I'll just say again about Pacific Rim: It's a 100% satire of giant robot movies and anime. I'd say it's on par with the likes of Naked Gun! and Airplane!, without being as out-and-out comical about the references. I suppose a better comparison would be Hot Fuzz - a film that clearly knows its genre all too well and lovingly sends it up while doing its best to show off all the coolest parts of the genre.

TIL people watched Pacific Rim not for absolutely stunning, amazing giant robot action but expecting a serious, intricate plot.
Bwahahahahahaha.
Pacific Rim was absolutely glorious for what it was: a ballet involving 100 meter tall dancers.
How you like it hot, 'cause it's 40 degree Celsius every day lately.
Watched Avatar, meh.
Haven't watched Pacific Rim, want to.
Haven't watched Godzilla, meh.
Paintings dont move, films do.
Do you realise how much effort went into it? Sometimes a film with a complex plot distracts from the settings.
Again the noble savage plot is old as time. If i was going to compare it to a movie it would Be Dances with Wolves, not Pocahontis. Even recent versions like The Last Samurai was fun to watch.
"Would you please let me join your p-p-party?

Maybe they should rename it to "Fucking-rare-but-still-obtainium"
Granberia?
So much money on visuals, no money on making an actually semi-original story
Doing jumps, jump squats, down/up lunges, and planks in between kickboxing and having to follow up almost right after with roundhouses. PLS.
I'm dead. I died, again. RIP in pieces
