Pacific Rim

*Allio* · 07-12-2013, 02:59 PM

Movie came out today, open for discussion

Saw it, I really enjoyed it

*ObiWanFan4life* · 07-12-2013, 03:33 PM

Just saw it, Transformers VS Godzilla. What's not to like?

Shreddhead · 07-12-2013, 03:43 PM

Im pretty sure Ill go and see it, I liked what I saw in the trailers. Question: Do you get to see a lot of the bots/monsters? One of the major complaints I had with the Transformers films was that all the fight scenes were super close up and it was hard to tell exactly who was fighting who and what was going on.

*ObiWanFan4life* · 07-12-2013, 03:50 PM

I truly pity the poor sap who goes to see Grown-Ups 2 over this.

*NinjaPug* · 07-12-2013, 05:53 PM

How is the 3D conversion? I want to see it in IMAX but all of those showings are also in 3D. I typically only like movies in 3D if they were shot with 3D cameras.

I'll definitley be seeing this at some point in the theater.. I really like Guillermo del Toro and everything he has done has been fantastic.. I'm looking forward to seeing it.

Pity meeeeeeeeeee.

Everything I've seen of Pacific Rim looks like garbage and I'm a big Godzilla fan. Not really excited to see generic grey monsters fighting generic robots while it's raining.....in the dark......underwater.

If you actually prefer Grown-Ups 2 over this, go ahead.

Wow man, your a casual Kaiju fan, not even Gamera or Ultraman?

I will! I'll probably eventually see Pacific Rim via redbox or the dollar theater but I have absolutely no interest in spending more than a dollar to see it.

Looks bad to me. All around and call me crazy but I love Sandler movies. Even the 'bad' one's.

Haha. I've seen my fair share of Gamera. Kinda don't care about the 'superhero' variety of rubber monster movies and shows.

I think my biggest issue with PR from looking at it is that all of the monsters are 'kinda-sorta' this monster and 'sorta but not' this monster. It's like getting a store brand Rodan.

Nobody wants store brand Rodan.

*ObiWanFan4life* · 07-12-2013, 09:09 PM

.....Even Jack and Jill and That's my Boy?

Have not seen That's My Boy yet but I laughed a good bit during Jack and Jill. The Pacino Dunkin' Donuts song at the end was beautiful. Sure it had it's misses but I came out liking it.

....I need to watch Hotel Transylvania again.

**Jester** · 07-12-2013, 09:56 PM

You're not missing much by not seeing That's My Boy. It's bad, even by bad Sandler movie standards.

*oldmanwinters* · 07-12-2013, 09:57 PM

I love a good Kaiju vs. Mecha thrilla. But I'm not sure I want to pay standard movie ticket price just for mindless violence and destruction... "in IMAX 3D!!!"

"Crazy". Adam Sandler has only ever been funny on CD. His CDs are wonderful; his films, less so. He's a walking SNL film disclaimer; what's funny for 3 minutes gets annoying after an hour or so.

Opinions, of course. I know his films are super-popular, I just like him in smaller doses.

I forgot this Pacific Rim movie was coming out and it kinda doesn't excite me. I'll see it eventually. I like Stryker's "store brand" analogy. We have actual Transformers and Godzilla movies coming out soon; this movie's point is... ?

Good thing IMAX 3D's aren't standard ticket prices, then.

*Brodie* · 07-12-2013, 11:04 PM

I saw it. I liked it a lot. I can see it not making a ton of money, and a lot of people not digging it. But I love Godzilla & Gamera movies, and this felt similar.

The monsters are interesting, when more of them pop up, luckily the trailers only show like 2. The robots are boring as ****, until they're getting destroyed. The people are generally terrible.

Most of the monster stuff is at night, in the rain, like Stryker said. Which isn't a surprise, if you've seen the trailers.

Its a fun movie. But I'd have hard time recommending it to people who don't like action or monster movies.

Biggest issue? The Godzilla remake trailer was supposed to be attached, and it wasn't. Kind of pissed.

*Bauer536* · 07-12-2013, 11:08 PM

If I had to pick, I would go for Pacific Rim. Whether or not it's good, it may be interesting (and less low brow than Grown-Ups 2). I'm sorry. As someone who enjoyed the first one, I have a bad feeling the sequel will be terrible.
