It's a good thing that mecha can't talk then. All we'll hear coming from this mechanized messiah is the sweet drone of Idris Elba.

Striker's going to be the Warf/Vegeta of this movie, not the Jar-Jar
Is there only one issue of this?
Give this a read if you're really hyped for the film. The film picks up where this ends and it provides a nice back story.

It's a hardcover, 112-page book, not just a single issue comic.

Tix purchased. Have to see it in a morning show unfortunately... but at least I got matinee prices on the 3D IMAX tickets 
And suddenly we all discover that this beauty is the Jar Jar Binks of the movie =|
Priceless.
Count me in on seeing Pacific Rim in its opening weekend. Together we will cancel the bomb-ocalypse.

well i know the behind the scenes blu ray will be glorious! after seeing the cockpit thing i felt like i was in a robot already lol.
And bought!
I'm with you.
The thing is that Ridley Scott, despite masterpiece Alien, had an iffy record, Del Toro on the other hand? he's flawless.

This statement would imply that you've outgrown any desire to see giant monsters fighting giant robots, which is obviously not possible.

That's entirely understandable. I feel the same about video games, yet a movie that is basically VIDEO GAME: THE MOVIE has me excited as kid in a candy store.
Oh I haven't... but 10 year old me can play with the toys in public without getting awkward stares.
Also I was super into Godzilla movies as a kid. I watched a ton of the Japanese films with their terribad dubs. YEAH I LIKED THE 98 GODZILLA MOVIE AS A KID WHO WANTS TO FIGHT

Do it now anyway and elbow rocket anyone who does give you awkward stares!
Well it's not like as a kid you would go, "The CG was subpar and the plot really lost its focus on the central characters." It's a monster movie, how could you NOT like it as a kid.

Lone Ranger is already on it's way to bombaville. which is sad since it's probably the most surprising blockbuster of the year for me. really fun adventure flick. full of leone, ford and fucking dead man references.
This will be a bigger success. But it won't be THAT big. It doesn't have that transformers marketing/hype.
but if it is a success then the sequel will be huge.
Pacific Rim HeroClix! Anyone else want these? I have a NECA Gipsy Danger on the way but these look nice too :3
here's more:

amazon has all 3 as well, shipping now. There is a bit of a markup though. If you can find them at toys r us or elsewhere you'll save 5 or 6 bucks.

Wow, so I have two of my friends coming with me to see PR on the 12th and when I went to talk to a third about it, he was at first like "what's that?" So once I showed him the IMDb PR page on my iPhone, he almost laughed me out of the restaurant we were in and mentioned "that's that movie where Godzilla meets Transformers, nah I'll pass." So after a good 15 minute talk with him about it, he's leaning more towards canceling the apocalypse with us next week! Honestly I'm a little concerned that despite the recent trailer, I think the damage may already been done about the general public's perception of the movie. And it seems like the only way that can be undone it through word of mouth. Spread the word GAF!

i don't get it either. a friend of mine who i talked with said "haha, thats just transformers". the fuck, transformers was fucking big at the box office. and he watched those damn movies too.
I've had similar scenarios with films. People know I have a good record though... if I'm willing to spend my time trying to convince you to see a film, it's probably worth your time. He'll see in the end!
My parents are probably seeing Grown-Ups 2 instead of PR.
Some people are beyond help.

I think there's this general perception that if it has robots and it isn't the brand "Transformers" then it isn't worth your time.
After he laughed at me in the restaurant, I briefly considered it.
Wow, I would've been seething as well! You may just have to bite the bullet and force him to come with you by purchasing his ticket for him! And then he can pay ya back later.

I've heard this as well. I think Sent saw the movie and confirmed it if I'm not mistaken.

Seeing it tomorrow. So stoked.
Yeah, I can see that. That kind of mainstream appeal is very difficult to hit or replicate. Not that I think this movie is trying to do that -at least not blatantly or cheaply- but I can understand how it seems that way to some. General movie going audiences will see all sorts of garbage, but are also real finicky about what they go to see en-masse. It's a weird thing.
I think this will do great internationally, and frankly, I'm just super glad this got made and by one of my favorite directors no less.
