>fights are almost exclusively "robot goes punch" (the russian mech's gimmick is literally just "punches harder"), hardly any creative choreography besides rare moments like picking up the ship as a weapon>endless loredumps to expand on kaiju but in the end they're depicted exclusively as big dumb beasts with no real unique behaviors to define one from another>can't even tell what the fuck is going on most of the time in either of the sea night scenes Why do people like this movie so much again?
The fights were heavy and brutal.
>>222874661for the time it was unique and nice
Id use a spear
>>222874690>and brutalYour average Ultraman episode is more brutal than most of this movie. We didn't even get to see some King Kong-esque jaw unhinging or plasma blasting down their throats or anything.
>>222874709get this man a directors chair
The fact this got a shittier sequel with that wide hipped nog has an extreme detraction of the original
>>222874661>Why did people like it?It feels more genuine. None of this magical "fps" bullshit.Big bots whack big monsters. And it lasts.
>>222874661>Robots can stand at the same height out of the water anywhere in the middle of the ocean>Kaiju need to follow a specific formula on when they can cross over and how many of them can cross at a time>Kaiju don't sneak around waiting for the rift to open to build up their forces before attacking>Kaiju can get into the upper atmosphere and have telepathy, they never use this to monitor humans to win fights>Charlie day is still psychically linked to kaiju after drifting meaning humans are capable of telepathy, they don't get into this in the second movie>kaiju have been attacking for years they only start making one with unique abilities near the end>old robot is better and wins because reasonsScientists should have been studying how the kaiju can be so fucking big because of the square-cubed law and make their own Evangelion/Mechagodzilla abomination to fight the Kaiju
>>222874661>bro you gotta watch this movie>90% of it is the most wooden acting you've ever seen
>>222875149it's a CGI focused action movie, it doesn't need good acting
>>222875082>This movie about cross-dimensional billions-years-old kaiju pets fighting nuclear-powered mechas...>... isn't very realistic, bro.I get the whole "these bots shouldn't stand in the ocean" and I'm willing to dismiss it as "well, maybe it's just the shoreline or a bay," but also, shut up.
>>222875220The robot fights are a collective 15-20 minutes....
>>222875082They should have studied The Holy Bible and used prayer to stop the “kaiju” which were actually demons.
>>222875230That's not a chipmunk, retard.
>>222875235cgi is expensive
>>222875082Charlie day's tattoos were badass.
>>222875317Right, "drama llama," sorry.
>>222875149Charlie Hunnam was doing his best Sam Worthington impression
Call me stupid, but why didn't they just make big guns to shoot the kaiju in the head instead of robots punching them? Or if it HAS to be close quarters then what about a pile bunker? The punching is just stupid
>>222875230They had Archimedes boat shoes to let them walk on water.>>222875305>bottom of the ocean near the rift is crystal clear>ayylmaos live in crystal clear water on the other side of the rift>Kaiju blood "pollutes" the planetTurns out the mechas were built because bourgeousie capitalists didn't want to stop making billions polluting the world. Living as a communist telepathic hivemind is better than living in your own filth as a "rugged individual".>>222875220Then why didn't they get a hotter girl for the Rei Ayanami insert?
>>222874661fights are panch? oh no! no panchy fites nononoI love when retards describe something and then expect everyone else to take it as a scathing review. How do you even manage to tie your shoelaces, mongo?
>>222874661It was sincere. And unapologetic. If it were made now it would be pumped full of irony and meta humor
>>222874661Fights were good, just a shame all the robots jibbed immediately.
>>222875595Because you didn't watch the movie, or if you did, you were looking at your phone and didn't realize that they have to try to avoid spilling kaiju blood as much as possible
>>222876270a ridiculous tongue-in-cheek construction
>>222876312Well that's what the movie operated on and I answered your question. Run along now
>>222875595You're stupid
>>222875967>Then why didn't they get a hotter girl for the Rei Ayanami insert?werent movies back then trying to appeal to the chinese audience by throwing in chinese actors? independence day did the same thing
why didn't the aliens just send through blood-bag kaijus to explode over an area if the blood is such a major issue?
