    "Pacific Rim is an upcoming science fiction film directed by Guillermo del Toro based on a screenplay by Travis Beacham. The film is set in a world where soldiers piloting giant robots battle against giant monsters who have mysteriously risen from beneath the ocean. Del Toro has said the film will be "a beautiful poem to giant monsters".

    The film will be released in 3-D and IMAX 3D on July 12, 2013.

    Oh sweet Jesus I can't quite describe my excitement for this movie.

    I' ve seen enough hentai back in my days to know where this is going. xD

    Should we expect an actual scenario ? Some Evangelion meta shit maybe (one of the characters said something about the end of the world) ? Or just plain mindless action ?

    Defeat aliens, machines take over . . . That's what i'm thinking, it'd make a good prequel to the Matrix . . .

    But seriously though, this looks like an interesting movie. Most people do think of aliens coming from the sky but not from the ocean. On top of the the mecha suits look amazing. The graphics are stunning, from what i've seen there. And i'm gonna go ahead and guess the soundtrack is gonna be superb. This is definitely a movie i'd like to watch.

    I heard that the voice for GLaDOS in both Portal games will be voicing the computer systems throughout the movie. Here's the article, anyway.

    I'm equally as excited for this movie. I hope it doesn't suck as much as Battleship did; I had high hopes for that movie.

    ...how could you have any hopes for that movie? I knew it was terrible the moment I saw the trailer (seen it, wasn't wrong)

    But I doubt heavily this will flop.

    Recognised it as soon as she spoke. xD

    I've heard about this for a while but that was the first trailer I've seen. Not really a fan of monster films but I might give this one ago. The story may or may not suck, but the animation and action looks good.

    The opening narration didn't really do anything for me, and a lot of the dialogue feels uninspired.
    I'm being picky, but they do a good job at showing this movie for what it is; Robots vs Giant monsters.
    Really hoping they don't dumb down the script like they did to the '98 Godzilla film. (Hoping for good things in the 2014 reboot)

    I actually want to see this, just to watch the monsters from Gears of War get beat up by a giant boxing robot. No seriously, when I saw this trailer before The Hobbit started, I first thought it was a Gears of War movie, and when the robots came up, it looked like Giant Robot/Monster boxing match....give or take.

    Giant monsters are awesome. Mechas are awesome. Guillermo del Toro makes pretty good movies. how is this not going to be great? I have no idea until it comes out!
