Pacific Rim

[desura]

Watched the movie last night. Was kind of meh.

 

[OCGuy]

Sounds like a special kind of A2M that you can only get in the Philippines.

 

[Punter]

Very stupid movie. Approaching Battlefield Earth territory of crap.

 

[KeithTalent]

Watched it on Saturday. For a movie about robots fighting monsters it sure was fucking boring.

movie was badass for what it is. also the soundtrack in the movie is awesome. it is a great disc to demo off your system if you have a good one.

oh, and i think i said this in the other 5 threads based on this movie, and the movie thread.

Obviously you guys watched the wrong movie. The much less popular but much more highly rated Atlantic Rim is where it's at.

 

[lozina]

Its better than Pacifc Rimjob

 

[waggy]

i didn't mind it. i enjoyed it for what it was. giant robots fighting giant monsters.

only thing i didn't like was that it took 2 to run the robot.

 

[Pardus]

Was fast forwarding though it.

 

[Ns1]

only thing i didn't like was there wasn't moar robots.

It was great until I read a website afterwards that said it was dumb because it would be easier to kill the monsters with a railgun from space than fight them....

 

[ThinClient]

I thought it was great.

I don't take movies seriously so I don't get why others rage over how evil this movie is or whatever.

or gargamel could have put a magic spell on them.

or possibly gandolf the white wizard could have came storming in on horses and killed them all.

man think of all the possibilities.

Watched it this weekend. It was a pretty stupid movie, completely non-sensical in almost all respects.

They just sit around punching monsters. Wow, great job, then after everybody gets their asses kicked we finally bring out the huge sword chainsaw that can kill the monsters pretty easily.

The usage of "tactics" was laughable. Then the whole ripping the head off of the jaegers. So you have all of this experience fighting these things and you can't even put the cockpit in the torso and protect the pilots more?

As noted in the other thread, the sword was a later design.

Yeah we'll just put the cockpit right next to the nuclear engine. In fact, we can put them in the same room.

Nuclear engineers can be pretty close to a reactor and not get much radiation. How big do you think a submarine is? Smaller than that freighter they were using as a bat.

 

[Maximilian]

Wat? I thought it was good :\

Later? You mean, later than when they were punching the thing all over Hong Kong and only used it when they were mid-air?

 

[PowerYoga]

I still don't understand why they had to build giant robots instead of making a bunch of tanks that can mount the super chest missile stuff that they were shooting as the ultimate weapon. Or make tanks out of the same stuff that freighter was made out of.

Damn, I didn't even think of Gargamel!!!!!

oh i see what you mean. that would have made for a less interesting fight scene.

Yes and this movie is entirely based in reality where the writers did their best to stay true to the natural laws and realistic portrayal of storytelling.

 

[richardycc]

it was a cool movie, I actually bought the 3D blu-ray combo pac when it was on sale. The dumbest thing was walking on the elliptical machine thingy to make the robots walk.
seriously, that's the best you can come up with in ~2020?