>>222876412>Chinese actors >Rinko Kikuchi>>222876471They should have made the kaijuu big titty giantess waifus, asking for stream donations and subs to their only fans.
>>222876471Because the crew wanted to make a fun little movie and not a logic laden slog for some faggot on 4chan
>>222876343And yet they added swords and bombs causing the aliens to bleed everywhere WTF NIGGER?!!
I want more movies with big, stompy mechs. Battletech movie when?
>>222874736To be fair, it's hard to top Ultraman in terms of kaiju brutality. Maybe Gamera comes close, but Ultraman gets insane.
Truth nuke Say what you will about bayformers but atleast it doesn't make giant robots boring
>>222874661This is a (You) issue.
>>222877376Front mission 3 or zone of enders.
>>222874661Why can't they just make an anime faithful live action Evangelion?
>>222880020No one on earth has the talent or money except Anno and he doesn't feel like it.
>>222880027The fact that he made the Rebuilds proves that Anno probably doesn't have the talent either.
>>222880020No studio has the balls to pot 14 year old actresses in those plugsuits
>>222874661muh anime influences
>>222875584charlie hunnam cant act for shit, but he at least has charisma and LOOKS like a movie star
>>222876993better to have them as a last resort ajd have to clean up radiation than to lose the jaeger and the pilots
>>222880020i liked the little nods to EVA in pacific rim>orange liquid fills their masks when they strap in to the jaeger>raleigh and mako drift for the first time and mako loses alignment and almost blasts the command center>the jaeger theme could be a distant bastard cousin of the angel attack themei cant remember the rest but there were a couple more
>>222875235>>222875439yeah. they went for quality not quantity. although i wish some of the fights could have been a bit longer. but less is more as they say.
Nobody in this thread even knows what a Zaku II is.
>>222874661>hardly any creative choreography besides rare moments like picking up the ship as a weaponThat's the point you dingus. The director was going for realism to a point. If these giant robots were real, they would have next to no dexterity or finesse. It would literally be tons of metal slugging tons of flesh, and whichever can endure more of a beating wins.
>>222880052Rebuilds weren't directed by Anno.
>>222881164that is retarded
>>222881197no u
>Sword activated
>>222881316you would think that they would start every fight with the sword out. the entire world is depending on them not to fail
>>222874661Now do Man of Steel which this was competing with
>>222881377You dont understand filmmaking
>>222881377A temporary fix. Eventually there would be sword proof kaiju. Because the aliens would get tired of losing that way.
>>222874661didn't they burn a kaiju with the exaust from the mech's reactor?
>>222883205They also froze one with a coolant dump.
>fight for hours>suddenly remember you have a sword that oneshots kaiju
>>222875082>They should make an EvangelionThis happens in the second movie
>>222883444They made the mistake of making MP evas and let the guy who got mind raped be in charge.
>>222881083I've watched Gundam and Zeta Gundam. It's alright but not the best. Legend of the Galactic Heroes is infinitely better.
>>222874661Del Toro always has great aesthetics in his movies so they're enjoyable to watch. Film is largely a visual medium, many modern filmmakers don't seem to understand this.
