Pacific Rim the movie (2013) - Guillermo del Toro

[South Burning]

I saw the trailer in a movie theater over the weekend, so now I know how it will look on the big screen. It was a little on the dark and obscured side, but it was still as clear as most big battle scenes in sci-fi movies are and the sound was very good. I think it will be a great sci-fi action flic and I cant wait to see it. The trailer also had a fairly close release date (which I forgot in all the excitement) so we won't have to wait long!

I saw the trailer in the theater too. I feel rather obliged to go see it. I have to, it is giant robots saving the Earth from giant monsters!.My inner child is hopping up and down and giggling and clapping with glee!

July 12, 2013, according to what I've been able to find.
Should be fun.

I've been vaguely aware of this film for a while and saw the trailer for it when I saw iron man 3 last night. Looks cool as hell, but the blatant ripoff of the portal voice drove me up the wall. I guess it's just a sign of the times and I shouldn't be surprised by yet another reminder of hollywood's inability to come up with anything original these days.

You do realize the reason they do have GLaDOS' voice in there was because Del Toro specifically asked for it there? More specifically, he asked Valve if he could have Ellen Mclain (GLaDOS' VA) do that voice acting for Pacific Rim, since he's a big fan of the games.

I like the portal games and all, but fuck me I think the media just needs to get over it and come up with something original or make reference to something else that hasn't been beaten to death already in recent years like the "Reactor...Online" startup voice from Mechwarrior maybe or the Star Trek TNG era computer voice.

[Laevatein]

I really don't think the GLaDOS voice is overused, considering that its only appearance in media previously is the Portal games (which by itself isn't known to the wider public afaik), and its appearance in this film is due to Del Toro being a Portal fan, thus making it a blatant homage. Besides, Star Trek's TNG era voice is hardly something unique, and whose style actually is more overused in media.

Newest trailer!

From what I understand (which could be wrong) while Ellen McLain will be voicing the computer in Pacific Rim the use of the "GLaDOS style voice" was only for the one trailer.

I really want to see this one. Looks like the Original Getter Robo meets Evangelion

[GX9900-Gundam-X]

All in all Guillermo del Toro has never disappointed and this may lead to a surge of interest in the mecha genre all in all this excites me greatly!

I whipped up some Jaegers. Take a look!

Stacker Pentecost's full speech and... is he mackin' on Mako Mori there?

No, he's literally telling her to chin up.

Just found some stunning behind-the-scenes stills and those Pacific Rim giant Jaeger posters! Super stoked for this movie.

Since the movie comes out tomorrow and has been getting good early reviews, I though I would share a video I found on youtube where Guillermo del Toro discusses the different Jaegers and how they were designed. Interesting stuff and perfect for mechatalk.

Color me confused lol

What does Cote de Pablo leaving NCIS have to do with Pacific Rim?

[Wingnut]

Sad as I am by that news, nothing. Methinks it was a link sitting on his clipboard and he miscopied or simply forgot to copy the link he wanted to and pasted the NICS article here instead. Happened to me once.
