Toro has been asked many things about a sequel and he decided to spill some beans. He confirmed that Warner Bros has allowed he and his team to start writing a sequel, which is currently being worked on.

QuoteWarner Bros has bragging rights today for distributing the Legendary Pictures 3D scifi actioner around the world after co-financing it. I've learned the studio discovered this morning that last weekend's results came in $500K higher than forecast on Sunday. The result is that Guillermo Del Toro's Pacific Rim grossed $35.3M with 4.7M admissions from 9,610 screens in 50 territories. That was just enough to knock off Universal's 3D toon Despicable Me 2 and become the #1 film internationally over the weekend now that all the numbers are in. This brings the expensive $180M-$220M budget pic's international cume to $110.9M and its worldwide total to $178.5M. Unfortunately, U.S. theatrical sales are not expected to exceed $100M all in so overseas coin is crucial. Foreign territories for Pacific Rim opening last weekend included France, Germany, Hong Kong, and Holland. The movie already has debuted in major markets Russia, Korea, Mexico, UK, Australia, and Italy. Upcoming releases include July 31st for China, Spain, Japan, and August 9th for Brazil.

And it should be a clone of Otachi.... with lasers for eyes.

My first I think was Battle Of The Planets (aka Gatchaman).  Doesn't really stand up as much now.  Robotech, however, does.  At least the first series.  I recently rewatched the entire run.  It's let down by The Southern Cross saga, which drags on too long and makes me want to slap Dana Sterling for being so unbelievably naive.  Picks up again with the Invid stuff but never reaches the heights of Macross.  The McKinney books really help sew the thing together much more tightly.

I've yet to rewatch Star Blazers (aka Space Battleship Yamato) in the last 30 years, but the live action movie was fun.

It made sense in the movie though.  You could technically do that, but you'd also irradiate the pacific ocean and have radiation poisoning every major water way if you KEPT nuking everything.  I think there would probably be consequences for using a super nuke like they did in the film for some country some where.

For anyone who thinks Pacific Rim was stupid, not mentioning any names.

Amazing.

Pacific Rim truly is a masterpiece.

It's the only fun film I can think of that has shades of seriousness. What I mean is, these days, either a film is flat out fun and enjoyable but doesn't really have a serious tone to it (i.e. Avengers) or, is a brilliant film but I don't think too many people would call it fun (i.e. TDKR).

I think Pacific Rim just suffers immensely from one Thing: it's a huge fanboy movie.

It's the reason why it has really failed at the box Office... the Trailers for the movie were absolutely horrible... you just saw 3 things: Monsters, Robots, Idris Elba doing a (fantastic) speech... that's just not enough for a Budget of 190 Million Dollars. The General audience had nothing to relate to. Hunham did a fairly respectable Job as the lead and actually had a really nice chemistry going on with Miko... was there any glimpse of that in the Marketing? Yeah like 2 weeks before release with the last Trailers... -.-

Yes everybody here feels great about the fact they got their hardcore kaijus fighting hardcore jaegers , but I am really sad and disappointed... I had such high hopes for the movie... but when I saw were they went with the Trailers I just knew it wouldn't take off... now I won't get a Sequel because WB f**ked up the Marketing for this movie... the Franchise would have been so promising... instead I have to see the lame transformer-franchise getting Sequel after Sequel greenlit...


The movie itself was alright... I actually liked the characters they put in, though pretty predictable, they had a lot of heart...

The fights were choreographed beautifully, but to set every single one of them in darkness just took the fun out of them for me and after a while it started getting totally repetetive... the whole underwater fight Scene left me just confused and irritated...

Unfortunately, this is one of my biggest disappointments of the year... movie was fine, just not the masterpiece I'd hoped for...

So what happened is that the two scientists drifted with the brain of a Kaiju, and somehow pull out all of this information that  humanity really needed at that exact moment, which kind of reminds me of a Spray n' Seal repair, except instead of roofs, it's with the plot. So they spew out all of this information in 10 brief seconds, and then we're all set for the next act. That's when we first hear about the random extraterrestrial beings (the ones that took like the Independence day Aliens) that live in the void and wish to inhabit our planet during the last 10 minutes of the movie. And so the robots go down to the bottom of the ocean to enter the void, where we see the monsters circling the robots on their journey, instead of just stopping the robots from getting closer to the void right then and there. Once the robots make it to the void, that's when the fighting happens, and ends with a robot riding the portal with monster's DNA. And since the extraterrestrial  beings apparently decided that they only needed to protect the other side of the void (not even their side), Gipsy Danger is just allowed to float on their side of the portal with a self-destruct button. Before the big BOOM, Mako shoots out of the robot in an escape pod and somehow is able to travel the portal without monster DNA. She apparently survives the water pressure and resurfaces, where her boyfriend pops up also. He, of course, has no pulse, until a hug from Mako revives him somehow.

...that ending? :P

^ Making the ending even more stupid and contrived.  :laugh:

...it's like you don't remember that ending to Pacific Rim. :P

Oh you mad?

Stay mad.  :laugh:

...I have nothing to be mad about. Your movie bombed at the box office, while Stark Trek made 450 million at the box office and had greater critical reception :P

Del Toro made a point to showcase the Americans as crudely as possible because he feels Mexicans are done so in Hollywood pictures.

I think Pacific Rim just suffers immensely from one Thing: it's a huge fanboy movie.

It's the reason why it has really failed at the box Office... the Trailers for the movie were absolutely horrible... you just saw 3 things: Monsters, Robots, Idris Elba doing a (fantastic) speech... that's just not enough for a Budget of 190 Million Dollars. The General audience had nothing to relate to. Hunham did a fairly respectable Job as the lead and actually had a really nice chemistry going on with Miko... was there any glimpse of that in the Marketing? Yeah like 2 weeks before release with the last Trailers... -.-

Yes everybody here feels great about the fact they got their hardcore kaijus fighting hardcore jaegers , but I am really sad and disappointed... I had such high hopes for the movie... but when I saw were they went with the Trailers I just knew it wouldn't take off... now I won't get a Sequel because WB f**ked up the Marketing for this movie... the Franchise would have been so promising... instead I have to see the lame transformer-franchise getting Sequel after Sequel greenlit...


The movie itself was alright... I actually liked the characters they put in, though pretty predictable, they had a lot of heart...

The fights were choreographed beautifully, but to set every single one of them in darkness just took the fun out of them for me and after a while it started getting totally repetetive... the whole underwater fight Scene left me just confused and irritated...

Unfortunately, this is one of my biggest disappointments of the year... movie was fine, just not the masterpiece I'd hoped for...

Marketing wasn't the problem. The trailers represented the movie well, the problem is the movie itself. As you said it's a fanboy movie. Nothing more. I am not a fan of this stuff and wasn't going to see it until a mate dragged me along and tbh was underwhelmed.

You will probably get a sequel.  The world gross is going to make up for poor domestic sales as it hasn't already released in Japan and China (or has just released) and it has been kicking ass everywhere not named the United States.

Nah, when Thomas Tull was asked, he said atm there's nothing he can promise... that's Producer slang for "not gonna happen"...
And with a movie that should Launch a Franchise, it should rock the domestic box Office...

On the continent, it's doing very poorly, as a matter of fact... the biggest Cinema in the nearest City Held the premiere in hall 8... hall 8 is... a bit bigger than my living room...



Btw: has this nice interview surfaced? Del Toro and Tull comparing Pacific rim to 2014 Godzilla, an interesting read...

Why would mankind make huge robots to fight giant monsters? how would they know these robots are effective against the monster? doesn't it seem like a HUGE time consuming gamble? why didn't the monsters destroy the robots whilst in construction? surely they would be easy to spot? why not use all that massive technology to make a more suitable weapon?.

So do these robots 'punch' the monsters to death? really?? how?? surely the robots are MASSIVELY slow, surely the monsters can see a punch coming a mile off and react, surely it would take AGES to reset the machine after such a huge movement, in fact surely it would takes ages for these HUGE robots to do anything action wise. These monsters must be REAL slow, or real dumb.

Why once the robots are build do they make them difficult to control? why not make them so anyone can handle them if needed to (after training). Surely that would make more sense just in case the pilots get killed? its pretty obvious emergencies are gonna happen.

Why on earth make them only usable through mind melds??!! talk about hampering yourself geez!.

I didn't hate Pacific Rim. I enjoyed the ride.


I just didn't think the film had any mentionable qualities outside of CGI, and that future fanboy films should look to Pacific Rim as an example of the potential danger that crafting a film solely for monster, robot, and action enthusiasts can carry.

Why once the robots are build do they make them difficult to control? why not make them so anyone can handle them if needed to (after training). Surely that would make more sense just in case the pilots get killed? its pretty obvious emergencies are gonna happen.

Why on earth make them only usable through mind melds??!! talk about hampering yourself geez!.

o.O

suspension of disbelief much?

Yes I know and I know when to go that way but I'm just one of these people that can't help but ask these questions lol! I just can't. I notice things all the time whether it be plot holes, continuity, effects etc...

Obviously I know how this film is angled but its still taken semi seriously so I can't help but pick at very obvious...niggles.

Why would mankind make gigantic robots??!! pretty stupid really, they would be SOOOOOOO slow and with no know effectiveness.

I think movies should be judged by what they're trying to be and whether or not they stack up to this goal. I don't think I've ever seen a movie accomplish exactly what it sets out to do as well as PR did in recent memory, outside of maybe The Avengers.

True but you still gotta ask yourself these things because they just jump out at you. OK the film is about huge robots deing made to stop huge monsters...but why make huge robots? lol! straight off the bat, why????. Wouldn't it take YONKS to make them?! I mean seriously these things just jump out at me dunno about you guys.

Yes its silly fantasy but these are questions integral to the plot surely!. You want the audience to take it semi seriously, its not a silly film to that sense, well you gotta expect the questions.

Why would mankind make huge robots to fight giant monsters? how would they know these robots are effective against the monster? doesn't it seem like a HUGE time consuming gamble? why didn't the monsters destroy the robots whilst in construction? surely they would be easy to spot? why not use all that massive technology to make a more suitable weapon?.

So do these robots 'punch' the monsters to death? really?? how?? surely the robots are MASSIVELY slow, surely the monsters can see a punch coming a mile off and react, surely it would take AGES to reset the machine after such a huge movement, in fact surely it would takes ages for these HUGE robots to do anything action wise. These monsters must be REAL slow, or real dumb.

Why once the robots are build do they make them difficult to control? why not make them so anyone can handle them if needed to (after training). Surely that would make more sense just in case the pilots get killed? its pretty obvious emergencies are gonna happen.

Why on earth make them only usable through mind melds??!! talk about hampering yourself geez!.

o.O

suspension of disbelief much?

Yes I know and I know when to go that way but I'm just one of these people that can't help but ask these questions lol! I just can't. I notice things all the time whether it be plot holes, continuity, effects etc...

Obviously I know how this film is angled but its still taken semi seriously so I can't help but pick at very obvious...niggles.

True but you still gotta ask yourself these things because they just jump out at you. OK the film is about huge robots deing made to stop huge monsters...but why make huge robots?

Because there would be no giant robots vs giant monsters. Why else would I be watching this?

Quote
Yes its silly fantasy but these are questions integral to the plot surely!. You want the audience to take it semi seriously, its not a silly film to that sense, well you gotta expect the questions.

It is a silly film. It's entire premise is silly. The characters of the film take the premise seriously, but the film itself is not. It's just about fun, that's it. Like I said, if you can't just sit back and take the premise as is, the film isn't for you.

But you don't want to know why? you like the film, are you not curious about the why's and hows? I usually like to know as much as possible about a film. If I find myself asking questions about the plot, maybe something doesn't make sense, not explained then its frustrating.

Yes its a silly film yes I know, I know its suppose to be just fun...but still! how did these monsters get to our realm? why? do they have an agenda? were they sent by someone? are they intelligent? why are they rampaging through our cities? etc....

I just like to know, I ask myself these things whilst watching films. Its like...yes I enjoyed this film BUT I'd enjoy a lot more if I knew this that and the other.

All these questions are answered in the film.

As far as why they built the jaegers to battle the monsters, it's because nothing else worked. Simple, and I will accept that reason.

LOL! oh...so it has flopped then. If you check the clip I put up from RedLetterMedia (last page I think) they say its because everyone is fed up with destruction porn and thinks this film just looks like another 'Battleship/Transformers' type fiasco. Guess they are right.



Oh and the word 'niggles'  ::) If I'm right in thinking this, no its not a naughty word sheesh!.

This article is great! ;D

QuoteWhen people say that Pacific Rim is a "dumb movie," what exactly do they mean? Is it code for "I liked a movie about mechas fighting monsters, but I'm kind of embarrassed about it, so I'll say it's dumb to prove that I'm smart"? Is it a reaction to the fact that the plot wasn't some convoluted mess that you had to "figure out" á la Inception or the later Matrix movies? Is it discomfort with the absence of an Important Life Lesson neatly spelled out over the closing credits? Is it just that it wasn't dark enough? It's probably one or more of all of the above.

QuoteLet's go back even further and peel off the gloss of nostalgia that covers those glorious touchstones of our youth. Star Wars? You have a boy named Luke Skywalker fighting an evil galactic empire, and the main bad guy—toweringly huge, clad entirely in black, and with a name that screams "villain"—is practically a caricature of movie evil. Raiders of the Lost Ark? The hero is trying to stop Nazis from stealing the Ark of the Covenant and the hero's name is Indiana Jones. If you have a problem with a name like "Stacker Pentecost" and not with that, I can't help you.

Pacific Rim isn't an established franchise, they're probably expand on the why and how once the series gets more entries.

There will be more?? I thought it had somewhat failed.

LOL! oh...so it has flopped then. If you check the clip I put up from RedLetterMedia (last page I think) they say its because everyone is fed up with destruction porn and thinks this film just looks like another 'Battleship/Transformers' type fiasco. Guess they are right.



Oh and the word 'niggles'  ::) If I'm right in thinking this, no its not a naughty word sheesh!.

It didn't really flop, but it definitely under-performed. Overall positive reviews though. They might go for another round.

Easily the most ridiculous thing I've read about Pacific Rim to date. Trying to analyze those who do not like the movie is more of an attempt to rationalize why no one liked this mind numbing Robot vs Monster movie. The author didn't even bring up any substantial reasons why Pacific Rim wasn't dumb, other than the whole "reminded me of the great movies of the past" stuff. Which made me lol. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:


Allow me to retaliate with something that wasn't produced by a fan trying to justify all of Pacific Rim's faults :

Quote"Pacific Rim," an action movie about the possible destruction of the human race, inadvertently makes the case that extinction might not be so bad, after all. If this is the best we can do in terms of movies - if something like this can speak to the soul of audiences - maybe we should just turn over the cameras and the equipment to the alien dinosaurs and see what they come up with.

QuoteFully half of "Pacific Rim" consists of computer renderings of Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots (or something close) fighting with computerized images of monster dinosaurs. These images - shown in rapid-fire cuts so you almost have no time to notice they're mundane - are accompanied by a soundtrack of nonstop noise: Blaring brass instruments, sounds of waves crashing, a soaring chorus ("Ahh! Ohh! Ahh!") and the deafening clang of grinding machinery.

In between the combat scenes, we get the gentler interludes, in which forthright but stupid people get into pointless emotional conflicts for the sake of creating some illusion of human spectacle. If we do end up rooting for them over the invaders, it's because, biologically, we happen to be on their team. But next to these guys, the alien dinosaurs keep looking better and better.

QuoteDirector Guillermo del Toro, who gave us "Pan's Labyrinth" not too many years ago, used to be known as an artistic and discerning filmmaker, despite his affection for blockbuster action and grotesqueness. But too often he gets lost in his computer. Here is what passes for clever in "Pacific Rim": A dinosaur sprouts wings, grabs a metal giant and flies high into the air. Or another one: A metal giant picks up two train cars and boxes a dinosaur's ears with them. Some, to be sure, will love these moments, but they reek of the computer screen. Why go to the movies to look at somebody else's computer after looking at your own all week?

This is totally non-biased, Aspie, but :laugh: that blog basically illustrated what's most awesome about Pac Rim as if it were some sort of flaw. Clearly, another case of horribly misguided expectations for a film and/or a pretentious case of snobbery. :laugh:

I don't care for the movie, but I do care for the potential of the franchise. If del Toro is somehow able to make a sequel, maybe he can showcase his overall talent and bring a truly great movie to the screen. One that has characters we care about and can remember. A movie that is actually smart, as opposed to just unimaginably colorful.

I'm very interested in the Pacific Rim universe, I just don't think this first installment is worth a second watch. But I do think Pacific Rim deserves a second chance. Maybe with a more talented director, like Duncan Jones. But a sequel should happen. :P

If you want a well executed, fun take on that basic idea, that is a blast to watch, Pacific Rim is your thing.

Moving the story away from the "Evangelion-lack of fun-ANGSTY-aS-f**k" angle was a good way of setting Pacific Rim apart from other mecha stuff.

If del toro had made it bit less broad it wouldn't have changed the financial outcome of this film one bit.

Not being a fan of anime or big monster/big robot movies, I went into it expecting to see robots and monsters beating the shit out of each other, and that's what I got. 

Unfortunately the Coen brothers and Oliver Stone don't venture into the "big things beating the shit out of each other" territory, I don't really know what people were expecting other than....

big monsters and robots fighting on screen, throw ron Pearlman and Idris Elba into the mix, along with Del Toro's amazing ability to design creatures, gorgeous visuals and a story that was okay, I walked away very happy with what I saw

Well look at this....according to Boxoffice Mojo as of 07/28 PR's grossed:

Domestic:$84,026,000
Foreign:  $140,000,000

Total: $224,026,000

Not only has it made its budget ($190 million) back but is on pace to make over $320 million worldwide!  So with this plus dvd/blue-ray rentals and sales then merchadising, you all think they might green light a sequel?

...you're not including marketing in the budget. And how is it going to gross another 100 million ???
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: That Yellow Alien on Jul 28, 2013, 07:36:11 PM
I don't know about 100 million, but it still has to be released in some countries, including Japan.

It'll be one of those films that makes more money on home video.
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: Aspie on Jul 28, 2013, 07:43:34 PM
Japan will chip in 20 million.

Brazil will probably put 10-15 million in.

I see Pacific Rim around 270-280 million overall at the box office.
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: Blacklabel on Jul 28, 2013, 07:45:58 PM
I've seen predictions for 70 million in Japan alone given how crazy they are about this kind of stuff... :P

It'll make some decent cash in China as well.

As it has been said, if they ever greenlight a sequel, the budget is gonna be a lot smaller.

Wich isnt a problem really.... there's still plenty they can do.

Post by: Kimarhi on Jul 28, 2013, 07:47:06 PM
Some place I looked at yesterday said that if you included marketing it has to make 240 million to break even.  It is right there, so if it didn't cost the studio anything, and turns a profit, I don't see why it wouldn't be greenlit for a sequel.

Especially seeing as how it hasn't been released in certain countries, and agreeing with Yellow that it will do better on home release than it did in theater.  Just like the original Terminator.

Japan is also where giant fighting robots came from.................the popularized the idea.  I expect it to do very well since they don't have the budget typically to make those kinds of movies and rely mostly on animation to tell those stories.

190 million for a first movie in an unproven franchise is pretty ridiculous though.

I remember reading that Legendary funded most of the movie while WB handled the marketing costs. There's a conspiracy that WB intentionally sucked up the marketing because of their recent split.

If this is indeed the case, neither Legendary or WB are out the pocket as much as they could have been.

Instead of Newt tracking down Hannibal for a kaiju brain, in the original draft, he and Flick track down a scientist in the Aussie outback to learn about how they can destroy the interstice. The scientist has a kaiju brain, has drifted with it, and what he saw drove him insane. He detonates a nuke. Flick and Newt barely make it out, shortly after Flick drifts with the kaiju brain and sees what the scientist saw. After this, they know how to destroy the interstice: Nuke the throat.

While Flick didn't make it into the movie, a reporter with a different name appears in the prequel comics who flirts with Yance and Raleigh, leading to some conflict between them.

Those eighteen-inchers can get pricey, yeah? I haven't bought a figure for ages... would love to get my hands on that 18" Cherno Alpha if they make one. :o :-* :o and they f**king better. Those guys have quite the following, I hear. :laugh: Glad I wasn't the only one that liked them.

I liked the Chinese, too, but that honestly feels like rooting for the Chopper predator in AvP. ;D Typhoon gets the epic hurl-the-kaiju-hunreds-of-meters while Chopper has the c**t-punt-to-the-stomach-across-the-room action before he gets his. At least that's something.

No idea. Himantura probably didn't fit the man-in-a-suit aesthetic.

In the end they had to select a certain number of monsters, so these obviously were left behind. Meathead's tail was cosmetically modified and applied to Otachi, though.

Yeah it sucks. Also sucks that Karloff only got a split second shot and that Meathead didn't make it. Love Meathead's design. Reminds me of a monstrous locust.

Isn't Meathead in the prequel comic? I think I remember seeing his head in the cover.

It seems that China will be the great decider for a sequel. All the experts say if China gives PR a 50 million contribution, it'll allow PR to thrive in Japan and Brazil enough so that a dialogue can at least be open about making a sequel.

But the new Fast and Furious movie just opened there, and had the biggest Chinese opening to date.

It's gonna be rough. It looks like PR will barely squeak to just 90 million in the U.S., so these foreign markets need to come up HUGE for PR.

I saw this movie last week and while I enjoyed it really dragged its ass in some areas. But when the action took over the movie was on its game. Thankfully the last hour was nothing but action. Del Toro movies have always had this problem though, well for me at least.

The Hellboy movies (as good as they are) have this problem as well. A lot of talking that comes off not very interesting. But in the end after you watch the movie you realize these moments were needed. I wasn't sure I was going to like the characters in Pacific Rim because at the start they all seemed kind of cardboard but after the movie was over I came to care for everyone of them.
Spoiler
I hated seeing Stacker Pentecost bite it. He was a cool character and probably my favorite.

One thing about the movie that didn't really stand out for me and that was the score. I don't really remember much of it and maybe that was one of the reasons why the movie kind of lagged for me. It wasn't very impressive. Pretty by the numbers if you ask me.

But I enjoyed the film because the monsters and the robot fights stole the show. That's what I really wanted to see and that's what I got. Also, you know its a good monster movie when you leave the theater and want to go and start a Godzilla marathon.  ;)

7.5/10

Nice review echobase. The score is kind of generic, but there are some great moments in between the mediocrity. Listening to it by itself is a better experience. Reminds me of Elfman's Terminator: Salvation score which wasn't that bad, but you could hardly hear any of it in the film. Was much better just by itself on disc or Youtube or something.

It is pretty varied, too. It ranges from really emotional (Mako) to character oriented (Hannibal Chau, with its oriental-inspired elements, and Call Me Newt), to contemplative (Pentecost), to 'hey look at this cool stuff' (The Shatterdome) to big and heavy (2500 Tons Of Awesome) to just plain fist-pumping hell-yeah (Pacific Rim, No Pulse, Go Big or Go Extinct).

Yeah I think the main theme is the weakest, but combined with that film, it still gets your blood pumping. The kaiju themes, chanting and drums, are great, and the downtown Hong Kong themes are very whimsical and have a definite Del Toro/Troll Market kind of feel. A much better soundtrack than you can tell from watching the film, sadly.

I actually bought the album for the sake of it.  ::)

The main theme kicks ass, and so does most of the other tracks. The only downside is that some tracks aren't even a minute long. Still, I think it's worth getting.

I love that track too- it's my favorite- but I love the rest as well. The Mako track always gets me, and the Pacific Rim theme builds in a really nice way. The Hannibal Chau and Call Me Newt tracks are pretty individualized, too.

I listened to the music. I'm not referring to that version, but the same tune and motif is repeated ad nauseam throughout the whole movie.

I didn't hate it, didn't really like it. I just found it cheap. It's like they pushed too much to make the tune stick to people's ears (probably an agreement with a ringtones company, I guess).

I just listened someone saying "wow, this music really stuck within people's heads, they were mumbling to this at the theater bathroom). I wanted to slap him, "Of course the music stuck! They repeated it like 20 times in the movie!!".

It's a motif. It's repeated. But it's not the same arrangement. The differences per track range from subtle to total remix.

I'll give a listen to the whole OST, still.

China controls the momentum for Japan and Brazil, and it opens in China tomorrow.

Nnnn..ooo, I'd say that one was pretty clear-minded.

What he is essentially saying is this, Pacific Rim must end here because it only has a niche audience. Nothing more. (Which isn't true.) But Godzilla should get sequels regardless of G'14 having a cliff-hanger ending or not. Plus there's 28 or so Godzilla films out there yet he wants more.

But none for Pacific Rim. It must only be a single film! Why? If PR2 comes out more people will now know what it is and its guaranteed to be more successful. Plus we'd get another movie about jaegers battling kaiju.

Personally I want as many Godzilla, PR sequels as possible. I just don't understand why he wants PR to stop.

Godzilla is only moderately less niche than PR is.

Alien3, Because trolling.


Might I remind that 'giant Monster' films are not exactly mainstream now and have not been since the what, the 50s? Godzilla is pretty damn well known... but I think that has far more to do with the character being referenced in loads of mainstream media (thanks to fans being capillarily diffused) than most people actually watching any of the films.

And the only way they'll ever be big in mainstream is if the studios make sequels and other movies from the genre.

The highest of which comes from websites and reviewers that are very much rooted in the del Toro fan base and fanboy/fangirl culture.

And the film's overall $$$ gross dictates whether or not a sequel will be made. And with Pacific Rim...the Apocalypse is Looming in that regard.

