The Pacific Rim train keeps on rolling as we get closer to the July 12th release date. This time, the kaiju movie has two TV spots, both of which actually have quite a bit of new footage. And beatings!
The first, called “Let’s Go Fishing”, is pretty much getting those who aren’t familiar with giant monster movies up to speed on why giant monster movies are awesome:
If I were ten, I would think this movie was “Awesome General Guy Tells Robot To Beat The Crap Out Of Monsters And Then He Does It With A Ship”. This is because I stunk at titles when I was a kid, but hey, at least it’s descriptive. The second spot is focused a little more on the squishy humans who justify the movie’s plotline:
So you’re going to put a guy who apparently just goes around punching people into a giant punching robot? Seems legit.
Joking aside, this does give us the sense there will be a little more to this movie than just monster fighting. Still, it looks like the monster fighting will be amazing.

I don’t care about plot or acting in this movie. If you give 90minutes of non stop monster fighting I will be happy
Christ, when was the last time Hollywood put out a big summer flick that was an original property? Do we have to go all the way back to The Matrix?
Strike that. The Matrix came out in late March.
Inception? Maybe District 9?
I have no idea when these came out.
Both were summer movies!
As awesome as this movie looks, I kind of want it to end with the reveal that it was just one of Charlie Kelly’s insane, cat food-induced dreams.
The closing minute would be him in a self-made VHS promo, with the words “Pasific Rimm” flashing across the screen.
The whole premise of the movie sounds like something Charlie would come up with while arguing with Mac at the bar.
Mac: So how would you fight a giant sea monster Charlie?
Charlie: I’d build a giant robot?
I am so down for this movie. I just want to sit in a dark theater, dump some Milk Duds in my popcorn, and enjoy the mind-numbing delight of giant monsters punching each other and whatnot.
Part of me kinda wants Charlie to be the secret bad guy.
This is that Wire/Sons of Anarchy/It’s Always Sunny crossover movie we’ve been waiting for right?
[spoiler] They run guns and meth up the coast to save the bar only to find Stringer Bell has beat them to it.
Not sure where the robots come in, though.
Well, that much awesome in one place probably creates a singularity.
And then they find out that Stringer is actually from England
/WHAT A TWIST!
This is the movie I’m most looking forward to. Voltron is coming, look busy!
My only problem:
In the trailers, there only appears to be 2 man-made robots to do the fighting? Why couldn’t they come up with like 20 of these Robots to do the KABOOM Fighting?
With just two robots, we might actually get 20 minutes of sub-par porn dialogue. Nobody wants that. Sometimes it’s just better to skip the foreplay and go right to the inter-spieces banging followed by the happy ending, you know?
There will definitely be more than two robots. I promise.
2 hours of Jax nostril flaring? I wonder if his robot will bro walk too… I’m going to pay to find out!
*riiiicky spanishhhhhhhh…*
i hope there’s no super offensive racist robots
