Re: Cool Trailers

Hollywood, why are you only just now filming all my dreams from when I was 15?

Also, where is Farah Fawcett? She should be in there.

Re: Cool Trailers

I think it'll be pretty goddamn awesome, but I am hoping some of the stuff in there isn't final renders, cause while some of it looks great (especially most of the robot shots), the cg destruction and most of the creature shots look pretty fake in spots. As soon as my eye catches that a big destruction scene is all cg, I get totally pulled out of the action scene, so that last money shot does nothing for me. Del Toro is usually great about avoiding this problem (except for 3 shots in Blade 2, and 2 of those are so badass they're worth it) though, so I'm not very worried.

I do love the shit out of that line, surprised no-one's used it before in a movie.

If Schwarzeneggar's End of Days had been the goofy Arnie vs Satan action movie it should've been, instead of a shitty way-too-serious piece of crap, that would've been a perfect one-liner for the ending.

I was kinda iffy on it to, until I got home and watched it full-screen 1080p. The vfx look waaay better when you see them on a proper screen, it's the Avatar/LOTR effect, there's so many tiny details that help sell the effect that you don't notice if you're just watching it in a small window.

I hope, so fucking hard, that GLaDOS saves us. For science.

Re: Cool Trailers

When does tit say 2 people per robot? I saw 2 pilots and 2 robots. Maybe they're next to eachother because they're not actually IN the mechs.

Re: Cool Trailers

There was actually a functional reason for this.  I can't remember the reason given, but each mech has two pilots ho operate separate aspects of the machine.

I think it looks horrific. But that's just me.

Re: Cool Trailers

While I would prefer that they'd gone with a Star Trek type mission crew piloting the thing, I think the neural link think will be fine if this has the kind of tone that I think it will.

If this were tonally trying to be a hard sci-fi film like Prometheus I would agree with you it's a stupid choice, but I think this movie is going to be way more playful and less serious, much more of an anime vibe. I mean the whole thing is inherently ridiculous, if you want to go down that route I'd say in what universe is the most practical way to fight giant monsters the manufacturing of ginormous bi-pedal robots, instead of you know, nuking them, or coming up with one of a million more efficient ways to accomplish the task.

Re: Cool Trailers

I'm okay with the two-pilot thing. You don't get a single person to captain a ship, or fly a rocket.

Re: Cool Trailers

It does seem like a live action anime, but without the teen angst or half naked teen girls (there was one show where the mech got more powerful as the two teens inside got aroused).
