And the FX were amazingly real looking 95% of the time!

I saw it this morning. It was pretty okay.
I don't think it was really based on a true story. Thus, I think they used some CGI or claymation or something for the effects.
Also, when we get the tech for robots? They should use them to land on Mars or something useful. (Not that fighting the aliens isn't important.)
Methinks you missed the point, Painlord ;) Go back about two or three pages.
Realism is the enemy. Awesomeness is the only goal.
I saw it Sat morning. Will go see it again.
Every movie I've seen this year, in the theaters, has disappointed me somewhat. Iron Man 3, Man of Steel, Star Trek - there was always a point in the movie where I thought "That could have been done better"
Not so with Pacific Rim, it was everything I expected it to be.
The best comparison to another movie I can think of is Star Wars (the original single movie) - they both wanted to tell a story, and both were just plain fun to sit and watch. And Pacific Rim has some great mini-character arcs - and every action fit with each motivation. I didn't see the idiot ball once.
Agreed. It was everything I wanted, and in some cases more. It did exactly what it said it would, and exceeded my expectations on how it was going to do so.
I really enjoyed Into Darkness, I like the "darker & edgier" style Star Trek they were going for, but it was great to sit down and watch a movie that didn't feel the need to be grimdark. It was just fun.

I just saw it today. Loved it. The fact that most of the fights happen at night was not a big deal in the end. The movie was well paced so it did not seem like a gimick. I do have a couple of logic questions though:
2. The liftboats at the end going back through the rift to escape the blast. You had to think you were a kajui. How did they get through?

2. It's not explicitly stated, but I just justified it to myself by thinking that maybe the breach was genetically locked in one direction only. I mean the creators of the Kaiju aren't going to be worried about things going through the rift from their end, that's the whole point of it. So maybe the gene coding is a sort of one way filter.

2. I don't think the rift had ever closed from their original descent. They just shot back up through the tunnel before it closed and required a re-scan to reopen.
Crap. Just realised I didn't close the spoilers on my post and it's too late to edit it. Have flagged it to have them added.
Sorry guys.
What gets me about the movie is that its so close to the game robotic alchemic drive its not funny.

I saw this movie in IMAX Saturday night and it was really good. The action and fight scenes were amazing and despite it being a two hour movie, it felt short. The Jagrs looked plain awesome, the monsters looked extremely Cthulu like. This movie was everything that the Transformers SHOULD have been.
Also the story and acting were alright too (nothing made me laugh at the screen, which is a good sign). I liked the majority of characters in the movie (the pilots anyway).
Highly recommend this movie, was awesome! I'm going to see it again in IMAX.

My responses to each of your points.
Yes.
Hell yes.
Hells freaking yes.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!
And yeah, it's been a long time since a film managed to fill me such such pure excitement, it really was like being a child again.

I saw it Sunday with most of my gaming group.
It felt a little slow getting started, but once it really got going it was glorious.
My favorite comment from a member of my group was in response to
Saw it a second time today....yep, it's as good as I thought it was after the first viewing. The last time I saw a movie twice in the theater was when I was thirteen. It's just not something I do. Might see this a third time. I've never done that before.
Also, now that I've got the kidlet hooked on the genre, which mech anime should I show him first (he's ten, so age appropriate please)? Leaning towards Gundam Wing since that's what I started with, but more than happy to hear other suggestions (and I know Freehold has plenty). Wouldn't want to lose momentum here. :)

Yes! After watching this movie you can't help but feel awesome!
This is the first movie since LotR I will watch again in theatres.
I liked Teknoman.
Seconded. That show was one of the first anime series I watched on a regular basis, and I still go back and watch it through every year or two.
Only problem is that it can be hard to find it on DVD, or at least it was a nightmare to do so here. The version I ended up getting was a bootleg, but at least the quality was okay.

