Pacific Rim - Grading and Discussion

I think the only hope for a sequel is if it becomes a massive hit in China.

^ Awww crap.

Hopefully they'll make him less....manic.

Well crap, I was going to find the article and link it here just so I could back up my statement. I know I read it somewhere...

Anyways, as for Charlie, well I've been a fan of his since "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia." He's not the most versatile actor in the world, so when I knew he was going to be in this movie I pretty much knew what to expect. I personally didn't have a problem with him though.

^ Wikipedia? I posted about that a few days ago.

Ive heard (but not seen) that some tracking has PR having longer legs than the movies that finished ahead of it last week. Deservedly so.

2010s:

1. Inception(2010)

The wallpaper creator at the official site is pretty cool.

People have been having fun (heh) with the Jaeger designer, too.

Edit: Holy crap, two of those from the article are ones I made...!

The Jaeger designer needed more options.

Alright, this is my favorite movie of the summer.

I loved the attitude, the characters, the music, the effects, the actors, the monsters, and the robots.

I really liked those cool RGB laser displays used in the movie, too.

 

[Unicron]

Going to see it in a bit. Looking forward to it, since I first saw the trailers.

 

[davejames]

I'd love to see this climb up the box office chart this weekend, but I have a feeling The Conjuring and Turbo are the ones everyone is going to be flocking to.

 

[Unicron]

It was fun. I liked it. Not sure if there will be a potential sequel, going by the last portion of the movie.

 

[sojourner]

The producers have already suggested that a sequel might have something to do with "drifting" with the kaiju.

GDT said in an interview that I saw on IGN that they wrote a very detailed outline, although now I can't remember how long he said it was. He made it pretty clear that they have a lot of material for the sequel, and the video game that he is hoping to make.

 

[SicOne]

Didn't Gipsy Danger's final act pretty much put the kibosh on any sequel?

 

[sojourner]

The aliens made one wormhole, they can make another.

I wouldn't worry about a sequel (I'm still hoping for a prequel). Remember Hellboy II:The Golden Army. That just came out of nowhere.

I wouldn't worry about ever seeing anything from this movie again. It's on track two be one of the top 4 flops of the summer making only $39 million in it's opening weekend.

Like Hellboy, Pacific Rim is going to be a fan favorite.

Honestly what kind of world do we live in when below average stuff like Man of Steel and Star Trek into Darkness makes a ton of money and good movies like Pacific Rim gets ignored.

^ Superman and Star Trek are known properties and Pacific Rim is not only unknown, but probably comes off like another Battle: Los Angeles. And besides, not everyone thinks that Man of Steel or Into Darkness were below average.

People also complain about the lack of originality. As for Battle: Los Angeles, there was more damage in Man of Steel and Star Trek into Darkness.
