Yes, That Actually is GLaDOS in the Pacific Rim Trailer

[QUOTE=dgg;38824327]Her voice is completely unfitting for the setting.

It's like I'm watching some fandubbed shit where they decided to add Glad0s' voice in for shits and giggles.[/QUOTE]

The Overwatch Transhuman Arm or Civil Protection dispatch voice would have been better, if they had to make some choice between the two instead of making the smart decision and doing their own original tone.

It's underappreciated and how the monotony is nailed down is just delicious.

[Mrs. Moon]

You know, if something like this were to happen, the military would probably just nuke it. Not build some bullshit giant robot to fight it.

Seriously, the same with zombies. It'd be ugly, but they'd napalm the streets or something.

[QUOTE=Vodkavia;38824157]Somehow I don't think this movie will be anything spectacular.[/QUOTE]

I think the opposite.

However we'll all just have to wait for it to come out and see it before we really jump to any conclusions.

[QUOTE=LSK;38824424]Why does it have to have a point? Take it for what it is, giant robots beating the shit out of giant sea monsters with fucking rocket fists. I'm going to see it simply for the FX.[/QUOTE]

Alright well watching Adobe After Effects: The Movie.

[Bragdras]

Honestly I'm more annoyed at the over-over-OVERUSE of this fucking annoying-ass horn every 20 seconds in the trailer.

Not saying I'm annoyed at Mclain's voice or her GlaDOS voice, I really enjoy the VA and the robotic version, but I don't really care about it too much, if at all.

I'm not quite following you.

I'm just saying I'll be watching it mostly for the special effects, since it's already clear the plot/acting will likely be underwhelming, at least judging by this trailer. Maybe it will pull through, you never know.

[Strongbad]

You know what I think? I think everyone here is jumping to conclusions. Over a trailer, no less.

[asteroidrules]

I don't see anything wrong with the GLaDOS voice, doesn't really seem any different than using a well-known actor/actress. As for the movie itself, well there's really not enough information to be sure so I'm not going to jump to conclusions.

like someone already mentioned, I was getting a huge big O vibe out of the robots, but the monster reasoning is completely amiss though

since I'm suddenly sucked into making game/anime connections, let's be super nitpicky and make some references

if you really want to stretch it, the girl in trailer at 1:30 looked like the mirror's edge girl

then the cockpit I thought reminded me of G-Gundam, but I looked that back up and it wasn't what I remembered [url=http://youtu.be/vNW_h2ZsJJU?t=2m55s]at all[/url] but I know I've seen that kind of lock-in thing before

All in all I think they decided to use their budget to do nothing but shout-outs in an effort to draw in everyone who'd get the references or just eat it up because it's the same as other stuff they like without questioning too many things, earning back a huge payout from all of those nerdes. Feels less 'homage' and more 'potential cash-cow run by a committee who doesn't realize that not everybody is college bros who wouldn't even know DBZ is from japan'

don't get me wrong though I wanna see it

[Reds]

From everything I've seen, it's more like the director wanted to make a giant-mech vs Kaiju movie.

This shit doesn't get made by a bunch of executives trying to be safe as possible.

Besides, everyone's complaints seem to be "It's too much like this" and "It's not enough like this", even when referring to the same damn thing.

[EzioAuditore]

Wasn't Facepunch jizzing over this movie a while ago?

[Lowland]

The pilots should be little kids, and the monsters should make cross shaped explosions.

Am I the only one wondering why they used a USN Carrier for transporting the remains of one of the creatures instead of a [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_lift_ship]heavy lift ship[/url]?

Sure a Nimitz is 100m longer than any of the HLSs I could find, but you'd think that a carrier is more valuable as something to launch attack craft off than as a freighter. And the remains of the creature doesn't take up the entirety of that carriers deck.

Also these exist (I want one):

There are all sorts of things wrong there.

Like F-22's being used as ground attack aircraft against creatures that likely aren't using RADAR to locate targets and using their cannons to do so. Plus the whole part where F-22's don't actually have two cannons, and yet the trailer clearly shows them using two.

All of which is totally picky, I get it, and I wouldn't have even brought it up if you didn't mention the issues with the carrier, but here is my issue with it:

Getting it right wouldn't have made it any less epic. Frankly it probably would have made it more epic if it were A-10 using their cannons. That would make a degree of sense, and would be way more fucking awesome. A-10 cannons are huge and have exposed barrels, plus they carry all missiles and bombs externally, and in large numbers, which again makes for a much more terrifying looking aircraft.

continuing on the point I made about how a lot of the thought process was likely a committee that focuses on 'what will college bros love' because that's a huge audience for action movies, especially considering the whole kaiju/giant robot subject. Sure it looks cool but anyone who pays attention is going to get pissed. Even I was just confused when one of the planes just decided to fly under its arm, air warfare has changed significantly since we had biplanes tightly circling king kong

How could you forget the sound
That alone would be a good enough reason

I'm not digging those mech designs.

The vulcan cannons on the F-22 are actually going to sound pretty cool themselves.

....except listen to the sound they DO have for them. They make them sound like, to steal daijitsu's comparison, machine guns you'd find on a biplane.

I don't mind when license is taken in order to make something cooler, but why change it to make it less awesome?

[S31-Syntax]

I did like the rocket powered fist... that was a nice touch. But i simply can't take the movie seriously with that voice for the computer!

[IPK]

Should have used combine warning voice.

[DOG-GY]

i hope they put glados onscreen because it would be incredibly funny and make a lot of people mad

[Glorbo]

The whole premise is stupid
"What's that? Drop a 1000lb bomb on the monsters from the air? Nah, that's too easy. Let's give the monsters a chance and just fly towards them firing our cannons, and build an overly complex robot to combat them later. Perfect."

[QUOTE=DOG-GY;38825418]idk dude robots and jets shooting monsters are pretty fuckin cool[/QUOTE]

Giant robots are rarely able to carry a movie on the cool factor alone. The writers wrote themselves into a hole as soon as they did that.
This is going to be exactly like battleship, I don't even know why FP is excited so much. I mean, look at the trailer. Look at how much story and "look at that cool stuff!" they crammed into it. That's a clear sign that a movie is going to suck.

judging by a few factors, it could follow a routine storyline of "we fought one off and barely survived after doing the whole missile thing, before anything else shows up let's build up something that can deliver a lot of physical momentum to hopefully break something, since explosions are just charring its thick armor

holy

[url=http://youtu.be/w6Vv2z-QiAI?t=1m10s]can someone listen to [glados] at 1:10 in the trailer?[/url] I swear now all I can hear is "Ready to activate the EVA in 3... 2... 1..."

tell me I'm just looking too hard for the word EVA and it's something else

because I keep seeing things to relate to evangelion and this really worries me now