Already a story that's be told though, so it lacks any real element of surprise, twists, or unheard of developments, that movies such as the Star Wars Prequels, X-Men: First Class, The Godfather Part II, , or, hell, even Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes had going for them. You knew the end result, but they had many fascinating and unchronicled developments that were more than deserving of a movie. This would essentially be backtracking on chronicled (and canon) expanded reading, basically making it a mere adaptation of the comic (and likely the ones that are soon to follow).

Obviously they'd throw some new (and expand on) scenes, Jaegers and Kaiju in there, but that doesn't really hold much worth in making an entire movie based around it.

If they can find out how to bring the Jaegers, Kaiju, and a way between dimensions back into the fold that doesn't diminish the end of the first movie, all the power to them, but it seems they've got a 'problem' if they're serious about a sequel.

That actually sounds pretty cool (don't know if it was truly another planet or a real entirely different [alternate] universe), perhaps in an attempt to extract and leach off of their technologies; this could lead them also finding a way back to Earth, but I can't imagine they'd want it that badly anymore.

Not necessarily.

Regardless of it hypothetically being an adaptation of the prequel comic or not (which it does not have to be), it would be very similar to seeing an adaptation of a book you have already read (assuming it does not take too many liberties).

Then again I have never had problems with stories I already know the outcome of, so yeah.

G.I. Joe made 150 million dollars at the domestic Box Office. Pacific Rim doesn't look like it will even crack 100 million.

Not to mention that G.I. Joe was a tad cheaper.

It's not more important.

See, I would describe it as more along the lines of Cubic Zirconia. Very pretty to look at, and when it's made my a competent individual, seems to represent quality.

But in reality, it's just generic stone with hollow value.

There's always a massive chunk of money that comes from international ticket sales. Some movies would've been considered bombs if the rest of the world didn't boost their profits.

I suppose you're right that investors, producers, movie studios whatever pay more attention to US box office numbers, but it seems like any savvy financier couldn't deny the importance of international sales. It becomes much more important if the US numbers are lower than expected, as well.

When people talk about Alien they usually talk about how exciting the film was and how good and unique the monsters were! OH NOES!

International money is still money.


I'm just saying that the domestic box office is still an extremely important indicator of box office success and whether or not a  sequel should be made. For Hollywood, the U.S. is still the biggest market on an individual country basis. The international box office is also much harder to predict for released movies.

...The difference being that those movies were solid-to-great all around, and didn't need detailed and expansive stories because they were small in scale. Nothing apocalyptic like Pacific Rim. Pacific Rim had the special effects on it's side, but unlike Alien and Predator, the rest was pretty shit.

Aspie, in fact I might put Pacific Rim close to Predator, tbh. Predator is full of action movie cliches and ridiculousness (those Arnie 1-liners) but pulls it together by having good performances, a convincing plot, and a terrifying monster/protagonist that was also very real.

The only real difference I see in Pac Rim is the weakness of some characters and their arcs, and some acting fails, but for the millionth time, it doesn't effect the film much because that's not the point. The characters have to meet a certain standard for the audience to give a shit, and they do. Throw in some drama (Yancy, Miko, Stacker, the Hansens, etc..) and you've got more than a solid enough frame to carry a visual-effects, comic book level apocalypse monster rock concert.

If the point of Predator were to portray perfect military accuracy or illustrate the horrors of jungle combat, it would be a failure. I feel like you could watch Predator and think that was the goal, then declare it a poor film because it didn't achieve this bogus goal you'd created in your mind. :laugh:

Pac Rim kaiju were scary, they felt real, they looked real, and so did the robots. The scale, the world, the way it was shot, a blaring success on so many fronts. Rational people just don't care about what you do Aspums, they don't go to a movie like that looking for deep characters. If you get them, hey, a bonus, but I find myself as an extremely critical person in general, not to mention a writer and artist, being satisfied by the characters Pac Rim gave me.

I feel like this: :laugh:

PS - damn it one more thing to add.. Predator was a product of its time just like Pac Rim, which is also something I think people consider. Look at the movies surrounding it, because no film exists in a vacuum. From the shit fest we endure these days, it stands head and shoulders above most things we get. Maybe you're right in that if it were compared to a series of quality, pioneering sci-fi/action films, it might come out as mediocre, but it's not.

Id agree 100% with that as its been mentioned its part of the reason the film is predominantly set in Hong Kong.

As an Australian i can say the Aussie economy already greatly depends on the success of Asian economies.

Godzilla has already permeated the Asian culture enough so that this new film won't need these tactics, although I wouldn't mind a little Asian influence.

Pacific Rim had to do it because it was new, and a little unsure of itself.

I'm aware of this (I run a pr fan site :) ) I still haven't seen it in 2d apparently the parallax of the 3d reduces the perceived scale of the kauji/jaegers, also would definitely make the film less dark, which would be preferable to me.

Really? How odd... I really don't like 3D tbh, would suck if you had to see everything in it.

I know, I'm not a fan either. Avatar was the only film that I loved in 3D. I just don't understand this practice of theirs <_<

I think you'll find it's probably a bigger cultural thing in the west than say China

Also what i mentioned before is a law for showing films in Chinese cinemas if you don't meet those criteria you can show the film.

I'm sure with Godzilla, they'll find a way to meet those criteria. Especially since Toho was involved in assisting with the film.

You do know that China is separate from Japan? Haha

Pacific Rim did that:

I'm aware of this (I run a pr fan site :) ) I still haven't seen it in 2d apparently the parallax of the 3d reduces the perceived scale of the kauji/jaegers, also would definitely make the film less dark, which would be preferable to me.

QuoteYou do know that China is separate from Japan? Haha

LOL yes, but they will have a better understanding of these laws and help the U.S. movie studios navigate through them, since their interests are involved as well.

I saw it in 2D, and it looked amaze. But I didn't watch it in 3D, so I can't compare.

I agree that a Dredd sequel should preferably have more of a budget than that, but I really do think that Moon is proof that, if they played their cards right, they could pull it off on that small a budget.

Unless the scale of the sequel is supposed to be much larger than the first one.

Quote from: KiramidHeadWhat I want most from a Dredd sequel is more exploration of the world it takes place in. I highly doubt a Cursed Earth story would be workable on a reduced budget.

Alex Garland said he would need almost twice the budget of the first movie for a sequel:

Quote from: Alex Garland, Dredd screenwriter and producerIf there is a sequel, I'm imagining spending about half the movie in the Cursed Earth, and I would try to come up with some new faces as well as some old ones.

If I was involved in a second movie, it would be about origins and subversion, and Chopper would feature.  In fact, I think Chopper would start and end the story.  Apart from him, my rough plan involves Fargo, Giant, Angel Gang, and a version of Satanus.  For a trilogy, add Cal and the dark judges.  And Anderson would be in all three.  But... just to be clear, this is hugely speculative and also unlikely, for any number of reasons. 

If you want a figure [for a sequel], I'll say $60M, just in case someone actually offers the money to do it...

'fraid a Kickstarter campaign won't be able to generate the kind of funds a medium-to-high budget feature film requires.
Best bet is just to get everyone you know to sign the Official 2000AD petition (http://2000adonline.us5.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=a6e40236aa24d482cfff600d2&id=62906ebdcc).

Quote from: Aspie on Aug 01, 2013, 07:33:22 PMPacific Rim had to do it because it was new, and a little unsure of itself.

Pac Rim was very sure of itself, certainly story wise. It had a light tone but took itself seriously and not in the dark 'n gritty way. Unlike a lot of contemporary genre movies it didn't feel the need to poke fun at itself for an increasingly snarky and ironic audience. I for one adored that, especially as a big fan of this subgenre, which at its best is totally earnest.

Quote from: Aspie on Aug 01, 2013, 07:42:43 PMI'm sure with Godzilla, they'll find a way to meet those criteria. Especially since Toho was involved in assisting with the film.

To be fair Toho approved of everything that went into the '98 film. They are a business and they want to make money (hence the creators of Independence Day). They might own the character but they don't always know what to do with him. It's up to the filmmakers to get that right. And as time as shown they give too much control to the wrong people (Emmerich and Devlin, Kitamura) while holding others back (Kaneko).

And now...

Saw it in 3D the first time, 2D the second time. I'm not really getting the complaint that it was too dark on my end, because the lighting experience was the exact same on my end; after about three minutes it all sunk in to perspective (literally) and felt like very natural viewing - and without the 'shrinking' factor on the Kaiju and Jaegers that del Toro had feared may take over.

The 3D felt a bit more immerse, causing a great sense of spectacle, but the 2D allowed a lot more wandering of the eyes to take in the insane attention to detail.

You know, I might be warming up partially to Raiju. I just don't understand whether the external protection is in fact a head or just a protective crest.

In the former case I miiiight like the creature more.

From what I can gather, it's a mix of both. Raiju seems to use the closed version when gaining speed and can likely use it similar to Knifehead's forehead if it wanted to. It's actual jaws that are capable of giving any actual bite force, however, is on the inside of the three crests.

Outside the film the external 'eyes' seem to be holes for the internal eyes... but during the film I got the impression that eyes were on the inside and the outside... in which case I would like the design better.

So I ended up seeing this again in IMAX 3D yesterday. The IMAX was fantastic, but the 3D was hit and miss. Wasn't utilized as much as  I thought it would be.

Dirt smudges on the screen was the most prominent 3D effect for some reason

f**king awesome.

After seeing Pacific Rim a second time, I feel pretty confident when I say that Cherno Alpha could have beaten Otachi if Leatherback hadn't surprise-attacked them like a bitch. Otachi only had one of Cherno's arms in a hold. They could have smashed Otachi off with their other arm or burned it with their lava tubes or something.  :(

Cherno was pretty much screwed because of the acid-melt anyways. That said, they might have survived if Striker was able to get there in time.
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: Dovahkiin on Aug 04, 2013, 05:37:49 AM
Well the acid mostly hit on the "head" of the jaeger whereas the pilots were situated in the chest. As Leatherback leaps from the water, Cherno seems to be reeling back a fist to punch Otachi. Otachi then might have been flung off and finished by Cherno. Ehh...I don't know. I just hate that Crimson Typhoon and Cherno Alpha got the shaft so bad...  :'(

Well look at this....according to Boxoffice Mojo as of 07/28 PR's grossed:

Domestic:$84,026,000
Foreign:  $140,000,000

Total: $224,026,000

Not only has it made its budget ($190 million) back but is on pace to make over $320 million worldwide!  So with this plus dvd/blue-ray rentals and sales then merchadising, you all think they might green light a sequel?

According to Boxoffice Mojo it made close to $5 million in the US and $60 million around the world this weekend bringing the total for the US to $94 million and the Foreign to $200 million so now the total gross is at $294 million.  So it looks like PR will gross close to $400 million world wide when all said and done.

You need to at least double your budget to be a success, especially with something as expensive as PR. Those grosses don't take into account the theater's cut, advertisement, distribution, etc.

If I could design my own Jaegar, I'd give it Doc Ock arms. I think they could come in handy during a fight; grab ahold of a kaiju with two at least, then use my fists and the other two arms to pummel away.

What would you guys include in a custom design?

Both of these things. And the laser would be a hand-held item so that it doesn't rely on the Jaeger's energy. And it would be slender, lightly armored, but fast and flexible.

And it would be red.

I don't know if you saw the movie, but he didn't have a villainous bone in his body, he didn't even take the marrow.

He's not Gaius Baltar or Seth Brundle; his character was endearing and wanted to prevent destruction (not even obsessed with the Kaiju to a dangerous extent), so there's absolutely no call for a 360 180 take on his character.
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films

To be honest it would fit in line with the original script, drifting with the kaiju would make you mental, as deltoro said tho, people really like Newt so it'd probably piss the audience off.

You guys need to think of this through "lovecraftian" lens.... hannibal drifted with a kaiju.. all the kaiju share a "hive mind"... ..i suspect Del Toro wants to have one of the aliens.. "possessing" one of the guys that drifted with a kaiju... they could have the film start with Newt having "blackouts" every once in a while.. trying to figure out what's going on and inevitably fighting to keep his mind free from alien shenanigans.

This is sounding like one of the less bullshitty ideas for a sequel's central cause for destruction (and reason to bring out the Jaegers and Kaiju again).

You guys need to think of this through "lovecraftian" lens.... hannibal drifted with a kaiju.. all the kaiju share a "hive mind"... ..i suspect Del Toro wants to have one of the aliens.. "possessing" one of the guys that drifted with a kaiju... they could have the film start with Newt having "blackouts" every once in a while.. trying to figure out what's going on and inevitably fighting to keep his mind free from alien shenanigans.

Its interesting cause a lot of the Lovecraftian stuff was removed from film, was definitely in the initial script, i thought Del toro was making a conscious effort to remove it for aesthetic reasons ( not being typecast as that "guy") but ill definitely welcome it in a sequel.

Turns out that success in China (http://www.cracked.com/quick-fixes/4-reasons-2015-could-be-movie-industrys-worst-year-ever/) doesn't really help the film's financial situation much (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/30/business/media/dispute-blocks-hollywoods-share-of-chinese-box-office.html?_r=1&), and that the film's likely still going to lose money (http://io9.com/5747305/how-much-money-does-a-movie-need-to-make-to-be-profitable) regardless.

They can break even.

They just have to do really, really well. Considering they spent, what, over 200 million on this all up including advertising? More? They could've made their money back.

They just had to gross a billion or so dollars.

Which they would've accounted for when they OK'd the budget. That is hasn't broken even should be held against it. It's not that great a movie and if the interest just isn't there from the audience to float it then the studio shouldn't bother with a sequel.

But the notion of budgeting things at $200mil with the hopes of netting over a billion dollars instead of budgeting things at $50mil and hoping to get $150mil is a relatively new thing.

That's a good point. People also aren't used to things trying to be genuinely creative much anymore. There are so many remakes and adaptations, so much spectacle and a sort of 'whatever' filmmaking mentality, it seems like something kind of original would stimulate a different part of the public. One they haven't felt sense...

Dredd had a low enough budget, minimal advertisement, and small enough theatrical opening that solid home sales could actually give the studio a sincere incentive to try again.

Like AvP:R :{` but I guess that was a marginal success at the box office, wasn't it?

Also, Pacific Rim had a great critical reception, and audience reception imo. It's rare for a film to emerge from that bucket relatively unscathed, internet reviews included. I know that has nothing to do with financial figures for a sequel, but I think it's worth mentioning. There are so many opinions out there for people to access, and so much nerd-analysis. It makes me smile that Prometheus has a review stigma permanently affixed to it, even though it was considered a success. :P :laugh:

Warner brothers pulled back on marketing 2 weeks before release only using 30% of the marketing budget, due to bad tracking  http://variety.com/2013/film/news/is-pacific-rim-doomed-to-be-this-years-battleship-1200502266/ (http://variety.com/2013/film/news/is-pacific-rim-doomed-to-be-this-years-battleship-1200502266/)

It ended up doing pretty decent numbers considering the naysaying on the film before its release, very positive fan response much like dredd.

It will get a sequel.

Agreed.  Even if overseas sales get split between the studio here and the theaters and stuff over there, it still will turn a profit.  Its all about making money.  If you don't lose money on something you generally repeat the process.  Even if it cost 240 million total to make and you only make 250 million total.  If you DON'T make the sequel even with the same results you don't get to collect on that future 10 million dollar profit.

It just can't lose money and it isn't going to.

Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: Kimarhi on Aug 07, 2013, 05:38:53 AM
The highest suspected cost I've seen for advertising and actual production of the movie is 240 million dollars.  Its made close to 300 million dollars worldwide and Rong has just posted a link that says only 70% of the fifty million used for advertising got spent.  So some math wizard can figure out what 70% of 50 million is and add it to the 190 million of the actual cost of production. 

From there they'd need to go by each country and see how much the overseas theaters distributing the movie are keeping vs sending back to the studios all the time keeping in mind that Japan hasn't opened its theaters to the movie yet.
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: Rong on Aug 07, 2013, 05:40:36 AM
it was actually 30% of marketing budget they still had 70% to spend 2 weeks before release, you could say conservatively that they only spent 50% of the budget.

Legendary pulled the pin with Warner Brothers due to it, they are no longer in partnership look that shit up.

The movie may have earned ~300 million, but the studio would barely have got half of that back. Opening week and domestic sales are the biggest money makers for studios, and Pacific Rim's opening week was pretty damn dismal. And while, yeah, the film wasn't as well advertised as it should've been, good word of mouth didn't seem to do it any favours. It didn't pick up, it didn't find its legs; it started limp and stayed there.

With production and marketing cost, the film needs to make half a billion dollars to be safely considered a financial success. And that's not happening.

Not really, it's got a critic rating of 71% (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/pacific_rim_2013/) (fresh), with an audience rating of 82%.

50% odd of the marketing budget is pretty substantial so the estimates you provide are all out.  its still not a runaway success no matter which way you slice it but i definitely wouldn't call it dismal its second week drop was much less percentage wise of say man of steel, and to a lesser extent Iron Man 3 so word of mouth did help it, the other variable is the film is new property and that didnt help it, the sequel won't have that disadvantage when it gets released.

Film budget was $180 million. Advertisement for movies like that are 50-100+ million (Man of Steel was over 100). Even assuming they had a $50 million budget and only spent $25 million, that still puts the total cost at $205 million.

Accounting for poor opening weekend and low cuts from overseas sales, $500 million is still a good estimate for how much the movie would need to make to earn money.

The current rule of thumb is complete gross including international needs to be double production budget to be considered a success, that rule includes full marketing expenses so even at that estimate of $380 mil, $120 million short of your estimate. as it currently stands we are at $293,970,096 with a few more markets to open in, and reduced marketing costs, and all the talk in the trades about a sequel it must be pretty close to breaking even.... and then we have the dvd / bluray / itunes sales  which i think would be around 60 - 80 mil worldwide.

I don't feel like Pacific Rim suffered from bad advertising. Every single film I saw in theatres (or at least close to that) in the past four months, I seem to remember having a trailer for Pacific Rim attached to it. People definitely knew about it. I think what hurt it was that people were quick to write it off as dumb.

For example, I was sitting amongst some friends a few weeks ago and I mentioned I recently watched PR for the first time. One of the guys asked me what it was about and before I could say anything, one of the girls there who hadn't seen it by the way, jumped in and quipped, "It's giant robots and aliens. It looks stupid." When people choose to be ignorant about a property, nothing is going to change their mind.

Everyone I know was turned off by the trailers. My dad said it looked terrible. My grandma, who enjoyed Man of Steel, thought it was just awful.
My dad saw the movie, and liked it a lot. His theory for why the trailers didn't work so well, among other reasons, is that the action scenes don't work very well in snippets. They require context for rythm and tone.

This explains the process:

Basically
1: It needs to do as best it can do in the opening weekend.
2: It needs to make as much money as it can domestically.
3: A film is usually considered profitable if it makes double its budget (with retailing included).
4: Overseas sales count but studios only take in 15 to 40 percent of the sales.
5: Studios earn a higher percentage on DVD sales than they do theater tickets, but sell less.

This explains the process:

Basically
1: It needs to do as best it can do in the opening weekend.
2: It needs to make as much money as it can domestically.
3: A film is usually considered profitable if it makes double its budget (with retailing included).
4: Overseas sales count but studios only take in 15 to 40 percent of the sales.
5: Studios earn a higher percentage on DVD sales than they do theater tickets, but sell less.
I posted that ages ago.

It really is a bad example as it wasn't the last Harry Potter It had 3 sequels following it. the one referenced in the article its this one

http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=harrypotter5.htm (http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=harrypotter5.htm)


the last two films in the series were shot back to back with a combined budget of 250mil their combined revenue was 1.6 billion.

You're actually promoting a an example of why Pacific Rim will get a sequel.

it technically lost money due to dodgy accounting the studio's payed themselves 60 mil in interest.

it was profitable. This shows it. The companies simply shift money within themselves to make them appear not.

Legendary have split with WB after the Pacific Rim Shit Storm.

Didn't Legendary only front 25% of the budget or something? Or was that WB? I need to find that link again with the "Could Pacific Rim Be This Year's Battleship" headline.

Once the movie hits DVD/Blu-Ray there's no doubt in my mind it'll wind up profitable. But it's had a damn limp cinema run all things considered and DVD sales typically don't float sequels to movies that cost almost 200 million (Unless the sequel gets a drastically reduced budget, I guess).

I read that article. WB fronted 25% of the budget, I believe.

If they reduce the budget, I wouldn't mind if there was less kaiju as long as the fights with them are a bit longer. Raiju kind of felt like a waste of CGI budget because he got such little screen time. Would have loved to see a fight with him on land.

They should cut all the rain and water out of the next one. That'll at least save them 20 million.

Also, I thought this movie would do quite well in Japan. The 30-40mil guesstimate by Rong and friends is quite saddening.  :'(

I've got a Japanese friend who said they seen it in a fairly packed cinema, they all laughed at the Japanese in the film, much like Australians laughed at the Aussie accents, to be honest I wouldn't be surprised if it did less then stellar results over there.

Why does everyone in the West seem to assume something will be a sure-fire hit in Japan if giant robots and monsters have been shoved into it?

It's been long enough for them to have caught wind of the word-of-mouth about it being a bit light on the substance front. If anything damaged its chances, that likely did.

Lol avatar only did 50 and that was one of the highest grossing western films to open there,  I doubt Japan will do that number, I was estimating 40 and that's probably a little too optimistic.

I could have swore Avatar did something like 186million in Japan.

Just checked, it did.

Unless it's just a joke. I love him.


Review time:

A generic basic premise serves as base for a monumental piece of entertainment with tons of heart and details put into it. It's a well-crafted piece of good ol' fun narrative-wise, all enveloped in a fantastic tribute to mech animes and the kaiju genre. Idris Elba steals every scene he's in, but I thought everyone did a good job in this. The OST is catchy as well. And the movie looks gorgeous. It's beautifully shot.

I just wish the chinese and russian jaegers lasted a bit longer (getting to know their pilots) and that Mako's "transformation" into a great pilot was a bit more developed.

Definitely the best blockbuster of this summer along with Star Trek: Into Darkness, which I thought was a bit more complete. My inner child loved this more though. Cult classic. Calling it now.

9/10

As much as I loved this, not having a sequel to Pacific Rim doesn't bother me all that much. Though if it makes the money and they can do a followup that doesn't undermine the first one I would definitely be all for it.

I just want to see del Toro get the money for Hellboy 3. The second one is practically on its knees begging for a sequel :'(

Exactly. Just because the genre's fan-base might be more active there than in most countries, doesn't mean it's the majority of the population - or even close. The US might even have more robot/monster fans, per head, than they do.

Like how, if you made a Shakespearean film, it's by no means a guarantee that it would generate much interest here in the UK.

It wasn't groundbreaking or memorable. In fact, all Pacific Rim could have ever hoped to strive for is to satisfy it's niche audience's CGI and creature design obsession. Again, like with Transformers, you can do that over and over again.

The possibility that a sequel won't be made will not be due to a "creative decision" to protect the integrity of the film, it will be because Pacific Rim failed to replicate the box office success of it's contemporaries.

Artistic flair?

The movie just looked pretty. That's hardly art. Even the positive reviews for the film don't deny the lack of substance Pacific Rim has. They just offer up rationalizations such as "I didn't watch it for the characters and it wasn't supposed to be smart, huehuehuehuehuehuehue".

Fine.

But because Pacific Rim is slightly better than the first (and best) Transformer movie doesn't mean it gets to separate itself from Michael Bay's franchise. Really, Pacific Rim just took the "GIANT ROBOTS AND KAIJU f**k YEAH" approach. Pacific Rim did not transcend Transformers enough to be considered art, and the only thing people will ever remember about Pacific Rim is the noise.

Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: Xenomorphine on Aug 11, 2013, 08:51:42 PM
They might not have been award-winning, but the first 'Transformers' had characters who audiences found amusing and entertaining when the robots weren't around. It was the sequel where everything got a hell of a lot more superficial and bloated, instead of refined.

In 'Pacific Rim', with the possible exception of Perlman's surprisingly short cameo, that factor was largely absent. So, it kind of became an aquatic 'Transformers 2' without the toilet humour and racist stereotyping.

Obviously, if you get a kick out of the two scientists, your view may differ. But if you found them annoying or too over-the-top, then...

As for littering a film with tribute after tribute to previous works, well, 'Requiem' did that, too. I don't regard the number of references to other things as a sign of whether something's art-worthy or not. If anything, a director deciding to do too much of that can equate to being more of a distraction than anything beneficial.

This is a perfect response to xenomorphine above.

Lol comparing this to avp:r not sure if serious, and then defending TF citing memorable characters, I basically only remember labeouf if only because he's annoying, and fox because dat ass.

While I totally get that the film is filled with clever references to the genre (even though I myself can't identify them) and that Del Toro is a fan/nerd yadda yadda, I also totally get what Aspie is saying. If the script is representative of the film I watched, it is a poor script from Del Toro's hand imo. There are so many logical fallacies that I just sorta accepted that they wanted to show us big monsters vs big robots and, well, screw the rest.

Del Toro just happens to be a much better director than Bay and it shows in the final film, when comparing the films. But his source material is no better than what Bay had to work with imo.

Post by: BR1XER on Aug 11, 2013, 09:26:51 PM
To me, TF had characters that were just too "silly", or to an extent, over-the-top in recklessness, pessimism, and whatnot. Bay could do away with much of the human interaction and not trash the series. In fact, it could possibly make it better. Of course, audiences need human characters they can relate to.

PR, on the other hand, may have had some characters that were somewhat flat. However, I very much appreciated the presence of Raleigh, Mako, Stacker, and Newt. They each had their moments and admirable traits, something that TF characters were seriously lacking in. The storyline may not be the best, but it is way beyond Transformers in terms of humanity, and that satisfies me.  :)

No, not at all, but the whole premise of the film seems deeply flawed, when you can think of 10 other ways the humans in the film could battle the kaiju with a much higher chance of success, than what the humans in the film are doing.

