Myrddin Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 *ROTFL* Is giving control of unstoppable giant war robots to GlaDOS really a good idea?Maybe there will be cake.It's a lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red snow Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Why is the guy from SoA getting work? He's such a horribly bad actor.Is that the one who plays clay? He's a favourite of Del Toro's and he's got the kind of face/build that makes it easy to turn him into a monster which always helps.The trailer could have done without the transformer sound effects as it's already pretty clear the film should appeal to transformer fans (and godzilla fans). Hopefully it makes more sense than a michael bay film but to be honest; mecha vs mosters is absolutely fine by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polishgenius Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 I have no concerns of CGI from seeing this.One thing that's worth noting is that, while there will obviously be hefty amounts of CGI, Del Toro's gone with as much practical effects shooting as he can - the sets for this thing were vast. Apparently at one point they recreated an entire Tokyo street and set it up with pneumatic shockers so they could make the whole street shake with the monster's steps without CG. And there was a lot of demolishing going on.Which is great, CG always works best when there's good practical work backing it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis Buck Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I have to say that the trailer didn't impress me, and I've really been looking forward to this. It has gotten a lot of hype, so maybe I was hoping for a bit too much, and it's not fair to judge it solely by the trailer. But nothing there blew me away. That being said, I didn't expect to like either of the Hellboy movies very much, but I did in the end, and of course Pan's Labyrinth is fucking awesome, so I'll certainly see this regardless. I'm still optimistic, though my hype has been slightly diminished.I'm curious to see whether this or the Gareth Edwards Godzilla remake is better. I used to be super into kaiju shit as a kid so I'll see these movies either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Mostly looked generic to me. Which is fine, I had no expectations in the first place. I am intrigued by GLaDOS however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mexal Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I think we also need to understand that the movie isn't coming out for 6-7 months. A lot of work will be done between this first trailer and the end result. I trust Del Torro to make good decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's like a bearded Kirsten Stewart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DivisionByZero Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I like what I've seen so far. For a first trailer, it looks pretty good to me. I'm always willing to give giant robots a chance, and GLaDOS is just the icing on the cake, lie or not.Oh, and Jax isn't that bad an actor. I've never really been put off by anything he's done and he's got a lot more range than Kristen Stewart. Of course, a block of wood has more range than Kristen Stewart, so...

karaddin Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Seriously though, what's up with GLaDOS? Is it just a bod to portal or is it going to be more?! So random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aka The Rat Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I honestly get the video game and anime comparisons, but being a man of fogey inclinations, my mind immediately went two beloved childhood obsessions during that trailer.First the obvious one where giant, rampaging monsters are concerned: . . . and then when the mech fist pound happened.At that point I was ready to love this movie. Nostalgia is no indicator of quality cinema, obviously, but one can hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLU-RAY Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 If this is just happening, it looks mildly amusing- could be neat, could be awful entertaining, could just be a couple hours of mindless giant robot violence. All good, all have their place.If this is happening instead of some sort of legitimate Cthulu movie, though, fuck that noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svardineni Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 That mashup of the trailer with Evangelion was hilarious. I don't think I can take this movie seriously now lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewBaelish Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I think this just qualifies as a teaser. Remember the big hullabaloo about the comic-con footage? They obviously (hopefully) saw a different clip than this that made it seem mindblowing. Plus, even though the cgi isn't up to snuff, like Mexal said they have a few months left to finish it.Hate to say it, but it's like the New Moon teaser. The original teaser for it, the wolf looked horrible. Then by the time the movie came out, they had improved it quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comic con footage was apparently a huge success, and counted among the cons' top highlights along with the footage shown from The Hobbit, Elysium and Man of Steel.
