Pacific Rim

[Octoberist]

I love how some movie comes out and people bust out of the woodwork talking about how it's ripping off some obscure property that like a handful of people know about.

It's because people online (fanboys) lack perspective.

It's looking fantastic so far.

 

[MadVillainy]

Glad to see Charlie Hunnam in a big Hollywood movie. He's great in Sons of Anarchy

 

[craigdbfan]

They look incredible. Time for some mech action.

 

[Abudefduf]

Looks great. But why am I even surprised, it's effing Del Toro.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Looks pretty damn incredible. I'd be delighted if we get images of the kaiju next.

 

[rashad]

Amazing.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Nice and shiny!

 

[Doctor Jones]

Needs more Idris Elba.

 

[Kane52630]

Needs more explosions.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Get Idris Elba in the foreground with a giant monster and giant robot fighting in the background with a naked woman on Elba's side, with explosions all around for good measure, and I would die a happy man.

nice gi joe costumes

 

[BrollySupersj]

Those blue things in the back aren't the Jagers right? >.>

 

[DarkSovereignty]

they look like the apparatus that connects them to the mech, notice the back harness thing.

Rinko my love, you look fantastic. :heart:

I'm glad that Guillermo described the mechs as "gorgeous". Please let them be somewhat Gundam like in appearance.

This isn't a jab at other anime with mechs but the Gundam series easily has the most beautiful designs when it comes to mechs. Really hope Del Toro took a page from there.

Are you maybe talking about newer Gundams? I haven't really followed the modern series, but most of the Gundam I've seen is the older stuff, and I don't dig the look of those much at all. Very stiff and somewhat dull looking, I thought. I think Evangelion had some very interesting designs, and there was another show, too, much more recent that I forget that also had some very lovely designs.

 

[craigdbfan]

Different strokes for different folks.

 

[Lord Fanny]

I dunno, probably, but like I said, I haven't seen any Gundam series since....god, I don't know...Gundam Wing, I think it was called. They didn't look bad to me, but just kind of dull, outside a few standouts. I don't know, I guess I'm shallow, because I like the flashy looking stuff

 

[Clu]

del has never let me down, I expect this to be everything and more. everything shown looks fantastic.

 

[Paroxysm]

I hope the mechs look something like the Eva Units from Evangelion.

I wouldn't mind if they looked like Gundams though.

 

[BrollySupersj]

Evangelion's aren't mecha. They are giant biological organisms covered in cybernetics and armor. So they're basically pilotable cyborgs. Just an FYI. As for the Jager's having looks that are comparable to Gundams, I sure as hell don't mind, (points to avatar). I'm a total Gundam nut. But I understand there are a lot of radical Gundam designs out there. Some from from early Gundam SEED, or the Universal Century would be cool. I think a design like Buster Gundam would be neat going up against kaiju.

No duh, I said I want the mechs to LOOK LIKE Eva Units. FYI