Why don't they just nuke the rift whenever activity is detected? The film shows us that nukes kills the kaiju easily and we know exactly where the rift is. Why do the humans build 1000s of km walls around their shores, when they could just contain the rift location instead with much less effort and materials? etc etc etc....

They couldn't just nuke the rift, because it wouldn't work like that. Only Kaiju can successfully go through the rift. Which is why Gipsy Danger basically had to use that Slattern as an ID card in order to get through.

Humans are building the walls because it is much cheaper than funding the Jaeger Program, it also serves as a sense of security to get the people in the mindset that everything is going to be alright. It also allows for the common man, those who participate to build the wall, to have a sense of purpose, for them to feel that they too are doing something to save the world of the Kaiju threat. Containing the rift being around it isn't going to do jack when the Kaiju continue to appear at an alarming rate. You saw just how more frequent they started appearing, that mixed with the fact that the program was not being funded anymore is only going to cause everything to go to shit real fast.

I'm not talking about nuking their homeworld by going through the rift. I'm talking about nuking the kaiju when they emerge from the rift into our world. Should be relatively easy even with todays technology.

As for the walls - what is most effective and cost-effective? Building walls around entire nations and continents that would make King Kong scratch his forehead, or build one massive wall around the rift, perhaps 10 times stronger/wider than the continents walls, because this wall would require much less materials and could be built much faster than a wall surrounding a continent?

Yeah, then we simply would have gotten Category 5+ Kaiju sooner. Slattern survived a Nuke, it's safe to assume Kaiju higher than him would be able to do so as well, with less damage taken the higher the categories get.  Then they make their way through the wall and cause just as much damage regardless.

Well I don't know why they didn't think of that sooner, possibly because all fallout them nukes have. The humans would have been properly screwed anyway even if they did, just look at how Leatherback suddenly had an EMP blast, the Terror from The Deep alien beings would have done something to combat any and all nuclear attacks on their Kaiju.

Also, the wall would not have been made in time, and even if it did, what's stopping from a bunch of Kaiju all piling up inside the walled up rift and breaking their way through it anyway? Nothing. Sooner or later you may even have a freaking suicide bomb Kaiju that would blow up the wall anyway from the inside.

The film clearly demonstrates that nukes kill the kaiju. The one that was detonated above the rift, killed the remaining ones, including the cat5 one, unless I remember it wrong.

So why don't they just nuke them as soon as they are detected, one by one?

The walls wouldn't be needed, if they just nuked the kaiju at the rift in the first place.

Nope. The category 5, Slattern, survived the Nuke from point blank range.

So a category 6+ would likely be able to take even more nuke damage before dying. The aliens would have gotten around the nuke problem regardless.

The war had been going for 20 years.... if slattern had died, the aliens would just send in another kaiju... tougher... humanity would bring that guy down with 3 to 4 nukes...

and inevitably, humanity would go past peak plutonium and uranium... and there would be very little material to use for nukes. :P ..and inevitably there would be none... :P And the kaiju would still be coming in... :P

So why don't they just nuke them as soon as they are detected, one by one?

The walls wouldn't be needed, if they just nuked the kaiju at the rift in the first place.

I just don't think the writers gave it any thought. Simple as that. No need to make up reasons why this or that - it's essentially the magic egg on the Sulaco all over again. :D

The movie said it took 3 or 6 (don't remember correctly) days to take down Trespasser with tanks and airplanes, until they finally decided to nuke it. At the expense of the people surrounding it. The kaiju always target cities, so they'd be constantly killing thousands of people.

And even if they had missiles locked onto the rift so they nuke it every time Kaiju appear, and ignore all the fallout, it would be unwise to waste those resources when there's an indefinite amount of Kaiju emerging. Also, the Kaiju Overlords (what I call them  :P) would have just skipped a few categories and send the big ones sooner. When things get dire, that's when the military would use the nukes. They were probably holding out until they get a better grasp of the situation, and to see if the Kaiju would get bigger and stronger.

Also, Jaegers would cause much less damage to the surrounding cities. And Jaegers can be re-used. In the long run, it's cheaper.

I know that the movie is an excuse for ROBOTS VS MONSTERS YEAHH, but there's plenty of reasons to accept the Jaeger program.

Lol comparing this to avp:r not sure if serious

I was pointing out that tributes do not a masterpiece make. Just a movie with lots of nods to other films. 'Requiem' is the most glaring example of how this can harm a film more than help it, because you're reminded of things which have handled the same material better.

Quoteand then defending TF citing memorable characters

Here's what I wrote:

Quote from: Xenomorphine on Aug 11, 2013, 08:51:42 PM
They might not have been award-winning, but the first 'Transformers' had characters who audiences found amusing and entertaining when the robots weren't around. It was the sequel where everything got a hell of a lot more superficial and bloated, instead of refined.

If all you remember are the two leads, then you're not judging my comparison fairly. Rewatch it.

You can't blast the first 'Transformers' film and then praise 'Pacific Rim' for doing more or less exactly the same stuff. If you don't like 'Transformers' because you feel it's vapid, then you should feel the same way about 'Pacific Rim', too.

You like its effects? Cool. The other film had pretty CGI, too. I rated Idris Elba's turn as about on the same level as Jon Voigt's. I did, however, find the older film's music more memorable and emotionally engaging. No masterpiece, but neither was 'Jurassic Park' - just fun entertainment.

And if you liked both? Good for you. Giving constructive criticism doesn't mean you're a 'hater'. Just means PR didn't do much for me, that's all.

Quote from: Eva on Aug 11, 2013, 09:38:04 PM
Why don't they just nuke the rift whenever activity is detected? The film shows us that nukes kills the kaiju easily and we know exactly where the rift is. Why do the humans build 1000s of km walls around their shores, when they could just contain the rift location instead with much less effort and materials? etc etc etc....

That's the biggest problem I had with the supposed reason for making the robots in the first place.

If an organic creature can somehow survive an atomic explosion which should, by rights, shred everything at a molecular level, then keep firing nuclear torpedoes until it's too damaged to carry on.

Where the hell had all the submarines and ships gone which could've patrolled this anomaly? Not explained. Not bothered to explain, because the director just wanted to show robots versus monsters. Explosives supposedly don't work, only for us to see one of the giant robots almost completely destroy one of the things with... Conventional missiles. Which totally contradicts the whole point behind making robots.

Which is fine and all, but pretending it was anything more than an excuse for humanoid fisticuffs doesn't wash with me.

And, yes, it could have been explained easily. Just have characters reference how there's more than one portal - or that it opens up in random places. Then you can go full-'Krull' and have the mind-meld be how the humans can predict where it's next going to open, giving them a fighting chance.

Thing is, if they had the military still being at least partially effective, it would've been infinitely cooler to see these robot things stride into battle along with air support, artillery and more. I thought the climax was going to have Gipsy on the brink of being destroyed, only for the creature to suddenly get slammed with torpedoes from submarines, but it didn't happen.

Quote from: ShadowPred on Aug 11, 2013, 10:08:43 PM
Also, the wall would not have been made in time, and even if it did, what's stopping from a bunch of Kaiju all piling up inside the walled up rift and breaking their way through it anyway? Nothing. Sooner or later you may even have a freaking suicide bomb Kaiju that would blow up the wall anyway from the inside.

That's called a 'target-rich environment'. ;)

Or one you can just pour in every kind of lethal biological/chemical agent known to man, specifically because it's sealed off.

Quote from: Omegazilla on Aug 11, 2013, 10:23:25 PM

The portal was situated a looooong way from shore...

Which is why you keep the portal monitored - like they were already doing. You take them out before they reach population centres.

You also evacuate most of the coastal population centres, if this has been going on for years... :)

QuoteAnd even if they had missiles locked onto the rift so they nuke it every time Kaiju appear, and ignore all the fallout, it would be unwise to waste those resources when there's an indefinite amount of Kaiju emerging.

We have an awful lot of nuclear weapons sitting around... We would have used a fraction of them by the time of the film's events and it would have cost very little. Certainly a lot less than the robot project required - the resources of which could have been poured into things like sonar and microwave weapons, which would both be very effective against underwater life.

I don't think there would be that many conventional weapons that would do that much damage.  It would have to be some sort of armored bunker buster or sabot round in my mind to do damage. 

We know they are pretty thick skinned because they come out of the portal in hundreds of feet deep of water and all that pressure.  I always assumed it was the Mariana trench which would mean they also have either a really great internal pressure relief body design or they are just tough bastards and take it.

They also survive jets crashing on their body without it registering to the creature and Jaeger "2500 tons of awesome," punches to the face.  That's like taking a crashing 747 to the grill every swing.

That doesn't change the fact that a movie's quality doesn't hinge on tributes. If anything, too many can restrict it.

One could even argue that homeage-fixation could have hurt 'Pacific Rim' in the robotic/creature design, due to wanting to stick so closely to the old movies, rather than being more iconic and exotic.

QuoteThere's a difference between homage and rip off.

Indeed. And films like 'The Matrix' are meant to be rife with it - but I enjoy 'The Matrix' for what it is, not because it included parts where it copied from elsewhere. Same goes for 'Alien'.

QuoteNo i'm judging it fairly perhaps too fairly, i wont be rewatching a glorified car commercial, where the robots have more character than majority of the actual cast.

You realise someone could replace 'car' with 'toy' and aim that exact accusation at 'Pacific Rim', right? ;)

Which, in itself, doesn't really make any sense. :) But as I say, if it survived one, then keep on firing. Or use penetrators laced with toxins. Or use acoustic or microwave weapons. Or... Ad infinitum!

If there's one thing our species has proven excellent at, it's coming up with ingenious methods of killing things made out of flesh and bone. The one reason why it strikes a lot of scientists as laughable when sci-fi movies have the enemy show up in 'biomechanical' spaceships, which would technically be a lot easier to destroy than ones with thick metal armour.

But I do agree with Xenomorphine there was no conventional weapons as support for Jaegers.

It's actually a lot safer to go swimming around in something like a spent nuclear fuel pool than most people imagine. As it turns out, water is really good for shielding against radiation.

You have to understand how radiation works. It's emitting like radio waves. If it irradiates water, it's because the water is containing particles of something else. The water, itself? Totally safe.

So, if you have, say, a broken fuel rod under the water, it's not the radiation field you have to worry about. It's the radioactive waste particles inside of the fuel rod which are leaking out into the water - that's what's irradiated. Not the surrounding water.

As they've already nuked the portal, it means all the sand particles on the bed (local to that specific area) are already irradiated. Nuking it again won't make any difference. So, to all intents and purposes, patrolling he area with nuclear torpedo-armed submarines, able to fire them off from a safe distance, could do their thing as much as they like. The water's going to act as a shield, not spread the radiation around like oil.

So, in a weird way, the aliens' choice of location for their exit portal made it easier to get constantly nuked, not harder... :laugh:

We know they are pretty thick skinned because they come out of the portal in hundreds of feet deep of water and all that pressure.  I always assumed it was the Mariana trench which would mean they also have either a really great internal pressure relief body design or they are just tough bastards and take it.

A lot of deep ocean species are very thin-skinned. What would crush a submarine hull doesn't necessarily apply to, say, a tiny squid, because the submarine's full of air.

I don't mean to jack here, but Jurassic Park was a definite masterpiece. It revolutionized movies as it proved CG was something worth exploring and the direction was spot-on.

The set scenes were very good, but I never for a moment thought it would win any awards for the acting. :) A masterpiece needs to be perfection in just about every respect.

'Jaws', on the other hand, by the same director, could be said to be better in some aspects JP didn't quite do as well (even though most people would regard JP as more of an obvious visual spectacle).

If were gonna draw real physics into this, no living organisms survive a point blank range nuke detonation. The shock wave alone from an underwater detonation of that magnitude, will instantly collapse all your internal organs, vaporize your blood, melt your physical body and compress your brain into a pea. The film clearly demonstrates that these creatures have blood, brains etc. just like we do. Kaiju or human... makes no difference.... instant death from nuke.

As for the discussion about homages/rip offs, just look at The Thing prequel or Superman Returns if you want a demonstration of how homaging pre-existing films, can completely sink a new film.

I don't think it's an either/or case. It's just that it needs to be viewed through the 'Independence Day' prism - the moment you try to go along with why it says 'drifting' or making giant robots is necessary, you need to admit it's just BS to get to the adrenaline fuel. Defending its own internal logic against realism is a creaky proposition, at best.

None of which takes away from the special effects looking good or if you, personally, happened to think Character X had an awesome moment during Scene Y. If that's what you got out of it? Fantastic! That's what going to the cinema should do - entertain us! I like parts of 'Pearl Harbor', 'Van Helsing' and the extended cut of the 'Total Recall' remake, but there's no way I'm going to defend them as amazingly realistic or prime examples of artistic cinema. Just fun ways to pass the time.

About the only bit of "reality" I let impede my enjoyment of the film is "If these monsters are attacking coastal cities, why the f**k are people still living in coastal cities decades later?"

Seriously, that ... even by the film's standards, that's moronic.

"But the monsters will just follow them if they go inland!"

Yes. Follow them inland, where they'd be out in the open, without buildings and an abundance of ocean to hide in and ambush you from. City and water battles are spectacle funtimes, but damn, if you're going to make a movie about giant robots and monsters fighting at least give me a little bit of a reality reach-around to get me through.

That doesn't change the fact that a movie's quality doesn't hinge on tributes. If anything, too many can restrict it.


The fact that many people (general audience possibly yourself included) can't really pinpoint the homages proves it wasn't restricted by them, again we can draw comparisons to Transformers which most fans of the original series (myself included) found somewhat offensive, as it didn't really show the correct respect to the source material or the genre in which it could draw its origins this was only amplified in the sequels, combine that with a paper thin script (a movie about a boy and his first car), actors who weren't really into it ( Hugo Weaving lol) and the extra offensive product placement.

Quote from: Xenomorphine on Aug 12, 2013, 06:59:40 PM
One could even argue that homeage-fixation could have hurt 'Pacific Rim' in the robotic/creature design, due to wanting to stick so closely to the old movies, rather than being more iconic and exotic.

Fan reaction, as noted by the many tumblr / deviant fan art and generally across the internet is extremely positive.

Quote from: Xenomorphine on Aug 12, 2013, 06:59:40 PM

QuoteThere's a difference between homage and rip off.

Indeed. And films like 'The Matrix' are meant to be rife with it - but I enjoy 'The Matrix' for what it is, not because it included parts where it copied from elsewhere. Same goes for 'Alien'.

Matrix is a great comparison to pac-rim, as unlike PR the first films iconic scene are basically homages to ghost in the shell to the point of ripoff,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwlxlpJidJs# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwlxlpJidJs#)

stylistically if you removed it's homages they're wouldn't be much of a film left, interesting enough the sequels moved further away into their own territory and progressively got worse.

Although i still enjoyed the Matrix I could Use the same level of suspension of disbelief people are applying to Pacific Rim that Matrix is a terrible film because using humans as batteries have to be the worst way to collect electricity. ::)

The only disappointment I have stems from the fact that del Toro probably could have done much better, given the talent he has demonstrated previously. But I guess even good directors are entitled to produce a "nothing special" kind of movie from time to time. Shame Pacific Rim had to be del Toro's.

The fact that many people (general audience possibly yourself included) can't really pinpoint the homages proves it wasn't restricted by them,

Incorrect. I pointed out the most obvious one - the restriction of creature and robot designs. Painfully obvious in the case of Leatherback and Knifehead, which I felt were woefully uninspired, compared to what they could have been, IMO. Deliberately done in that fashion because of wanting to be tributes to movies of before (which, in turn, were largely restricted by the low budgets and primitive technology of the time).

You liked them? Fine. But to me, it seemed like they were holding the movie back, considering it revolved almost entirely around the spectacle provided by the special effects.

Quoteagain we can draw comparisons to Transformers which most fans of the original series (myself included) found somewhat offensive, as it didn't really show the correct respect to the source material or the genre in which it could draw its origins this was only amplified in the sequels, combine that with a paper thin script (a movie about a boy and his first car), actors who weren't really into it ( Hugo Weaving lol) and the extra offensive product placement.

If you found it "offensive", then with respect, you were probably watching it wrong. :)

As someone who read the old comics and cartoons back in the eighties, I know those old plots weren't much better ('The Girl Who Loved Powerglide' is practically comedy gold). As a movie, I regarded it as its own thing and what mattered was whether I found it a fun experience - which I did. It entertained me. PR, however, didn't - and you can't exactly argue that PR's own story was heavy on substance, because it wasn't.

QuoteFan reaction, as noted by the many tumblr / deviant fan art and generally across the internet is extremely positive.

There was a ton of fan reaction back when 'Van Helsing' was released, too. I don't think that's exactly a meaningful gauge of credibility. :)

QuoteMatrix is a great comparison to pac-rim, as unlike PR the first films iconic scene are basically homages to ghost in the shell to the point of ripoff,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwlxlpJidJs# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwlxlpJidJs#)

stylistically if you removed it's homages they're wouldn't be much of a film left, interesting enough the sequels moved further away into their own territory and progressively got worse.

Doesn't matter. 'The Matrix' has infinitely more substance to it - and makes a very well-crafted story. You can't equate that to a movie which is just one big excuse to have giant robots beating up monsters. Entire books have been written on the underlying philosophical debates raised in 'The Matrix' (and even Ron Perlman's character lacked the charisma which made Agent Smith or Morpheus so engaging on screen).

QuoteAlthough i still enjoyed the Matrix I could Use the same level of suspension of disbelief people are applying to Pacific Rim that Matrix is a terrible film because using humans as batteries have to be the worst way to collect electricity. ::)

There's enough ambiguity in that, because we don't know the process by which it's happening. For all we know, they could somehow be gaining a lot more energy than we can imagine with our technology - or merely using us to supplement things like fusion reactors, simply because we're an available resource. It's not a big part of the story. It's background. We're told, "This is happening" and it's left at that. That's not what makes up the majority of what the story's about. We don't know how the Death Star is managing to generate enough energy to destroy a planet, either, but in the grand scheme of 'Star Wars', it doesn't matter - it's just there and the technical reasons behind it wouldn't make any difference to the story.

Here, we're told the entire premise of what PR relies upon is because... Well, there is no reason, because we're shown a robot using conventional missiles to almost kill one of the things it's going after. A larger barrage could have been dropped by a single B-52.

If you don't care about that, then it's cool. Just like if you don't care about the 'drifting' not having a legitimate purpose, then it's cool. Just like if you don't care the lead characters aren't in any way appealing for most people, it's cool. Or if you don't care when the director's trying to make you feel empathy for a character who's severely f**ked up, it's cool.

Most films have plot-holes. All me, Eva and others are saying that some of PR's are a little too obvious for us to ignore. If you can ignore them, then good for you. It just seems weird that you're saying 'Transformers' was literally offensive, but you're apparently embracing PR to the hilt and saying its own flaws don't matter.

You realise someone could replace 'car' with 'toy' and aim that exact accusation at 'Pacific Rim', right? ;)

Wrong.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LFQIoc49ZM#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LFQIoc49ZM#ws)

nobody does it better than Bay.

That doesn't disprove that you could replace 'toy' with 'car' in what you accused it of, with PR. It's the same logic.

Again, if that's you're thing, great. But you're saying it's insulting when one movie does it, but not when PR does.

QuoteTime will be the testament, Del Toro respects the audience the best he could, Bay shows nothing but contempt for them, it will all come out in the wash.

I hope you realise how elitist you're coming across with this. :)

Quote from: Gilfryd on Aug 12, 2013, 11:42:23 PM
Even del Toro is aware you can nitpick the hell out of something like this. He calls it bullshitanium. Without that you would never be able to tell a story like this. It's not about WHY we create giant freaking robots, it's how we come together to get shit done. It's like questioning the logic in a Looney Tunes short. Just watch and go with it. You don't have to like it, but the movie does have its own internal logic.

Exactly. It's a new rollercoaster ride. If you dig it, great. But like Aspie, I was astonished to see the director of 'Blade 2' and the two 'Hellboy' ventures come up with something which was so surprisingly like a Stephen Sommers project. Combine 'GI Joe' with 'Van Helsing', remove most of the jokes and I feel you pretty much get 'Pacific Rim'. Making out it's somehow massively different to 'Transformers'... I don't understand that logic.

But that doesn't mean it's not valid entertainment for those who do like it.

About the only bit of "reality" I let impede my enjoyment of the film is "If these monsters are attacking coastal cities, why the f**k are people still living in coastal cities decades later?"

Seriously, that ... even by the film's standards, that's moronic.

"But the monsters will just follow them if they go inland!"

Yes. Follow them inland, where they'd be out in the open, without buildings and an abundance of ocean to hide in and ambush you from. City and water battles are spectacle funtimes, but damn, if you're going to make a movie about giant robots and monsters fighting at least give me a little bit of a reality reach-around to get me through.

If I may bring that argument into the foray of reality, people living in Indonesia during the tsunami many years ago likely would've heard the same thing being told to them. It doesn't mean they'll listen.

I would have to get all the buttons.  Definitely a set of cuffs.  But I don't think I would look good in any of the hats sadly.  I might get all the dog tags just because I love dog tags to much.  As for the bags I am not found of the string bags but I really like the Crimson Typhoon bag and I would have to get the Gipsy Danger backpack.

I agree with Aspie. PR is not redeemable. It had one or two good moments, but everything after them could only be qualified as "mediocre", and everything before them was seriously abyssmal.

It doesn't deserve a sequel, and after listening the "brilliant" ideas (a new robot, and a stupid robot-monster hybrid) it's clear it wouldn't redeem it anyway.

If Americans didn't see it the first time around, why would a movie studio expect them to see the sequel?

And I would like to see a sequel. It doesn't necessarily deserve it, or really even call for one. I just think the property has a lot of promise, if done correctly.

You know what it probably still gon get a sequel, might take a bit longer. wait till it does its complete run at the Box office, only needs to get 380 i get the feeling it might be 20 mill short.

It should hit 360 million, thanks to China.


With that and social media buzz, a sequel just might get greenlit. Probably gonna take a few years though.


And the budget will probably be smaller, as well.

If Americans didn't see it the first time around, why would a movie studio expect them to see the sequel?
Ah. I misread the post.

Many can still see it in video, though. :) I didn't see the first Transformers in a cinema, and yet I saw both sequels there. Go figure.

This. Since Pacific Rim looks like it's gonna come up short at the box office, it's going to need a massive home video surge.

I don't know, bro, China is holding out strong.

Also, according to a report posted by SiL a week ago or so, Man of Steel came up 400million short of making a profit. Now, I'm not sure how accurate that report is, as that seems pretty drastic. But, if that report IS true, and they are making Batman vs Superman, than maybe we all don't quite understand what's going on in the movie industry.

You gotta remember that studios only get roughly 50 percent of the total boxoffice. And in some markets(China) it's only about 25%...which is again daming for Pacific Rim... you know, if you liked the darn thing.  :P

660 million x .5= 330 Million

Places like China only give about 25%, so that would add up. And, I'm sure it's like that in other places. There's a lot of math and info to look up to get to the correct Box Office number, all of which I'm tots not in to doing. Lol. As I mentioned, I'm not sure if it's 100 percent accurate, but I think it would be good for PR if it was.

Monster films haven't done well in Japan for a while, so while it's disheartening it's not unexpected.

Hey, no one forbids Cherno Alpha to be rebuilt for the sequel -- it received some serious damage, but the tower part, legs and left arm should be mostly intact. If they don't rebuild it, they can use its parts for another Jaeger.

Same for Crimson Typhoon. The head is literally gone, but the rest of it could be re-used rather easily (as easily as you can recycle giant robot parts).

QuoteTOKYO — In what was supposed to be one of its friendliest foreign markets, Japan, "Pacific Rim" ended its opening weekend, August 10-11, with a so-so sixth rank on the box office chart.

The Guillermo del Toro robots-versus-monsters epic, inspired by Japanese kaiju (monster) pics, scored $3.04 million from 134,506 admissions.

Meanwhile the other big Hollywood opener, "World War Z," earned $3.38 million for the number two slot, selling 236,910 tickets.

He's being ironic. Or sarcastic.

I think that's the right phrase. I don't know. Someone posted that same pic yesterday, which was technically a repost, but the original post was either a long time ago, and the poster didn't see it, or had gotten lost in the debate we all got into earlier this week.

Pacific Rim got pulled from my local theater a little over a week after release. It did awful over here.
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: BR1XER on Aug 17, 2013, 02:13:31 PM
At my place, it's still playing, but the IMAX version is gone, and there are only two showings a day.  :-\

Strange thing is, I never knew about the film struggling until I came here. There was a full house when I saw it, and that was a week after release. I guess ignorance is bliss.
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films

It's been pulled from IMAX theatres here too but only because Elysium is out. The film is still playing regularly though.

I don't think the film is playing at all anymore over here, but a week after released all 2D showings got pulled and you could only see it in IMAX 3D. I think it got pulled altogether shortly after that

We had it for a legit four weeks.  I'm just wondering if a positive word of mouth could help turn it around for this weekend.

I think part of the problem is that people don't give new franchises a chance and for whatever reason, trailers perhaps aren't grabbing people's attention as well as they used to. Someone here mentioned that his dad had seen the trailer for Pacific Rim, said it was awful, but was blown away by the film. It seems like word of mouth is the only thing that works anymore.

I think trailers ought to be shortened from two and a half or three minutes. They outstay their welcome and divulge too much of the story.

I liked the Predalien. But it was not even the AvP:R selling point. On the other hand, what has Guillermo del Toro to offer on PR2?

Literally the first thing he said about the sequel was "ur... there's going to be a hybrid new monster... and you'll see a new version of this robot". Honesty, it feels like he's trying to do a line of action figures and nothing more.
And then what? Well, I guess the story will be just the same again, robots vs giant monsters, with a new creature thrown there for the interest.

