Oh, the score is great too! I was a bit worried at first, since the first action scene has Inception horns. But the rest is awesome.

The score rocked. Keep listening to that main theme.

I'm guessing that Pacific Rim is a Legendary property. They did put up 75% of the financing.

 

[Brian Fellows]

what I find ironic is that a shit movie like the lone ranger didn't get a single bad press article from them, yet pacific rim which is getting great critics reception gets all these 'doom and gloom' articles.

I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but there has to be some hidden agenda there because otherwise I don't get it.

[Expendable.]

Also, I thought the 3D was solid -- a rarity. It's crazy immersive, but not obtrusive.

 

[Rastafarian42]

Just got back from the screening all I can say is this is a boys childhood dream come to life in the form of a summer blockbuster.

 

[overcast]

I cannot wait for this movie. I can't anymore.

 

[phazedplasma]

Made this for my fellow gaf jeager rangers

 

[Expendable.]

Stay for mid credits scene too.

That's what I thought this movie would be - a thoroughly satisfying spectacle of childhood imagination realized on the big screen.

 

[overcast]

Hey Expendable, how good are the special effects in general? How are the monster designs?

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Stay for mid credits scene too.

I saw it coming. *snip* The few people who remained for the credits loved it.

I bet I could find a Sandler library in the latest CGI workhouse app.

I think someone earlier in this thread said that WB is gimping Pacific Rim in order to get Legendary to stay. That really did not make sense as that would just drive them away faster rather than make them want to stay. However it looks like that partnership is now officially over.

The drama sticks to its tropes without seeming hackneyed (one scene involves visiting Mako's memories in the midst of a neural connection, which is surreal); the action's the best I've seen in a while, with breathing room and infinite amounts of destruction kept in the background; if anything, there's a great amount of world-building that implies numerous things about the dramatis personae and how people live, all without directly revealing these things. That, to me, is the best kind of character development for this kind of story, where the stakes are informed by rich context.

Fucking awesome. Telling not showing is a plague on modern blockbusters. Glad to hear Pacific Rim avoids that.

I hope you are talking about del Toro and not about a scene in the movie.

 

[phazedplasma]

Its crazy that its tracking so low. You literally can't walk around a block in Manhattan without seeing a pacific rim ad. I hear people who aren't even into sci fi films talking it up randomly.

I hope its like inception and just slaughters.

 

[Soul Beat]

I saw it coming. *snip*

I really wish I hadn't read this.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

You got me. I'll edit that out, just felt like it'd be a bit obscure.

Hit me with sarcasm one more time Chinner, I dare you.

How 3D are the jokes?

 

[Chinner]

How 3D are the jokes?

very. they even make sound effects!

 

[Treefrog]

Just got my tickets for a 7pm Thursday showing!

Aaaaannnndddd... it's on my birthday!


Might have to pick up a figure on the way there

 

[PhoncipleBone]

I hope its like inception and just slaughters.

Inception did have ridiculous legs for a modern summer film. Less than 40% drops for the first 12 weeks. That thing hung on like a beast.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Fucking awesome. Telling not showing is a plague on modern blockbusters. Glad to hear Pacific Rim avoids that.

If it does any telling of that sort, then I didn't pick up on it. My viewing atmosphere wasn't the best, so I've gotta rewatch sometime soon.

 

[Amalthea]

Why do I have to wait another week to see it? Waaaah

4.7 multiplier was pretty damn good.

Really damn good for a modern summer blockbuster.

 

[evilromero]

I had a feeling this would be good. Glad to see it's doing well on RT.

 

[Count Dookkake]

Honestly, when the shit starts to hit the fan, I felt like I was on MDMA.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

I may see if my dad is up to see it this weekend, I have a feeling he will though.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

My dad enjoyed it a lot. He prefers Man of Steel, but I wouldn't be surprised if he gets this on Blu whenever that happens.

 

[Avixph]

Anyone here from or in New York City going to watch the movie at AMC Loews Lincoln Square 13?

Nah going to kips bay. Lincoln Sqr is the best theatre but so far from brooklyn.

 

[Platy]

Just realised that this movie being awesome on the box offices means that we have more chance of Del Toro getting green light to direct Cthulhu AND Constantine !

OMFG I AM AN ATHEIST AND I AM PRAYING FOR EVERY GOD I KNOW FOR THIS MOVIE TO SELL LIKE WATER IN THE DESERT

 

[chrono01]

I really want that IMAX poster, but I won't be able to make the first-night screening.

I can only hope that they offer it later for sale on its own [although I doubt it].

 

[Avixph]

Nah going to kips bay. Lincoln Sqr is the best theatre but so far from brooklyn.

But it's worth it for being the only real Imax in New York City.

How do I acquire this? I will literally donate hair for this.

 

[rc213]

Got to see it earlier tonight at Hollywood premiere in the Dolby Theater. That place is fancy as fuck, free drinks and popcorn. Movie delivered, Came out satisfied.

Personally speaking, I'd love to get the chirashi for this (a small handbill-like poster).

Oh my God, get Del Toro on a Zone of the Enders movie.

Not the same, but Kojima tweeted a somewhat higher res (or at least somewhat bigger) version of the poster. Maybe printing it out on nice paper would be a lower cost alternative to getting one from overseas?

 

[rothgar]

Getting hyped for the movie. My company rented the Alamo Drafthouse so that we can watch the movie Thursday at noon. Watching it with my co-worker buddies is gonna be fun.

Who are you and how can I be your friend???

 

[onlyindreams]

I need to own this.

I am nobody, Twitter giveaways got me in. Saw The Conjuring 2 weeks back too.
