And to the shock of nobody, the monster designs were awesome. All the glimpses in the trailers did not sell the kaiju for me, but when you get a good look at them in the film and see how they movie it is awesome. I expected nothing less from Del Toro when it comes to monsters.

This. Kaiju designs were incredible. Each one distinct but very clearly from the same grain.

Just got back from IMAX 3D. It was awesome. I usually am not a 3D fan but this had just the right amount.

Surprising, this may be the first time I've somewhat enjoyed 3D in a film. Will have to see in 2D again to make sure.

It was cool. I got my poster too

I don't know what it was exactly, maybe it was the scale. But whenever one of those things reared back, the imminent damage that was about to occur made me cringe. One or two of them even legit scared me for a few seconds.
Scale and sound helped sell the danger. But what sold it the most for me was the pure ferocity with how the kaiju fought.

This will be the first movie I watch in IMAX 3D. If I don't watch it tomorrow I'll watch it Saturday for sure. I can't wait.

You know what this film REALLY needs? An animatrix style collection about the various stories and fights in between the first incursion and the film.

This was such a fun movie. I need to see it again. Should my second showing be in 3D?

Did you watch it in 3D already? I will watch it again in 2D.


I hate you people. That's the poster I want the moast.

They had a big stack at my theater and they were pretty much unguarded. I saw people leaving with them as I was entering for the 7 PM show which was the first viewing, Seems that some people were just taking them without even watching the film.

I completely agree.

In the fight at
Hong Kong, I was legit terrified as the Kaiju were tearing apart Typhoon and Cherno.
 
was great shit. talk more tomorrow in spoiler thread... also sad thing the imax here didn't have the imax posters.

good thing, they had a lot of the one by the MGS artist. And they didn't give a fuck.

...Grab one for me, please! Too late? Don't worry, I expected it.

No seriously, that's just heart-breaking to see. I need that poster. Badly.

I'll trade you for the IMAX 3D poster.

Even trade. PM me if interested.

Can someone who has an extra Yoji Shinkawa poster, hook me up. I'm willing to pay.

LOL at all these posts for the poster.

I never thought I'd ever rekindle the feeling I had watching Jurassic Park for the first time in theaters as a 9-year-old, and I have to thank Guillermo del Toro for giving that to me with Pacific Rim.

Cloverfield was the scout. Pacific Rim is the exterminator. Kaiju eiga is back bitches.
 
I grabbed the second for a buddy of mine. Sorry. :( If he doesn't end up wanting it, I'll see if I can get it to one of you guys.

They had a stack of them out for folks to take. I didn't even think to grab more but honestly I probably could have. I'm going to see it again on Saturday so if they have more left, I'll just grab a shit ton of them.

I loved this movie.

Bring on another, please. I hope it doesn't bomb.

I will see it a second time this weekend, in 3D, due to all the positive 3D reactions.

Holy crap, how come my theater never gives out cool posters like that!? All they do is charge about $30 for those standee displays of '80s & '90s movie characters.

I need to convince one of my cousins in the states to go to a Regal Cinema and get me one. I have a couple cousins who went tonight in NYC and they did not go to a Regal Cinema.

Damn I want that poster bad.

When I saw skyfall, they left the poster box after the late showing and I got stacks of em. I hope I'm lucky with Pacific Rim.

I felt dirty pm'ing chickdigger802 about the poster.
You should!

I quoted the post asking, but I'm not about add to the spam in his inbox right now. It must be insane.

I can only hope that he sees my request and doesn't mind shipping to Canada [I will pay, of course, shipping as well as whatever cost he wants for the poster].
 
So Phonciplebone, the verdict is that it is good?

I think we have similar tastes in movies so I will trust your review.

Was thinking about seeing it. (tomorrow is my birthday)
 
I was ripped off my Regal Theatre didn't have any posters. Last time I go there for a while.... The movie was great as long as you keep in mind your going in for a summer movie. The action was the incredible, but the only downside was that the climax wasn't as great as it could have been. If you're going to see this movie at all definitely do so in 3D it wasn't obtrusive at all.