Not that it's bad to base your franchise on your "action figures", but I'm not a fan of it, and I dislike Del Toro dedicating too much time and effort to this when he could be working on infinitely better projects.

The idea of a Jaeger-kaiju hybird just remind me the predalien. Another novelty gimmick to cover up the lack of actual ideas for the script.
Predalien makes as much sense as dogalien or human alien. His abilities in AvP_r are different thing.
I liked the Predalien. But it was not even the AvP:R selling point. On the other hand, what has Guillermo del Toro to offer on PR2?

Literally the first thing he said about the sequel was "ur... there's going to be a hybrid new monster... and you'll see a new version of this robot". Honesty, it feels like he's trying to do a line of action figures and nothing more.
And then what? Well, I guess the story will be just the same again, robots vs giant monsters, with a new creature thrown there for the interest.

Not that it's bad to base your franchise on your "action figures", but I'm not a fan of it, and I dislike Del Toro dedicating too much time and effort to this when he could be working on infinitely better projects.

China's box office is of little concern to me, and probably to movie studio considering their box office disputes with China. And remember, PR failed to reach the 100 million mark in the U.S., as opposed to Grown Ups 2, which has grossed 130 million.



Plus The Avengers is on a whole different level of awesomeness and film-making than Pacific Rim.

Alright, so it would take a ThisBethesdaSea level of denial to say that Pac Rim was superior to Avengers. I shall concede this. :laugh:

But think, Aspie. We've been so oversaturated by superheroes, we've seen so many varieties, for decades now... so many incarnations it's hard to fathom, but we don't get genuine offerings like Pacific Rim hardly ever, much less that are done with a degree of passion and confidence that even gets them over the line of b-grade trash.

The idea is old as hell, but Del Toro and Co. made it creative in a way. Definitely injected some life into the genre, if anything. That alone is worth so much.

I love The Avengers, but that movie has a pretty weak story. It's just the badass ensemble and awesome battles that blew everybody away.

PR didn't have an all star cast, but it was almost the same thing. Awesome action and visuals. Aliens coming over from another dimension and we need a special defense against them. Hero makes it through the portal just in time after detonating a bomb. Avengers had better humor all around, though.

Not saying PR is better than The Avengers, but it's not so far from Avengers to me.

Avengers had an entire list of movies to build up each character, so they could let their personalities really shine without a bunch of backstory or what have you.

That in itself is also a feat rarely (if ever?) matched in movies, but I think it gave Avengers a clear storytelling advantage for what they were trying to do.

That was the idea.

But he only injected the visual limb of Pacific Rim, and left other major components of it neglected and/or quivering in the shadow of PR's CGI spectacle.

If anything, del Toro showcased what the genre should look like, as opposed to setting the bar from which a contemporary genre film should aspire to. Pacific Rim was not a well rounded film.

I would say that yeah it's a more complete action film, but those other points chalk it up to the "ensemble" pull of the movie. Yes, they all had their own stories and characterization on the build up to the Avengers, so the movie is easily forgiven for not having a solid story. It's fun as hell and seeing all those heroes AND actors together on screen was just magnificent. IS magnificent.


I'm just saying that aside from the awesome performances and the "Team Up" feel, it's pretty similar.

Also, it's not like the fight scenes were completely different from a Transformers film. Maybe choreographed a little better, but pretty much the same thing.

Maybe not the big screen (outside of assorted Michael Bay and Stephen Sommers projects), but countless times on straight-to-DVD movies, television shows - especially cartoons - and a hell of a lot in (increasingly cinematic) computer games.

Robots-versus-monsters isn't so much of a novelty, these days.

Big budget robots vs monsters doesn't happen very often, if at all, in US cinemas. In that way, yes, it is fresh.

Maybe not the big screen (outside of assorted Michael Bay and Stephen Sommers projects), but countless times on straight-to-DVD movies, television shows - especially cartoons - and a hell of a lot in (increasingly cinematic) computer games.

Robots-versus-monsters isn't so much of a novelty, these days.

I meant from a big budget Hollywood movie perspective. It just doesn't happen often. Transformers has robots fighting each other, but it's not quite the same thing.

I come from a bias perspective though, I admit. I've never seen giant monsters fighting in such a large scale before, so in that way it was fresh to me.

That "drifting" concept has such great dramatic potential, but del Toro decided to squander it in favor of Transformers-esque chaos.

Post by: Alienseseses on Aug 21, 2013, 12:31:08 AM
I thought the drifting grounded the chaos. Gave it legs.
And it can (and should) be exploited more in a sequel, now that it's established as an existing technology.

They can use it for group therapy.

They were tossing around the idea of that one guy from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia turning evil from it.

Maybe excessive drifting can cause hallucinations and schizophrenia under certain circumstances.

All the changes to the script strengthened the film thematically, as much as the film is about giant monsters and robots its about relationship dynamics between people, Herc and Chuck's father and son dynamic was added as was Mako and Stackers they both strengthened the theme of the film.

That father and son relationship was the most flimsiest and forced character dynamic of the film. And if that strengthened the film thematically relative to the original, then that first script must have been a doozy.

Even when his son was going off to certain death and they both had their screen moment, I was like "...lol no buildup, no feels."

Yeah, definitely something like that. Not being able whats real and what's not. I mean, they could really get into the psychological aspect of drifting. That would open up a wide variety of sub-plots.

Would've been nice if 'drifting' served an actual point in the movie we've already seen, too. :)

Also, if it would have been explained how the creatures knew scientist dude's location when he was no longer linked in.

Would've been nice if 'drifting' served an actual point in the movie we've already seen, too. :)

Spoiler
Also, if it would have been explained how the creatures knew scientist dude's location when he was no longer linked in.

Implied telepathy? Maybe it's one way the kaiju are in touch with their leaders beneath the rift.

The proverbial plug had been pulled. System disconnect. They make a big deal out of how he can stay connected for only so long.

Fun situation, because it gave that plague victim/walking bomb pariah feel to what went on, but a plot-hole, nonetheless.

Yeah I know but what I mean is, after the plug was pulled, by then a mental link would've been made with a kaiju overlord or the like. Once that happens, there's nowhere to run or hide.

None of which changes the fact that how he was getting tracked after disconnection was a plot-hole, given what we saw. ;)

If they say otherwise in the commentary, fair enough, but going by what's on screen, like various other things we've covered here (no air support, no submarines patrolling the portal, 'drifting' accomplishing nothing the cockpits weren't already doing, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera), it just seems like they thought it'd look cool without properly figuring out how/why it would happen.

And it looks like Pacific Rim will just barely cross the 99 million mark in the U.S. when it is all said and done. Looks like it's going to be one million short of 9 digits.

It's making 100 thousand per day, and just past the 98.5 million mark. By the end of the weekend, it should barely cross the 99 million mark. But next week is when it drops to about 50 thousand per day, maybe. You're looking at about a 99.2-99.8 million dollar gross domestically overall. The number of theaters are dwindling fast.

It's actually at 98.6, what's up. Cowboys and Aliens was only at, like, 96 million through as many days, and ended up making over 100million. There is hope, Aspie, whether you want there to be or not.

The movie itself was terrible, and Pacific Rim was clearly better.

But by week 5 and week 6 (Where Pacific Rim is) of Cowboys vs Aliens, it was still earning in the millions. Pacific Rim is operating in the low hundred-of-thousands right now.


Box office momentum.

Whoops, wrong chart I was looking at. Cowboys and Aliens actually took a long time dying, judging from the weekly box office drop-off percentages. Weekly, Cowboys vs Aliens was way stronger for some reason (probably star power).


Plus, Pacific Rim's theater count is now 444, which is down from 980 the previous week.

So in case anyone is wondering why the sword wasn't used all the time, a user on YouTube offered the following:

Quotehe Jaegers were built to kill the Kaiju's with blunt force a trauma. The swords and plasma caster were used as a last resort because, one, Kaiju blood is toxic and can wipe out entire cities and two, even though the weapons like the chain sword and plasma caster cauterize the wounds, it still gets Kaiju blood spread all over the city. It was meant as a last resort because if they can kill the Kaiju with blunt force, its a lot better

So in case anyone is wondering why the sword wasn't used all the time, a user on YouTube offered the following:

Quotehe Jaegers were built to kill the Kaiju's with blunt force a trauma. The swords and plasma caster were used as a last resort because, one, Kaiju blood is toxic and can wipe out entire cities and two, even though the weapons like the chain sword and plasma caster cauterize the wounds, it still gets Kaiju blood spread all over the city. It was meant as a last resort because if they can kill the Kaiju with blunt force, its a lot better

Oh, f**king duh. I think we mentioned that earlier, but no one really made the connection that the beat downs were on purpose! Lol. Thanks Doom.

See? The greatest filmmakers will make believable concessions that allow us to see giant robots boxing the f**k out of monster faces.

...then why not just have the robots slice them up at the rift? It's more efficient than boxing, and blood doesn't reach the cities.

Makes sense, but most likely operational capabilities, fuel(?), range, etc... that and the inability to detect Kaiju attacks in advance.

That's how I feel about every HISHE video. Collections of petty nitpicks, every one of them.

The exception being their Terminator/BTTF mashup trailer. That was f**king awesome.

Post by: DoomRulz on Aug 23, 2013, 06:27:44 PM
The nitpicks are what make them funny though. They highlight points in the film that could've prevented a tremendous disaster if a little bit of common sense had been applied. Like in the JP one; Tim was jumping around doing f**k all when really, he could've handed Grant the shotgun and actually helped out.

They work for me in the HISHE videos, as long as there isn't a way to explain why things worked out that way for the sake of the film like in the Pacific Rim one.

I thought the HISHE video was decent, but it is not my favorite of theirs.. That would also go to the T/BTTF mash-up with the Harry Potter one close behind.
Now nit picking in this sense is not meant to be petty or mean. I think this is a pretty good movie, but it does have undeniable flaws from a narrative standpoint. If a story has problems, you look at them and acknowledge them so you don't make the same mistakes in the future. This is much different than picking something apart simply because you don't like it.

HISHE's have not been very good recently. My last favorite was the Prometheus one, specially because it was an actual HISHE.

They don't like the characters and the dialogue.

While Pacific Rim does have more likeable characters (even if they aren't as structured as the ones in Transformers) and much better dialogue, everything else was pretty much on par with the first Transformers film.

And like Transformers, the only real reason to go see it is for the CGI show:

It isn`t similar film to Godzilla (although they are from thesame genere) nor similar to Robot Jox. It`s an animal of it`s own, quite fresh if you ask me. Not perfect, but not bad be any means.

The robot's arm reminds me a bit of the robots from Hellboy 2. Cool stuff.

QuoteLet's talk about two South Korean girls named Pang So-Yi and An Yuna. They're competitive fencers and Olympic hopefuls. Very young, but very very good. Both of them. And very bitter rivals. (They're from different sides of the mountain. It's just one of those things.)

Anyway, it comes down to the two of them in a qualifying match for the Olympic team with one slot left. And So-yi has a few points on Yuna - when the sirens go off...

A kaiju is coming. A fast one. As the arena clears in a panic, So-yi slips and smacks her head on the floor, blacking out.

Outside, at some point in all the confusion, Yuna realizes So-yi is still in the arena. The waterfront arena. Her stunned friends try to hold her back, but she breaks away from them and runs against the tide of evacuees funneling to the shelters.

The first kaiju Yuna has ever seen in her life is rising up from the water ahead like a mountain, and she's running towards it, if you can believe that, running towards it and the almost empty arena in its path — to save a girl who twenty minutes ago she would've sworn to you she hated. Sometimes the best part of you just kinda wakes up like that.

It will be a long, hard night. But they'll live.

And now you have met the pilots of Nova Hyperion. Two of the fifty-plus rangers in the Pacific Rim universe.

Descriptions: They're in their late teens by the time they're assigned a Jaeger. So-yi has a round face and short, straight, very closely cropped hair. Of the two, she's more inclined to be grinning. Yuna is a bit more serious, a bit lighter-skinned, and shaved bald (because, well, she has the skull for it).

Thus showing that misleadingly --or poorly-- constructed posters/covers are nothing new.

Still doesn't refute the fact that the Pacific Rim cover is awfully executed Photoshop work, when they had much better material that would have sufficed on its own. Not only doesn't it reflect the film's quality (as the Star Wars one does so well, showcasing the pulp sci-fi serial aspect wonderfully), but it's nonsensical on a technical level as well, no matter how you cut it. The King Kong poster at least has a sense of intentionally over-sizing both Kong and Ann. The Pacific Rim cover is just a collection of sloppily thrown together assets.

The problem I have with shitty covers and posters is that they're meant to represent the film, so when a good film gets an awful cover, it represents the film... poorly.

Having already seen it? No, but from the perspective of somebody that hadn't, and was unaware of the talent behind the film itself (as the overwhelming majority of movie-goers/buyers are)... probably, yeah. Though understandably, many people unaware of those things will check it out via digital release instead. As for other movies, I never buy/watch on a whim unless it's by recommendation, or I've at least checked out other materials from it (trailers, reviews, forums, etc).

My ridiculous pickiness will still cause me to seek out a version that has a nicer cover when it's eventually released, as I've done before. As I mentioned in my post, I'm aware that it's kind of strange to get worked up over something so miniscule (when compared to what the disk actually contains), but I guess I'm just tired of seeing covers that all look the same and don't do right by the films they're meant to represent.
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: SM on Sep 02, 2013, 06:18:03 AM
Unless it's some Hindi or Tamil flick, I never buy DVDs or Blu Rays without having seen the film in theatres or on telly first.  (Except for Miyazaki flicks.)  So covers are a complete non-issue.

That aside - is there any chance this is just the French cover and not the US cover?
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films

It's possible, but I'm assuming that it's Canadian as they always have elements done or reiterated in French over here, and this is also what Travis Beacham, the film's writer, reblogged on his Tumblr account. Likely representative of a North American release.  :-\

Eh, oh well, I'll live.

I have a feeling a Collector's Edition with a Jaegar or Kaiju figure(s) will be released. This film begs for one. Speaking of which, does anyone know if NECA is done producing Pacific Rim Series 1 action figures? I can't find a Gipsy Danger figure to save my life.

It was a Farm Fresh I believe. They acted like the kids in Willy Wonka when he let them into the candy room. They had carts full of fresh produce, (I really think it was the produce ... the sounds they made while inspecting the lettuce and tomatos where similar to the sounds they were making later on) chips, cookies, pie crusts, soap, and a f**k ton of children's cereal ... particularly Captain Crunch.

So yeah, Pacific Rim.

I would have preferred a climatic battle that took place both under the sea and on the surface. I kept having visions of Raiju fighting in open daylight in a cluster of icebergs.

Like from this.

Yeah, I'll be getting the 3D Blu-Ray set; it and the DVD have the best cover art choices.

I actually thought the Limited Edition was using this as the cover art, based on the image Omega linked initially:

Seriously though, even I commended the film for it's aesthetic appeal. Look at the DVD-BLU-RAY art work they've been pumping out. ALL of it looks appalling, and it misrepresents one of the only good qualities the movie has.

Not that it will hurt sales, but damn, how about giving us some art that is on par with the film? :P

I grew up in the generation of having no idea what the Predator looked like until he took his mask off in the film. All I had to go on was that colorful pixilated shot of Arnold on the front.  :laugh:

So I'm all for not spoiling on boxes. Or at least ... much.  ;)

"Elbow rocket!"  Had round 2 with Pacific Rim today and it was still damn enjoyable.  Just a great time, so well made, exciting, funny.  The designs of the Kaiju is so cool, will have to go back through the thread to see which beasts everyone liked.

Still think they should have implemented some souped up military hardware helping out though, fighter jets, tanks, battleships, imagine Gipsy Danger being knocked down, about to be torn apart then having a formation of jets scream in from nowhere, unloading ordnance, giving them a chance to recover.

So I never knew this until earlier today. del Toro is apparently psyched about doing a Pacific Rim vs. Godzilla movie but would be unsure of how to do it given that he feels Godzilla is more realistic, relative to Pacific Rim. Thoughts on that?

There is a very real and exact way in which a Goadzilla could be introduced within the Pacific Rim universe, based solely upon information solely from the movie itself.

I almost don't want to statye the theory, though,because it is a lot to type out in a mobile, and I kinda don't wanna give them ideas. Would rather have them stay seperate.

I don't think that's how he put it exactly. He likes the idea of Godzilla fighting a Jaeger, because who doesn't, but after fighting to keep Pac Rim its own thing he's probably not too keen on a crossover.

It's an awesome imaginary battle, but who the crap would want to see those two universes mixed? Godzilla is an icon, Pacific Rim is a gimmick.

I don't think that's how he put it exactly. He likes the idea of Godzilla fighting a Jaeger, because who doesn't, but after fighting to keep Pac Rim its own thing he's probably not too keen on a crossover.

Here's the exact quote I read:

Quote"So far with the sequel, what we're writing, what we're creating, is very different, so there are no plans.  Hypothetically, I would love the **** out of it.  I would love to see a Jaeger and Godzilla duke it out.  That would be too much for the human brain.  But I don't think there are plans on that.  I don't even know what direction they're taking Godzilla in. I know somewhat that it's grounded differently.

"[In] Pacific Rim ... the color, the saturation of color, was almost an acid-drip version of the Heavy Metal coloring that I loved when Richard Corben was working there, when [Jean-Claude] Forest was working there.  Super bright, super saturated, the crazy color and aesthetic.  And Godzilla is more realistic, somewhat.  That's my thinking.  That's what I've heard.  I don't even know which way they're going."
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: Gilfryd on Sep 10, 2013, 04:59:24 PM
Hm.

Well hypothetically it doesn't have to be Edwards' Godzilla. They could go with their own take on it. But one would assume Legendary wouldn't want people getting it mixed up with the new movie.
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: DoomRulz on Sep 11, 2013, 11:34:55 AM
That would be precisely why I think, a crossover would never happen because yeah, they don't want people confused and why on Earth would Legendary allow for two different, simultaneous appearances of the same character? It would be like Ben Affleck as Batman in a JLA movie but casting a different actor in a Batman reboot (which we all know is coming).

Quote"The worldwide performance of PACIFIC RIM is a clear testament to the quality and originality of Guillermo's world-building," said Jon Jashni, President and Chief Creative Officer, Legendary Entertainment. "We are pleased that audiences continue to respond so passionately."

"From Moscow to Beijing, PACIFIC RIM has captivated critics and audiences alike in markets all over the world, and become a box office juggernaut," Kwan Vandenberg said. "Congratulations to Guillermo, his cast and crew, and our partners at Legendary for this exciting benchmark."

Fellman added, "Critics and early screening audiences were the first to love PACIFIC RIM and it's exciting to watch the whole world follow suit. We congratulate Guillermo and his team on both sides of the camera, as well as Legendary, for the tremendous success of this film around the globe."

Choke on it, Aspie.

Hellboy III or his take on Frankenstein or AtMoM would be preferable.

We'll probably get a lower budget for the sequel, but I'm thinking they'll reduce the variety of Jaegers and Kaiju and possibly make the fights a bit longer. I'm thinking they end up saving much more money if they don't have to generate a bunch of different kaiju or jaeger that are just used for very brief shots.

People be hating on ID4.  I still remember that being one of the most packed movies of all time as a kid.  Titanic was the worst, it stayed full for what seemed like a month, Jurassic Park was second, and then ID4. 

ID4 gets hated on because its the cool thing not to like big budget action "sci-fi" nowadays, but I was there I still remember when foolz went back to the theaters and saw that shit a multitude of times. 

Taste change but I've never seen them change so much from, "It's awesome!" to "It's shit!"

Some fools be lying.

When Emmerich took on the Japanese monster genre we got a disrespectful turd ashamed of its source material, while Pac Rim embraces it full on. It's way more genuine. Between the two filmmakers it's not even a contest. Emmerich's been riding on ID4 for way too long.

They both have artistic integrity. It's not strength as in power, it's strength as in having firm foundations; being undivided and complete. They both have their own design logic that they adhere to and is internally consistent. You either have integrity or your don't; they both do.

What you're trying to say is "I liked the look and designs of Pacific Rim better".

Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: OmegaZilla on Oct 06, 2013, 02:51:41 PM
We're comparing two different kinds of films when it comes to production design and what kind of designs that are put in it, and what their purpose is.

Independence Day is about humanity first confronting a big threat. It is the first impact if you want to call it that. So what has to be designed is the alien race and its technology - nothing more or less. You do not see the aftermath of how humanity tries to rebuild itself.

In Pacific Rim, the first impact has already happened. We have flash-forwarded into the future of it, with humanity shown after it has been shaped by those enormous and tragic events. So the designs that go in there are not just on the enemy side: you have to design the new cities and the new technology of humanity.


Think about it: Independence Day has nothing equivalent of a Jaeger, or a Shatterdome. And besides that, there is no equivalent of a giant monster either. It makes very little sense to compare any design from the two films that is not directly functionally correlated.

Ultimately, the designs that can effectively be compared are the alien designs. And that is up to you to decide. I definitely prefer the Independence Day aliens - by all means my favourite alien invaders of all time - but that does not mean I don't appreciate the Pacific Rim ones.

Zombies definitely have their charm, but I think they need a bit of a break for the time being. Let them warm up a bit before coming back into the rotation.

Bring on Cthulhu and his minions I say! Movies like Alien, The Thing, In The Mouth of Madness... even Pacific Rim and Hellboy. We need more of that 8)

The question is when will the next movie be made? Del Toro does have alot of projects on the go all the time.

I'd rather see him do something else than follow up on this, honestly.

Pacific Rim (2013)

The colossus, he blocked out the sun and darkness fell all around. Step aside Harryhausen, del Toro has brought giants back into the fold for a new generation utilizing CGI and a whole lotta destruction porn. A love letter to an obvious stream of cult Japanese creations, mainly Godzilla and various other 'Kaiju', alongside the other far eastern love of mechs or mecha.

Mission status: a crack or trench has emerged on the floor of the Pacific Ocean, some kind of portal to another dimension it seems. From this hellish region came the kaiju, huge monsters that have slowly ripped through our civilisation bringing us to our knees (but only in countries around the Pacific? what about Europe? they OK?). To combat this invasion humans build the Jaegers (why are they called this?), colossal robot mecha piloted by two humans, and for a time all was good. But the alien creatures appeared more frequently and became stronger, they started to defeat human defenses, so in a clever decision human leaders decide to scrap the Jaegers and build big walls...yeah that'll work.

Only then does one man come up with the sheer genius idea of dropping a nuke down the portal to try and break the connection between dimensions...seriously no one thought of this when the whole issue cropped up??. Nope they thought it easier to build implausibly massive robots and then big walls. Wouldn't the robots presumably take yonks to build?...in the mean time the monsters destroy humanity?. Oh and did anyone ever actually stop to think if these colossal time consuming constructions would actually have any effect on the monsters at all?? doesn't the whole thing seem like a colossal gamble??...meh maybe its just me then.

Now I will start off by admitting I obviously know what this film is aiming for, its a complete fantasy thrill ride and basically wants to show off big robots fighting big monsters, I see that. The film is a homage whilst at the same time being somewhat of a hyper B-movie in the same vain as 'Independence Day' was. There is a semi serious take to everything but at the same time its a hokey rollercoaster sci-fi ride that delivers exactly what you'd expect, exactly what you pay for and it doesn't try to hide that fact. In short if you go into this wanting a serious realistic approach then you're not gonna get on with this...but we all know this right?.

The whole notion isn't exactly original lets face it, the usual mankind on the brink of destruction by an unknown alien force, this alien force has no real intentions other than to wipe us out and move on to the next world (heard that before right), time to call in the buff heroes who swagger a lot. As the film started I did find myself enjoying it, the giant mechs look good if somewhat stupid at the same time and the white mechanical suits worn by the pilots were super cool and much better than the black suits later on. I loved the detail on the suits as the pilots locked into them, really well done and I loved the massive scale of detail on the Jaeger hangers/command base. There is so much going on, clearly a lot of attention to small details with different types of personnel, equipment, machinery etc...It really feels like they have tried to create a full universe where everything has its place, everything can be explained, everything links to something and is functional. At no point did I ever see anything that I felt was just there to look good, everything seemed to have a purpose.

As time went by I started to grow slightly bored, there is character development and dialog/backstory but its dull, the characters aren't really very interesting to be honest and pretty much everyone acted really really badly. Why on earth they cast the folk they did I don't know, I liked how most of the cast were unknowns (to me) so kudos for trying that because its normally the best option. But Hunnam was awful and merely tried his best to be the new ' LT Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell', Kikuchi was the worst of the lot and appeared to have no acting skills at all plus she was really annoying and Elba seems to have this aura about him at the moment where everybody thinks he's the best thing since sliced bread for some reason (Cumberbatch much?). The other cast members were very hammy, did the scientist guys really need to be such stereotypical nerd-like goofballs?. Oh and its a del Toro film, this means Perlman is in there no matter what...basically playing Hellboy without the makeup.

Then we came to the crux of the film, what its all about, fighting big monsters...big errr neon monsters, why did they go down 'The Phantom Menace' route?. Yep I can't deny the fights at first were pretty cool, I was interested in the big flashy CGI...but only for a while. After I had seen the first couple fights the later ones became very similar and uneventful. I have to say I didn't really like most of the monster designs as they all looked a bit 'Star Wars prequel-ish', I don't understand the obsession with blue neon these days, at times the fights just looked like a big dark, wet, strategically lit CGI cluster (why no daytime fights?? what happened to the daytime??) and the giant mechs were just completely daft. When one pulled out a giant sword from nowhere just because one of the pilots happened to have a thing for katanas (she's Japanese so of course she does)...I groaned.

