I did as well, and would love to again. It's a great 3D experience in IMAX!

Too bad it's limited to LA. :(

The two scientists were my least favorite part of PR. They were more annoying than funny.

I'm with you on this one. Additionally, IMO most of the "humor" in the Transformers films was low-ball, forced, and decidedly not funny. I didn't find it particularly endearing. Ah well, different strokes for different folks. It's what makes the world go 'round. ;)

Wow. Welcome back to the 1980's, comrades.

Oh, I agree with you completely Edwin. I *liked* Pacific Rim and also think that it was far, far better than any of the three Bay films. I think that the "Transformers rip-off" perception was partly inevitable (giant robots and lots of destruction) and partly poor marketing.

I've heard a number of people say that they skipped Pacific Rim "because it looks like a Transformers rip-off".

I'm not so sure. There's money being invested in R-rated films - "Prometheus", "Django Unchained", "The Cabin in the Woods", "Evil Dead", "Zero Dark Thirty", "Ted", "Looper", "Dredd", "Olympus Has Fallen", "Identity Thief" - all recent R-rated movies that have done fairly well. But I think that...

I wish he'd been successful in getting "At the Mountains of Madness" off the ground. *That* is the Del Toro film I've been waiting for.

Del Toro says no Director's Cut of Pacific Rim and DVD/Blu-ray releases comparatively light on extras, etc.: http://collider.com/pacific-rim-alternate-endings-directors-cut/

To each their own. I thought that Pacific Rim WAS fun and DID have an emotional core. The audience at my screening was totally into it. The film had just the right amount of humor for me, and I also thought that the three main characters were well realized. Elba's Pentecost (HATE the name...

Thanks Sam. I'll check that out when I get home this evening.

1977 baby...

Or DEVOlution. Those guys from Akron were right... ;)

Depressing indeed. IMO all the evidence we need to conclude that the human race as a species is doomed is the fact that Grown Ups 2 beat out Pacific Rim at the BO this weekend. Pathetic. I swear, with each passing day I'm more and more convinced that "Idiocracy" isn't a movie. It's prophecy.

Just got back from a 2D Atmos presentation. I pretty much effing loved it! Despite it's influences and homages, I thought that Del Toro managed to put some real originality up on the screen. The film felt fresh. Good story, solid characterizations (with the exception of the Tweedle-dee and...

I'm pretty confident that if there's a director out there who can elevate a film of this genre above cliche and repetition it's Del Toro, and I'm willing to roll my $15 worth of dice to find out.

The reviews so far are pretty positive, with some of them almost glowing. Pacific Rim is currently sitting at 75% on the TomatoMeter. Looking forward to it.

Guillermo is my nerd hero.

I'm ALL in for this. Don't let us down Del Toro!
