Looks kinda cheaper than the first and ultra-cheesy...

Day 0.

 

[donkey show]

Needs more "Rocket Elbows".

Dude has combining swords!

 

[louiedog]

Looks OK? Cheaper than the first? Not a fan of the trailer music choice. Still... in for live-action anime done [hopefully] right.

I think it's the brightly lit daytime urban fighting. You see everything.

 

[raven777]

It doesn't look as bad as I feared.
Good to see fights taking place in the day, even if that makes the movie look more obvious CG looking than the first one.

 

[Mahonay]

Looks fucking ridiculous. Count me in.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

The Jaeger on Jaeger fights interest me as Universal bought a domain called Pacific Rim Insurrection a few weeks ago. Animated spin-off series to Netlfix inbound?

 

[itwasTuesday]

New kids in charge now

 

[- J - D -]

I love the cast. What an odd bunch to be thrown together.

 

[Auto_aim1]

Lol we got Kaiju power levels now.

Kaijus are a force of nature like a hurricane. Category power levels are apt.

 

[Lunar15]

This is so Yusha that they might as well have Kohei Tanaka do the music.

 

[The Kree]

I hope they keep the cutting between cockpit interiors and exteriors during the fight scenes to a minimum this time around. That shit was annoying in the first movie. It's like, OK, I get it, the robot moves mimic the pilots. Stop cutting away in the middle of awesome shit.

 

[Theorry]

Power Rangers look cool,

 

[Legend of Aims]

Still in. The action seems more weapon-based than "punching kaijus in the face", not sure how it will turn out but we'll see.
Also I expect those robots to Voltron together for the finale. ^^

I think I'll faint if they do.

 

[Dysun]

I loved the first one and this looks great

 

[kurahador]

God that song is such a turn off. Where the hell is Ramin Djawadi epic score?

 

[Zomba13]

Looks hype!

 

[awilliams213]

Great trailer loved the theme guitar rift in the middle. Everything is so damn colorful and the jagers look great not even a question DAY 1.

 

[JCX]

Oh man I am so hyped! That was amazing!

 

[Alx]

Kaijus are a force of nature like a hurricane. Category power levels are apt.

They already had power levels in the original. The last one they fought was their first Cat5 kaiju IIRC, while the two in Hong Kong were both Cat4.

I thought of that but how would that actually work? The Kaiju melding together clearly catches them off guard, for the Jaegers to merge they'd need to have that function already programmed into them, be built for the purpose of connecting. So unless they secretly expected that the need to Constructacon themselves would arise in the future, they'd need to build brand new Jaegers for that to work.

Thinking about it I'm actually gonna be kind of pissed if they just suddenly have the ability to connect without any build up or prior explanation, that's a huge logic gap.

 

[ED Cantu]

Even though the art direction is IMO much worse compared to the first one's, I think the trailer looked all right so I'll still watch this one hoping the story and action is good.

 

[Krauser Kat]

Fuck yeah. I dont think PR ever looked very realistic but the night time helped at least. I mean its giant robots that shit will never look real.

 

[MidnightRain]

It looks awesome! Day 1.

 

[EPaul]

Looking pretty good

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Wasn't the original 16:9?

downgrade tbh

 

[fadedbones]

I was feeling iffy after seeing the stills, but this looks gooood. Not feeling the song and the star wars guy though

 

[Mahonay]

Yeah, judging by this first trailer, I don't like the overall style as much as the first movie

 

[Ridley327]

This looks so deliciously anime.

 

[raven777]

Is that Kikuchi Rinko on the right?

 

[WordAssassin]

O:

They did say there would be an animated series to bridge the time between Pacific Rim 1 and 2...

 

[PhoncipleBone]

That last part I was expecting all the Jaegers to go Voltron and combine. Sadly, no Super Jaeger shown.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Is that Kikuchi Rinko on the right?

it appears to be w/ Charlie day on the left

 

[Kolibri]

New Transformers looking crappy as ever.

 

[Mahonay]

New Transformers looking crappy as ever.

How dare you

 

[BrettHeazy]

I was really excited, now I'm apprehensive.

Looks like a coming of age film now, where good guys will fight bad guys, then bad guys will team up to take out the Kaiju.

Seems to be more happy and chirpy then the first

 

[Cymbal Head]

Looks like the Saturday morning cartoon to the original's late night monster movie. Or the Son of Godzilla to the original's Godzilla, if you will.

 

[Kalentan]

It looks better than I expected but still worse than the original. I hope it surprises me but I don't like the removal of the gritt. Too clean.

 

[lcbrus]

Not feeling it.

 

[T.O.P]

Looks kinda boring an uninteresting tbh

 

[i3allistic]

Still some ugly looking robots ...

 

[a916]

Super early but now I have a fear that they are going to Kingsmen 2 this movie. Everything seems cranked up to the 100s

 

[badcrumble]

Also I expect those robots to Voltron together for the finale. ^^

This is absolutely gonna happen.

I'm also praying for at least one Macross missile swarm.

 

[KodaRuss]

Super early but now I have a fear that they are going to Kingsmen 2 this movie. Everything seems cranked up to the 100s

So I havent seen Kingsman 2 yet but isnt that what that movie is all about? Over the top action?

 

[metsallica]

I think it's the brightly lit daytime urban fighting. You see everything.

Could be. Brightly lit generally means more expensive, though (at least if you want to do it right)! We'll see how the final effects hold up.

 

[Auto_aim1]

They already had power levels in the original. The last one they fought was their first Cat5 kaiju IIRC, while the two in Hong Kong were both Cat4.

Yeah, I know. His post was a bit confusing that's all.

 

[rokkerkory]

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IN

 

[gimmmick]

Meh, the first one was overrated. I'm sure this will be on hbo 27 times a week when it releases.

 

[OldRoutes]

Super early but now I have a fear that they are going to Kingsmen 2 this movie. Everything seems cranked up to the 100s

Kingsmen 2 turned out to be awesome though!

 

[inky]

Went full anime

 

[the anime man]

I wish Scott Eastwood wasn't in this. He sucks.

Otherwise the movie looks good. I liked the first one.
