And no, not talking about the animated film by Dreamworks (which I liked too, btw... yay for Ginormica :heart: ), but rather the latest film by Guillermo del Toro, Pacific Rim.

As I'm a person of few words [shut up, I am!! :XD: ], I'll just get straight to the point... I LOVED this movie, I HIGHLY recommend this movie, I'll PROBABLY am going to see it again.

Despite being cliche, campy, predictable, eerily similar to other movies I know (e..g, Evangelion, Independence Day), it is nevertheless ingeniously directed in a way that has you giddily excited throughout the entirety of the movie, while still treating you [the movie goer] like you actually have more than half a brain.  In other words it is highly-unconventional Hollywood that actually makes me want to give up my money (as opposed to Man of Steel which was horrors, and World War Z which really should have stuck to the book). 

The fact that the movie feels like a live-action Anime is not lost on me, and it's certainly a gamble to introduce unfamiliar aspects to Western Audiences (even the names "kaiju" and "jaeger" alone would make some minds explode).  But like MLP:FiM before it, it delivers beautifully by treating the genre with the detail, respect, realistic graphics, engaging storytelling, and strong characterization it deserves.  Throw in a good mix of action and humor, and now we're cookin' with fiya!  :)

Sure, it's often recommended to switch off your brain while watching this, but I can assure you it's not necessary... you'll voluntarily switch it off on your own, and just enjoy this damn awesome film that delivers what it promises [=real good summer fun]!  :)

And just to commemorate my old OS-tan art (which must've hit some anniversary during this time), here's a Cherno Alpha-tan just for kicks...

Or I could watch the Rebuild of Evangelion. Yeah I'm going to do that.

Jokes aside I heard the movie was a flop at the box office...