>>222874661>fights are almost exclusively "robot goes punch" (the russian mech's gimmick is literally just "punches harder"), hardly any creative choreography besides rare moments like picking up the ship as a weaponYeah it's the literal 6y/o's dream movie in which you pick up 2 toys and smash their faces together repeatedly.You also missed the point. Using any beeg WMD will explode kaiju and intoxicate the world in record time, fists is one of the few vaild options.And even then, you didn't watch the movie? Kaiju get killed with a plasma gun, sword, armblades, rockets, chest flames. Fists are just filler. That ship should have snapped like a twig the moment Gypsy picked it up. The builders should have their cocks sucked a million times over for the godly constitution that ship possessed. Toon physics.>endless loredumps to expand on kaiju but in the end they're depicted exclusively as big dumb beasts with no real unique behaviors to define one from another'Cause they are. The Precursors were introduced and the focal point of that lore. They did the equivalent of sending 100m Jaegers through the rim. Just more biologically advanced.>can't even tell what the fuck is going on most of the time in either of the sea night scenesCheck your eyes bro. There are lights everywhere. The camera work is far more stable compared to bayverse cancer.You could have nitpicked stuff like Gypsy standing up in front of Knifehead or Eureka suddenly deciding ''guess i'll just kill myself''.
>>222874661As the one and only movie because there's no sequels, they just didn't get a chance to expand upon it. That's all.A theoretical pacific rim 2 would have chest beams and eye lasers and arm cannons and so on and the kaiju would likewise be equipped with acid breath and plasma beams and the last one might even have masers to fuck over the jaegers
>>222874661>Big Robots Punch Big Monsters>Pure entertainment>10/10 Unadulterated Distilled Fine Kino
Pomp & circumstance, mijo? That's all it ever was
Needing 2 pilots is stupid, ESPECIALLY since they didn't add any split capability. None of them could break into smaller bots. Didn't del taco ever watch fucking getter?
when it came out, i watched it twice in the theater. loved charlie day in it and the soundtrack that comes on after the movie ends. stilll listen to it time to time
the colors, lighting and contrast in this movie are incredible.
>>222874690The fights were retarded and weightless. Everyone jobbed except the hero
>>222874661Gordo del Taco is a hack
>>222874709they explain in the first 5 minutes why they use blunt force trauma instead of edged weapons
>>222875082>old robot is better and wins because reasonsOld robot wins because unlike the other ones Gypsy wasnt active for years so the aliens didnt know they had to counter her or how.
>>222874661the rig is cool
>>222886828And then they break it by using edged weapons.Also>no one ever bleeds from prolonged blunt force trauma
>>222886901Yeah as a very last resort. The kaiju blood is super toxic.The main reason they fight in the water is to keep the blood as far away from land as possible
>>222886939>The kaiju blood is super toxic.And then they show people running in to eviscerate the body and not having any problem.Why cant they use edged weapons in the water?Why would you WANT to fight in the water where the blood will spread through the currents?
>>222886971yo retard I'm just giving you the rules the movie setYou're not supposed to operate a mill without eye protection but there are fucking retards who still do it with safety squints.>why cant they use edged weapons in waterI literally told you they're trying to minimize the bloodspill because its toxic to our enviroment>Why would you WANT to fight in the water where the blood will spread through the currents?Because if it spills it goes in the water where its dilluted and not in a populated city center where a fight would also endanger the infrasctructure and civilians. And again even in the water they rely on blunt force trauma to kill the kaiju if at all possible
>>222886971here's some spoonfeeding for you faghttps://youtu.be/bGbU_20InKM?t=132
>>222887027>yo retard I'm just giving you the rules the movie setI get that. I am gently explaining to a fool that the movie broke its own rules.>they're trying to minimize the bloodspillA stab through the heart bleeds less than beating someone to death.>where its dillutedyou mean spread all across the world instead of the damage being contained>not in a populated citySo dont fight them in a city. Or drag them out of the city.you could stop them from getting to the city if you stabbed them instead of beating them to a BLOODY pulp.Not to mention - half the fights we saw were in a city. So they were doing really bad at that. Why not try a different tactic?
>>222875082>old robot is better and wins because reasonsWhen isn't old shit better? Better made. Made to last. Made to work as intended. No corners cut. They put more effort into a 5 cent child's toy truck in the 50s than they currently put into $4k phones.How can you even START to criticize this when you're entire life is filled with evidence of old being better quality and held to higher standards? Even plant life tells you this. All of our produce is LESS nutritious than it was in the 50s. Everything gets worse and worse as technology progresses. So I ask again, why WOULDN'T the old robot be better?
