I certainly didn't dislike Pacific Rim before now but that trailer really made me want to see it.

Aside from the terribly generic inspirational narration by Jax, that looks loving great. See, Michael Bay? That's how you do giant spectacle action movies.

Michael Bay has made one good spectacle space movie (Armageddon) and it wasn't even that good. Mostly it was held up by the russian guy

I'm going to have to disagree. His movies have all been incomprehensible clusterfucks of uninspired CGI blobs rolling around, not very fun to watch when you don't even know what's happening.

But T2 and T3 had none of those issues. So yeah people calling Bay a bad director are dumb. This was the point I started throwing money at the screen. Man that looks rad.

Judging from everyone's reactions, I can only assume I'm dead inside. That trailer didn't really do anything for me, at all.

He looks like Sam Worthington and acts like Sam Worthington but isn't. He feels flat to me too. But then I rewatch the shot of Gypsy Danger falling into the snow and I don't give a gently caress

Yeah, I didn't care for the first trailer and hoped this one would spark some kind of interest. Looks like this movie is just one I'm not going to care about at all.

What's the most amount of pages any thread in CD has gone without breaking out into an argument about Michael Bay?

I can swallow things that have no basis in conventional reality, but when those things are used to manipulate an object whose behavior is known and predictable according to the laws of physics I'm hard-pressed to swallow it. I never said the rest of the movie looked bad, just that seeing them go 95% of the way then skimp on the physics at the end was distracting. Plus I even said I was afraid of saying so because people like you would go "oh that's sad" like nitpicking is something I enjoy doing. I don't.

This whole minor argument really comes close to people complaining about the Fringe science in Fringe. Almost.

This is in regards to a movie where hostile, giant alien monsters warp through a portal in the Pacific Ocean that eventually leads to the nations of earth constructing giant combat robots to counter their attacks. Alright.

So you can totally accept and enjoy the notion of giant monsters warping into earth via an ocean portal and massive robots built to fend them off, but the moment one of those robot uses a ship and defies conventional physics by swinging it around like a bat, you just can't believe it?
