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?

If you have to willpower to skip this trailer you might as well hold off.

I saw an early screening of Man of Steel and posted my thoughts for that after I got out in the spoiler thread. PacRim > MoS to me by a decent bit.
 
Trailer is awesome, this is the one they should have shown from the start. Lets hope the great word of mouth from pre-screenings gets around soon!

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.

I love you so much right now.

Well it certainly does look like a 13 year old is responsible for it.

Interesting Forbes article about the abuse of tracking numbers on Pacific Rim
Click to expand...

I don't usually care about this marketing and box office stuff, but this was a good read:

Hidden in the middle of Variety’s “Is Pacific Rim Doomed to Be This Year’s Battleship?” piece is the fact that Warner Bros. has only spent 30% of their marketing budget thus far. This is actually a wonderful thing to hear. I’ve long argued at the pointlessness of these insanely expensive long-lead marketing campaigns, with copious trailers, clips, and posters designed mostly to capture the interest of hardcore film fans who already bought their midnight IMAX ticket as soon as it was available.

Warner Bros. is holding most of its marketing money for the last couple weeks, which makes sense since most general moviegoers don’t really care about what’s coming out months from now. Even with the social media that seemingly surrounds every single living soul, there is still a large percentage of moviegoers that still choose to see a new release because that trailer they saw in front of Man Of Steel looks good or they liked the TV spot that aired during the NBA finals the night before opening day. So when Del Toro takes to the Internet to reassure fans that the tracking numbers are going up, that’s probably true since Warner Bros. hasn’t exactly been spreading awareness.

With Man Of Steel taken care of following a successful domestic and overseas launch, and The Hangover 3 and The Great Gatsby wrapping up their successful theatrical runs (both films cost around $105 million and made well over $300 million worldwide), WB now has two weeks to sell the heck out of giant robots doing battle with giant monsters.

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.

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.

When Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim hits theaters in a week or so there’s one thing the director and the man who headed up his flick’s visual effects—Industrial Light & Magic’s John Knoll—can’t wait for audiences to see: the battle in Hong Kong.

The spoiler-free version of what happens is this: It’s a nearly 20-minute kaiju-versus-mecha brawl that, of course, takes place in Hong Kong. According to the men who spent months on the face-off between the kaiju and robots (known as Jaegers in the movie), it’s epic.

A friend of mine who writes for some local celebrity magazines and newspapers attended a screening yesterday here in Mexico and tells me it was fantastic. She is kind of a hollywood fangirl, and likes romantic comedies primarily so it surprised me that she seemed to have loved it. She liked that the effects didn't overshadow the characters, and there was enough screentime for most of them, and that you could see what was happening at all times instead of a piss of lights and effects. The 3D wasn't so bad either, apparently.

I'm sooo not buying into the hype this time around.

I just hope that this won't turn out as disappointing as Prometheus.
Click to expand...

Prometheus was still a fine movie-going experience for me. The problem with that movie was twofold: nonsensical plot and characters, and failing to live up to the previous movie legacy, especially Alien, which happens to be a masterpiece of cinema.

Going by the previews this doesn't seem to have the first problem, and the second would have to do more with personal experience with the genre, and not one specific piece of work.

I think this will do great overseas.
 
Looks okay, this trailer is much better than the previous ones, but I'm still unconvinced. I definitely don't get where all this hype is coming from.

For me, it's nice to see a action scifi spectacle that's not a previously established franchise, featuring mostly unknown actors, and an imaginative director's (hellboy and pans labyrinth) first chance at a big budget movie.

Some people are happy to see a new movie that is not based on an established IP.
Some people liked Del Toro's works.
Some people just loved the fuck out of giant robots and giant monsters movies and are not afraid to say they still liked it regardless of age.
Some people are happy with the combination of the above.

This pretty much sums it up.