I may catch some flack here for recommending this over the original versions, but I'd recommend the Robotech Saga. It's actually an adaptation of three distinct series into one larger series, where each series became something like a season of the larger story (they did it to meet syndication requirements in the USA, since none of the series on their own was long enough to make it). I never saw the original shows, but I grew up on Robotech and I loved it. I'm also not really sure if the original series ever got a widespread release in the west. I think the overall themes of each series were kept, mostly names and some content was changed to link the three previously unrelated stories together.
Each part of it deals with one of the three Robotech Wars.
- First War - Robotech: The Macross Saga (adapted from The Super Dimension Fortress Macross)
- Second War - Robotech: The Masters (adapted from Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross)
- Third War - Robotech: The New Generation (adapted from Genesis Climber MOSPEADA)
Out of the three of them, The New Generation is the one that received the least alteration during adaptation. It's a great series, you might find a few bits odd here and there though (the ability of music to convince the aliens to change sides springs to mind).
As a bonus, because it's considered such a classic series, it's generally very easy to pick up in a collection that has all three series. I regularly see it in stores here.
I am going to try to see it in 3D the second time I see it.
Too bad it came in third place this weekend with 38mil.

Let him watch the...questionable...robotech first, show him the unbridled glory of true macross when he is a bit older, including the recent macross frontier. Also see if you can find mospeada and southern cross, they have become hard to find in recent years.

gundam wing might be a bit...much for a ten year old. It glorifies terrorist activity and has a few twists that might be confusing. I would recommend you watch it first and then decide. It is important to note that I hate gundam wing, seed, x, 00 and the derivatives- I love the original UC gundam, and I find g gundam humourous.

Gun buster has similar themes, but the nudity wouldn't be cool for the kidlet, methinks.
Luckily, it's only in a couple places, and scenes you can skip on a DVD.

also the ending of gunbuster may not make sense to a ten year old- i had to have it explained to me and then I had to pick my jaw up off the floor.
I would also suggest anything in the king of braves series such as gaogaigar and jdekker, also teknoman is awesome as noted above. He is a bit young for the cheesecake laden godannar, but he should watch the arguable prequel- perhaps the greatest giant robot series ever made- DANGAIO!
Freehold, your knowledge of Mecha reminds me of two pals of mine. That's a good thing.
Also, GaoGaiGar was a classic. I watched it with a childhood friend when I was like 10 or something.
I have nearly zero knowledge of this whole giant fighting robot genre. Still loved the movie.
I was surprised by the acting. I expected worse; it was actually decent. Some people have complained about all the fights being at night or in rain... *shrugs* I prefer my fights in gaming to happen in moody environs, so why would i care here.
I'd see it again if I had the time. :)

I dunno if I'd say it was questionable. While I obviously can't compare it to the original series story, and I would have preferred that it had been left in it's original form as much as possible, there has to be a reason that it was so popular, and still is today. I think it's held up pretty well, and I still sit down for a Robotech marathon now and then.
While I am interested in seeing the original to see what the differences are, I can't help but feel that I'd find it a bit weird to essentially be watching the footage but have different dialogue and characters to deal with.

I call it questionable because I really really don't like this type of editing/dubbing/rewriting. The story was completely changed, especially the butchering that was done with southern cross and mospeada. I do still own the boxed set for robotech and it is next to the boxed set for macross. But I will never forgive Carl macek or harmony gold.

True, the ending was a bit rushed, and in black and white due to shortage of funds, but still one of my all time favs. Whenever I hear "march of the Exelion" I get goose bumps.

EDIT:Ninja'd by thejeff due to my inability to stop myself from writing replies the length of essays. Well said sir.
I guess I just don't feel quite as strongly about it as you. I don't really see the need for them to be forgiven at all, given that it was a different time, and most anime to come over through the 80s and early 90s was pretty strongly reworked anyway. For a couple of non-mecha examples, look at Samurai Pizza Cats (turned into a farcical comedy due to the decision to just completely rewrite the script) and Sailor Moon (first two seasons chopped and changed ridiculously, and after that major plot points retconned and removed).
I can't say I like the idea of it either, in fact I have a strong distaste for peoples work being bastardised like that, but I try look at it this way. Without things like Robotech, a lot of people may not have been introduced to anime. So in some ways it could be seen to have helped pave the way for a larger fanbase in the west, and helped create demand for the proper series. Not saying it was right for them to make the changes they did, merely pointing out that it may have had some positive outcomes.
Again, without having seen the original shows, I can't comment on what they did to the story. I knew that Southern Cross was significantly altered, but I was always under the impression that Genesis Climber MOSPEADA was the one that was left alone for the most part and just had things like the names of the aliens changed to make it fit continuity.
That said, I'll try to make an effort to track down the originals and see what I think of them. Honestly, I normally watch things dubbed unless the English dub is truly woeful, or I know that they've made significant changes to the plot in the dub (I'm looking in your direction Twilight of the Dark Master). It's not that I dislike reading subtitles, it's more that for me television time tends to be time I spend doing other things as well, like reading or writing. So it's a bit easier for me if I don't have to worry about the subtitles.
I have very strong feelings on the sub vs dub issue that I will not go into here, but I would thithink my position obvious.

