This is the part where the pilots suddenly tap into the consciousness of everyone they've ever known, encouraging them to go beyond their limits and deliver a series of final blows to the super final monster so powerful that all of humanity is in awe of being able to witness such a glorious salvation.

No, he's not the worst thing about this movie. The soundtrack's my biggest issue, since it's mostly mood music once more (I like the main theme, though). I'm honestly not certain if Hunnam could have rung a better performance out of his lines—many of them state the obvious and try to position him as a daddy figure to Mako (which is also useless). But he's okay, definitely a victim of bad writing. Many of the other characters are rather memorable.

It's like how the latest way to slander mecha vs. monsters is by comparing it to tokusatsu shows and Evangelion. This is another reason why Pacific Rim ought to do well at the BO and reverse the way people think of monster movies.
Yeah, I read the script a while back and was a bit disappointed. The scripts not a dealbreaker given the type of film at hand, but I was definitely expecting a lot more since the screenwriter is responsible for one of the best unproduced screenplays I've ever had the pleasure of reading (Killing on Carnival Row).

Funny: I figured you would loathe the script. It's not very good at all, not that it needs to be. I never felt insulted by how it panned out, but Travis could have done much better.

just found out on kojima's twitter that shinkawa did the Japanese poster art...
I need to own this.

Honestly even the negative reviews get me hyped for this.

So what is the verdict on the 3D. Yay or Nay?

Good. It's a conversion that finds a nice middle-ground between pop-out and depth.

I would do it without. I felt like it made the water scenes a bit blurry sometimes (this can also be attributed to bad calibration so it can vary with theater). But it was definitely on the better end of the 3D movies. But I don't care for the 3D anyways so if you're into it, go for it. It won't hurt your enjoyment of the movie.
Seriously... look at this damn beauty:
I want to frame this.
I would frame that shit so fast. What's heartbreaking though is that i probably won't even get a chance of having one of those.

Was the 3D in Amazing Spider-Man considered good or bad 3D? That is the only movie I've ever seen in 3D.

I thought it was mostly worthless except for the two first-person sequences
It was pretty middle of the road, I thought - not distractingly awful but not very good either.
The swinging sequences were generally okay, but as a whole the 3D was largely forgettable.
Not horrible, but not great either.

Oh wow, this is a misleading title. Way to be a Debbie Downer.
For those wondering without wanting to click (I don't blame you, I only clicked because I was wondering what the hell was going on), it's an article that says Pacific Rim is rotten on Rotten Tomatoes... Because of the top critics score, which nobody looks at anyway.
It's currently 60% with top critics anyway.

Wait wait wait wait wait a second, you can get that Shinkawa poster if you get a Real3D ticket at Regal? Does anyone know how much they'll have?!

It isn't an issue in movies. It's an issue with the context of a movie. MoS shouldn't have been about Metropolis getting demolished while Superman punches a bad guy in the face.
And it shouldn't have ended with Supes just casually making out while hundreds of people likely were buried under rubble. That's the problem.
Kaiju movies have always been, in larger part, about the destruction of cities. I mean, Godzilla is essentially a giant allusion to the nuclear bombs dropped onto Japan during WWII.

Compared to Man of Steel, the amount of urban destruction here is significantly less.

You get it. Thank you.
Anyways, tickets bought for 9:45 tomorrow night. 2D, since the theater jacked up their prices on 3D. Besides, the 2D showing is in the auditorium that had the bowel loosening sound when I saw Star Trek Into Darkness.
Why they want this movie to fail????? WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah,
I was surprised the amount of fighting that was in the water.
I hate RT meters. Up and down, up and down..

Despite saying they're "barely tolerating" the film, AV Club's review gives Pacific Rim a B.

I'm seeing it at 8:30 tomorrow night in RealD. Didn't feel like paying the extra $6 for IMAX when I haven't been to one in years. Last time I was there, the glasses made things much too dark, so I didn't wanna chance that still being the case.
Dragoon En Regalia

Yup. And whenever reviewers claim there's no tension in the battles because the humans are going to win, they're conveniently overlooking some of the ridiculous stunts the kaiju pull in this one. Just about everything but the kitchen sink gets used to win the battles and save the day.
Agreed, too much info now.

Rt is now 77 but average rating went down from 7.3 to 7.2 which means the positive review must have been a 6/10

Unfortunately I can't contribute to this film's opening weekend take due to a wedding across the country. But I'll be there for weekend #2! Lincoln Square Imax!
Holy shit what click bait, I can't believe I fell for that. The first link, that is.
