How many reviews total?

114. 81 positive, 33 negative.

Edit: Huh, now it's at 71%.

 

[Ghost23]

Well, it looks like Pacific Rim will beat Grown Ups 2 review wise. Grown Ups 2 is at a miraculous 0%. Here is a quote from the top review:

"In the first five minutes, a deer walks into the star's bedroom and urinates on his face. It's all downhill from there."

Sorry for being OT, but this gave me a good laugh.

Could it be opening more than 66 million ???!!!!

Not with Despicable Me and Grown Ups in the theater.

 

[drifter444]

Any advice on where to sit in an IMAX theater? I'm going to get my ticket now!

Hey, World War Z was up against Pixar and it did fine. This film has a fighting chance as long as it can maintain positive word of mouth.

I picked row J at my IMAX. You want a little farther back than middle since the screen is so big. Pick seat 14 or 15 in row J for the best experience IMO.

As far back as possible.

According to @Fandango, PACIFIC RIM is selling more advanced tickets than WORLD WAR Z. Could it beat Z's $66M opening?

That would be fantastic, and I have to think it would ensure a profit.

GDT deserves it.

Even if you get a side seat, it doesn't matter because the screen is fucking huge and panoramic to envelop your field of view.

Thanks to a last-minute marketing deluge and strong reviews, Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures' fanboy-driven Pacific Rim could defy naysayers and open north of $40 million in its North American debut, putting it in a potentially close contest with Adam Sandler comedy Grown Ups 2, according to studio insiders.

 

[Toparaman]

Grown Ups 2 is at 0%. I find that really funny for some reason.

 

[G-Fex]

fanboy driven?

That and perhaps people who just rather not spend money on a god awful comedy

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Reposting from the previous page, but is there a consensus on 3D?

No.

The hype machine causes geek movies to have higher advanced ticket sales.

If I sit a few centimeters from my TV that is like the IMAX experience?

Because this movie has no merit outside of fanboy zeal, apparently. The only possible way it could be exceeding expectations.

And yet it has 95% "Want to See".

 

[chickdigger802]

Should I watch this drunk or high or neither?

[Fxp]

Saw it today. Fantastic movie, I can't remember last time I was to excited during the movie. Perfect robot action, audio and 3D, everything!
It'll we huge hit in Japan, no doubt.

 

[Error]

This was never going to get universal critical acclaim, the core concept alone prevents that. I'm even surprised it got that many positive reviews.

I just want this movie to beat Grown Ups 2 this weekend. Come on pls.

 

[dgenx]

10 people joined! Nerrrrdsss

 

[Eteric Rice]

I have a feeling this will be one of those movies beloved in a decade or so, when younger audiences are grown up and have nostalgia for it.

Wish I could see the movie today, but alas.

 

[Salsa]

fark, wont be able to go today due to work it seems

weekends are annoyingly packed and moreso since we're on vacation. Might just well till Monday/Tuesday if I can hold the hype

 

[TheKaeptain]

In about 6 hours I will be watching this.

 

[Parallax]

OP updated.

how many robot movies have been released lately? did i miss something?

 

[.la1n]

Three more hours, the wait is becoming painful especially with fellow GAF posters chiming in with early impressions. I really want this movie to do well, we need more movies like this.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

I can't get a single friend to watch this with me and I have some pretty fucking nerdy friends.

 

[lupinko]

Dunno if I want to watch tonight or tomorrow night on IMAX3D. My ticket would be free too. hmmm.

 

[ultron87]

I'm cancelling the not seeing this tonight.

 

[ponpo]

Want to see this for Rinko ;_;

 

[Salamando]

Argh. Nearest Regal cinema doesn't actually exist. Next nearest one is like 50 miles away...at that distance, I could pay up to $20 or so on Ebay and end up ahead

pm me and if I get a poster tonight I'll request your shipping details (if you're in the states) and ship it off.

 

[Nappuccino]

Did you get like, 5 posters as compensation then?

 

[Mattdaddy]

Anyone know how big that poster is for the Regal theaters?

 

[TheChits]

In about 6 hours I will be watching this.

Barely 3 over here. It is hard to contain my excitement

Really? Done. That'd be awesome. Also saves be from dealing with 3D at all. Not a fan of dealing with the glasses over my glasses/contacts.

Also look like Odd City entertainment had a poster release earlier today - http://oddcityentertainment.com/

 

[Messofanego]

Comes out tomorrow in UK, family is uber hyped. Yeah, I asked them.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

I'd love to get the Shinkawa poster, but all the Regal theaters are down in Dallas and I've things to do. Same goes for the IMAX deal, unfortunately.

Body. Is. Ready.

 

[MrSilentGuy]

Well, I managed to buy tickets for private viewing in IMAX. And I wasn't disappointed. It is really good movie and it delivered what it was promising. Giant robots fighting with alien beasts. I and my friends really enjoyed it. So to all fans of giant robots, mecha and Godzilla I say this - you have to go and see it in the cinema. You won't be disappointed.

 

[Omie]

Saw this movie on Tuesday. It was like everything I have seen before and like nothing I've seen before. Sublime movie. It had its cliches but I ate that shit up because it was so well made and allowed me to suspend belief. Not many movies can do that for me so it just felt magical watching it. This movie was off the fucking hinges, everyone and their grandma should go see it.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Fuck this movie has a 3 showing for tomorrow but the 3D is at noon. Rahter go early but how is the 3D in this movie?


Grown Ups 2 is taking over most of the show times. God damm Adam Sandler.

 

[Deified Data]

Just ordered the other two figures in NECA's PR line today, Gypsy Danger and Knifehead. Really looking forward to them! I hope their quality matches Crimson Typhoon's.

Gipsy Danger is cool, Knifehead is meh.

Crimson Typhoon is definitely the best.

 

[Jables Swan]

I need those figures.

Supposedly the 3d is really good. While it's a post-conversion the CGI shots were all composited in 3D from the get go.