What I can't get my head around is the fact these mechs move the way they do, because they wouldn't. Yep I know its not meant to be taken seriously but really! these things would be so heavy and slow, one movement would probably take ages yet these things run and move like a regular human! and then there are the silly little moments like making the mech slam its hands together in a martial arts stance before battle...really? you'd probably damage your mech doing that. I'm also pretty sure most of these monsters would be much more agile and faster than the mechs and would defeat them easily everytime. If the creatures are of reasonable intelligence I'm sure they would see a punch/hit coming a mile off. The mechs are powerful but (would/should be) too slow, it would take time to do things and then reset.

Also the idea that the pilots control them by being hooked up to each other via the brain seems soooooo unbelievably risky and unstable, god knows what you'd find out about the other guy, doesn't matter how well you know him/her. Wouldn't it be more sensible to make the controls more open for more potential pilots? surely doing it this way is just restricting yourself big time, you know there will be problems in the future with numbers through death, just seems idiotic. I must say I did like the cockpit interior though, a mass of LCD HUDs in various colours which looked both impossibly confusing yet ultra slick and cool, unsure how the hell those guys could see anything out of their windscreen though.

Their movements would cause tonnes of destruction in itself just by walking, wouldn't dropping into the ocean, walking and fighting in the ocean cause tsunami's?. When they fight a monster in Hong Kong I'm pretty sure they caused massive amounts of damage just walking through the city, then we have the 'Man of Steel' issue, why didn't they try and move the fight out of the city?. Yes I'm being picky but these things are obvious.

There aren't many fights actually believe it or not, the film is quite dull whilst you wait for the fights but then once you've seen one darkly lit battle with mechs stomping around you've seen them all. But I must ask why the monsters never seem to attack any military bases where the mechs are stored? or why the monsters didn't try and destroy the mechs whilst in construction? that would have been easy no?

But despite all that the film is a comic book-like monster mash so you gotta put all that aside, if you can. The film is a well constructed homage to the cult genre and it does it proud I can't deny, but for everyone else not overly involved in this genre it really does play out like yet another factory line CGI stuffed Hollywood blockbuster production. Having del Toro at the helm has certainly given the film an edge in the visual department, mainly sets and monsters wise but that doesn't really alter the fact its no surprise this didn't do as well as expected. Is it possible the idea of Godzilla type monsters, big robots and even more destruction porn turned people off? doesn't bode well for the Godzilla reboot.

Its big, its loud and its flashy, its actually a complete rip off from the 80's cartoon 'Inhumanoids' to a degree (look it up kids). Why did the pilots require that intense martial arts sparring training? how did that have anything to do with what they actually had to do? is this because the mechs are suppose to be able to perform martial arts just like their pilots? or was it just a chance to sneak in an obligatory sexy martial arts sequence just for the hell of it?...hmmm for shame Guillermo.

I never said you have to like it. But to ask pointless questions like why humanity would bother to build giant robots instead of other possibly better ideas is missing the point. You wouldn't have a movie about giant robots fighting monsters, that's why. With such an inherently silly premise, you have to accept the silly aspects of it. Giant robots like these are probably not even physically possible, so why nitpick? You can hate it, hate the archetypal characters, overly enthusiastic goofball performances, etc. That's fine, it's your opinion. Questioning the very premise of the movie? That's just silly. If you can't just go with it, then perhaps the film isn't for you. No biggie.

Lol Alien was simply another movie about a monster killing people. And that turned out great.

Alien is obviously a much better experience, but simplicity can go a long way. This movie AWED me. Been a while since that's happened. Sure, the story wasn't impressive, but sometimes it's not about the story. And I strongly believe this is the case with PR.

Evidence that word of mouth is the best and cheapest way to sell your movie. (It just takes longer than the bean counters care to wait before labeling it a financial flop ... those greedy grey skinned hollow ass bureaucratic bastards.)

The toy line is doing well. There's tons of DLC coming out for the bare bones XBL game on the horizon and I bet right about now they are kicking themselves in thinking they could have had a more polished retail version of this game. (There is still hope!) It's the number 1 top selling movie on Amazon right now and it's not even out yet!

The Pacific Rim Phoenix is rising. Start writing that sequel mother f**kers! I wanna see human control Kaiju fighting Kaiju. Jaeger vs Jaeger. Jaeger/Kaiju hybrids. Fallen Heros turned Villains betraying their comrades. Daylight snowy mountain clashes between monsters and robots. Globe spanning espionage and action. More countries joining the fight! Jungle battles. Ariel battles. Space battles. Battles in other dimensions.

Yeah, but now being realistic. The first two are not going to happen, at least not in the next 10 years (5 years being optimistic), and PR sucks.


I don't think Frankenstein has been done to death, I mean, of course it has been, but not a deep and loyal adaptation of the novel. They sort of have gone the "silly horror/sci-fi" thing, but haven't much replicated the romantic/deep tone of it.
Kenneth Branagh's the exception of course, but Del Toro promises to tackle the "Miltonian" aspect of the monster.
And seeing how good Del Toro is doing both dark and humane stuff (just check Pan's Labyrinth!) it could be like "the ultimate Frankenstein adaptation to big screen!!".


Or even if is not that good, it will be still 1,000 better than this PR shit.

Why don't they just give the sword that Gypsy Danger had to all Jaegers? It seemed like the most effective way of killing Kaiju's.
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: Nightmare Asylum on Oct 14, 2013, 11:11:48 PM
Maybe I'm misremebering things (I haven't seen the film since opening night), but I was under the impression that the sword was a recent addition to Gypsy Danger (hence why Raleigh didn't think to use it). The other Jaegers, as far as I remember, hadn't been upgraded in a while.

QuoteIGN: Do you think with something like Pacific Rim 2, can the Blu-ray make or break a sequel?

GDT: No, we are writing the sequel. Travis Beacham and I are writing, so that is active. The decision to green light or not, that's definitely above my pay rate.

IGN: Right, that's definitely a film we hope to see. Obviously, you've already built this universe. So for someone like me looking from the outside it seems like in a lot of ways it would be easier to make the sequel, because so much of this infrastructure already exists. Does that make sense?

GDT: It does. To me, what was beautiful and flattering was how people saw the movie not once or twice but three, four times or more. People that love it, love it with great passion. So I would love to continue telling stories about that world.

Checked out everything else already. I really wish there was something out there on the scale of the extras that came with the Alien Legacy Bluray box or the LOTR extended editions. I like to be overwhelmed and drowned in extras. So much so that I can't even scratch the surface in one sitting.

The commentary is delicious.

Del Toro's voice just rolls over you like a tide of imagination and you go drifting out into this alien sea of his subconscious. Besides shining a light on less obvious but beautifully crafted narrative and tonal symmetries; he points out some great little visual details that I totally missed after about a bajillion views.

Yellow Alien is right ... you'll love/appreciate the movie more after you watch it.

Doom. Leathrback is a beast isn't he? Like a pound and a half of solid plastic. Very nicely articulated as well. Just wish his teeth were painted the appropriate color.

****

Something unrelated to the commentary ...

There are two scenes that mention something that have a potentially double meaning. Let me know what you guys think.

#1. When Hannibal removes his glasses and we see his damaged eye and he says "I tried it once ... Just once." Does he mean drifting with a Kaiju? Or going to a Public Shelter?

The line comes right after he says he is going to his own private shelter and that Newt has to go to a public one. However he does seem to recognize Newts bloody eye as evidence of drifting and starts going ape-shit even before the alarms go off. He then expounds his theory angrily as if he has dealt with it personally.

#2. When Newt is explaining his experience in the Drift to Pentecost he says "They've been here before. The dinosaurs! But the atmosphere wasn't right, so they waited." Does he mean the Kaiju wiped out the dinosaurs OR the Kajju were the dinosaurs?

At that point I guess the Kaiju didn't transmit back there findings. They had to return physically perhaps? It's big, broad strokes in terms of ideas and can probably be refined in future stories and films. Didn't he also say something to the effect of "It was a trial run." or "A test?"

Quote from: SpaceMarines on Oct 19, 2013, 07:20:56 AM
I think he just said "The dinosaurs!" to give a time frame.

I think he would have said "The Cretaceous Period!" if all he wanted to do was give a time period. Or at least said "65 millions years ago." instead of picking the dominate form of life on the planet for the time and announcing it. Unless saying it had something more to do with the event itself.

The Dinosaurs being the first Kaiju does make sense from the over the top science fiction rules this film rides on. They mention dinosaurs having two brains and Kaiju having the same feature. But 125-65 million years ago is a loooong time between versions. Also, why so many different 'species' of dinosaur/kaiju? Different functions?

If you follow that logic you can basically assume that mammals and there for humans where also created by the Precursors with the soul purpose of terraforming the planet. Like some kind of bacteria that performs a function before having to be cleansed away.
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: Nightmare Asylum on Oct 19, 2013, 12:39:01 PM
Yeah, both times I saw the movie I was under the same impression. Then dinosaurs were the prototypes for the kaiju, but the Earth wasn't ready to handle the change that the Precursors wanted so they let the dinosaurs go extinct and killed a few other planets in the 65 million years before Earth met their standards. That theory was only reinforced later in the movie when they mentioned that the dinosaurs and kaiju both had a secondary brain.

That makes me think, maybe if the first few waves of kaiju had been succesful and exterminated all life on Earth, the Precursors would have used one last wave of kaiju to 'terraform' the planet to the Precursors liking. We already saw Leatherback equipped with a weapon (the EMP to take down the Jaegers); maybe the final wave of kaiju would have been equipped with some sort of biological terraforming ability. So maybe the dinosaurs had some biological device equipped to them that our paleontologists haven't discovered yet :D

Post by: Bat Chain Puller on Oct 19, 2013, 03:03:05 PM
Everything we think we know about the dinosaurs is all (at the end of the day) a guess. Nobody, anywhere, ever will be able to fully understand what they looked like, how they behaved, or what the world they lived in felt like.

Now let your imagination run wild in that vacuum of knowledge and insert any number of crazy speculations.

It's not too far a stretch in my mind. Especially when looking through the goggles of science fiction. Dinosaurs were really the largest land creatures (that we currently know of) that ever existed on this planet. Why is it such a stretch that giant monsters in a science fiction movie are somehow related to giant monsters in real life?

Oh I almost forgot. Because you're aspie!

Or the Kaiju wiped out the dinosaurs... even though the atmosphere wasn't compatible with their biology...

Those monsters were actually the dinosa-... lol come on.

Or the Kaiju wiped out the dinosaurs... even though the atmosphere wasn't compatible with their biology...

Both options are Syfy channel buffoonery.

The first attempt at kaiju on Earth was the dinosaurs. Didn't really work as well as the Precursors had planned (bye bye dinosaurs) so the they waited until Earth was more Precursor-friendly and unleashed the new kaiju on the planet to clear the path for them.

This advanced Alien/multi-dimensional being/or whatever race... who have the ability to technologically engineer giant monster soldiers...so they wipe out the dinosaurs, only to arrive on an unoccupied Earth just to say "oops. Well, shit. Looks like we have to wait a little while and do this all over again." ... :P

If you think U.S. box office turn out for PR was horrid, imagine if they go in that direction. The next Grown Ups sequel might double PR 2 Box Office opening.

Again, they didn't wipe out the dinosaurs. They made them and sent them to Earth and then they died. Earth wasn't ready for their biology, so they waited and came back millions of years later with the kaiju (basically dinosaurs with millions of years of innovation) when it was. Probably killed a few thousand other planets in the meantime.

... what/who were the Dinosaurs meant to eliminate, then?


Surely they weren't created just to test the atmosphere, MUCH simpler organisms and/or tests could've been created for that.

In comparison to the kaiju, the dinosaurs were much simpler organisms :D

Anyways, I took it as the Precursors creating the dinosaurs to terraform Earth, but when that plan failed and the dinosaurs died out they just waited the planet out. By the time it was ready for them, Earth was filled with these annoying human pests so they sent the big kaiju to wipe them out before they came and did what they pleased with the planet.

I like how almost every scene with characters talking from out of frame sounds like they changed the VO dialogue from the scripted lines in post and just hoped they'd mesh with what was spoken on-set.

"Cave Johnson here! Now I know there has been some bad publicity and pointing fingers over the recent sinking of one of our Aperture Science cargo ships in Pacific. I would just like to reiterate once again that our ship was not carrying transdimensional portal technology and wasn't sunk due to a spontaneous fire related to lemons. As for the giant monsters appearing in the vicinity of our sunken ship that is just highly coincidental. But despite all these accusations, Cave Johnson and Aperture Science has your back! Starting today, all Pan Pacific Defense Corp Jaegers will be running on our repurposed GlaDOS operating system! So sleep easy world and know that those 2500 tons of death metal are being safely operated by our Aperture brand operating system! This is Cave Johnson, were done here!"

Part of it was because it was an accident. It was an uncontrollable variable that he did not want to risk happening in the middle of a battle, which it easily could have. He sent it out after the EMP because it was literally the last option left.

We dont know how their systems work but the point is that GD wouldn't be shut down permanently from the attack.
They would need to reboot (if possible) their systems and so on but the reactor is going to keep going while the others were completely screwed because they literally cant do anything. 
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: DoomRulz on Nov 14, 2013, 02:21:27 PM
I think the point was, now that I think about it, that Gipsy ran on a separate system that the other Jaegers weren't tied into. An EMP blast would've only hurt her had she been in action when it went off.

A hot pocket, lol.

So in the great question of whether we could build giant robots or not, the response is typically no because our world's physics system wouldn't allow for such massive, mobile units. Would it stand to reason then that giant kaiju could never exist in the real world on that basis alone?

On Cherno, what's the big deal with them? The Russians didn't receive much screentime and barely said anything in the movie.

I know alot of people are going to be all "say whut?" but I just watched this last night and I thought it was pretty crap to be honest.

This film seemed to avoid all the stick and criticism that films like Transformers and Battleship got but I found it to be just as stupid. I expected way better from Del Toro who's films I love. I just dont understand how so many who seem to hate Transformers can love this. Its the same dumb shit and I didnt care for a single character. Not even Idris Elba and hes f**king awesome.

The plot is absolutely preposterous and the whole concept of drifting and the jaegers is f**king ridiculous. Granted everything in Transformers was just plain idiotic but I expected that. Maybe because Del Toro was at the helm I expected more but the whole premise was just too stupid and I couldnt get into the film.

Also the two scientist characters (including the one who meets with Ron Perlmans character) were unbelievably irritating. I was going to buy this on Blu Ray thinking it was a no brainer that I'd like it, but I rented it for a couple of quid and Im glad I did. Decent but not worth a rewatch. Spectacular yes, but beyond the mayhem on screen there's nothing that makes me want to come back to it.

Now im going to run away before the shit storm.

I honestly think if I went into this not knowing anything about it, I'd have probably loved it. But I just expected too much with it being Del Toro. Big fan of his films and he's proved he can do big budget hollywood films before and not just the likes of Pan's Labrynth and Cronos. I love Blade II and the Hellboy films so I thought I'd like this.

What's even weirder is that I like the Roland Emmerich Godzilla film but that may be down to Nostalgia because I saw it when I was about 10.

I think I'll have to wait a while and watch it again and see if it grows on me.

It's not impervious to criticism. It's a f**king flawed movie. If people can get past that on the basis of "It's giant monsters fighting giant robots!", cool. If they respond to the characters, cool.

Thats exactly how I felt watching it. Sure the action was impressive but after 30 minutes of it almost non stop in the final third of the film I just became numb to it. And before anybody pulls out the old "its just a monster movie, have fun it with" line, I love plenty of "switch your brain off" movies but if theres nothing that grabs me other than the action then Its usually not something Im bothered about returning to.

One of my favourite films is Tremors. Lets be honest, its shit. Stupid plot, silly characters, at times ropey SFX but you know what the characters and great and the dialogue endears you to them. If the characters didnt work in Tremors people wouldn't love it for the giant worms alone.

Well, I can understand that. While I do like the characters in Pacific Rim (esp the two scientists), I feel, in comparison to a creature feature like Tremors, there is less of a sense of grounded humanity in the PR characters. However what are definitely less superficial and more detailed than most other creature features are the robots and aliens themselves as well as the world PR exists within.  PR succeeds highest on these terms.

I'll be honest: I relate and care so much less about the "human element" in most genre films I watch and long for the "alien" element that PR was breath of fresh air for me. Stuff like Tremors fails the test of my particular taste because it deals with characters who are laymen or from non-scientific (or not from previous alien-contact) backgrounds. Thus, little information on the creatures themselves can be collected and divulged upon by these types of characters (in film; stories can have more time to explain a characters observations at least such as Lovecraft's works) have this due to their inexperience or limitations of understanding.

Used too strong of a word, its clearly not shit. Just trying to get the point across that at its core just a daft, silly monster movie but its well loved by many, including myself. I love it for the monsters AND the characters, whereas a Pacific Rim, I got nothing out of the story or the characters. I wasnt invested in it. So yeah the big spectacle was outstanding and great to look at, but I'm not bothered about seeing it again because I can see that kind of thing time and time again elsewhere.

Some people, infact most, don't give a rats about anything beyond "monsters v mechs" and thats fine. For them it's probably the best damn film theyve seen in years and thats fine too.

But its my own opinion that aside from the action, if youre looking for more (and I was from Del Toro) you wont necessarily get it here. The two scientists have to be the most irritating characters ive seen in a film for a while too. Didnt "get" them at all.

Anyway just hurry the f**k up and get Hellboy III rolling dammit.

Pacific Rim has reached the point of being LOVED despite it's flaws. (Maybe even because of them!) And that to me is lighting in a bottle. A accidental gumbo that is hard to formulate and produce again.

Some people can't reconcile this and attempt to dissect why the film is good or bad based on whatever the hands of their agenda can grasp. Hard core champions and detractors of Pacific Rim often end up hurting their own cases and come off sounding like complete morons or bored hipsters with nothing left to do with their time but to bicker with strangers over the internet.

The parts without the robot fighting where predictable but they weren't awful. It was basically just like Avatar. Almost the whole plot of the movie is totally predictable but the execution was good so the criticism of the plot being flat is valid but average rating gets a bump because the other stuff was great. People dump on the Transformers films because EVERYTHING is bad, EVERYTHING. The only good thing about GI JOE was the Zartan evil speech scene, Jonathan Pryce killed it in that scene. The rest wasnt fun because the trailers already showed all the fighting scenes.

It's like watching Kung Fu flicks, the story is always meh so you wait to see the cool fighting scenes. If you are not going to be interested in the fighting scenes i could see how you would think the movie is bad because the rest didnt offer the same level of excitement that the fighting scenes did.

I disagree wtih this too, but I think I tolerated way better Avatar than PR (well, in most of the cases).

I liked the scene during which he was playing Angry Birds in the face of nuclear annihilation myself. But that's neither here nor there

I would choose this movie over Avatar any day of the week.

Pacific Rim was a simple, enjoyable film that didn't have much depth, but it worked for what it was. del Toro wasn't trying to do anything beyond entertain audiences.

No, but that was wonderful.

I love stuff like this, because it just helps relatively new themes become more iconic.  Now I can go back to Djawadi's actual recording and it'll sound like the frickin Jurassic Park theme to me, in terms or grandure.

The revolutionary stuff was about the tech and computer effects being used.

Except SW and JP had meaty stories to accompany them and in the case of JP, were somewhat subtle about it. Avatar didn't even know how to spell "subtle". But that's an issue for another thread :)

No they didn't.
All these flicks were had average adventure scripts.
What elevated each was the combination with the effects.

He showed that he can drift with their machines and he works with the human machines so he has info on them.

Is it like ... Gipsy Dangers dick or is it like.. the head of Gipsy Danger on a dildo.  I am so confused and laughing my ass off at the same time.

What do I do with the other 5?  I guess I can glue them to my wall and use them as coat hangers....

Recentley saw this.
Enjoyed it a lot, but didn't quite go as mad for it as others. 'Action', music and effects awesome, characters meh and humour often fell flat.
The kaijus were cool but all a bit similar I thought. Coulda' done with taking the shapes of other real life animals like the ape influence in Leatherback. I also didn't really get any sense of threat or danger from them except for Otachi - how was she not a class 5?!
I thought whilst cool, the fight between her and Gipsy Danger was also a bit ridiculous even by the film's standards when both pulled out random advanatges they hadn't show much or at all all earlier, leap-frogging in power until one won like two kids making up super powers in an make-believe playground game:
"Ok mine had a tail that comes alive and attacks!"
"Yeah, well, mine has nitrogen sprayers so you're tail is frozen and I smash it so there!"
"Oh yeah, well mine has, like, WINGS and we're flying you off into SPACE now!"
"Yeah but mine has a chainsaw sword and we've cut you in half and we won hahah."

I enjoyed this movie.... but I must ask if they had lots of jaegers  how come they would only deploy one to protect certain areas/cities when they could just send them all to the breach and gang bang the shit outta the 1 kaiju that comes through...  seems kind of odd to just sit back and wait to see where they need to send one, rather than do all these one on one battles in populated areas.

I feel like Otachi was the most dangerous kaiju aside from Slattern. That tail combined with the wings and acid spit made it seem like his attack methods had the most variety.

The way I see it.

1-Slattern
2-Otachi
3-Leatherback
4-Knifehead
etc.

If they were all to attack at once, damn that'd be hectic!
Was it ever stated why the "Masters" never sent more that 1-3 through the rift at a time?
Was there like a limit of how many Kaiju could go through at a time? I always wondered why they never sent wave after wave and just overwhelm the jaegers...

I was rewatching some of the fight scenes just now and I really like (though this may have been unintentional and me just looking into it too hard) how 'human' Gipsy seemed to behave at times. Like, when she turns around after the initial nuke blast before the water comes back at her, or when she regains her footing after Leatherback tosses her. I swear there's a growl there, immediately after the shot of Leatherback roaring at the tip of the dock.

*her ;)

Also, I think from performance Otachi was the most dangerous. What did Slattern actually do? :P
Otachi took out two jaegers in relativley quick succession. (technically Leatherback helped with the second but there was no real doubt she had it covered herself if he hadn't appeared)
Slattern needed help with Euereka, despite being much larger.

Slattern was able to take it to Striker was doing a pretty good job of it too until she plunged her blades into Slatter's armpits. Those were nasty.

As much as I like Slattern, I kinda have to agree. Compared to every other Kaiju in the film it may have done the least amount of damage.

Which is a shame cause in the video game it's amazing. It can fire a goddamn massive Godzilla-style electric beam why the f**k wasn't that in the movie.

QuoteIt's funny, I fell in love with this character. The key component was this relationship I had with my son, exploring the dysfunction and the loss, so where does Herc go from here? I don't know. It'll be interesting to see where Guillermo (del Toro) and Travis Beacham take it. I don't know if it's a prequel or a sequel, but if it's a prequel you'll learn more about Herc's family history. But Guillermo has such a vivid imagination, it could go anywhere.

Could be interesting, only downside is there would be no more category 5 kaiju's considering they mention at the end of the film that Slattern was the first one they've ever encountered..
This means they'll have to stick to the lower level kaiju..hmm

Alright, that may have been a bit over the top.
But I still didn't get any real sense of danger from any but Otachi.
Leatherback didn't seem particularly deadly except for his E.M.P burst, Scunner and...the other one outside the Breech were dealt with pretty easily and for all his size and intimidation Slattern did little.

I think with some lower-grade Jaegers it may even up the fights a bit. I think it'd be cool if there was some re-occuring kaiju that had killed multiple jaegers as an overall villain.

Leatherback flattened Cherno and like Omega pointed out, Knifehead ripped Gipsy apart, literally. Raiju was dangerous but I think only in the water. On land it likely would have killed rather easily.

Actually, the arm probably wouldn't have been torn off, seeing as how extraordinarily well-built Cherno is. Plus, the "head" is a decoy, so Cherno was far from disabled. Cherno was reeling back another punch. Most likely would have knocked Otachi off and killed her afterwards if not for that Leatherback bitch sucker punching her.

He was half dissolved. Otachi had already killed one jaeger and nearly killed Gipsy too. She had him, Leatherback just sped things up.

They were still functioning, even though the acid had reached the cockpit. We'll never know, I guess.

The fight could have been easily turned around. Otachi was just sitting there, gnawing on the arm. Cherno was pulling her arm back to release another punch. Could have knocked Otachi off and run up and torn her apart.

It seems like his only advantage was in the water given his body shape.

Raiju and Scunner were never intended to leave the water, I don't think. They were just meant to keep the jaegers busy while Slattern was being prepped.

I'd agree with that. They didn't have a reason to leave either since the jaegars came straight to them.

Were they basically still underwater on the other side of that portal?  I mean, their escape pods basically  floated upwards through that portal.  I'm surprised these Kaiju weren't bred with gills, unless the alien homeworld is like that of a mother's whom in which it's easy for the Kaiju to travel from their atmosphere directly to Earth's ocean waters.

There was no real explanation as to why the portal opened under the Pacific.

No, I'd never buy an action figure to leave it in the package. But as said I quite like dramatic poses and it is very difficult to do anything with this figure. Not a first time either. So I'm going to pick ED up (just for its accuracy) and then hasta la vista, baby.

Well, I know firsf hand from actually speaking to Alex Heinke himself, when he visited our college, that, specifically with Pacific Rim, they had to take the safe approach and go with simple cheap articulation to test with the first wave to see if the merchandise was worth further producing.  Evidently, that's been proven true with the figures selling-out, so now NECA can (annoyingly) re-release its figures in improved sculpt and articulation - similar to the Predator line.

From Cabinet of Curiosities:

Quote"I think I've been preparing for Pacific Rim all my life, Guillermo says. "When I was a kid, I saw The War of the Gargantuas in a shitty theater in Mexico, and I got a glass of pee thrown on my head from the balcony, and I stayed to finish the movie. That's how much a I love kaijus, you know?"

Pacific Rim is far from an Oscar film, but it definitely should have been nominated for visual effects over The Lone Ranger and Iron Man 3. I'd still give the award to Gravity, though.

