    I'm starting to get really fucking tired of people calling this some sort of ripoff/inspired from EVA.

    You'd think people who watch enough anime to know EVA would bother look a little more into this. Never mind that asides from robot fighting aliens, this has absolutely nothing in common with it.

    the term alien can be use to describe "beings or things foreign to the environment in which it now exists". The Kaijus in the movie are also not extraterrestrial since they came from the pacific ocean.

    They came from portal that was placed in the ocean (according to trailer).

    -

    Edit: This seems like a logical answer to the mecha vs. conventional weapon question.

    There is also a Facebook group with interesting pics that seem to just be low res screenshots from the movie lol

    I'm not sure if it's really a requirement to read this before watching the movie. But it does a good job at explaining the backstories of some of the characters.
    Stacker Pentecost (Idris Elba's character) got the best speeches.

    So it looks like the pilots feel damage that is done to the suit. Are they psychically linked to the suits as they pilot them?


    “For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”

    Not sure that I like the voices there... sounded rather cheezy.

    Yes, they do.
    Here's an explanation by the movie's screenwriter, Travis Becham:

    Quote Originally Posted by Travis Becham

You need to be able to sense the world around you, you need to be able to get neural feedback. Like when your hand picks up a cup, you can feel the cup in your fingers and you know how to apply enough pressure so you don't crush it. If it was just a numb connection you would have no way to gauge that. The uplink is necessary for that kind of control, but the downside of that is when the Kaiju hit you, you feel it because the sensors are there.

    Just saw the movie, it was very good. An easy way to win me over is to pump a shitload of style into a movie. They also took moments to put blatant humor in the movie, which was refreshing. The two scientists' performances stole the whole show, with the radiation damage guy being a close second. All of the shirtless guys win an easy third place in awesomeness.

    Two questions, though.

    Why did people have to wait for FOUR invasions until they started building Jaegars? Seriously?

    Why couldn't they just remote control the Jaegars lol.

    Someone is actively trying to make this movie a "flop." Why, I have no idea.

    The press was downplaying its revenue right from the start. Theaters in the US were giving it very few showings, even on its second weekend. My theater dropped to five shows (two in 3D and three in 2D), and a lot of the other theaters nearby were showing it less than four times a day.

    Yeah its one big conspiracy Or maybe it's a movie about giant robots with a lot of CGI and there is limited appeal to American audiences. It will probably do better in overseas markets.

    Transformers did well enough, though.

    Pac Rim made a little more than half than that, opening weekend though. :/

    Are Megan Fox's wiles that great?!
