Fuck the bad trackings... and people saying it's gonna bomb.
The battle for this movie starts today. Superman is not the summer movie we were waiting for, Lone Ranger is having a foul word of mouth, and this morning - surprise - a lot of positive reviews coming from everywhere.

Honestly I think this movie has done it the best in any medium, outside of people controlling a robot solely with their mind.

Warner Bros. Pictures, get this trailer in front of many eyeballs as possible between now and July 12th.
The movie's screenwriter also seems to be elated with this piece of marketing material.
Looks like I wasn't the only one frustrated at the terrible trailers they used for the film so far.
Finally getting to see the actual robots, dialogue, and day time action sequences. You need to market the film, hiding everything will only ensure you don't get anyone's butts in seats. I just hope its not too little too late.

Finally, a good trailer! Of course, it could have done without the wub wub, but besides that, it's the best piece of marketing Warner Brothers has put out so far.

I hope this film Bombs the crap out of our eyes watching those fight scenes 
You're kidding right? You think pressing a bunch of buttons is more realistic than using actual body movements when it comes to controlling a giant humanoid robot?

Is there anywhere that has a compilation of reviews/impressions from the recent early screenings?

Oh man.
Got to the 2 minute mark and said wow, we are going to get out of this without the apocalypse being canceled. And then bam! wrong, it's canceled! fuuuuuuuuu
Movie still looks great though. Finally they show a human element.

Will Vince Zampella make up a weird name for these giant machines that people ride in and use them to fight other giant things?
It's people like you that are killing off Super Robots.

Whoah. I thought Man of Steel was a major disappointment, so I don't know what your standards are. Already bought IMAX tickets anyway.
Should I watch this trailer if it shows barely anything?

Gave in, watched it. Yeah, shows more humans. That fight in the city, at day, looks super sweet.
Sort of. Though the only similarity I've seen so far is the breathing liquid used in the suit.
The way pilots control robots in Gundam with joysticks makes no damn sense.
Yeah and the bond thing can be compared to the sync ratios.

I don't think so, we know she is being dubbed by
voice actress in the japanese version.

Hang out with Steve.
My brain is exploding. I haven't looked forward to a movie this much since The Phantom Menace (and hopefully this won't turn out like that did). In fact in some ways I'm -more- hyped, because as a kid in the 70's I watched Ultraman, Johnny Sokko and his Flying Robot, and every Godzilla/Gamera/etc kaiju movie I could.
I feel 36 years younger

It obviously looks like a similar type of affair to Evangelion on paper. Big humanoid mechanical beings fighting huge monsters. Humans syncing with the robots. LCL type liquid used to breath etc.
But in reality both look to be different. Eva units are a lot more nimble and athletic. The design is a lot more unorthodox in comparison. Bright purple and all that. These however seem to be more slow and mechanical. Eva units are seen doing back flips and flying kicks and all that stuff.
The way the Eva pilots sit in the unit makes it less busy and more compact inside the entry plug. They wear plug suits but there are bits where you can see Shinji just in his school uniform. Pacific Rim seems to be more laborious for the pilots. The two pilots in the same cockpit is also different
And the enemies are a lot different as well. The angel's come in all weird shapes and sizes. And never mind the whole Instrumentality thing.
Both have similarities but at the same time both are very different. But most importantly both are awesome. Just thought I'd write this down since in bored and was thinking of the two yesterday.

unless you factor in Eva 3 or Episode 8: Asuka Strikes!

Yeah I agree with you. What about G-Gundam? That seems like a better comparison, at least with the way the cockpit and the fighting works.
I'd say it seems to be like a mixture of the two. Bits resembling both here and there and then having its own flair added on top. Seems to be a more...dare I say grounded version of Gundam. No flying around and space stuff by the looks of it. No beam saber. Has enough of its own unique attributes to stand out that's for sure.

Good time to show my poster:
Is that true? That can't be a coincidence. Although Rinko Kikuchi's character seems to kick more ass than Rei.

Without one for one full resistance feedback capability built into those body movement controls, then no it's not an effective control system. It's no different from garbage motion controls in games. Can't replicate precision in any form unless you actually have full feedback. Hit something with a sword of a fist, you have to actually feel it in your body and the resistance of hitting a physical body, otherwise your just flailing around like a Kinect game. Swing a sword at a target who parries, yet your motion is still going forward with a parry while the robot is stuck hitting a solid mass. Suddenly your robot that mimics your moves is doing awkward body movements while its sword arm is stuck in place with it's target and probably breaking apart from the spazz like movement. You would have to work with preprogrammed move sets like a wiimote game.
Are the big metal harnesses they wear supposed to mimic this in the movie?

Needs more Wub.
Because people sitting on a control room clicking big red "kill monster" buttons looks less stupid than having big mechanical rigs where there is more physicality and involvement from the pilots, making the scenes more active... right. Get out of here.
The only Kool Aid we have been drinking is the "I have seen other GDT movies and I know at least every scene will be visually interesting, if not fascinating" Kool Aid. The story and dialogue might be cheesy, but the main event are the fights and the visuals. There is even one scene they talked about
where we visit one of the scientist's lab, filled with animatronics and little models of monsters
Yes. That is why they are connected to their spines. It's obviously Hollywood science, but the purpose of the rig hanging up inside the robot -so to speak- was that they could "feel" the ground beneath their feet and have feedback for their actions. The machinery pulls their bodies around like external forces would.

Can't remember for sure but didn't someone who read the original script say she was like a mixture of Rei and Asuka.
