A film to finally end the mechs vs tanks debate?

A teaser of sorts

Did.....did they actually use the voice of GLADOS for the suits?   Heart Heart Heart Heart


I'm totally down for this.  I'll do them a favor and pretend there is a really good reason that building a giant robot to punch the monsters in the face is the only way to kill them.   As opposed to developing some sort of mega armor piercing missile/cannon/laser/bomb that could be fired through their giant slow asses.  Then they wont have to, and we'll both be happy.

Evangelion + GladOS + Jax Teller + Inception Horn.

I think the trailer had everything I need.  I don't even need to see the movie now.

Hehe that looks like a lot of fun.

Thought... is using, for instance, the voice of GLaDOS so blatantly homage or plagiarism?

It's so definitley GLaDOS I can't help but wonder if the story is tied into Portal somehow.

Apparently Guillermo Del Toro got permission from Valve and hired Ellen McClain (the voice actor of GLaDOS.) So it's the real deal.

Wow, fair enough then, nice to see someone using someone else's IP properly, i.e. not just stealing it :)

Seeing as how the aliens came from a Portal in the sea, the connection to GlaDOS is lolworthy.  Be awesome if there's a twist involving some such near the end of the movie.  Cant wait.

The aliens are radar invisible and hence cant be targeted by the F-22's normal weapon systems.  They had no choice but to get in close with depleted uranium cannon shots.

It's the fucking Shogun Warriors vs. Godzilla on the big-screen. Fuck a bunch of "this doesn't make sense." This is a movie that was made for the 6-year old geek in all of us. The trailer is like one long nerd-rection.

When the giant robot gets flung over the highway at the end of the trailer, I said to my friend "Take that Michael Bay! TRANSFORM THIS!!!!!!"

This movie will have to do a shitton of really stupid things for me not to like it.

A kaiju movie isn't supposed to make too much sense even if it's a tale about the consequences of atomic explosions á la original Godzilla. I'm just excited that it actually seems to have a good director and a big budget!

I for one am completely disinterested in this Avatar meets Cloverfield. If shit is going to come out of a portal under the sea, it better have tentacles on its face and wings on its back.  why so serious?

Apparently Charlie Day from It's always sunny in philadelphia is on this too, he gets to hose the robots down (Charlie work).  Which explains Guillermo del Toros cameo on this season of sunny.

I look forward to all the discussion about how people in this movie make stupid discussions, how this adds nothing to the genre, how the use of lenses on cameras have are bringing down the art, how motion blur is a lost art and how this should have been directed by Stanley Kubrick and written by Tolkien staring Tom Baker.



Also the jet propelled punch was really cool.
