Also, they charged me £2 for a small cornetto and the wafer was completely soggy throughout.
Should have gone for the new Peanut Butter Cup Ben and Jerry's - it's immense
I'd rate godzilla (1998)
over this as well.
maybe even cloverfield
definitely the mist
I just didn't find this movie believable and tbh did it really take it self seriously?
I'm sure kids love it though and the younger adults.
Saw this last night, really enjoyed it.
Only slightly ruined by some retards who bought their toddler to see it who had a tantrum every half an hour and had to be taken outside by one of them. I know it's a 12A but this kid was still in a pushchair for **** sake, why would you take a child that young to see a movie like that?
Come again? It's a fantasy movie about giant robots fighting giant aliens, why should it be believable?
Have your opinion by all means but don't be condescending with it, just paints you as childish. Comments like that are just necessary.

I can't believe the good reviews this is getting, I found it incredibly boring, the acting was poor and I know these kind of films are predictable but could they make a more predictable story? It just reminded me of a straight to DVD movie.
The CGI was great mind but I didn't like any of the actors even Idris
Plus they had a goon from Eastenders playing an Australian, surely they could have just picked someone from Neighbours or Home and Away

You mean you didn't find a movie about giant monsters coming through a portal in the ocean and fighting giant robots controlled with people's minds believable?
It's almost like it wasn't meant to be believable.
you can control games with your mind
I can't remember what the thing is called though.controlling robots isn't a great leap
the world just didn't seem believable and the acting was crap.
you can have a fantasy series and still have a believable experience that will make you forget your watching a movie at times because you are so immersed in the experience.
I disagree... and I really liked this film

No problem, I just think Independence Day is a much better summer film and they could have used a tiny bit more imagination before stealing its plot.
Fair enough, however surely that applies to nearly all kind of movies be it action, sci-fi, super heroes or even comedies where the amount of coincidences and feats performed by people would seem out of place with the real world.
At the end of the day I found Pacific Rim kept me fully engaged through the whole movie whereby everything which happened fit into the logic of the world which they built while the whole thing was fun. Compared to something like say Skyfall, where there were a few times I was taken out of the movie by actions performed which didn't really make sense to me, even though I enjoyed it.
They had dna? Unlikely
Tbh I expected it to be cheesy.. it was
I expected the acting to be poor - it was, especially the main actor
I expected cgi but didn't get enough
I wanted this to be a... Look what we can do with vfx, but I just wasn't in awe like when I sawavatar, ccan't put my finger on it, but want blown away

Seen this tonight -6/10
Didn't care about the cast.
Didn't care about the predictable story line.
Pointless linkage of minds to fight in the robots IMO?
I gave it more points due to the sheer awsomeness of the fight scenes. Some of them just had me feeling like a little kid with excitement.
Wanted this to be great, just wasn't. I'd watch for the fights tho, transformers meets cloverfield!

I loved pretty much everything about this film, to me it is the absolute perfect cinema experience.
The only things that were to me a bit annoying......
Accents..... specifically the English actors doing American or aussie accents, they were all garbage, if you want American accents get an American, if you want aussie get an aussie.
Helicopters.....6 or 8 helicopters capable of carrying a 2000 ton robot??????
(I don't know why this annoyed me so much when I accept giant robots fighting monsters without question)
That's it really, it felt massive and epic and all the things that so many sci-fi films should be but aren't.

Mil-Mi26 (1970s) - 22,480 shp - 20T lifting * 8 = 160T
Mil-Mi12 (1968) - 22,000 shp - 44T lifting * 8 = 352T
Quite a way off 2000T, but these are choppers built 40+yrs ago. With Pacific Rim set in the 2020s it's not far fetched at all to imagine how far they could push choppers, especially if you consider huge giant 2000T robots to be possible
That was one of the only things they actually explained....seemed fairly reasonable to me.

I might watch it tomorrow night but the only showing I can get are 3D or 3D iMAX and no 2D iMAX available.
Which one should I go for? 3D iMAX?

Yes
I saw it in 3D IMAX and I thought it was very well implemented. I'm not a huge fan of 3D either...
If there's one movie where you want to see it on a huge screen, then this is it.
