Seen it, it was alright I suppose but feel a bit ripped off for £10. Plenty of plot inconsistencies too and the last hour was ruined when I realised that they could have easily piloted the things remotely. Also what's the point of using shipping containers as weapons, the robot arms are made of metal anyway.
You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

There is hope for humanity. In spite of millions of $$$s spent on marketing Pacific Rim opened in 3rd place in the weekend box-office.
You guys realize that the Plot is a rip off of Godzilla right?

This article might help clear a lot of the confusion - Mecha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anyway, I saw it and loved it. Having been an anime fan all my life, it was impressive to see massive mechas come to life on the big screen. Even though the premise is similar to other Hollywood disaster stories, but the idea is new and refreshing. Been a fan of Guillermo Del Toro's work as well, the guy is a genius, and knows how to implement a good idea. Loved it.

There are no real rip-offs of anything anymore, just because there are no new ideas. Everything is inspired by something else that has been done before. Every major Hollywood sci fi or action movie, including Matrix, Terminator, Independence Day, Avatar etc. in the past 20+ years has been either inspired or some even shamelessly copied (frame-by-frame) from a Japanese manga or anime. Yet nobody calls them a rip-off.

The dialogue is very cheesy and cliché. Terrible, terrible acting. Terrible plot for the most part. But some interesting concepts are left unexplored.
This is a film for children. Or adults who enjoy robots with swords. The film was disappointing, but then again, what could anyone expect here??
It isn't really fair to be disappointed here.