>>222887147>half the fights we saw were in a city.There's only one fight that ends up in the city and its because the aliens deploy their built for purpose counters to the main jaegers.It was never meant to end up that way.Thats why they always deploy in the ocean, but that specific case it was a surprise event that broke the usual pattern
>>222874661This movie is for autistic individuals btw
>>222887209>There's only one fight that ends up in the city>posts video from another fight in a cityUh-huh.So how was there an entire black market around scavenging parts if "only one...I mean two fights" have happened in a city?Because the movie cant follow its own rules.>its because the aliens deploy their built for purpose countersSounds like a good reason to use different tactics.Like spears.
>>222887273>the black market solely relies on local acquisition otherwise they just give upHey nigger, they fly secret coke planes into america to smuggle drugs. Drug dealers don't just suck their teeth and say "shucks there's no coke producers here in tantus county arkansas, guess I'll just get a desk job"
>>222887308So you think the black markets that were CLEARLY set up and ready to scavenge a beast on land...have what?Deep Sea submersibles that can sneakily go down a few thousand meters to pick up pieces?Why does it hurt you so much to recognize that the movie didnt follow its own rules?
>>222887273The video is the intro that shows how the jaeger program became a thingNo shit they didnt know how to fight the kaiju at first. They developed the specific way of fighting them through experience. I'm talking about the timeline of the movie, not the setup>Sounds like a good reason to use different tactics.They didnt know. Did you even watch the movie? it was an ambush. The humans had no idea that the kaiju were being designed by an intelligent race strictly to counter the jaegers. Thats the entire point of the cringe scientist plugging himself into the kaiju brain
>>222887349>No shit they didnt know how to fight the kaiju at first.So cool - there have been MULTIPLE fights in cities. Not just one.Glad you can recognize that error.>They didnt know.Anon did, which is why they said they'd use a spear.
>>222887347How many videos of drug subs being blown up does trump need to post until you fucking understand just how massive and extensive the black market is when the product is profitable? What the fuck do you think they do with the money?
>>222887375>So cool - there have been MULTIPLE fights in cities. Not just one.and its there where they realized its a really bad idea and switched to fighting them at sea
>>222887393>videos of drug subsHow many of them can go even 100 meters under water?It's very nice you can imagine all sorts of fantasy that isnt anywhere to be seen.What we see if the black market operating on land, and having zero concern about blood being dangerous.Because the movie breaks its own rules.
>>222887429It's worse at sea, and they usually make it to land anyway.Why didnt they realize punching something so it bleeds more and longer before it dies is a bad idea, and just stat stabbing them with spears?
>>222887445>A movie with giant mecha robots is fine>a rich kingpin cant buy a submarine or fund fishing boats to go and fish out kaiju partsconsider suicide
>>222887462>a movie sets up rules>it breaks those rulesNaw, I'd rather make you mad enough to kill yourself.
>>222887461>It's worse at sea, and they usually make it to land anyway.No it isnt and it doesnt usually make it to land>Why didnt they realize punching something so it bleeds more and longer before it dies is a bad idea, and just stat stabbing them with spears?Punching something has a lower chance of making it bleed than it is to stab or cut it. im fucking done with this, my last (you)
>>222887482Yes it is, and yes they do.Environmental disasters are much worse when spread around instead of contained.And we saw multiple times in the films that they make it to land and fight in cities.>Punching something has a lower chance of making it bleed than it is to stab or cut it. Not if you are punching it to the point of death.Run along, child.
>>222887478It didn't break anything, you're just attention starved
>>222887587>im fucking done with this, my last (you)You set rules just like the movie, and you break that rule just like the movie.No wonder you think it's fine.I am amused by how mad you must be right now.Are you going to be forced to reply again, or will you slink away with the shreds of your dignity?