Pretty sure the movie still makes the money off the free tickets, the money just comes out of the theater's (or wherever it was you got the free tickets from) pocket rather than your own ;)

I personally buy bundles of tickets from the local AAA building. A lot cheaper than paying for tickets right from the theater, and I can use them on any movie. My theater also has a free rewards program, which gets me money off concessions and (occasionally) free tickets.

If you simply have to enhance small stuff with CGI, surely it's far easier. In Pacific Rim you create entire creatures... hell, Cities. Looking fotorealistic to the very Detail. Visually speaking it was revolutionary. The use of CGI in the Lone Ranger though was not... surely not enough to deserve a nomination.

Pacific Rim wasn't photorealistic in every detail. And there wasn't anything "revolutionary" about its effects. The processes used on the movie haven't changed how filmmakers see or utilize visual effects.

Probably not either, but effects don't have to be revolutionary to be nominated or awarded.

Totally.

The best effects are the ones the average viewer doesn't have any clue about - because that means they're doing their job.

Whether one film utilised them for the sake of spectacle, versus another's requirement to simply enhance something in a way you don't realise, should never be factored into whether the end results, themselves, are more deserving of a particular award. Just because effects are most famously used to generate spectacle, means nothing.

Go and watch 'Underworld'. Yeah, that shot of the werewolf's taloned hand squeezing the metal train roof is iconic, but the best effects shot is the one you don't know was there: The mechanical clockwork nature of Viktor's tomb opening up. Everyone thinks that's a practical shot - it's not.

Same applies to the first of the AVP films. CGI spaceships, CGI Aliens, CGI Predators... Yeah, all very flashy. But the best CGI was how the pyramid shifts around. Again, something a lot of viewers assume to be practical, but was all done with lots of CGI.

Go and watch 'Black Hawk Down'. A ton of CGI was used to make a helicopter look like it's blowing debris all around the place and you'd swear it was just a conventional practical shot with actual hardware. No-one holds it up as an iconic piece of special effects-heavy wizardry, though, because it doesn't have spaceships zooming around or giant robots stomping all over the landscape...
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: MrSpaceJockey on Jan 26, 2014, 11:44:27 PM
Agreed.  I actually find it funny when I read comments still complaining about the overuse of CGI, because it's longer appropriate for a lot of films (the Nostalgia Critic's editorial about CGI that was released a few months ago ago didn't hate on CGI, but still seemed quite outdated because it cited things like Jar Jar Binks - from 15 years ago). 

Yeah, there are definitely movies do not use CGI properly, but we've reached a stage where a good amount of movies do use it without the audience every knowing, whether its subtle usage you'd never notice or entire backgrounds you'd never would've guessed.  Those ILM behind the scenes videos sometimes blow my mind.
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: DoomRulz on Jan 27, 2014, 12:31:36 PM
The problem isn't CG being overused I think. The problem is that the CG is meant to overshadow the lack of story or a poor story, i.e. the Transformers movies, Avatar, etc...

My favourite use of CG is when something is clearly CG-rendered like the dinosaurs in JP or the jaegers in PR and they look real. Visually, the film was stunning because there were scenes to me where they didn't look like computer creations.

To me CGI's problem is that it hasn't quite replaced practical effects on characters.  I can count on one hand how many times I've been fooled by CGI when it comes to use on characters in films.

Its also surprising to me how older movies like JP and the first SST have better CGI than many movies today.  Suppose it has to do with them being shot in a more background role, and often times in the dark.

Still it has come along way and I don't particularly mind it.

It think it's because the animated characters in shots were done on location.  Natural lighting and camera work is an ally for well done CGI.  Most films, especially Pacific Rim and Avatar, have animation in almost completely digital and artificial environments.  Excessive green screen use, while a big visual problem solver in many cases, also diminishes the naturalistic quality of a shot. 

Jurassic Park and Star Ship was basically all on location.

That's why I'm hoping Gareth's Godzilla will have pretty flawless CGI like Emmerich's did, because both these guys have/ will be animating on raw footage.

For the most part they were background to the main characters.  The one scene that they weren't that I can recall off the top of my head is the Gallamimus (sp?) scene which has subsequently aged the worst.  The Raptors were mostly shot indoors or far enough away that you weren't analyzing every little movement.  TRex was mostly shot at night in the rain or indoors again far enough away that I didn't think the CGI was obvious.

So when I get Cherno I will buy a bottle of vodka and watch Pacific Rim...when I get Coyote I will buy some sake and watch Pacific Rim again!

Also I order the Pacific Rim Calendar and the buttons should be here next week.

At that point in time you probably just consolidate resources.  Kind of like Asuka being an American pilot with a Japanese parent that is used later as a pilot by NERV.

Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: OmegaZilla on Feb 03, 2014, 02:19:03 PM
Mutavore, Otachi, Leatherback, Scunner, and Raiju were the Cat4s shown in the film.
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: Space Sweeper on Feb 03, 2014, 02:36:57 PM
I do sometimes find myself wondering what governs the category system, seeing as Knifehead was a Cat-III, yet it was much taller and heavier than Leatherback, Mutavore, Otachi, and so-on. Knifehead technically could/should have been labeled a Cat-IV.
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: DoomRulz on Feb 03, 2014, 02:52:15 PM
Otachi possessed abilities the others didn't, namely flight and acid spit. He was easily more dangerous than the others, hence the higher category ranking.
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: OmegaZilla on Feb 03, 2014, 02:53:16 PM
The problem is, how do they know that? They immediately say they're Cat4s before the things did anything.

They gave those categories as soon as they were detected though, without any special display. Mutavore didn't have anything special as shown either, and Leatherback's EMP was also unheard of when he was given the ranking.

Post by: OmegaZilla on Feb 03, 2014, 02:58:17 PM
Not to mention that the film seems to imply the categories 'grew' as time went by, with CatIs and IIs appearing first, then IIIs, IVs, and finally a V.

And yet Trespasser (Axe-headed thing from the prologue) is far more massive than anything else in the film.
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: Space Sweeper on Feb 03, 2014, 03:04:11 PM
Yeah, and they didn't even give him a category rating. I took his massive size as some kind of sign of being a vanguard of sorts, initially sending a gargantuan beast through to test the waters (take or leave the pun).

I do sometimes wish we could have seen Slattern and the other Cat-IVs guarding the Breach on a land attack.
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: DoomRulz on Feb 03, 2014, 04:08:43 PM
He wouldn't have been placed in a category because when he attacked, no one knew about the kaiju. I'm under the impression that the category system was implemented after the jaeger program began.
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: Requiem28 on Feb 03, 2014, 04:46:12 PM
NECA is basically done with making Jaegers for right now, unless they feel like doing a Tactic Ronin or whatever, so now they'll be focusing their efforts on bringing the rest of the kaiju.  I just really hope they don't procrastinate again with making new kaiju and go ahead with "battle damage" repaints or variants.

I think they said they want to whip out around four figs a wave now, which would be nice since there are so many kaiju left.

I'm hoping for Otachi, Mutavore, Karloff and Onibaba for wave four, and "winged/ battle damaged" Otachi (with baby kaiju), Scunner, Raiju and finally Slattern for wave five to probably finish off the series, unless they want to bring out concept designs.

I assume he's talking about this concept

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fstatic3.wikia.nocookie.net%2F__cb20130912030422%2Fpacificrim%2Fimages%2F6%2F69%2FArt-axehead_concept_kaiju000.jpg&hash=3a626b5af82f53ee46ddd5e209cf7bb2f617e5a3)

Although I do like the differentiation, I really wish NECA would quit with the slightly modded releases and just get the rest of the kaiju that are on film released already.  Perhaps they're currently sculpting the others as well, and I know they're busting their asses with other projects too.  Probably the hardest working toy company with minimal staff - but, if it's minimal staff that's causing these delays, why not hire more sculptors that have experience?  I'm sure they can afford it now.


Anyway, I really cant wait to get series 3 and see series 4.

The funny thing is, that concept was for Bladehead (the Sydney Monster) and WAS eventually used in the film -- you see it in the prologue. Twice.

That would be Hardship, the kaiju seen fighting Romeo Blue -

Axehead is the same as Trespasser, just with a different back plate. It's more like Knifehead's than the big hump he had in the movie. I don't know why they're treating it as two different creatures in the toy line.

They've said the same about Slattern, the two would have to be deluxe figures in larger packaging.

If they made a Mutavore they could always reuse the body and make Hardship. That would leave Onibaba, Raiju and Karloff.

Yeah, I was hoping for Mutavore instead. I don't mind seeing Otachi though. I think there will be two variations. One with open wings and one with closed wings.

No one seems to grasp the idea that freaking Kaiju blood is god damn toxic! Why would you want that all over the freaking water?

Well, to be fair, while they mentioned in the opening prologue that the Kaiju blood was toxic and showed a couple guys in hazmat suits checking out a dead Kaiju's body, they never really did show us the toxic effects of the Kaiju blood.

No-one seems to grasp it because it's a throwaway line in the introduction that's never brought up again in the entire film despite multiple instances where it could be. The only people really bothering with suits near Otachi's corpse were the people who went inside her.

QuoteWhy would you want that all over the freaking water?
Why would they suddenly care about that when they didn't at the beginning of the movie or, y'know, ten minutes prior when they were trying to kill the Kaiju in the water ... ?

People ask "Why don't they use the sword first" not because they're cynics, but because the film gives you absolutely no good reason they shouldn't. When your entire plot is about how desperate humanity is getting in the last days of a war and you walk out your protagonist with the ultimate anti-Kaiju one-hit-KO weapon strapped to its wrist, there better be a damn good reason they don't use that until the worst possible moment.

I mean, I can kind of forgive it for Leatherback, as they still had their guns. But when their ammo ran out they both had to decide to pick up a boat to use to bash Otachi's head in, when Mako knew there was a giant f**k-off sword strapped to their wrist.

"Humanity is on the brink of destruction! Let's not use our weapons, let's use debris lying around! This will totally work!"

I love seeing a giant robot pummel a giant monster with a boat, I really do, but as an act of desperation, not character retardation and plot contrivance.

Nah don't buy it SiL. Polluting a water source doesn't hold a candle to slicing that thing open on the mainland. The saving grace is that we have no clue how 'toxic' the blood was, or in what way.

You could have a polluted bay for a few months, and deal with the repercussions, or a crapload of toxic Kaiju blood spill all over a downtown section of a city, leading to who knows what for the inhabitants there. Maybe they all get cancer, and sue the f**k out of the city, the gov't, military, Jager program, etc... That's on top of the obvious damage it would do if it got to the shore. I'm sure protocol would say 'kill it in the water at any cost, because some polluted water is a lot better than millions in property damage and lawsuits from sick people."

I think in light of the glory that the film is, that is a bit of a nitpick.

I mean, could be the difference between small, penetrating wounds and blunt force trauma or the sudden severing of the majority of the creature, spilling fresh liquid toxic blood in the thousands of gallons all over everything. I mean shit, I'm sure the thing's blood has to act like blood and coagulate or something. Fresh blood might be more potent than blood diluted in water or blood that's sat around for awhile, just like all other blood.

I buy it, and I don't feel that's because I'm wearing fan-wank glasses. :laugh:
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: SiL on Mar 16, 2014, 04:26:55 AM
Of course it's because of the fan-wank glasses :laugh:

There's no good reason for them not to pull the sword out first thing. No-one has a problem walking around Otachi's corpse without a suit, only the people walking in her seem to bother. The toxicity argument is crap. Everyone's already in shelters, if the toxicity dies down that quickly, just keep everyone where they are until it clears up.

They trashed half a dozen buildings in a punch-up and caused unnecessary, expensive damage to Gipsy Danger by not just drawing their giant f**k-off sword and cutting her down until the last possible moment.

It is nothing but stupid even by the film's standards.
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: RagingDragon on Mar 16, 2014, 05:06:59 AM
By that rationale, I guess they should've pulled the sword out first encounter in the bay.

Point SiL.

But fan wank again by Pentecost having his own battle-plan, that even Striker had to disobey or everything would've gone completely tits up. Also, Gypsy wasn't even engaged until they made landfall, yes? Or do I not remember correctly?

But still, is a bit of derp for cool sword moment, lol.

The real question is, why does it matter when they use the sword at all? if we can look the other way when the bad guys can't shoot for shit in an Arnold movie, then we can look the other way when they leave the sword for last in PR. Also, Rule of Drama/Cool/Whatever.

Yeah, probably. But at least when fighting Leatherback they still had guns to use, and Raleigh's going to work with the weapons he knows are there. It's when the characters run out of ammunition and decide to pick up a boat that maybe, just maybe, Mako should've mentioned they had a sword they could use instead.

Because that's a terrible analogy? Seeing as Raleigh and Mako are the protagonists it's like Arnie not being able to shoot for shit. Imagine Commando building up how much of a badass Matrix is, then at the end he can't aim to save his life. People wouldn't be looking the other way, they'd be crying horseshit.

There is nothing in how the scene's put together that would make it less of a cool moment if the characters acted sensibly. They pull out their sword first, Otachi's too fast for them. Just when it looks like they might stab her, bam, she grabs them and flies off with them, restraining their sword arm. Oh shit. She's climbing fast. They vent the coolant, break free, "For my paper thin cliché racial stereotype backstorrryyyy!", slice her open, fall back.

Same scene. Same components. No sudden onset character retardation. Still a great "f**k yeah!" moment.

That's my problem. It doesn't even fit under rule of cool because the characters acting sensibly wouldn't actually make it any less cool.

What you must come to realize, like it or leave it, is that the logic or alternate logic behind these actions is almost a homage which hearkens back to countless scenes of ridiculous/f**k-all-love-it-or-leave-it deus ex machina from anime and and other children's action/adventure serials. Understanding the subtext and homage is key to appreciating. Abandon is the key to enjoying.

Yeh man. I validated that. I wasn't pointing anyone out specifically. But there is no denying that sometimes people's mind set keeps them from enjoying a film and "getting" where a film is coming from (purposeful storytelling gimmicks that seem illogical at face value). And if u don't know who they are then ur not one of us. And if ur not one of us ur one of them!  :P

They should flash forward it a decade or more. Have Newt be a mad scientist (working with a now deformed and monstrous Hannibal Chao) who opens a new portal in search of Kaijus. Maybe in an effort to drift with and control them for good or for ill.

Chaos ensues. Monster vs Monster action. Robot and Monster tag team matches. Robot/Monster hybrids.

Don't know if you guys have a TRU in your area, but you can usually get them cheapest there. 

And yes, the new kaiju are massive, as they should be.

Toys R Us had Series 1 One. That's where I got Knifehead on the cheap. I should have grabbed all the robots when I had the chance. They really went up (like stupid up) in price.

I never saw series 2 there (granted I only went once) however ... I ended up just buying Leatherback from Amazon.

Been casing Toys R Us's for Godzilla 2014 (and Pacific Rim) the last two or three weeks and turned up nothing for PR. But they do have NECA figures. Mostly a bunch of Prometheus (on clearance) and Predator/Dutch two packs (for still too much money.)

There are only 3 Kaiju that have been covered so far (not including the other 2 rehashed Knifehead figures).  Basically all the main Jaegers (that's 5 of them) have been done, not to mention 3 rehashes of GD, so far. 

They still have like 7 more screen used Kaiju that they need to dish out, so I kinda wish they'd cut it out with the rehashes and "concept" designs, and just get these damn kaiju out of the way already, lol.  There are only 2 or 3 more Jaegers that they can produce, that had brief screen presentations.
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: Bat Chain Puller on Mar 21, 2014, 05:10:40 PM
They have to do all the main Kaiju!

Raiju and Onibaba would have to be a completely new builds (and a risky ones economically) since none of the other Kaiju share the same bodies so they'd only be able to sell it once. (twice for battle damaged paint apts)

Same thing with Slattern ... though that is a pretty sure bet. The biggest, baddest Kaiju of them all. Would probably be a deluxe figure in the $50 range.

It did north of 400 million dollars globally and both the home video sales and the merchandise have way over-indexed, so it seems like fans really loved the world. So we're going to sit down with Guillermo and as long as we think it's authentic and there's something to say, we're certainly open to it.

Why the hell does everyone here seem to be just focused on those bloody toys? Seems to me like nobody cares about the movie but just the toys.

My view on the matter, for those who care-- wait, where'd everyone go?

Alright. The movie is flawed. There are elements to the plot that make no sense, the characters aren't all that developed, and it's not the smartest of blockbusters.

BUT. The reason this movie has so many devotees it that it feels like everyone involved really cared about making this movie, and making it fun. This is a movie that can have a closeup of a giant robot fist smashing through an office floor only to slow down just in time to hit a Newton's cradle without a hint of irony and without rolling its eyes. This is a movie that develops its universe to the point where fans can get lost in the mythology, and this is a movie that can depict an apocalyptic situation and still come across as optimistic. It's a dumb movie on one level, and a smart one on another, because it embraces what it is and has fun. That's why people love it and defend it to the death against criticism. Not because they think it's perfect, but because it speaks to them.

So some people don't like that. It's made for the people who do.

It's not like The Lone Ranger, where every silly moment lifted from the source is undercut by Tonto saying "don't do that again", making the filmmakers seem like they're trying to distance themselves from their movie. Nothing about Pacific Rim comes across as cynical on the part of the filmmakers.

If that's not for you, fine. But a lot of people do love the movie, and I feel like this is the reason why.

The whole premise of the movie is pretty dumb. All that technology goes into making giant robots when there are so many practical ways of taking down the Kaiju? And the alternative is a giant wall? lolwut?

Doesn't make the movie any less fun to me. I enjoy Pacific Rim immensely, in spite of (or perhaps because of) these things.

This figure betrays his chunkiness. He looked slimmer in the movie but that may have been due to the fact that he was underwater and the lighting didn't reveal much of his body.

That reminds me. Watching Striker vs. Slattern made me think that killing Slattern wouldn't have been all that difficult. After slicing him across the neck then under the arms, why not grab his noggin while he's weakened and deliver a few well-placed swipes across the neck? Problem solved.

It'd be underwater. One of the best possible natural mediums for shielding against radiation. You literally cannot irradiate water. You can swim in a tank of water meant for cooling rods and suffer no ill effects.

And if Slattern can survive a thermonuclear explosion (along with all the crushing water pressure it would have caused, depth charge-style), it should have been able to survive what ultimately killed it. Which, once again, shows the director had no interest, whatsoever, in even the slightest hint of realism. :)

Ultimately, if something can survive nukes, getting punched by a giant robot would be merely annoying by contrast.

This was my biggest issue with the film. I rolled my eyes when Slattern came back. It rendered the whole sacrifice and "Clearing a path for the lady" moot. They died for nothing. And then a hot thruster through the chest kills it? Bahahahah.

I would have rather Slattern been killed in the explosion and Gypsy just drug the filleted Raiju down into the portal without the senseless Jason moment.

I see it as getting rid of Scunner and wounding Slattern to the point where it could be fatally wounded by Gipsy's thruster. It certainly comes across better than a similar scene in Prometheus.

I see it as getting rid of Scunner and wounding Slattern to the point where it could be fatally wounded by Gipsy's thruster. It certainly comes across better than a similar scene in Prometheus.

I agree. Slattern survived but it clearly took a lot of damage from the explosion. It was wounded enough to get taken down by Gypsy by then.

It'd be underwater. One of the best possible natural mediums for shielding against radiation. You literally cannot irradiate water. You can swim in a tank of water meant for cooling rods and suffer no ill effects.
You absolutely can irradiate water. And there is so very much stuff in the water that can also be irradiated.

Well there you go. As ludicrous as building jaegers might be, it was the best option. Short of somehow building a gigantic missile launcher, like the one Striker Eureka had on her chest, all the way at the bottom of the ocean next to the rift whenever a kaiju would emerge.

No, you think? ::)
The movie completely coasts on the Rule of Cool. Citing "leaps of logic" as criticisms of the movie completely misses the movie's point. Would adhering to strict logic be cooler and more entertaining than giant monsters and giant robots wailing on each other? If the answer's "no", then it gets trumped by the Rule of Cool.

Pacific Rim is one of the biggest disappointments ever.

I couldn't care less about anyone or anything going on on the movie. and although It had some awesome shots and fights (but nothing mind blowing for me really.) the rest was beyond boring, and regarding the characters and plot, annoying. I had enough of the funny scientists after the first 10 seconds,  I had enough of Ron Perlman after 5 secons, Robert Kazinsky character was the most boring bully stereotype ever (and we are never told why he acts like that), the Russians and the Chinese don't even say a word in the whole movie, so they could be plastic manikins for all that matters.

The love arc by the two main characters is lame, and the only thing that had a minimum interest where Mako Mori's background and his relationship with Stacker.

Everyone and everything has stupid and idiotic names : Stacker Pentecost...Really? Cherno Alpha...seriously?  Stricker Eureka, Raleigh Becket etc...

Then, there are so many plot hole and nonsensical things going on that its painful to watch....

I had the impression that Del Toro and Co. spend 99,9% of the time with the designs and the cinematography and effects for the fights, and the rest of the time having a beer. After the beer they may have talked about the script, the plot and the characters, or maybe not.

It's the first G del T. Movie where I felt like with most of blockbusters nowadays, that the people behind it have no respect or regard for the viewer's intelligence.

Except Janek saved the world from being rebooted with the black goo. Shaw being pursued by the wounded Engineer was a minor inconvenience compared to the Apocalypse.  And by defeating him she only saved her own skin. As opposed to Gypsy STILL having to save the world after Stacker blew himself and his best friends son up needlessly.  :laugh:

I agree. Slattern survived but it clearly took a lot of damage from the explosion. It was wounded enough to get taken down by Gypsy by then.

He had what appeared to be 3rd degree burns from the blast. And he was handling those burns quite well considering instead of just writhing around in utter pain he still had the presence of mind and the strength to attack Gypsy Danger. But then a small concentration of flame is going to punch a hole in his chest?

It would be like if Tarkin survived the Death Star explosion and was later taken out by a lightsaber.

Okay ...  ;) an even worse alternative would have been Gypsy losing both pilots at the beginning of the film to Knifehead. Leaving no one to save Striker while the Double Event went unchallenged in Hong Kong.

I agree with KNIGHT; they should not have bothered with having Slattern come back for one last go.

The movie did such a tremendous job setting up this world and making you buy into the universe and it's logic. A hard sell for some people. So when after all that hard work they go and do something crazy 'easy' at the end ... it just feels 'cheap.'

Easy/Lazy.

Gypsy should have used all of it's reserves just to fall into the portal. Literally losing all motor control as it topples over the side with Raiju's corpse. As it's defenseless body descends, swarms of Kaiju are ascending past him and emerging into our world. One, after another, after another. It could be like the ending of Gamera 3. Just a mega shit storm of knifeheads breaching in the Pacific.

They pass Gypsy in the throat as he posses no threat. Just some wreckage. Meanwhile, inside Gypsy, all manner of Ripley/Nostromo self-destruct tension is taking place as dozens of Knifeheads break the surface of the ocean.

That's how you end a movie like Pacific Rim if you have balls.

Why swarms? It's the invasion army! Because it's a visually pleasing, plausible (with this film's logic), and an epic one-step-up from having seen a category 5 Kaiju. Seeing a Catagory 6 so soon after would have been  ::) but seeing an armada of these monsters would have been a perfect coda to the scene.

And they wouldn't attacked harmless wreckage. That would be like a squad of fighter jets deviating from their core mission, to attack an enemy fighter that already was shot down.

Not necessarily. Considering that nothing should be able to pass into the breach without being a kaiju, I imagine the leaders of that dimension should be wondering something akin to, "What the f**k is that thing and what's it doing here?"

Yes I believe this too. I mean Leatherback had a freaking EMP on it's back. They had a pretty good grasp on where the human technology was at. It stands to reason that Cat 5 Kaiju were built to resist our most potent explosives.

There was an anology earlier comparing Slattern's survival to someone surviving on board the exploding Death Star. Way out of proportion. It's more like a guy getting run over by a car and surviving, but being punched out cold afterwards because he's in a weakened state (Gipsy's thruster.)

But honestly, this movie's logic isn't supposed to be iron clad. I mean cmon it's robots versus monsters. The little logic they provide is supposed to be JUST enough to enjoy the main attraction. Nothing more. And that's not necessarily a bad thing. I don't think it is in this case. I think arguing about the logic in it is going to get nowhere.

Seriously how awesome will it be. Peeps saying 'its just a big expensive power rangers episode" like that is supposed to make me not watch it? Lawl,that sounds like something ill watch about 50 times.

You can have Ivan Ooze cameo with him selling pots of Kaiju Blue.

And in the movie,just when the Kaiju seems to be on the win. Guitar solo blars and boom, down they drop. audiences scream with excitement.

Sequel confirmed, sweet! As for this:

QuoteAnd not only that there are rumors circulating in various social networking sites that Pacific Rim 2 will take some cues from iconic Japanese mecha animes in that Pacific Rim 2 will have Jaegers that will be formed via "combining" similar to Voltron!

Yes. Eat them good.

And i know it's only a rumor, but even if they do the combining thing, I bet it won't be over the top Power Rangers stuff. It will be a nod towards Voltron, but it would likely be done in a smaller scale.

I can see the final fight being a throwdown between a bunch of Jaegers versus a big Cat 6 Kaiju, and a torn apart Gipsy picking up and attaching things from all the fallen Jaegers. Them now being built fully compatible with each other for such cases.

I think that sounds great  8)

At this point, you can pretty much throw together the most ridiculous things you've seen in any Japanese animation involving robots, minus tentacle-sex and it stands at least a 75% chance of somehow being an element in this sequel.

Right now, I'm thinking 'kaiju' blood resurrects a previously dead character, who will be shown riding around on the back of a new 'jaegar'/'kaiju' mechanoid hybrid. This will be explained by saying there was a by-product of genetic mutation, allowing said corpse to have grown gills (which sets him apart from his humaaaaanity, oh, nooo).

