Haven't you seem those Japanese robot toy things with swords that are larger than their bodies?
It ain't just a robot thing

I have returned from a screening. The movie was great! Everything I wanted. Heart racing action and scale. You are put directly into a crisis situation and the characters all work well. As Del Toro says it's an adventure movie. It's not mindless action.

Anyone who is hyped for this will love it. I guarantee it. While i was hyped for Man of Steel and left a little disappointed...here not so! I only got to see it in a regular RealD 3D screen and have booked opening day IMAX. See it on the biggest screen you can.

The trailers and TV spots haven't shown ANYTHING at all. I have no idea how they kept so much hidden.
MAJOR SPOILER QUESTION:

How much of the Kaiju universe do you see in the movie? Is it really brief? The concept art of it looks trippy as hell
 
I feel like I have been waiting for this movie ever since I spent my monthly VHS rental on Robot Jox to watch 15 minutes of stop motion robots fighting.

You don't get to see much of their universe, but it is otherworldly/trippy.

Does this trailer give a lot away?

They give away more than the others did. Nothing that is egregious.
 
Warner Bros. Pictures, get this trailer in front of many eyeballs as possible between now and July 12th.

I've been listening the soundtrack from Spotify. Ramin Djawadi delivers, good stuff.

I love his Person of Interest soundtrack.

Goddammit, WB, if this movie fails, I'll fucking kill you.

The trailer in the OP is Trailer #3, not #4. So I guess the thread title is wrong? That said, the two trailers seem identical to me.

The link I used in the OP says #3 but it is actually the fourth trailer. The third trailer is what aired on TV last week.
 
Finally! This is the type of trailer they should have been putting on tv and in front of other movies for months now. WB finally got it right here.
 
This should have been the first full trailer really

seriously. it takes a shit on the other ones.

looks really fun...finally!

one thing though: whedon was being taken apart by everyone here for his tv-looking cinematography in avengers during the dialogue scenes. but this looks cheap as hell too outside of the awesome kaiju/mech scenes.

it just looks off during the scenes with elba and jax

That scene looks soap operay when you see it alone like that. Same with the brain scene. Charlie Day is pretty good in this movie and they have really held back on showing any of the dialogue or how the characters interact. It's a lot better than it looks.

It was fine for me, but I didn't mind the Avenger dialogue scenes either so take that as you will.

I was worried about Day's acting though, but he was good so I wouldn't worry about him.

while you are right, i wonder if that is intentional? i would think these professionals would notice that. any movie "know hows" chime in on that, is this the work of a bad cinematographer? i personally dont mind

well whedon had the atonement guy for avengers and it still looked tv-ish so director has mad input on that front. i dunno though.

and @JudgeDredd: charlie day and idris elba are the two i'm most excited to see in this film haha so good to see charlie wasn't annoying.

You may be referring to the aspect ratio because this is the commonality between the two that immediately springs to mind.

Both The Avengers and Pacific Rim were shot in 1.85:1. What does this mean? Refer below for a visual reference.

For the sake of comparison, Man of Steel was shot in the 2.35:1 aspect ratio. Most of the films the predate the 1950's were shot in 1.33:1. This aspect ratio also happens to be the standard framing for televisions, whereas 16:9 (1.77:1) is the aspect ratio for high definition television.

While the difference may seem minor, there's a major disparity here. It dictates the feeling you're going to convey with your framing. The composition of your frame and dynamic of your shoot will be predicated by which aspect ratio you choose to film in. Both offer unique challenges.

Director of Photography Seamus McGarvey's thoughts follow below.
The frame was composed for the 1.85:1 aspect ratio, a concept that was spearheaded by Whedon early on. Explains McGarvey, "Shooting 1.85:1 is kind of unusual for an epic film like this, but we needed the height in the screen to be able to frame in all the characters like Hulk, Captain America and Black Widow, who is much smaller. We had to give them all precedence and width within the frame. Also, Joss knew the final battle sequence was going to be this extravaganza in Manhattan, so the height and vertical scale of the buildings was going to be really important."

Pacific Rim boasts bombastic visuals and gigantic beings that vertically scale to profound heights. Perhaps it was filmed in 1.85:1 for similar reasons.
 
the trailers have been getting progressively more underwhelming in terms of the way they're cut, Legendary needs to hire a new trailer firm. not that I care; day one.
 
Awesome trailer!

Also - 92 posts without a random guy doing a "this is gonna bomb hard lol" drive-by. Well done, GAF.
 
Not sure what king of Kool-aid you guys are drinking but that trailer feels basically the same as all the others. Even ends with that stupid apocalypse cancelled line.

Btw, anyone think the humans look dumb as shit strapped into the machine? You mean to tell me they couldn't invent a better way to control the mechs?

I didn't think I could possibly get more hyped.

Watched the trailer, read this, now I'm bouncing off the fucking walls.

Haven't been this excited to see a movie for a long time.

You want realism in a movie about giant robots who bash giant monsters with their rocket fists?

I for one am grateful that they didn't seem to have taken the Nolan "serious" approach.
Between realism and using an oil tanker as a bat, I'll go with the latter every fucking time.