is that the background music to dangaio? Link me to the song.
I have very strong feelings on the sub vs dub issue that I will not go into here, but I would thithink my position obvious.Just out of curiousity, did you watch Robotech when it first aired in the US? Were you already into anime at the time? Or did you come across it later on?
If it was later, do you think that has any effect on your opinion? I know my fondness is at least partly due to nostalgia and more to the lack of previous exposure to anything comparable.
I grew up in an astonishingly strict household. I couldn't watch tv during the week and only for a little while on the weekend. We didn't get cable until I was in high school. I wanted to watch the show badly as a kid but I only heard about it from friends and saw snatches of it when I snuck to watch tv when mom wasn't looking. I read the book series as a kid and spent years huntingthe academy comics stuff down in comic book stores. It would not be until about 94, At the first convention I ever went to, that I ever saw a full episode without fear that I would be caught or it being a special occasion.
Then in high school I met my friend who introduced me to anime properly. I discovered that the wool had been pulled over my eyes and that the entirely of the storyline I had tracked down and pieced together was made up by an executive who just wanted to make money at the expense of a serious artist. I went sub and never looked back.

Fair enough. We're all entitled to our own opinions on it.
Personally dub vs sub has very little effect on me. As I said, I prefer dub when possible except under certain circumstances, but most of the stuff I watched in high school was subbed.
I would point out though that although some anime series do still have significant differences in translation (particularly the 4kids sort of stuff), it's far more common these days for dubs to be faithful adaptations. Often I'll go back to a show I've recently watched and, out of a sense of curiosity, rewatch it in Japanese with English subs to see just what has changed. Most of the differences I've found in recent dubs have been more to do with making the speech patterns fit the English language better, and swapping out the occasional idiom, in the interests of having it make more sense to an audience that may not be familiar with the original culture.
But, I can respect your decision to watch with subs as a preference. As long as you're doing what you enjoy, then I think it's all good.
Thanks a bunch for the suggestions guys. I will see how many of these I can track down. :)
Freehold, your interpretation of Gundam Wing and mine are a bit different I think. It has been a few years since I watched it though, so I'll look at it again before I show it to the kidlet. It might still be a bit old for him. It's always a fine line to walk trying to figure out what is and is not age appropriate for him to watch.

Gundam Wing is one that I had trouble finishing. I think around the halfway point it started to lose me... one day I'll go back to it.
A few other suggestions for when the kidlet is a bit older.
- Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion - Absolutely gorgeous to watch, really well written, and has some great mecha designs and fights in it (falls under the same category of Real Robot that the Gundam shows normally do, the mecha are commonplace humanoid tanks called Knightmare Frames). It can get very over the top though, and does have significant amounts of fan service (the second season dials that up to 11)
- Neon Genesis Evangelion - This one shouldn't need any explanation. It's a mindscrew, pure and simple. I started watching this one when I was about 10, but it took a long time for it to make any sense to me, and the ending and movies still don't entirely gel with me
- RahXephon - This ties with Code Geass for the position of favourite animated series for me. It starts out as an Evangelion clone, using Mayan religion rather than the Kabbalistic influences of Eva. In the end I enjoyed it much more, and found that the ending actually made a lot of sense as long as I took the time to think about it a little bit.
I could name countless more, but I'll leave it there for now.

Saw it yesterday. It was a stupid movie, but it new it was stupid and didn't take itself too seriously so it worked out alright for what it was. We laughed and had a pretty decent time. It was a much more enjoyable film then Man of Steel or Star Trek Into Darkness was. I got to leave the theater feeling like I had enjoyed myself.
(If you want current anime with giant robots and things Valvrave just finished up its first season. It is...interesting... Also the knowledge that someone green lit a Prometheus sequel makes me sad.)

Well, if you insist... but it'll have to wait until I've slept, been to work, and then dragged some of my colleagues out to see Pacific Rim after work. It's currently 2:00 AM here, which means it's well past time for me to be asleep.

am currently going back and forth between the devil is a part timer and attack on titan. Have one ep of titan left, will watch vavalve next. It comes from Tomino, no way it can be bad.
