Public Service Announcement: Pacific Rim
« on: July 14, 2013, 04:29:24 PM »
OK guys, you all need to do yourselves a little favor and go to see this movie called "Pacific Rim".  It's as close as you're going to get to a GOOD movie about Titans.

I mean, my wife enjoyed it, and she has no interest in 40k at all. 

But more to the point, I have a feeling many of the people who read this forum might identify with the people in this movie JUST A BIT.  And get JUST A BIT of a kick out of the action scenes...  truly epic.

Oh lol, Bell of Lost Souls put up an article to the same effect, even using the term "Public Service Announcement".  I posted first :)

I watched Pacific Rim last night and it was awesome! I suggest that everyone sees it in theaters because the sound of each step the (Jaeger/kaiju) makes shakes the seats with sound! it is well worth the money to see it!

                                                                                  *SPOILER BELOW*

What did those Russian Jaeger pilots even do? I mean, they lasted, like what, 20 seconds in combat? I know they were piloting an old model but those things were still built to fight Kaiju!

Remember, those were some of the first level 4s.  It was also the first "double event."

I'm just saying, it did little to no damage to the two kaiju. but then again, it was an older model, built to fight smaller kaiju, so I guess I can hand the two Russians some credit...

Wait a second... wasn't that Jaeger affected by the EMP? That Jaeger was electric, not nuclear, and if it was nuclear, why didn't they(the Russian pilots) use protection from it?

"Cherno Alpha is a Mark-1 Russian Jaeger. Piloted by Sasha Kaidonovsky and her husband Aleksis, Cherno Alpha is the last of the Mark-1 Jaeger series ...  Cherno's MGS112 Recharging Energy Cell, a nuclear reactor, holds unprecedented energy reserves and incendiary fuel, while acting as a strong decoy for a Kaiju seeking the Jaeger's head."

also, look up how emp's work.

but Gypsy Danger(Who relies on Nuclear power) was Unaffected by the EMP, While the Russian Jaeger was Immobilized. I'm just telling you what happened.

In this movie about giant robots fighting sea aliens or whatever, it's critical to get this fact completely correct.

Worst Case Scenario, we found a plot error and have differing opinions of fictional characters.
