Pacific Rim 2

[redhawk23]

I never heard anything about it and it seems doubtful with the large cast of you g actors they've assembled from different countries. If anything I expect more Jaeger crews than the first film.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I believe the budget is smaller for the sequel though so I wasn't expecting a lot of new Jaegars or a few of them being on screen.

I am sure mentioned only having one Jaegar previously. Maybe it was from when Del Toro was still directing and things have changed since then.

First look at Pacific Rim: Uprising's new Jaegers!

 

[Bam-Bam]

Very reminiscent of Evangelion

Definitely with those things waist lines. The red one especially looks like Unit 2.

 

[TeeKay]

They all look like modernized and sleeker versions of the designs of the first movie. One looks like the character from Halo.

 

[Inhuman117]

they look fricking awesome give me a trailer now

Just the one of the left. Made me also think of Sideswipe with a bit of Baymax.
The right one could be Bulkhead.

Loving the new aesthetic choice.

What the hell happened? Del Toro's designs were unique and distinct. These look like generic robots. You'd think for a sequel they'd push the designs. These just look like the first wave of concept art for robots. Very safe looking.

I love Gypsy 2.0. Still Gypsy, but updated. I like that the other 2 are very different than each other. It doesn't quite feel as original as say Cherno Alpha and Crimson Typhoon, but I still like the look. Though, I am curious about the bruiser, since it kind of looks like his left hand may be a cannon, but hard to tell with it obscured.

budget most likely since it was cut.
The streamlining also made me think they made these mechs smaller.

 

[Sithborg]

I don't think you can make budget declarations until you see it on screen. This is just concept art.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Loving the new Jaegars, just watching the first movie now again, its still great. Wish GDT was still doing the sequel, but still looking forward to it.

This is not the actual CG models from Double Negative, though it gives you a good idea about the new streamlined designs.

It's just like how when we see cheap CG renders on kid's posters for The Force Awakens or even the original Pac Rim. So we can't rate the quality of the actual effects just yet.

Makes sense.

They look more refined which makes sense in-universe.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Well Striker Eureka was the most modern Jaegar in the first movie, and that was much sleeker than the others, so the designs for the new ones make sense.

I know some people said Pacific Rim ripped off Evangelion but those complaints are definitely valid with those designs.

 

[Lencho01]

Hmm...

 

[BrollySupersj]

The red one is weakest design. It looks like a updated Crimson Typhoon, but they just failed to channel what made that Jaeger look so damn awesome. The other two are nicer, those I like. I'm just hope they don't slack on the the kaiju.

 

[Lencho01]

Based on the designs, I'm gonna guess they'll move faster than the ones in the first film.

 

[Bam-Bam]

Yep, in this film they hired stunt men to mo-cap the Jaeger battles.

 

[Inhuman117]

now i hope next up we see some Kaijus

 

[BrollySupersj]

Yep, in this film they hired stunt men to mo-cap the Jaeger battles.

Not that I'm opposed to it, but I recall Del Toro and his team animated the jaegers movements from the ground up, to give the battles more weight.

I think mocapping jaegers will be cool, I just hope they don't look like they're lighter than a feather.

Yeah that was my first thought as well.

Yeah that's my worry, the Jaegars in the first movie felt so real as GDT specified showing that they had weight and bulk in a number of scenes. I hope in the sequel we don't get robots that are flying around all over the place.