Meanwhile, the evil aliens of doom will have gone suspiciously quiet and it turns out this is because an even more evil bunch of aliens have slaughtered them (secretly, this is purely so that they can redesign stuff and have an entirely new line of toy merchandise for people to buy).

We assume they're the same as the old ones and we go to war, using the remnants of technology left behind by the other aliens, only for the twist in the tail to be revealed that the new aliens are actually good aliens the previous ones pissed off. And because of our dirty, evil, horrible human ways, we are dooooomed to always lust for war, clearly.

This will be as deep as the subtext gets. The rest of it will involve lots and lots and lots of rain-obscured CGI, which will later be found out to have been motion-captured from old Hulk Hogan wrestling matches.

Also, there will be an obligatory cute alien monkey thing who gets adopted and annoy the shit out of the audience. GDT will attempt to off-set this by giving it tentacles around its mouth and giving it a desire to randomly steal food in an awkwardly comical manner. GDT will declare this as "Jar Jar for a new generation" and fans will assume he just meant this as an allegory of praise to the Lucas of yesteryear, but it'll turn out he was being literal. The credits will roll and the little Godzuki-alike will reveal it has grown wings and is secretly a cloned spy for the original evil aliens, who will use it as a portable dimensional gateway and explode through it.

But I think the concept of 'naughty tentacles' needs to be explored at some point in Hollywood. Perhaps if Lars von Trier feels he needs to dip his toe in the Pacific Rim franchise we'll see some of that.

And it does make sense in terms of plot to get all other Jaeggers out of the picture except Gipsey.

The fact that is analog does not mean that the EMP is not gonna affect all electronic circuits.

Its like saying that an EMP will kill an Ipod or a CD player but not an electric vinyl record player...

True, but there are so many ways they could've got around it without sounding stupid. It doesn't even fit into "rule of cool": there's no reason they couldn't say "Since Gypsy is nuclear she's got EMP shielding in case of a surge" or anything like that. Takes the same amount of time, gets the same message across -- Gypsy's fine -- and gets around being dumb.

There is nothing in the film that says Gypsy doesn't have EMP shielding.

"It's allowed to be stupid because of its basic concept" like that makes sense.

I agree a little more information would have been nice but I figured the jaeger was not running at the time of the EMP blast so it survived, and being analogue meant nothing was fried because the digital jaegers are constantly running even while stationed in the shatterdome.

1. Godzilla has Heisenberg

2. Director is under fire

3. First Class only grossed 350 Mil with that original cast, one more star won't make or break it.

4. If Godzilla has positive word of mouth DoFP will suffer.

It does. We're going to accept that physics and such are going to be put aside so we can have a giant robot rocket-punch a giant monster in the face. We're going to accept that anyone, ever, would decide that building an unstable two-legged machine would be an effective combat weapon. We're going to accept a lot of really, really stupid ideas just on the premise alone. There's an inherent amount of suspension of disbelief we'll heap onto this movie because it is what it is.

But then it goes out of its way to be stupid in places where the premise doesn't cover, and that's what makes it dumb.

It's not stupid for having exaggerated physics, or a world where they chose to make giant robots with rocket punching arms. It's a colourful depiction of "good verses evil" in every sense of the word. The dialogue might not be amazing in parts but the story telling is in its visuals.

But some guy is trying to tell me we can actually literally do the neural bridge thing in real life and it's backed by science.

My bullshit senses are tingling.

Depends how it's done.

At no point did the movie show 'drifting' did anything which non-drifting co-pilots couldn't simply do without it. Having one as a gunner and the other taking charge of locomotion would have been a more plausible set-up and allowed for 'Last Starfighter'-style co-operation. Plus, made the robot things more like the walking tanks they should have been (and which the initial footage of the Australian one implied them as being), rather than metal wrestlers.

I fully comprehended the subtext of drifting. I really did. I could even buy some kind of hand-waved scientific explanation for a direct brain-link, because why not? I just think the writer(s) just plain forgot about it half the way through, in favour of unintentionally hilarious attempts at 'elbow-rocket' coolness, when it could have been a much more interesting sub-plot, if explored right.

Of which he did  :) we can argue about some of the logic, which as we stated earlier, is irrelevant to argue about when it comes to this type of movie, but no doubt Del Toro still took the genre to the next level. And Godzilla seems to be taking it to yet another level entirely. It's a good time for monster movies so rejoice  :P
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: SiL on Apr 29, 2014, 12:02:30 PM
The only thing Del Toro took to the next level with the genre is the budget and effects. There are plenty of giant mech vs. kaiju stories which aren't unapologetically retarded or content to just be popcorn filler, so that people insist on saying that a giant mech vs. kaiju movie is somehow supposed to be dumb either don't know much about the genre, or are talking out their arses.

Talking about the logic is entirely relevant. The audience is willing to accept a lot going into a story like this, but the writers have to give the audience a breather some time. Every single thing in the movie cannot hinge on the sentiment of "It's a giant robot movie, what do you expect?" That's just shitty writing.

Taking the genre to the next level would be making a movie with that budget and that scope and having it not meet everyone's expectation of "Dumb event picture where brains are best left at the door".

You can dance in a genre's tropes without winding up just being indicative of the worst the genre has to offer. Hell, this website is dedicated to a franchise born out of a movie that did just that.

Awesome GIF!

I thought of this the other night. When Scunner and Slattern were making a mad dash towards Striker at the end, couldn't she have done the same thing Gipsy did with her sword against Raiju? Granted, Striker's wrist blades weren't as long as Gipsy's swords so filleting may not have been possible but I'm just thinking about it in terms of plunging both blades into their heads. It probably would have killed them since they were swimming so fast.

Godzilla 2014 is at least 400 feet. Striker Eureka is around 300. Slattern wasn't that much larger than Striker, based on what we saw in the movie.

Actually, Godzilla 2014 is known to be 355 Feet, I believe, according to the production notes. Striker Eureka is 250 feet, and Slattern wasn't very much bigger than Striker, so Godzilla is much larger than Slattern.

Just want to remind everyone The Strain starts 7/13/14 on FX and Crimson Peak, which recently wrapped production, is due out October 2015 (just in time for Halloween).

Also, when Legendary asked for scripts after Pacific Rim del Toro sent them Mountains of Madness and his Western reinvention of The Count of Monte Cristo. I don't know if those have gone anywhere since then but those seem to be projects del Toro is ready to get off the ground.

It's an ultimately pointless comparison as they're very different kinds of movies.

No they are not, they are both Kaiju films.
The tone of each movie does not kick one movie out of the genre.

Pacific Rim is more of a Hollywood action blockbuster, while Godzilla more directly follows the franchise's formula. Seriously, this is no different than the stupid Avengers vs Dark Knight Rises dick measuring.

They both follow Kaiju Formulas. G follows Godzilla and PR follows Ultraman.
Kaiju films does not mean only Godzilla movies.
People trying to separate them are folks just afraid to say one was better than the other for some unknown reason.

Just because they both have giant monsters in each movie does not mean they're similar. They are very different in tone and theme.

I am not saying they are similar i am saying they are both of the same genre therefore can be compared.

If you are saying the tone different mean you cant compare it then that means you can compare between a bunch of Gojira movies because their tones are totally different. And this is just a silly idea.

Elaborate a bit because i dont think G2014 had any logic when it came to it's story. Stuff pretty much happened because they wanted it to happen. There was no attempt at even trying to hide the trips between setpieces.

It was more consistent because it didn't break its own rules. For example, in Pacific Rim, the kaiju blood is deemed to be toxic, yet Hannibal Chau emerges from the body of a kaiju looking right as rain. Also, the sword matter still irritates me. Gipsy just happened to forget she had a sword available to fight with until the last possible minute.

Yes, and it still sold well.

Godzilla '14 wasn't bad and that fact along with brand name power helped it sell tickets beyond it's first week. It just wasn't great. And most people seem to have this line of thought. Average reviews and all.

"After factor of the Kaiju blood creates a toxic phenomenon known as kaiju blue."

After factor. Ignoring the fact that this was a joke scene, it was baby so the potency of whatever stuff it has in it's blood probably isnt as hardcore, heck, we dont even know how toxic the adult one was, right? We dont even know what after factor means. Maybe it needs to come into contact with air for some time? Anyway, his crew figured out stuff that even Kauji scientist dont know. There's too little into on that sentence and what happens to him in a joke scene.

The sword is a trope for this type of stuff, man.
You seen Power Rangers, right? They only perform their special move at the end of the fight. Heck, Gojira pulls out his breath a couple of times in this last movie. One being the end of the fight. Plus the Jaeger have other weapons, the plasma canon and rocket punch.

None of that was breaking of anything.

I honestly love both movies but G'14 ain't all that. If you want to say G'14 is better than PR, that's fine I understand the differences in opinion. Say it's much better? That goes beyond opinion and is pretty unrealistic. But whatevs.

I'm just glad both are getting sequels. Big budget Kaiju movies are returni and selling well. It's the rebirth of an era, and that's pretty damn cool  ;D

Quote"Some people were wondering if we were going to do the prequel. I was never interested in doing that first wave of invasion," del Toro said. "I'm going for very new, very crazy ideas on the second one, which are very different from the first one — but you will get really great spectacle."

I wouldn't have minded a prequel. Think he'll still go with the Voltron-style idea?
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: Nightmare Asylum on Jun 08, 2014, 06:54:43 PM
If they had done the initial wave of monsters first, sure. But at this point the concept of a live-action prequel doesn't interest me all that much. I'm much more intrigued by del Toro's "new, very crazy ideas," whatever they may be.

That being said, I would kind of love to see del Toro oversee an anime anthology, along the lines of The Animatrix and Halo: Legends, that brings in some of the best talent from the medium to tell different stories, perhaps even the first attack, in a variety of different animation styles that no doubt inspired the film in the first place.

Originally is debatable, sure, but the film was far from an homage-fest. It was more of a love letter, a tribute sort of thing. Inspired by works of the past but still very much carving it's own identity.

I still think the Hellboy series needed a sequel more than this did (The Golden Army ended on a huge cliffhanger, while Pacific Rim ended pretty neatly), but with all the original talent coming back for this one I have no reason to complain. Hoping for this to be as insanely fun and well designed as the first :)

Anyone have any hopes for the animated series? 2D or 3D animation (or a combination of the two)? An anime style, or more Western animation?

As much as I too would prefer Hellboy 3, I don't think I'd want to see this sequel in different hands.

I would like Del Toro to be simply the producer, I was completely disappointed by his writing in the last movies, the plot was so bad, so aggresively stupid and patronizing not even his great direction saved the movie, IMO.

If he wants to write the movie, I'd be OK, but he should direct something else instead of losing his time doing another awful, lowbrow movie like Pacific Rim. I want his Dracula, his Frankenstein, The Mummy, or perhaps Hellboy III.

If he saw it that way, I'm sure he would. Unfortunately for you, it's something that he very much wants to do himself. Given how personal he considered the first one to be I really doubt that he considers working on the sequel to be "losing time."

Has Dracula or the Mummy ever been something he talked about doing? I know he said he'd like to do Frankenstein at some point, but it was never something that was actually on the table as far as I remember. And Hellboy 3 is kind of beyond his control.

I agree that I'd rather have Hellboy 3 and Pacific Rim 2 (like I said earlier, the Hellboy series is practically screaming for one more film while Pacific Rim's ending was conclusive enough to be just that... an ending), but if that's not going to be able to happen and Pacific Rim is a very tangible thing being made by the same group that did the first one then I am certainly excited for it.

Yeah, I know. He for sure loves his "child" franchise and wants to keep on with it, but seriously come on... It really felt like Genndy Tartakovsky's Sym-Bionic Titan...

Yeah, I remember Universal Studios wanted him to remake all their classic movies (Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy and Creature of the Black Lagoon, I guess).

Something's gotta give. Ron Perlman isn't getting any younger and Del Toro is all the closer to a massive heart attack because he eats too much. They just have to ask themselves which franchise would benefit the most from having Del Toro at the helm.

I feel like if in ten years we look back to a completed Del Toro Hellboy trilogy and a Pacific Rim 2 directed by 'the next guy' we could consider ourselves lucky.

The next best thing would be someone else directing Hellboy 3 (but how awkward!) and a Del Toro directed Pacific Rim 2.

But if they don't start thinking ahead and making some decisions we'll wind up with a re-casted Hellboy in Hellboy 3 or nothing at all.

Haha, slick.

But seriously, I want a Godzilla reference this time around!

I think the theater would literally explode if they were to show Godzilla coming out of the water in the after credits scene.

I didn't mean it like that. Something more subtle, in passing.

Yeah I know. I just escalated.

Finally sitting down and watching the commentary to this. Really great stuff, as expected.

Anyways, this just hit me. Anyone else hoping and/or expecting to see the Precursors and the Anteverse get expanded on in the sequel? While I was expecting something much more Lovecraftian prior to going into the film, watching the movie made me realized that that sort of aesthetic really wouldn't have worked with what del Toro was going for in this film and I wound up absolutely loving the final look of the aliens and their world despite only really getting to see it in brief glimpses. I think that a sequel should definitely delve into that world more than the first one did, and perhaps even take the fight into the Anteverse. As fun as robots vs monsters in cities was in the first film, there's no way that the sequel is just going to be a retread of that. There is so much potential for unique visual and narrative exploration on the other side of the Breach. Could the Precursors feel more like characters this time around? There should definitely still be mystery surrounding them, but I don't think fleshing them out would be a bad thing at all. And they have an extremely interesting look to them that could provide a fun contrast to the much larger scale monster/robot action.

I hope Canada gets a jaeger this time. A great way to introduce that would be fighting Kaiju among the polar ice caps, slamming and crashing eachother into them. Mexico should get one too. I know Del Toro wanted to add them as two brothers who are released from prison to fight for their freedom.

Yup, agreed wholeheartedly with this.

I would love to see a Hellboy 3 happen more than just about anything, but since it's unfortunately not going to happen any time soon I'm just glad to see Guillermo consistently making films again. Even his worst is far from bad, and you can see his heart in every frame of everything he's done. Crimson Peak is one of my most anticipated movies next year (in my top three, alongside Chappie and the new Star Wars--though I'm trying to remain cautiously optimistic about the latter), and I'm brimming with excitement about the upcoming The Strain television series.

Actually, that brings up a good question. At first monsters were coming through the breach much less frequently, and never more than one at a time. I wonder how the show is going to approach that, since it kind of limits the scale of the spectacle in certain ways.

My guess/ what I would want to see, is in the beginning of the show we see the glory days, when the Jaegars far outclassed the Kaiju and, to quote the beginning of the movie, "We got good". Then, as the show progresses, we slowly get the bigger, more dangerous Kaiju, and get to see the downfall of the Jaegar program that led up to the film.

Would also love to see Yamarashi, since the battle with it that I guess happened in the novel sounds really cool. http://pacificrim.wikia.com/wiki/Yamarashi (http://pacificrim.wikia.com/wiki/Yamarashi)

BUT THEN THE MONSTROUS GENRE SUCCESS THAT WAS GODZILLA HAPPENED, and now Legendary is hoping that will bolster the PR franchise, giving it a animated series a comic book to assist with that. Legendary is reportedly looking in to more Big Budget monster franchises as well.

It's not only the Godzilla factor, it's also a factor of brand recognition; PR is now a recognized brand that Legendary/Universal feel confident enough to expand upon. Statistically speaking theirs less calculated risk the second time around based on how the American public consume more sequels and remakes per capita than new IP's.

The American public is not familiar with that Pacific Rim brand. The opening weekend was poor, and it had no box office legs the rest of the way to signify any interest was generating.

That's why I'm assuming they're gonna fast track that series and comic to try to engender at least a tiny bit of recognition b4 Pacific Rim 2 . cuz if no one in 'Murcia saw Pacific Rim, they ain't gonna be enticed to see Pacific Rim 2 unless something creates some noise.

In the states, I can agree that it was a slow burner to make it's money back. However DVD/Blu-ray sales as well as merchandise generated enough revenue to give the company confidence in a sequel. And as Giullermo said, the franchise's focus isn't solely on USA, it's international. I'm sure that international sales mean more to them, since most revenue came from China. Yet, the gamble is that this second time around USA may respond better due to brand recognition. I'm also sure the cartoon is meant to rear in younger audiences on PR recognition in hopes of boosting sales when the sequel comes around.
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: Aspie on Jul 04, 2014, 03:51:19 PM
Although money is money, Domestic Box office is always the most important when it comes to deciding whether or not to green light a sequel, because chunks of that revenue don't get deducted from the gross due to foreign taxes. China is the prime example for that  :P


And since China was the sole reason Pacific Rim wasn't a John Carter sized flop, I'm sure we'll be seeing more focus on them as opposed to the U.S. this time around. Meaning even less interest for the U.S.  :P

A lot of the regular movie goers I talked to before Pacific Rim's release had no idea there were monsters in it and their opinion was that it was a transformers knockoff via battleship. (and a lot of this was from people who had seen neither of those films.)

The word got out though and pulled off cult status in a relatively short time. I blame the advertising campaign. They had no idea what they had or how to sell it.

Now that Godzilla kicked down the door for the general public in seeing giant monster flicks have a place among superheros and obnoxious comedies at the theater it should be a cake walk for Pac2.

I still can't figure out what Aspie thought of this movie.  Did he love it or did he just like it a lot?

I think it's somewhere in the middle.

Showa Gamera has the funniest origin: "Gamera is a member of a race of giant turtle who lived on the continent of Atlantis- yes it exists, didn't you know that? Shut up and listen to my theory!"

I'd rather stick with the original story. It has the most amount of mystique to it.

The Heisei Godzilla origin is so convoluted and stupid... radiation basically works like lightning in Frankenweenie where everything it hits becomes bigger and meaner. And the time travel...

Meanwhile the guys behind Heisei Gamera managed to take a few scant lines from the original film and fleshed out an entire backstory that makes a giant flying turtle seem genuinely cool and believable.

QuoteShock: Is Pacific Rim 2 only happening because Legendary moved to Universal?

Del Toro: No, when we finished the first one, we said, "Well, we could go here or there."  At some point, Thomas [Tull] and I met and we said, "You know what, it took such an effort to create the world, we would like to continue." When Legendary moved, they moved with that property. Thomas took it with him, so it's a fortunate coincidence of events but we started talking about it before they made the move.

Shock: Do you know if Warner Bros. would have passed?

Del Toro: I have no idea. That's complete speculation.

Shock: Are you going to go to the Kaiju world in the sequel?

Del Toro: I will not answer that. I take the fifth.

Shock: But I'm asking the right questions?

Del Toro: You're asking the right questions but not necessarily the way you think. If you think are we invading their world, we're not, but we're showing more of that world.

Just...That just completely nullifies everything that happened in the first movie.

Humans: "Oh, hey, we're on the brink of extinction. Let's send a nuke in and blast the opening closed."

Aliens: "Nope 'nother portal. LAWL."

Really kinda trivializes the first film. They'd be better off doing a prequel.

How sturdy is it Doom? I heard lots of stories about it falling apart. Jaws and tail popping off. Legs popping of and not going back on. LEDs not lighting up due to broken/twisted wires.

All the talk made me hesitate on pulling the trigger.
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: DoomRulz on Jul 27, 2014, 12:20:36 AM
Yes, the tail and jaw rumours are true. Both of them popped on me when I went to adjust them.

However.

After some gentle wrestling, I was able to get the jaw to go back into place, but I think that's it is not supposed to close and is perpetually open. Unless there is an image of one somewhere with the jaw closed, it's supposed to be like that. The tail is equally finicky. It can only bend a few millimetres before popping into three pieces. It's annoying. If you look my video posted above, you'll notice that it looks stiff. That's because it kind of has to be, otherwise, well, like I said.

Finally watched this tonight. I enjoyed it. I can't say that I had expectations going in 1 way or the other but it was a very entertaining movie. I was concerned about it's length, but it didn't feel as long as it actually is. I liked it's style. Given all of the backstory that was required however, I feel like this could have been the sequel! The 5 minute recap at the beginning could easily have been it's own movie. Also, i'm not familiar w/ the game or any of the source material, so how exactly is there room for a sequel given how this film ended?

I believe Jaegers combing like Voltron/GoLion was just a rumor.

But del Toro has talked briefly about Jaeger/Kaiju hybrids and a new Gipsy Danger. The sequel is meant to focus more on the science of drifting as well.

I'm pretty sure even del Toro understands that jaegars combining would look really stupid. This isn't like Devastator in RotF, who while looked stupid, at least made a little more sense because it was smaller vehicles coming together rather than giant robots.

Well, even if they wanted to do that, it wouldn't have to be full-sized, humanoid Jaegers doing the combining.

They've only done one concept figure (Axehead) and the new Gipsys and Knifeheads are big improvements over the first releases.

Some nice speculation -

Damn! Thought that Neca chart was the real deal, then noticed the "wishlist" part :'(

True that they've only done a single concept figure so far. Why waste time on something that didn't make it to the screen, when Raiju, Slattern and a few others that did still don't have releases? If Neca had taken the time to get Knifehead and various Jaegers right the first time, they'd have no excuse for double dipping either.

QuoteGuillermo del Toro isn't thinking small with the follow-up to his 2013 Kaiju movie Pacific Rim — in fact, he's thinking so big that one movie won't be enough for what he's got planned.

QuoteFirst off, here's what del Toro had to say about the Pacific Rim 2 timeline:

"It's a few years after the first one.  It's not an immediate follow-up.  It is the world having been freed of Kaiju, what happens to the world after – what happens to the Jaeger technology once the Kaiju are not a threat.  It's quite a jump."

Here's what del Toro said when asked about Day and Gorman and if we'll get more science in the second film:

"Yes.  It's quite a different movie from the first one in that, but I think that two of our main characters like in the first one are Burn and Charlie.  They are really, really – I mean, honestly, they are probably the guys I have the most fun writing along with Hannibal Chau so just from a purely selfish drive, I like writing them.  I love writing for Charlie and Burn.  I mean, [Burn's] in Crimson Peak for that reason, because I love working with him.  You're gonna get a lot of that, but the Kaijus are very different and you're gonna see a very different type of the robots I think.  It's gonna be quite a different adventure."

Design-wise Slattern is different enough from the rest to be interpreted as the final boss. It's really imposing from the front while Trespasser/ Axehead can only be showcased from the side and the final underwater battle doesn't lend itself to that. All Trespasser is there to do really is set up the basic template of "big head, lots of arms."

Top 3 Kaiju:

1) Karloff (fave and would've been my pick for category 5; dat face)
2) Otachii (arguably the fan-fave and having the most "personality")
3) Leatherback (Slattern comes in very close to 3rd for design alone, but dat emp and Leatherback's ape-like movements really sold me)

Karloff because design - awesomely detailed head/face and provocatively vaginated chest (very reminiscent of monsters from Japanese anime I love); Raiju is ok (don't see why people would love him/her or hate him/her) but ultimately quick and easy canon-fodder.

It seems Omega saw some of that early concept art before the movie came out and latched onto the idea of a big, simple crocodile monster (the kind he likes) appearing in the movie, and then when the final design didn't match up to that he was disappointed.

A big part of what makes a monster cool is how it's put together and how it functions. Raiju looks perfectly fine until his head splits open and reveals that hideously retarded unborn foals yammering jar jar mug.

Seemed like a concept that would have been scrapped. Like one of those early Godzilla 2014 concepts or the double jawed or fat and decomposing Smaug concepts that thankfully were abandoned.

Raiju is clown shoes and doesn't fit at all with any of the other Kaiju.

But he can't bring down the film.

The notion of a splitting crocodile head is completely fine. In the same film, Onibaba's head splits apart with some nice inner jaw parts that resemble clockwork in a way. The notion and the execution work. Raiju opens the head shell and here's this utterly hideous skinned were-gerbil-foal inner head that looks dumb with its mouth closed, and even dumber when it opens (like it wants to impress, but fails completely). Nothing about it feels massive, threatening or remotely interesting. As a final touch, the upper head-shell parts fold back and assume a position that makes them look like huge ears. It is a terrible juxtaposition with the rest of the thing.

Basically all the concept Raijus look better than final Raiju as far as I am concerned. For example:

It's a kaiju. Of course it's going to look hideous. Considering it ripped Gipsy's arm off and essentially crippled her, I'd say he was pretty threatening.

But wouldn't a face that needs armored protection look a little vulnerable and awkward? It's just supposed to be a freaky little moment. Most of the kaiju in the movie have their surprises (especially Otachi), this seems to fall in line with that.

I don't know, it looked pretty massive when Gipsy sliced it in half. It's just odd how a character that goes by so quickly (literally, it's the fastest monster in the movie) could get to you that much.

The problem with this is that's a little too alien in that it lacks a definite face. Like you said it's obvious del Toro was going for faces in his kaiju, even in the weirder ones like Onibaba and Mutavore/ Bladehead.

Ripping Gipsy's arm off is literally the only thing it ever did before being halved. Regardless, there's a difference between a visual aspect and a storyline-dependent aspect. I can have giant rabbits eat people, they won't look any more threatening because of that; that's why Night of the Lepus isn't an excellent horror film.

It can look vulnerable, but not necessarily stupid as all shit. There were a lot of possibilities when it came to portraying what was inside the outer head-shell.

I'm like that. ;D

But it does seem to be a paradox that such a wonderful creative team (with some top notch creature designers directed by Del Toro) would come up with such a sub-par design. Obviously it does not even register as a defect of the film.

It's basically a reverse, elongated Otachi head -- only that it's the upper jaw that splits apart. I would say it would have worked wonders in the film (certainly more than what it ended up with).

Even though Q (The Winged Serpent) came out in 1982 my memory puts in squarely in the 70s.  :laugh:

If the monsters kept getting bigger and had different attack methods they needed different machines.

