CFO Charles 827 Report post Posted April 5, 2013 Go see this fucking movie. I'm sure you know why I will. Essentially the world gets overrun by monsters and the superpower nations create massive giant robot weapons called Jaeger's to combat them. Lots of monster vs. mech fist-fighting action. Also, according to this the most powerful Machine is built by Australia... http://pacificrimfilm.blogspot.ca/p/jaeger-and-pilots-eng.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazee 204 Report post Posted April 5, 2013 Was that the guy out of Sons Of Anarchy in there somewhere? Either way, if it ain't Transformers and there's no hot chick in the film, I ain't watching it. Plot? Aliens come, kill loads of people, we build shit, shit kicks aliens asses, Aliens that are left flee in terror. The End. Am I close? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CFO Charles 827 Report post Posted April 5, 2013 Was that the guy out of Sons Of Anarchy in there somewhere? Yes. That's Charlie Hunnam. And don't even attempt to compare that god awful movie series that is Transformers to this. The first couple I could handle but that is far from what the original idea of transformers and Mecha in general is. The plot, yeah that's it. I'm sure there's more since these things are usually piloted by couples of people who are of close relation. But isn't that a good thing? Instead of cluttering the story up with useless emotional bullshit and pictures of Megan Fox running away from explosions they're actually going to focus on action and ass kicking. If you've ever watched Gundam or any other mech series, you'd know that they constantly clutter the story with emotional relationship bullshit and it almost always ends up killing it. So I for one am glad they're keeping it simple. QD. Eh baby. U want sum fuk? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Massacre 7646 Report post Posted April 5, 2013 Why does the robot have a glowing orange part? Glowing orange parts are always weak points. Might as well paint a target around it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beatnicpie 825 Report post Posted April 6, 2013 Reminds me of the cult classic Robot Jox, which was badass. Also, I have some (and I stress some) hope or this film because of the shot when a robot is thrown into a bridge. He flew through the air in a way that made sense to my brain. I'm gonna get really stoned and see it. Edit: Just watched the trailer again. It's directed by Guillermo del Toro, Idris Elba is using his real accent. It's in 3D. As Meatloaf said, "Two outa three ain't bad." Thanks for bringing this to my attention CFO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Qdeathstar 1763 Report post Posted April 6, 2013 Movie looks ... shitty. Whats the point in having robots if you still have to put humans in them? Also, gladOs is portal's thing.... Finally, the narrator is annoying. The guy also read a book I was trying to read on Audible called "The Grey" and i gave up on the audio part of the book because his voice was just tooo anoying. Meh.

CFO Charles 827 Report post Posted July 15, 2013 Bump. Saw it. Officially the Movie of the Year. On a more serious note. I was pleasantly surprised by it. They put a lot more focus into the story than I thought. I figure it would be mostly monster v robot fistfights, but in fact, only about half the movie was. The first hour focused really strongly on the two pilot's relationship and the mental demon's they have to overcome. The second hour proceeds to be non-stop monster invasion ass kicking action. Overall, I'd give it a 4/5. If you count the fact it had mechs then I'd give it a 10/5. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beatnicpie 825 Report post Posted July 20, 2013 Just saw it last night. It's big dumb fun, but god damn it, it's fun. I rolled my eyes more times than I can remember, but I did so with a smile on my face. Watch Robot Jox. Full movie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZXWHswqCQo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
