HugeJerksays...The scene with the ship being dragged and used as a club looks wrong... scale and physics. Everything else looks great.
sixshotsays...The whole thing is laughable... well, it ought to make for a good mind-numbing flick to watch. Leave yer brain at the door! I should check for some Portal-themed items and see if I can walk into the theater with that shown.
articiansays...Yeah, I notice that a lot in film. If something the size of a skyscraper picked up a ship like a bat, it would crumple and fold under its own weight as soon as it was off the ground. I don't blame the FX guys, I blame the writers. They script that stuff in there without any real understanding of the physics, just figuring it will look cool.
No surprise there, hollywood and their mouth-breathing target-audience and all, so I'll swallow my disbelief and disappointment and hope it's at least a decent Evangelion americanization.

atarasays...Oh, hells, yeah, this movie is going to be terrible.
I can't *WAIT*!
jjw001says...the more awesome the trailer the shitter the movie.
00Scud00jokingly says...I do sometimes wonder if all the eye rolling I do during some sci-fi films might end up damaging my vision. That being said, if it were ever written into law that all sci-fi and fantasy scripts had to be approved by a committee scientists I fear that the genre would die out almost over night. Every space film would end up looking like 2001: A Space Odyssey, no Star Wars, no epic space battles with the sound and fury we come to associate with war. No more Babylon 5 and watching star ships carve each other up like thanksgiving turkeys. Nope, it's all totally correct now, it's also boring as hell.
Look on the bright side, whenever a movie like this comes along it gives you another chance to show everyone just how much smarter you are than all the mouth breathers out there.

brycewi19says...Looks like a terrible mix of Avatar and Real Steel.
Lethinsays...cant wait to see this wreck. treat it like a B movie. expect bad. laugh it off.
coolhundsays...Well, to be fair, it looks slightly better than Transformers.

Is that a thing? I'd like to see some evidence.

ToastyBuffoonsays...Jeepers, I dunno what kind of trailer you were expecting when it comes to a robot vs kaiju film. Physics? Really? I think this looks fun as hell and although everything Del Toro touches isn't gold, I haven't seen a film by him yet that I found to be complete and utter garbage.
Yossariansays...Eff the physics - I'm in!
articiansays...That wasn't my intent. I only wish that those who provide our entertainment were allowed to represent and function at the peak of our potential.
Though I'm sure I've failed in this as we all do from time to time, for a long time I've made my mantra to be "the moment you profess your intelligence/greatness/worth to be greater than another, the instant you lose any trace of it, along with any reality the proclamation might have had".

pmkierstsays...Yeah, if the physics were right, I'd totally buy this. Ok, I'll admit, as crazy as a movie gets, it can't be yanking you out of you suspension of disbelief. I don't think it did that.
This looks like awesome fun.
skinnydaddy1says...This is Cloverfield meets Transformers meets DDR.
I honestly don't know how I feel about that combination....
jjw001jokingly says...It's been a theory I've been working on for some time now. This will the final test case before I publish my findings.

StukaFoxsays...Was that GlaDOS?
entr0pysays...It's the same actress with the same voice filter playing an AI who isn't GlaDOS.

ChaosEnginesays...Why the two pilots? It seems kinda pointless.
But on the other hand, Del Toro, Ron Perlman and Stringer Bell? Sold.
poolcleanersays...It's a trailer dude. Let's check out the film first! Then we may begin the true judgement upon Del Toro (a SPANISH director making this Americanized film), as we have in the past: he's contributed a good deal to film that is both good and bad.
Also, he helped with the writing, so I wouldn't jump to the "blame the writers" crap. If it sucks, blame the man himself because he has his hands in a lot of it. And he continues to use Ron Perlman in his films, which is a plus because he's used Perlman even before we knew who he was. Or Del Toro for that matter.
Ultimately I look forward to seeing his movies, even if they're not all greats. He wrote all the Hobbit films, though maybe that misses the mark with you, as well.
I'd recommend Cronos, Devil's Backbone, and Pan's Labyrinth. Those are great flicks, though on the horror side of the spectrum.
And ultimately, let's be clear on this writer/director/producer: Not a run of the mill American jockey.

hpqpsays...Someone's been channeling Neon Evangelion methinks...
Jinxsays...To be fair this is a film about giants that would hold themselves together not much better than that ship would.
