Tribute.
I'm impressed the boat staying in one piece is the one logistically impossible piece of plot you decide to nitpick from this trailer.
Anyway, easy explanation is that in this universe that necessitated the construction of huge robots to fight giant alien invaders (that arise from the sea no less), perhaps boat fabrication techniques advanced so that normal freighters had at least a fighting chance of staying in one piece of one of these creatures came upon it.
In any event this was amazing!! I love the look of it.

As I said upthread, square-cube law be dammed!
Interesting. Seriously the first I have heard about it and it looks awesome. Utterly passed under my radar.

Am I the only one who thinks that the ship isn't a tanker? Tankers are huge.
edit: never mind, this is about the right size

You'll probably get a lot of flack for this (and seemingly already have), but that was honestly the first thing I thought too.

It's certainly not a Maersk E-class size or anything, but it could definitely be a Panamax size (950 ft in length). Tankers come in all sizes though.

damn, this movie is gonna bomb big time.
Not the robot carrying it, nor the big ass monster that will get smashed with it, but the problem is the boat itself, because ain't realistic?
I dont think so
people who dont appreciate the source materials this is clearly inspired from will still pay a ticket to see this kind of big hollywood 3D ride

God, I hope they don't pull an Independence Day and only show the Americans winning or using their mech properly. I want to see joint tactics.
Hell yea, fuck you Toho.

the budget probably is between 120-200 million range... doubt this makes it back.
It's about $200 million and there is a market outside of the U.S. and Canada.
This is not the greatest movie in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
It's like you have never seen a movie reach a billion in box office..
I bet it will make more than its budget worldwide...easily.

quite the contrary, i dig the movie and think it looks amazing. I'll be there day 1, but i'm not sure it will do that well WW.
Meh, John Carter did like 300 million overall didn't it? I bet this one does better than that.
I don't know it, there are also giant robots that would need immense amounts of power to move controlled in parallel by two pilots fighting aliens that arose from the depths of the ocean.

Looks great. They should have shown some of that in the first trailer which sucked and gave the film no buzz at all
And it's coming out so soon too. Bad job marketing this

On 'roid rage.
They needed to show something as we were heading to May and since the trailer it's been pretty quiet other than some viral stuff on FB. Glad they showed the WonderCon footage.

To those considering this will essentially be a live-action Evangelion I think the quote on Evangelion's TV Tropes page sums it up best: "This is a giant robot saga the same way Twin Peaks was a cop show"
Same. I also woo'ed when Ron Pearlman appeared

This movie will easily do $500mil WW at least.
Just needs that marketing, but, and it kinda pains me to say this, but money is money, it will get a huge chunk of the transformers crowd, which got the last TF film over a billion.
I really hope it does do well. I want an Eva movie.

I think this movie will do well by Word of Mouth and bluray sales. I just hope it doesn't get bumped out of cinemas like other GDT movies have (Hellboy 1 & 2 only ran for 2 weeks here, Pan's Labyrinth never even made it to the silver screen).
I did too lol.
Nice lol.
But yeah, this movie definitely made me wonder just how amazing an actual Evangelion movie would be.

I take back every negative thing I have said about this film.
