It's just a phase. People calling stuff that not the genre although that may be true. It will go away like "torture porn" and "jump scare porn." Okay I've never heard anyone say "jump scare porn" but its real.

I'm already tiring of the buzz term "disaster porn."

Me too mostly because I don't get it. If I'm paying 13 dollars to go see a movie, more destruction the better. I can't wait for this.

TO Hypers who have seen the movie: Is the story well done behind Pacific Rim (I seem to recall Del Toro saying that he wanted to take the story past the action, to showcase themes of family and the sort) or is it another disasterporn.avi?

Much more city destruction in Man of Steel.

I like buzz words just as much as the next person and who knows I might have used the term before but it's played out. Just say you don't want to see anymore films with disaster elements. I don't want every movie to feature disaster set pieces either. Mostly I just want to watch a good movie no matter which genre it falls into.

I think they stop saying them because they stop getting made, less so because it's a phase to call it that kind of stuff.

So lucky. In 3D I assume? I would like to know how that is since I want to see this in IMAX my first time but its gonna come with 3D. If its pointless or just terrible I'll have to go with 2D.

I do believe it will be in 3d. I'll be seeing it not in IMAX but on what my local theater calls The Megascreen, Its about as tall as most IMAX screens I've seen but the aspect ratio is still far more retangular so it also very long. Its also one of only 2 theaters in the St. Louis area with a 4k projector. I'm not much for 3d in general but whenever I do see 3d movies I try to see it there as the effect works the best with their projector, which is always really bright.
 
I love this bit from the interview

There’s a great thing about Pacific Rim in that the heroism on display is really old fashioned. These characters have things that happened and backstories and complexities, but they’re not fighting to get revenge on the guy who killed their dad. They’re fighting to save the world. How important was it to you to have that old fashioned heroism?

So important. It goes back to the line ‘We’re canceling the apocalypse,’ which sounds like a stereotypically badass line, but I wasn’t trying to write a macho line. I was thinking about everyone talking about the 2012 predictions and the financial crisis and all that stuff, and I think we as a culture have an almost fetishistic resignation to the end times. It’s almost like we’re looking forward to saying ‘I told you so.’ I always found that unappealing, and I wanted this movie to be about no, we say when it’s over. We’re people. We can change the world. We get to say when we’re done. That’s what I wanted the movie to be about - not any one country or one flag, just all people coming together. Coming together and saying, ‘We’re going to do something about this. And if it’s crazy? To hell with it, we’ve accomplished crazy things before.’

So the embargo will lift today? I'm still very excited for this film.
 
Is word on the box office improving? *crosses fingers that'll be, yes*
 
I think he just meant crappy horror movie porn.

EDIT: The Wrap and The Hollywood Reporter has reviews up. The Wrap's is negative while THR is positive...I know THR is a trade paper/site but I hate when they mention box office in their reviews.

i am so calm this week. i will get an original scifi movie by a good director. i hope it makes the budget back because i think Mountain of Madness still has a chance.
 
Seems the review embargo has been lifted. Rotten Tomatoes posting a 80% fresh so far.

Rotten Tomatoes.
This should be interesting, not just with the numbers but with the fans(big fan presence for this) reception of said number.

Either way, what the critics think means little to me, I do hope they give it a fair shake though, those people always seem to want to push some agenda. However I think with this being an original scifi that doesn't look like it's going to set the box office aflame, chances are the agenda will be more on the positive side.
