    Pacific Rim

    I finally got a chance to watch this over the weekend. It is a fun little picture. Monsters fighting big mega machines powered by people. I don't know why it didn't do too well in the theater as I'm sure the action sequences would have sounded and looked better over my small 42" screen.

    I had the sound coming through my new sound bar and it makes a huge difference over the TV speakers. Will have to spin it on my main system and demo some of the fight scenes.

    Here's a link to the other thread.

    having grown up in the Ultraman & Thunderbirds generation as a kid, i found this film extremely entertaining, well scripted, decently acted & well produced.

    light fare for us old fogies in search of a little nostalgic adventure.

      Yeah, I'm sure I commented in the original Pacific Rim thread. Thoroughly enjoyed it as a guilty pleasure popcorn flick action-robot-monster movie. Bought it on 3D blu ray. Thought I heard they were making a sequel.

      Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

        If you watch the series on TV when you were growing up like I did you will love the box sets of the Thunderbirds. They have re-mastered the audio to 5.1 and they did an excellent job. My 8-year-old son just loves these DVDs. There are three episodes on each disk, two disks per box set and two box sets....

        Pacific Rim on Blu Ray.
        by Dmantis
        hello all,
        I picked this up Yesterday and watched it last night. Well I gotta admit I love it.
        This movie really took me back to a time when life was simple and fun. It reminded me of Ultraman, Johnny Socko's Robot and Space Giant. For the Younger Crowd Power Rangers come to mind....
