Pacific Rim - the first trailer:
My first impression upon watching this was...wow! The sheer scope is breathtaking and audacious; I've been curious about this film ever since it was announced as a mysterious del Toro project (his
Labyrinth was a brilliant, unique fantasy). Yet, I'm concerned this looks something like a more intelligently rendered take on
Transformers (meeting
Aliens &
The Abyss along the way), albeit done with style & panache. We'll see.
