The presence of GlaDOS in this is kinda cool, but also incredibly distracting. I wonder if they'll keep that for the final film.

I've been waiting for this one. I have trust in del Toro. I know the studio was so impressed they started the script for the sequel. Hopefully if this does well he can do At the Mountains of Madness.

This got ahead of me by an hour and 8 minutes so *promote.

Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Wednesday, December 12th, 2012 4:54pm PST - promote requested by RFlagg.

OMG!
i just wet myself......

DO WANT!

Anything Del Toro does I'm in.

Shut up and take my money

Similarities with Neon Genesis Evangelion are pure coincidence, I guess.

Heh, a Sons of Anarchy logo would look good on one of those bots.
At the Mountains of Madness? Lovecraft? and Del-Toro at the helm, I think I just got an erection.

Now we know why Del Toro didn't direct the hobbit... He was making something even better!

Cthulhu meets.....Robot Jox??

Form blazing sword!!

Want.

But will there be any cake?

RIP THAT MONSTERS HEAD OFF AND SHIT DOWN ITS NECK !

I'm pretty sure Del Toro must be a fan of Evangelion. There are waaaay too many similarities. And I'm glad! This looks kick-ass!

I'm honestly not sure if this is awesomely ridiculous or ridiculously awesome!

Del Toro, Ellen McLain, Idris Elba, Lovecraftian vibe.

I am fucking pumped.

Um... where?

Also, am I the only one that doesn't think this looks too great? I mean this doesn't look like Del Toro at all, it looks more like Michael Bay

Seriously?

Let's see.
- Giant monsters sent to destroy mankind (at least that's what they say in the trailer)
- Giant Robots controlled by people inside
- Giant Robots controlled by people inside with "neural links"
- Giant Robots each constructed by Japan, US, and Germany (that's not in the trailer I know, but i read it somewhere)

-Have you ever seen Godzilla? Evangelion's Angels (and the story) were a little more complicated than simply "giant monsters sent to destroy mankind". From this trailer we don't know what these monsters are or came from, they could just be random monsters like in The Mist.
-There were NO giant robots in Evangelion
-From this trailer, these robots are remote controlled, they are not inside them. Even if they were, ever heard of Battletech/Mech Warrior (they also use neural links)? Robotech/Macross? Gundam?

I was basing this off observations from this trailer. Nothing here says "Evangelion" to me apart from a few vague similarities that are not unique to Eva

a power rangers movie!??! yesssss.

Del Toro announced this back in October. Ellen McLain who does the voice work for GlaDOS would be doing the AI for his movie. They even put her voice through the same process that they did for portal.

No, only pie. There was a rumor of cake but it turned out to be a lie.

I normally love science fiction and shit like this, but this just looks stupid to me. It looks like a super-sized "The Mist". I hope I'm wrong, but... "a portal between dimensions in the Pacific Ocean". Give me a break.

I love the idea. And I love Evangelion. And I'm even prepared to pretend this is not a total rip off *of* Evangelion. But man, they sure are proud of their CGI, and they want you to *know* that they're proud of their CGI, which kinda goes against the whole *reason* to use CGI.

Doesn't mean I won't see it, I see just about everything. But I'm scared.

Why don't the monsters just use the portal to steal our oceans? Game over.

Exactly!
I don't see anything uniquely exciting about this movie's execution.
The way it's shot reminds me of 'sky captain and the world of tomorrow'

This movie looks.. bad.. like a live action version of SNK's King of the Monsters.

I'm also suspicious of any movie with the Inception-born 'bwwaaaaaah'

Although I'm glad to see Jax Teller getting some movie roles. Kinda expected him to be Thor a few years ago

Maybe they were afraid we'd just bust a pipeline and throw in a match in retaliation.

One would think with the resource they have, rather than building a giant robot with overly complicated controlling system, they would build something a lot cheaper and efficient like a fast moving projectile that has good penetration and cause a giant secondary explosion... just a thought.

Pacific Rim Trailer - With Guillermo del Toro Commentary has been added as a related post - related requested by RFlagg on that post.

This looks fucking amazing.

The best part about this, is that no one else really dives in to stuff like this save for transformers (ugh) and godzilla shit. This is elder god stuff. Love it!

look at big robots! me want! me no brain!

Yeah, because you can't possibly enjoy watching enormous robots and be intelligent.

What an asinine comment
