Have you tried the internet? It's made out of millions of people missing the point of everything and then getting angry about it

I too wish to view oil tankers being used as melee weapons.

I think this is the first time a movie that wasn't porn that's given me wood. Yes please.

Well, the buzzsaw blades kinda put a hole in the acid blood idea. I don't even remember where I read that.  Can't wait to see this. It's probably going to make my "See in theater" list, and that list is short.

Yeah, if you are the least bit interested in this it must be watched in the theater.

Robot jox had a distinct lack of monsters or for that matter, robots that actually did cool shit.
If your entire giant robot exposure has been robot jox then I feel sorry for you.

Considering 99.99% of the planet did not watch or even know what Robot Jox is, I don't think there will be any issues. Also this looks great, will be there opening night IMAX.

Can we also give a little credit for making the giant robots feel like they have some actual weight to them? I realize physics and this movie are not compatible but having the robots not flipping out like metal ninjas is refreshing.

Robot Jox was a great movie! I fucking loved that movie when I was a kid.

Yah, not sure where the hate for Jox is coming from. Definitely was not a bad movie, especially given the time it came out in. As for P-Rim, love it, but king d-bag is in it so... I'm torn now.
Seriously, why do producers keep casting this guy in films where the moviegoers really dont want to see him? At least Gi-Joe2 had the sense to kill him off early. Hmmm, maybe he dies early in this too. One can only hope.

Robot Jox was not a good movie. At all. Having said that I also fucking loved it as a kid.

I am pretty sure you can't swing a tanker like that, because it would break before. And why is puniching in the face better thank a nuclear bomb?
But don't bother replying. I am the kind of person who cares about realism in SF films and immersion MMORPGs. *sigh*

Nah, I had the same issue when I saw the tanker. Much like how giant robots and monsters get thrown in to buildings that don't topple but stand like they were trees. I'm pretty good at the whole suspension of disbelief thing for some ideas, but everyone has their line.

Are you confusing Channing Tatum with Charlie Hunnam? Because you shouldn't.

-The tanker is likely a newer double-hull, reinforced keel-spline design and it was likely empty when the robot swung it. -The aliens come from another dimension where the same laws of strong & weak nuclear forces dont apply, so they're unaffected by nuke attk. Plus they're in the cities and we'll not nuke our own cities. The portal is located deep underwater so likewise.

Beings from another dimension are subject to the laws of the dimension they are currently in, unless phase-shifted and therefore unable to affect the current plane of existence.
So that's a terrible explanation.

This is going to turn into a discussion of Tanks vs Mechs: the Movie, isn't it? I just want to see robots punching godzilla and rodan, and it looks like that's what I'm getting.

A robot is superior because it would be a really boring movie if a box rolls up, fires a big gun a few times, then goes home. Put it on water and you've got Battleship.

Why did they make their giant robots only the same size as the monsters? Why not make a ginormous spider mech like 5 times larger than the monsters?

One of the robots looked like it had 4 arms, so that's a start.

I still don't understand why they don't use tanks instead of mechs.  a) The mobs could just step on a tank b) Tanks cant deal with underwater environments well, which is where these things play much of the time. c) A big enough tank would be way too heavy. d) It's obvious explosives just dont work on these things. You need hydraulics, servos, fusion reactors, et. al. Beings from another dimension are subject to the laws of the dimension they are currently in, unless phase-shifted and therefore unable to affect the current plane of existence.
So that's a terrible explanation.
Not if it's a higher dimension!
