† Anras Rune Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Well, I almost had a nerdgasm today when reading ign. Del Toro seems to have begun a project many people have been wanting for years; a true anime inspired mecha film!/>http://au.ign.com/articles/2012/07/14/comic-con-pacific-rim-brings-giant-monsters-and-robotsthe below explains what we know so far, but by god does it sound brilliant! Del Toro has always been one of my favourite directors, but if he does this right he will be my favourite. All i need now is a trailer...

Reptoholic Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Lets just hope he doesn't let us down. Rarely do they turn a good anime into a good Live Action movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Welsh Paddy Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Okay, seriously. Is anyone here looking forwards to this film as much as I am?! When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes -- a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi) -- who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind's last hope against the mounting apocalypse. I swear, I have literally been waiting my entire life for something like this. I mean, my favourite cartoons as a child were the likes of Battle of The Planets, and Transformers, and I am a huge fan of classic Kaiju movies (You know, like Godzilla vs. *insert giant monster here*) and my favourite run of comics was Marvel's Shogun Warriors, which was based off Gaiking. This film seems to take elements from all of those and rolls them into one fantastic looking film! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Angel13 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 I just watched the trailer and it looks like an okay movie, reminds me of battle los angeles mixed with The day after tomorrow kinda thing lol or just the Godzilla movie haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Welsh Paddy Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 All of those films you mentioned (Well, that's if you're refering to the Godzilla film that was set in New York) are terrible. This film is definitely much more reminiscent of the classic Japanese Kaiju movies, crossed with 70's sci-fi. Even the suits are somewhat similar to those that were worn in Shogun Warriors, Battle of The Planets and various other 'toons that involve giant mechs!Usually, I tend to reserve judgement on films and not let myself get too excited, but this... I've never felt so excited about a film my entire life. Del Toro is a fantastic director, and while this sort of film is something new and different from him, I have much faith in him pulling this off really well. Idris Elba is in it too, and he's a fantastic actor.I've watched this trailer a dozen times already and it still makes me feel all giddy....One of the robots does that awesome rocket punch thing!

Dark_Angel13 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 I guess we have different taste in movies lol, though I will admit Battle Los Angeles did suck, I liked the other 2 though but I haven't watched Godzilla again since I was a kid so who knows lol. Anyway not the point, everyone gets their own opinion even if they are stupid ones jkz. The movie is definitely one I'll check out, not really excited about it though lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
