Loving the mech designs so far.
It already exists.
How high are the chances that it will be destroyed and that the pilots will receive a new super secret robot that the head scientist left for them before his death?
...The fuck? I began to like the trailer after several viewings and have been looking forward to the movie for a long ass time.

But it was underwhelming the first time I watched it after all the comic-con hype and the expectations I had. Fact is it just didn't show much, and I can understand why others might be underwhelmed.
But no, you're right, I hate everything. Your comment is even more fucking stupid considering I said that I expected the second trailer to be great.

the trailer was completely underwhelming. all this hype about mechs vs giant monsters and we got a trailer with action less exciting than any of the transformers trailers.
it wasn't that good, and they have to step it up big time if they want this film to succeed. trailer 2 better deliver the kaiju.
edit: kaeptain are you seriously accusing this dude of being a fanboy? if some korean director made crappy cloud atlas you'd probably put it in your top 5 of the year. we're all fanboys of something.
but then you don't do that stuff that you said, but neither does jett really. the point i'm trying to make is...
...that cloud atlas and that arnold movie sucked.

Movie looks great, this is the first ive heard of it.
I realize this isnt a godzilla movie but will it have a *wink wink nudge nudge*" of course thats not Godzilla" type of monster in it?

I enjoyed all 3 Transformers movies. I think I'll be okay!
I sincerely hope they keep the Kaiju's out of any footage as much as possible. I want my first eyecontact with them on the big screen. Scaled 1:1. Dat awesomesauce!
Edit: I had the same with Jurassic Park. First time I saw ANY of the dinosaurs, was in the theatre. Brachiosaurus was more impressive on the silver screen than any TV could or can offer.
i think that the combination of giant mecha battlesuits and godzilla, two things i'm normally indifferent about, is pretty damned cool.
but then my hype deflated immensely when I found out this isn't a godzilla film.
it might have godzilla like creatures, but it doesn't have the same impact as the real deal.

Seems the new trailer will debut "exclusively" at Wondercon on Saturday, whatever that means.

Well i get that, but i meant more along the lines of a, i dunno, blue giant dino that has just plain old fire breath.
Kinda like the guy in this game:
Edit:unless you're saying that since they're using that name, odds are high for what im asking for?

Seems accurate.
The way it turns its head is freaking incredible, I think I asked for this particular gif when the trailer came out because I too thought it was the coolest moment.
It means they'll show the trailer at the panel there first, and then it'll go online whenever they feel the rest of us scrubs deserve to see it.

I just can't see how is can't be a huge hit internationally. The premise is very multi-national, multi-cultural in a genre that is already massive overseas. Plus it looks amazing as fuck.
Not only the premise, but we have an asian girl and a black dude in the main cast !

Cool, but kind of a let down compared to the other posters.
Doh. Based Wondercon attendees...It means they'll show the trailer at the panel there first, and then it'll go online whenever they feel the rest of us scrubs deserve to see it.

Holy shit. First time I see this thread, the movie looks SICK. I cannot wait.

Hang out with Steve.
I want every one of these posters framed & on my walls NOW.
And the Bandai Perfect Grade models, too ;-)

This site has really high resolution versions of all the posters so far except Gypsy Danger: http://www.filmofilia.com/pacific-rim-posters-143688/
Hopefully they update with the last one soon.

Aside from a variant spelling, is there a reason why it's spelled "Gipsy"?

Except for Crimson Typhoon's silly head, all of the mechs look fantastic.
At this point there's enough fundamentally good components that I don't think it's physically possible for the movie to turn out poor.

Just a question. Does Australia have enough money, technology and resources to build something like that in real life?

Very true. If Godzilla is not done just right, people will be pissed. But all the Kaijus and Jaegers are a from a blank slate. They can do anything they want.
Europe is not on the pacific rim.

Besides, the EU is such a trainwreck that they would never be able to actually work together to build a robot. They'd just have 130 summits to discuss the options and then declare bankruptcy on Portugal or Italy or something.
Australia has a lot of engineers/designers but currently not enough jobs...so it would likely boost the economy and not need them to go overseas for work.
If their was a great demand for one to be built it would increase the manufacturing sector just like times of war.
Pacific Rim region only...at least so far.
They could come up with a sequel, you never know.
A Brit seems to be leading the pilots at least.

Well, we wouldn't want to embarrass you's all so early in the game anyway.

God's had his chance.
Those Jaeger posters are ridiculously awesome. All the designs look different enough for the varying countries but they all look developed upon the same kind of tech and time frame which makes perfect sense and COMEON GYSPYDANGER PUNCH THAT FUCKING LIZARD!!! YEEEEAAAAAAA!
Gonna see this movie drunk and cheer like it's Ali. What a fantastic idea this movie is.

So while the rest of world is locked in a life or death struggle, the Euros are just chillin', drinking wine and eating cheese.
Sort of like real life today ;-P

I had trouble making it through the 2nd movie. The third was even worse, it took me 4 tries to get through it all. Thankfully, I didn't pay for any of those movies after the first. It was like every scene had something terrible in it, some awful forced humor, bad camera on the action, the horrible acting, so predictable and the last 40 minutes of just unrelenting action where I couldn't give a shit what was going on was excruciating. Those movies never got better on the wish of just wanting to watch robots punch each other.
Thankfully, I've completely forgotten those movies. Transformers 3 is probably the worst movie I've ever seen, alongside Sleeping Beauty. It's worse when a bad movie is just boring rather than bad funny or unique like The Room.
