And when the next Transformers movie breaks a billion, that theory will be proven not so correct.[DOUBLEPOST=1374317397][/DOUBLEPOST]
I think you're taking a cute, funny stinger too seriously.
[Movies] Pacific Rim

I wasn't a fan of this ending, for those reasons. As much as I enjoyed the character, I kinda wish he'd stay dead to maintain that cartoon logic doesn't apply in that universe.
I hope this doesn't spell bad news for another movie of this nature that I'm really looking forward to ...

That's a lot of fish.
I think you messed something up there
.And I have confidence this isn't going to be like that shitty '98 movie. Roland Emmerich doesn't even like Godzilla--he and his Independence Day buddy were put in charge because they seemed a good fit for a movie where New York City was gonna get wrecked.
And then there was....ATLANTIC RIM!
Oh Asylum...
I wonder if it'll be as good as TRANSMORPHERS!
You know, I can't imagine the asylum folks are actually satisfied or happy doing what they do. I mean I imagine a group of people who dreamed of making movies and then find themselves making one horrible rip off after another every day. How do they live with themselves? Why not put all that effort into something NOT horrible?
Welp I know what I'm getting my sister for Christmas this year. She loves pretty much everything Asylum.
The CEO of Asylum says he counts on people buying his movies as a mistake by being so closely named to the originals. Basically he openly admits to making his profits off idiots and I'm also cool with that.
It's true. In fact, I remember my first encounter with one of them while working at Jumbo Video. They made War of the Worlds, which came out on video the exact same week as the Tom Cruise movie of the same name. You have no idea how many people I had to inform that it wasn't the Tom Cruise movie and not to rent it.
The Asylum version was probably better than the turd that was the Tom Cruise movie.
Don't even joke. The Cruise version was bad, but nothing compares to the shittiness of Asylum movies. Well, nothing except maybe SyFy flicks.
Most SyFy flicks are Asylum movies.
Just got back. I wanted to go so badly I just went alone while my wife was willing to watch the baby. No one else could make the time.
First I have to say it was an awesome movie. The action was perfectly visible and the animation top notch. You really felt like they had two giants or more fighting each time. I didn't even see it in 3D, and it was very impressive. Makes me want to go again and see it in 3D.
Yes it had a LOT of plotholes and seemingly dropped storylines, but it didn't really take anything away from the movie.

I loved the fact that in the end the Kaiju were basically the same thing as the Jaegers. Weapons engineered to fight. They even mentioned that they have two "brains", much like the Jaegers require two humans to pilot properly. I also found the framing of the climax rather brilliant, how they showed how now WE were the giant monster on their home turf, and about to blow up some alien assholes.
When it comes to dropped storylines, I kind of wish they went into more depth why the Kaiju were so focused on capturing Charlie Day's character. They pretty much told us that the brain syncing was the reason those two Kaiju went to Hong Kong, but after both of them are killed they never even theorize why they were focused on him. Were they impressed by the tech? Were they trying to silence him so he couldn't do it again and learn about the barrier?
The biggest plot hole, though, was how the hell the two were able to get back to Earth at the climax. Okay I understand the portal was not closed yet, but I thought the barrier only allowed Kaiju through it, thus why they had to enter it with a Kaiju corpse, and yet they just float right through? I also find it funny that the "portal" was lucky enough to be in the ceiling of some water world, sure would have sucked if gravity reversed or they popped out in a dry area.
Lastly, and this might just be me, but I found the whole "romance" to be rather silly. They pretty much start falling all googly eyed for eachother the minute they meet, and had no really conflict other then one being shy and both being emotionally damaged. It would have been a much bigger "payoff" if they just killed of the father of the Australian Jaeger and forced the two seemingly fight happy pilots to force a team up, ending with them coming to better terms with eachother and working together for the victory. Yes it's a trope, but a much more satisfying one then the two love birds who obviously want to get together just getting together without any real conflict between them.

Also, I don't think you can find a closer bond with someone than linking minds. If someone knew every thought and memory of yours and still wants to be around you, they're a keeper.
If they could still look me in the eye, I'd be amazed.
Someone has to employ the cast of 90210 and Melrose Place.It's nice how Asylum gives washed up actors jobs too
The former Geography Teacher in me is screaming out in pain...
By an amazing coincidence, today I went on a trip with my wife's church group, and on the bus they showed Atlantic Rim.
This movie is bad. Seriously bad. You can't imagine how bad. I'm trying to think of a single redeeming feature of this movie, and I can't think of one at all. It doesn't even have campy charm. It's just bad.