What if there's multiverses besides the Antiverse where other alien monstrosities await? You can go in any direction possible after the first one. I have faith Beechum and del Toro will make the most of their sandbox and raise the bar once again in Pac Rim 2.

QuoteWith Gipsy Danger, Striker Eureka, and Cherno Alpha receiving the 18" treatment, it only makes sense to see an 18" Crimson Typhoon at some point down the line. While NECA has yet to say anything on the subject, I would imagine that an 18" Crimson is at the very least currently under consideration, which, like the 18" Striker Eureka, might provide a basis as to what the 7" Crimson Typhoon 2.0 will be like.

OMG, PLEASE RANDY. MAKE IT HAPPEN. Seriously, this thing would look AMAZING if it has LED lights and fully poseable arms. Can you imagine seeing it in the Thundercloud Formation??

QuoteFirst spotted in a video back in December, the winged Otachi was brought up in an interview with Randy Falk at Toy Fair, where Randy explained more about the figure. In addition to the massive (and translucent) wings, staying true to the film, the figure will also have a bloody stump where the tail was severed, as well as a new mouth piece to show where Gipsy Danger had ripped the acid sac out. The figure will be compatible with the regular Otachi, with the tail and stump being interchangeable, as well as the mouth pieces. With this, one can create the "ultimate Otachi" with wings and tail, as seen in the video game. Lastly, the figure will include a clear stand in which Jaegers can be connected to in order to simulate Otachi flying away with a Jaeger in tow. This figure is expected to be officially revealed very soon.

So wait, is it an entirely new figure, or are they just add on parts for the one that's already out there? Either way, given how big the current version is, one with wings might as well be classified as a mini-me 18" figure.

This. Different kaiju require different methods of attack.

that's a good argument for having variety, but it doesn't mean that having multiples of some jaeger designs is a bad idea.

Well you did see the Thundercloud formation which was pretty awesome and overall I'd say Typhoon held in there pretty well against Otachi until the tail whack. They just didn't see it coming. As for Cherno, they'd likely never seen an acid attack before so they weren't expecting it.

The point of the movie was that the Jeager program was dead and they were cobbling up together whatever they had against an increasingly stronger group of Kaiju. Striker Eureka was the only last generation Jeager in that whole group, right? Cherno Alpha was gen 1.

So there is an actual story explanation.

I don't deny that there's reason for them being destroyed in the manner they were and at the time they were destroyed, just that there's scant visual evidence of their badassery prior to their destruction (with the exception of the Australian team who- if I remember correctly- are shown destroying a Kaiju in a previous attack). I would have liked to have seen more backstory to these lumbering metal monsters so that when they were dispatched with quite so easily by a greater foe it came as more of a shock.

The big three military powers (Russia, China and U.S) all have the last remaining Jaegers. And then you have little Australia with the most advanced Jaeger! How did we manage that with our tiny military and defence budget? Always found that kind of funny along with the terrible fake Aussie accents.

I guess they figure ... with King Kong entering the fold they don't need to be spending any extra money on Giant Monsters. Especially ones who aren't bonafide money makers. The same basic ideas and premises will likely be explored in the continuing Godzilla franchise anyway.

But you can never have enough giant monster flicks.
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: Alien³ on Sep 18, 2015, 06:54:00 PM
I think what made Pacific Rim stand out above the other monster flicks was how fragile the jaegers and monsters were. They couldn't withstand too much damage (aside from the Cat 5 obviously) which made it tense whenever a fight broke out.

QuoteBut at least one person thinks the Pacific Rim sequel is still happening. "We are still turning in a screenplay and a budget in three weeks," writer-director Guillermo Del Toro tells EW. "As far as I'm concerned, it's not gone. We're still on it."

Del Toro says the film's delay is only temporary. "It moved further," he says. "I may do another movie in the middle."

Del Toro is no stranger to long-delayed passion-project blockbusters. "I can tell you this, if I was a billionaire, I would definitely do Hellboy 3, Pacific Rim 2, and At the Mountains of Madness." He laughs. "And I would quickly become a millionaire."
http://www.ew.com/article/2015/09/17/pacific-rim-2-guillermo-del-toro

QuoteLast summer, Legendary and del Toro surprised fans by announcing the film would be getting a sequel, an animated series, and a comic book continuation as well. Of the three, the comic book, Pacific Rim: Tales from the Drift, will debut this November.

QuoteThough he's deep in promotion for "Crimson Peak," del Toro says his next film will be a small, independently financed movie that he is keeping under tight wraps. Though it was rumored that a sequel to "Pacific Rim" was halted, such reports seem premature.

"As far as I'm concerned, it's not cancelled, just postponed," del Toro says. "Right now, we have to put a budget and screenplay together, present it to Universal and Legendary, and they will make a decision." Echoes Jashni: "The movie continues to be in development, and we're still working on it with him."
http://variety.com/2015/film/news/guillermo-del-toro-crimson-peak-monsters-1201603998/

Quote"Legendary's 'Pacific Rim 2,' originally scheduled for release on August 4, 2017, will be redated at a later time," it reads. "The filmmakers, Legendary and Universal Pictures are committed to having 'Pacific Rim 2,' the sequel to 2013's 'Pacific Rim,' which generated more $411 million at the global box office, be the vanguard, fully-immersive experience that the franchise deserves. To this end, the decision was made to delay the production and release of 'Pacific Rim' so that the creative team can continue in its efforts to exceed the amazing experience of the first film."

I would love to see some Elder God stuff; we know that the Kaiju are extremely ancient since they tried to invade during the time of the dinosaurs.  Maybe they have an entire inter-dimensional empire where they are attacking other realities as well.  Beyond movies, this could make for an awesome cartoon series.

That would cut into the main story of the kaiju war. Heck you could probably dedicate an entire movie to that.

I was thinking if we want kind of mind-blowing they could reveal at the end something like, these beings have invaded countless other Earths in parallel universes/multiverses(something like that) and this Earth is the first one to put up this much of a fight. I don't know how that sounds to the rest of ya just thought I'd share that thought.

I loved it when I watched it at the theater with my brother, unfortunatly when I watched it on Blu-ray I found my myself rolling my eyes every few minutes due to the acting and dialogue. I don't know why it didn't bother me before but watching anything other than the action scenes is difficult for me. Still miles better than the transformers movies though.

It's been PC for a while, all of those tee shirt companies had a slew of offerings, NECA has released wave after wave of toys, people are really into it.

Del Toro is almost always busy with many parallel projects. He said a while ago he was doing a low budget horror film called "Silva", and he was also in talks for directing a remake of "Fantastic Voyage". That's most likely the case.

I know originally it was Toro and Penn working on the script. Then it sounded like this new script by Spaihts had Toro co-write it or at least helped a bit.

besides that he is very ugly and not manly, there is nothing on him like charm or charisma.
Idris Elba has it, Denzel has it but casting Boyega can really ruin a movie.

You know this really irritates me. I feel like this is a slap in the face to people who watched the first movie and grew to like Charlie and Rinko. What, after all that he just up and leaves and doesn't come back? Also, Idris Elba having a son really kind of casts shadow into his character being a bit of scumbag. In the first movie he raised Rinko like she was his only child, and yet he has a son that is mysteriously out of the picture nobody bothered to mention?

This is like if after the first Star Wars movie Luke is suddenly absent in Empire Strikes Back, and Leia hooks up with Han Solo's mysterious son never mentioned.

'Kaiju' and 'tokusatsu' have come to reference Japanese giant monster and special effects films much in the same way manga and anime are used in reference to Japanese comics and animation. It's not a big deal.

No, im saying that kaiju movies dont have the most developed characters when it comes to film. Most are pretty generic there just to play a specific role and little else.

I hated the two scientist, like everyone else does, but when you get passed the stupidness they achieved what their characters where there for.

I can never tell on these threads if there are people who genuinely like a film despite its flaws because that's all people seem to discuss are the flaws.

I HONESTLY AND GENUINELY LOVED G14 & PACIFIC RIM.

Godzilla was a wonderful tribute to the Japanese King of the Monsters franchise while Pacific Rim was the perfect summer movie of giant robots fighting giant monsters that my younger self would have loved to grow up with alongside Godzilla.

I'm going to throw it out there that if you go to see giant monster smash-em-ups for the human character development, I'd venture to say you're in the wrong theater pal. With these movies, the monsters are just as much characters as the actors.

Godzilla was a wonderful tribute to the Japanese King of the Monsters franchise while Pacific Rim was the perfect summer movie of giant robots fighting giant monsters that my younger self would have loved to grow up with alongside Godzilla.

I'm going to throw it out there that if you go to see giant monster smash-em-ups for the human character development, I'd venture to say you're in the wrong theater pal. With these movies, the monsters are just as much characters as the actors.

There are definitely kaiju/monster movies with compelling human drama, or at least drama that doesn't feel removed from the monster action, but I think some are trying to say you can still enjoy and appreciate a movie even if it's flawed in places.

I loved Pacific Rim because it's the first big budget Hollywood movie to full embrace how outlandish and fantastical tokusatsu movies can be without being cynical or ironic about it. I never thought I'd see a movie like that, and it's all thanks to Guillermo del Toro.

I enjoyed the 2014 Godzilla for similar reasons... I never thought I'd see an American films 'get' Godzilla as much as that it did. I wish it was the American Godzilla that came out when I was a kid. And in areas where I felt the movie faltered (focusing on Godzilla, showing him and his powers/abilities off, etc.), Toho's Shin Godzilla has in spades (Godzilla in broad daylight! Beams everywhere!). So I can still rely on the Japanese films to deliver the goods.

The best Godzilla films have always been the one with great characters and development I think for me. Gojira, Godzilla Vs. King Kong, Godzilla Vs. Mothra, Ghidorah, Astro Monster, Sea Monster, Son Of Godzilla, Godzilla Vs. Hedorah, the two MechaGodzilla films, The Return Of Godzilla, Godzilla Vs. Biollante, Godzilla 2000, GMK, Shin Godzilla even Raids Again to a much lesser extant all had fantastic characters I even say the characters in Gigan are also good or at least great for the roles they are supposed to play.

If it was just monsters fighting I probably wouldn't watch them much less be a fan. it's the same problem the IDW comics have ran into and a lot of literature based stuff for this franchise has run into is that they think they NEED to have over the top monster action and appearances galore and don't focus on what really matters at times.

With respect, best is subjective. My favorite films are the Heisei era films because of the way Godzilla was depicted: a living, walking, nuclear reactor that's unstoppable yet defeatable but utterly unkillable. And I do love the special effects, even if Godzilla defeated literally every monster with his atomic breath... probably the only downside IMO. The human characters are pretty good in most films, especially Megumi Odaka's Miki Saegusa as one of the main consistent characters throughout.

While I agree a lot of the Showa films are absolute blasts and some are campy as campy gets, I think some of the "worst" of the series had some of the most interesting characters and character moments. Godzilla vs the Sea Monster comes to mind as just such a film.

I agree, any Godzilla film devoid of human characters would be very difficult to make a full feature film. Usually the human characters add humor, shed light on a mystery or help to develop weaponry to defeat Godzilla and/or his foes. I stand by the idea that although needed, they are not the primary focus on a Godzilla film. The scenes with people further the plot and are great time fillers until Godzilla shows up! :)

Ironically I find them to be my least favorite films after Biollante until Destroyah  :laugh:.

Mainly this revolves around the terrible continuity, the very mediocre effects especially the flying effects which is very problematic when you realize every film after Ghidorah had a flying monster which I mean of course creating a Flying effect is incredibly hard, but surely Katawaka could have found someone to do it because the effects look sometimes worse than those in Godzilla Vs. Gigan.

That and the fact I found all the human characters to be exceptionally bland especially Miki which I always found to be incredibly disappointing as there was SO much that could have been done with the character. and instead all she does is pop up in a few scenes say like 2 lines, put her fingers on her head and that's it until SpaceGodzilla and Destroyah where they decided to give her something. that and the fights were very boring and did they need to make everyone fat? :laugh:

Actually, I would find the only Godzilla films to be campy are Gigan and Megalon. the rest are generally light-hearted affair even than the films were serious when they needed to be, think of them like the MCU Universe's tone which is also funny because the Showa universe is the original Cinematic universe I mean seriously think about it Ghidorah is the Avengers.

I do agree the beginning of the Heisei era and the end were the strongest entries. 3 of my favorite films are Return, Biollante and Destroyah. The story gets muddled with Ghidorah but I will say if you don't think too hard about it and just pretend that the Godzilla post time travel is actually the same creature from 54, returned in 84 and battled with Biollante, it's fine. Otherwise, yeah it's a big headache. That's why I never cared for time travel in films. The flying could have been much better but instead we get more gliding. Never bothered me much, I was always enthralled with the fact that the old Showa monsters were redesigned and actually in the newer films!

I guess my version of campy is light-hearted, goofy and more kid-centered. I would argue the films in the Showa era, minus 54, Mothra, Gigan, Mecha and Terror, were all "campy" or not serious in tone. Not to say I don't enjoy them.

I think people should keep in mind the Godzilla films from the original to Destroy All Monsters were made more or less with general audiences in mind, it wasn't until after this the original series became targeted directly to kids. Kids are still a big audience for giant monsters and superheroes like Ultraman.

Pacific Rim totally gets this and is a wonderful escapist film for young people. I roll my eyes when Michael Bay says, 'I make movies for teenage boys. Oh, dear, what a crime.' Pac Rim is everything the live action Transformers should be.

Actually, it's not complicated at all most incarnations of Godzilla such as both Showa Godzillas the 54 and the 55-75 Gojis, Millenium Gojis and the Comic and Video Game versions all share the same origin as being a Giant Species of Aquatic Reptile that have always been like that with the Atomic Bomb only irradiating them thus giving them Atomic Breath and in the case of 54 scarring him something terrible.

Heisei shook things up by having in it's continuity the second Godzilla that all continuities follow (Excluding GMK) by having him be a irradiated Dinosaur the 54 Godzilla in that continuity is still the same.

As the Futurians said the Second Godzilla always would have been created had he stayed on the Island as he originally did he still would have been mutated and been the same Godzilla, all they managed to do is delay his transformation by a few decades.

Right but... the delay in transformation means that Godzilla never attacked Japan in 54. So we can't ignore the fact that if he never came about in 54, he never attacked Japan in 84, thus no Anti-Nuclear Energy Bacteria and the creation of Biollante and eventually Space Godzilla, all relevant to the Heisei film continuity. They effectively rewrote the origin story in vs. Ghidorah which has a direct impact on all events prior and going forward in the timeline yet they failed to either flush out the details properly or simply continued on as though nothing happened.

This is why I say if you ignore the time travel paradox, then you still have a functioning timeline as per the story.

QuoteRight but... the delay in transformation means that Godzilla never attacked Japan in 54.
Didn't you read what I said? The Heisei Godzilla is a Second Godzilla not the Godzilla that attacked in 1954 and is simply another version of the Second Godzilla that appears in a Toho Universe Continuity after 1954. the 1954 Godzilla along with most continuities version of the origin for the Second Godzilla which is THE Godzilla is that they are a giant underwater Species of Land to Water Reptiles that have always been as big as they are. and the only thing the Atomic Bomb did was drive the Godzilla both the 54 and The Godzilla out of hiding, irradiate him and scar him in the case of 54, the 54 Godzilla's origin has never been changed regardless of the Continuity.

In each case the 54 Godzilla gets driven out of his habitat by the Bomb attacks Japan and is killed by the The Oxygen Destroyer with a few exceptions in the case of a few films which are G2000, GMK and GVM. the Heisei continuity shook things up by having The Godzilla which is the second not be the same species as the 54 version but instead a Dinosaur originally he was supposed to have remained on the Island and there he would have been Mutated by the Bomb into Godzilla and than he would have swam to the Island we saw him at in Return Of Godzilla's Opening. instead the Futurians teleported him to a remote part of the ocean where a Russian Submarine in the 70s was lost and the Dinosaur absorbed the Radiation transformed into Godzilla and than swam to the Island In ROG.

basically speaking the Futurians changed nothing.

It also doesn't help that I the Godzilla 1985 Raymond Burr version stuck in my head (because I had  the VHS growing up) so it was always "30 years ago we never found any corpse" that messed me up.

Well Pentecost was a very hardened vet and there would be no reason for him to open up to anyone in the first movie.  His demeanor was fairly clear on what he wanted to do...defeat the Kaiju threat. So I'm guessing when he first became a pilot, he was gone so much that his family moved on without him.  Raising Mako could be him to trying to make up for not being there for his family and raising his son.

That would be a good way to approach this without making his character seem unlikable. Or perhaps, he and his son never met due to being separated or put up for adoption.

There it is! Wonder if they'll keep the helmet design pretty similar. Also, I do wonder if they'll rebuild Gypsy or go with a totally new robot.

There was also another shot of Boyega in the full Jaeger Pilot suit, if you can dredge that up. Looks good.

You mean replicate. ;)  Personally, I'd like to see other Jaegers so I hope they don't recycle Gipsy's design.

They go from 40 to 60. I think PR will likely end up on the 60 side because they will likely include extras. Special attack mode, etc, etc.

Post by: Mr. Xenomorph on Jul 20, 2017, 08:01:28 PM
^^My first reaction was: What the hell did they do to Pacific Rim?! After I watched it again, I think I see what they're doing here. In the first one, the Jaegers fighting the Kaiju basically became a joke. They were making toys, making fun of the Kaiju on late night TV shows - it had all become a gag. Then it wasn't funny anymore, because the Kaiju kept coming and getting stronger and more powerful. Fiercer. Now...imagine a world with just Jaegers and, for the moment anyway, no Kaiju. They'll get overconfident, too complacent, arrogant, and it will become a gag again...then all hell breaks loose again. I think it has a ton of potential still. We'll see what happens when they have more trailers, but I think it makes sense. History repeats itself.

So trailer is tomorrow and a lot of things have been shown off today and yesterday. I'll put them in spoilers just in case.
First we got a plot synopsis, some gifs teasing kaiju, and some Bandai merch.

Spoiler
John Boyega (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) stars as the rebellious Jake Pentecost, a once-promising Jaeger pilot whose legendary father gave his life to secure humanity's victory against the monstrous "Kaiju." Jake has since abandoned his training only to become caught up in a criminal underworld. But when an even more unstoppable threat is unleashed to tear through our cities and bring the world to its knees, he is given one last chance to live up to his father's legacy by his estranged sister, Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi)—who is leading a brave new generation of pilots that have grown up in the shadow of war. As they seek justice for the fallen, their only hope is to unite together in a global uprising against the forces of extinction.

Jake is joined by gifted rival pilot Lambert (The Fate Of The Furious' Scott Eastwood) and 15-year-old Jaeger hacker Amara (newcomer Cailee Spaeny), as the heroes of the PPDC become the only family he has left. Rising up to become the most powerful defense force to ever walk the earth, they will set course for a spectacular all-new adventure on a towering scale.

Don't know if I'm a fan of these guys or not, doesn't seem to mesh well with the other kaiju but maybe when I see it in motion I'll have my mind changed...

It's being made for $40 million less than the first and most of the action seems to be taking place in broad daylight, combined with trailers usually having unfinished shots, so... yeah. But I think it looks cool.

Agreed, and this film looks like hot garbage nonetheless. I don't know what irritates me more about the trailer: the horrendous music, the incredibly cheap looking visuals, or the Power Rangers/Transformers aesthetic they have going on.

It's such a jarring departure from the original's tone and style.

My problem with Boyega is that he is touted as a great up and coming actor, and I feel that he over acts his lines and comes off too comedic and awkward. He seems like he'd be better suited for comedy films than big action blockbusters.

I agree. The feeling I got from the latest trailer was that it seems more like a kids movie. Too many daytime environments, too many bright flashy colors, too many young kids. It just seems more like power rangers or transformers. I think the reason the first film was so appealing to me personally, was because it had adult actors in dull giant mechs fighting monsters in the dark. It had more of a Godzilla or monsterverse feel. What I've seen of the sequel looks like monster smackdown in lego city. And we're also going to have rogue yeagers in the mix as well, which I sincerely hope will not be used to float some kind of political agenda. Shame, after the wreck that was covenant, and seeing predators wearing pants and riding on tanks, I was hoping Pacific rim 2 would be the one to deliver the goods. I'll also be waiting for the Blu-ray, and expecting suicide squad story quality. My main focus will stay with "The Meg".
Title: Re: Pacific Rim films
Post by: genocyber on Feb 16, 2018, 03:32:16 AM
The first movie drove the point home that the jaegers were extremely dangerous to pilot. You were strapped into a machine full of electricity and fire exploding around you when you grappled these monsters, and then their was the added stress of your brain having to fuse with another person with you possibly dying in the process. Now they are just big toys for any kid who wants to get in one and go jumping into a building.

Well...a cannon is stationary so I don't see that working effectively. Tanks and jets didn't work when the first Kaiju reached the shore in the first movie.

The cool thing about Del Toro's designs was the fact that none of them really had conventional weapons (aside from Striker's chest missiles). The conventional weapons didn't work, so I don't know why one of the new Yaeger's has a giant machine gun.

PR2 had great potential until they decided to mimic Power Rangers and Transformers. Overall it was enjoyable but to a much lesser extent than the first film. If I had to rate it, PR was a 9/10 and PR2 was a 6/10. This coming from a guy who grew up watching Godzilla movies, PR was such a pleasant surprise, I remember being excited both going in to see it and coming out from the theater. PR2 had neither of those feelings.

'Pacific Rim' Writer Travis Beacham Wanted to Travel to the Other Side of the Rift in Sequels

QuoteI talked to Guillermo about it early on, because there were a ton of crazy ideas for where it could go. We definitely wanted to do a film that took place on the other side of the rift and see what that would be like. I don't know if you could just jump right in and do that, but maybe after a few movies. Personally, I always really wanted to see a prequel. I'm not big on prequels when it comes to other properties, but I thought it'd be fun to go back and see the first Jaegar and first fight with the Kaiju. I wanted to see what that would've looked like from the beginning.

QuoteThankfully, there's still more stories to come set in the world of Pacific Rim. Last November, Netflix announced an anime series that "follows two siblings — an idealistic teen boy and his naïve younger sister — who are forced to pilot an abandoned Jaeger across a hostile landscape in a desperate attempt to find their missing parents." While I wish del Toro got the chance to work more of his magic on this franchise, at least we haven't reached the end of Pacific Rim stories.

QuotePacific Rim - the animated series
I was art directing a PACIFIC RIM animated series for Film Roman and Legendary for a short while. Here are some of my key-frames, character designs, and concept illustrations. I had some great collaborators on this project, including Don Cameron, Troy Nixey, Daryl Bartley, and John Paul Leon.

https://www.artstation.com/artwork/ExxkK

Looks like all of this art was for the Guillermo del Toro animated series (which, according to the captions on some of the pieces, was to be titled Pacific Rim: Steel Warriors) and likely isn't reflective at all of the animated series that is coming to Netflix. I am so bummed that del Toro's animated series didn't get to happen...

Hoping for something good to come from this but Uprising really left a sour taste in my mouth.

EDIT:

First Look at Netflix's Anime Series "Pacific Rim: The Black"!

"Long ago, humanity defeated the Kaiju. Now, they're evacuating Australia. Join a pair of siblings and their battered, long-abandoned Jaegar as they battle across a continent of danger."

https://bloody-disgusting.com/tv/3638623/first-look-netflixs-anime-series-pacific-rim-black/

Hmmm, so based on that synopsis this seems to be set some time after the movie(s). Interesting. Also, something about the look of that Kaiju feels incredibly familiar to me but I can't place it.

The ascension shield would've been cool to see.

Did they actually call a place Bogan?

... was there a single Australian involved with this or did they just quickly Google the word "Australia" and throw the first words that popped up into a blender?

I love this property, even if the second film sucked. Let's see a Godzilla crossover. Or Kong and Godzilla vs pacific rim kaiju.

So awkward title aside Pacific Rim: The Black is pretty good. Feels like the smaller scale sequel Uprising should've been in the absence of del Toro's grandeur. I wish there were 7 more episodes to dig into because the first season does a great job setting things up and introducing new concepts - in ways far smarter than Uprising ever did, arguably making some of Uprising's events/ideas a tad more bearable. Mileage may vary but as a 'take' on the Pac Rim franchise it's as different from Uprising as Uprising was to del Toro's film, but in a good way.

Spoiler
My one nitpick again is the amount of episodes - It feels hurried and a little too fast paced at times, the first and final episodes would have benefitted from being two-parters. Episode 1 goes by pretty quick, setting a lot of things in motion, introducing a batch of young characters only to kill most of them off, etc. But overall it's a solid continuation.

The trailers did basically nothing for me, so I haven't watched any of it yet. Not sure if I will - but I'd be lying if I said I don't really like the design of this Jaeger.

I enjoyed it. The ending made me want more.

I'm really happy with Pacific Rim The Black. The voice acting is good, the animation is good, the story was good, and there were some really good suprises and emotional moments. Most importantly, there was plenty of robots punching monsters.

I tried watching it and fell asleep.  I'll give it another shot soon.

Nothing too spoiler-y but Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans on Netflix, produced by Guillermo del Toro, has a very cool, very unabashed shoutout to Pacific Rim that took me by surprise.

If you don't know what any of this is -
QuoteTrollhunters, Wizards, and 3 Below are three animated shows that are part of Guillermo Del Toro's Tales of Arcadia series. The series begins with Trollhunters (a fantasy show) followed by 3 Below (a sci-fi spinoff) and Wizards (a direct follow up to the last season of Trollhunters). Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans is basically a culmination that unites all three shows against a new threat.

Rumors seem to have what del Toro is teasing in his Tweet as being an LA re-release of the film (presumably with him in attendance, I'd imagine), but I would love to see something more widespread than that. Would love to catch this one on the big screen again if it were to come to my area.
