So I watched Pacific Rim and it was great and I loved it. I'm posting my initial reactions as the movie unfolded below. Sadly, because Pacific Rim was so utterly engrossing, this write-up is probably a bit less engrossing than the rest because I spent more time staring slack-jawed at the screen. Spoilers.
Not sure which part of USAF training is about flying into the enemy like a clumsy drunk.
I'd be surprised if most these suit sequences weren't practical effects. This shit is really lived in.
Huh. Knifehead. "You killed my brudder!"
Hell of a first fight. Surprised Knifehead died...or did he!? <He did.>
The jager could have IR or thermal vision, but they put floodlights on them. I wonder if there's a cutoff point for impractical mecha technology.
