Pacific Rim comes to theaters July 12th, 2013 and stars Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Ron Perlman, Charlie Day, Burn Gorman, Clifton Collins Jr., Robert Maillet, Rinko Kikuchi.

The film is directed by Guillermo del Toro.

why do they keep releasing movies which are like a non-interactive 2 hours version of a modern (2005-...) and obviously more entertaining videogame?? and probably with better (voice) acting as well...

meh

I keep thinking it's more like a polished, eye-popping Voltron--on steroids.

Oh boy, 2013 must be the year of the Sci-Fi.

Wait, this is a videogame? *a little deflated* Does this mean there'll be tons of shooting, so much so there's barely a storyline?

No, it wasn't adapted from a video game. Can't vouch for the heft of the storyline, however.

like I said, you should try a modern sci-fi videogame

and no, Pacific Rim is not adapted from a videogame

I just said that current sci-fi films LOOK LIKE/ARE LIKE watching somebody else play a videogame for 2 hours...

Oh Ok, then.

I just read they've already started writing the sequel. Confident, are they?
