Godzilla is far more powerful then any jaeger. A single blast of his atomic ray would probably destroy a jaguar. Even if it didn't a jaeger wouldn't be able to kill Godzilla, not only is he extremely resilient to any damage he takes but his cells regenerate at an extremely fast rate. Any damage a jaeger does to Godzilla would be nearly instantly healed.
Edit: Unless you are talking about the American "Godzilla", who did get killed by only a few missiles. It would get destroyed by a jaeger.

would have been hilarious if there were like manual controls for jaegers in case of EMPs.
elaborate pulley systems and exercise bike setup.

Well the war was going on for 12 years by the time Raleigh gets back into service. And Mako being in charge of the mk. 3 restoration program leads me to think that there are more Jaegers being patched back up but Gipsy was the first.

hugeststst missed opportunity. Robot combinations.You don't even needa go all megazord. Gipsy was pretty damaged at times, just frankenstein some parts like the russian's lamda arms and the chinese saw blades.

didn't even realize kaiju's had nicknames. Too much awesome shit happening on screen.
And no wonder humanity was nearly finished. There big monster tracking system was an $.99 ipad game.

Saw this over the weekend.
The effects and the fights were Good as well as the cheesiness.
The acting and the plot was horrendous though.
Acting was just plain bad, Elba was the only thing that was bearable. The romance between the two main character characters where cringe worthy.
The plot was just bad and I don't mean so bad that its good like Starship Troopers but just bad.
I hated the whole "Hey lets weaken everyone and make everyone do ridiculesly stupid things to rise the profiles of the Main characters" instead of "Lets make these main characters bad ass so we appreciate them more".
Crimson and Chemo should have done more and definitely should not have jobbed to a single kaiju. (Chemo was pretty doomed after the acid spit). Elba should have been a bad ass and wrecked shit solo. The world government should have been so stupid.
Maybe its because I hated both of the main characters so glorifying them pissed me off.
Overall though decent movie since the entire points was big monsters versus big robots and they delivered there (Needed more day fighting scenes though).

Funny enough, the American Godzilla's children would absolutely destroy Jaegers, yet their father couldn't.

Otachi is the main character of this movie.
You clearly have the wrong idea while judging a plot.
Starship Trooper is a satire, not a "so bad it's good stuff". The plot in Pacific Rim is fine, its like the plot in Marvel movies not much depth but serviceable. And I think you need to re look at what bad acting really is because the performances were all decent and never hurt the movie, when that happens I don't consider the acting to be bad. Someone called it earlier in the thread that he found the actor's response inside the Conn room fake and jarring, only to be told later that those were real responses because they simulated the Conn room with a real working machinery that spun and simulated a 15 feet drop, people sometimes look for things when there's nothing to look for in the first place. The movie has Sunday Morning cartoon show look and feel to it and it's exactly what they wanted.
I wonder how they decide to give the Kaiju codenames
You hear them say its category then a codename which somehow matches it's design . How do they know what it looks like when the rader screen just shows blobs not direct images
loved the film though felt it was perfect for me, GDT, Mecha, Kaiju, Charlie Day and Idris

The main guy was horrible. Overwrought intentionally or not, everything else was just serviceable. And yeah, the plot was just basic, but you can't just excuse that by saying they set a low bar and hit it. It it what it is.
The amount of people that are still unaware of Starship Troopers' commentary makes me sad. We pretty much lost an awesome Sci Fi director due to all the people who missed the point =(

That would be a valid concern if there had been any romance between the two leads but there wasn't, so... that's just you looking for something that wasn't there.

I dunno, I thought there was a decent amount of romance in the movie.
Sure, they didn't sit back and have a candle-lit dinner, but there was a definite thing brewing there.

saw it over the weekend in imax 3d. Thought the movie kicked ass. Didn't go in expecting a good plot and what not. Just wanted to see some giants robots and monsters and it totally delivered for me.
I wish the possibility of a sequel existed. Want to see some new jaegers and more class V kaiju.

I'm so in. They totally left it open for sequel possibility if need be,.

I dunno. I felt the closest it came was when he tells her she's beautiful before they drift, and that was just because she would see it anyone once they were connected. They had more of a partner/friendship/respect kind of relationship it seemed. Del Torro said that's specifically why they didn't kiss at the end.
Saw it yesterday and it totally delivered! All five of us were entertained and my kids loved the fights. The sword was absolutely a winner. I wish we knew we could expect more.
I'm pretty sure I read where Del Toro said he would like this to be the Star Wars of this generation, and then goes on to film an ending scene where he essentially sends a "nuclear torpedo" to the end of a seemingly impossible to breach tube to finish off the "Death Star". Ha!

deserves its own thread if it checks out.

Yeah he always has ideas of where to take his stories next. See any interview about Hellboy III. This is far from confirmation of a sequel getting the go ahead.
WB just allowed him to explore the possibilities of a sequel...nothing has been greenlit.

I have a feeling this movie will slow burn and be pretty successful once its hits the home market.

Godzilla isn't really an agile melee fighter but his breath will probably melt Gipsy

Yes, if it's a genuine IMAX theater with the tall screen.
Unfortunately there are no IMAX anywhere near me, so I think I will give the standard 3D a go.
I'm already exited to see it a second time
Japan still on the bench? It's done son. Japan can't fail us.

There's a video on fxguide detailing some of the ILM VFX pipeline for the film:
http://www.fxguide.com/fxguidetv/fxguidetv-175-pacific-rim-pipeline-special/
Vid is over 30 min! Looks like PacRim took over 500 TB of disk space. Some shots took a couple of weeks to render out completely.

cross quote from the OT thread.
That's not even taking Japan into account? Incredible news!
I think it's safe to assume that it will be making its budget back and soon.
That is encouraging. Good job international brothers and sisters!
