Directed by Guillermo del Toro, it's a movie about two people piloting these giant mechs called "Jaegers" (German for "hunter") in order to combat invading Kaiju (Japanese for "giant monsters).
I love this movie, and I REALLY hope it does better in the long-run, and people don't immediately dismiss it due to it's initial weak first weekend box office performance. My friend and I saw it, and we both thought it was weird how the theater we went to had very few/limited showings of the movie. that might help explain it. The saddest thing, for me anyway, is that it's being beat-out by Grown-Ups 2...
And Despicable Me 2, but for some reason, I feel more forgiving with that one.We also saw it in 3D, and let me just say, it really added to the experience... for me, anyway. It was just awesome all the way through! It also had quite a few funny moments, not unlike The Avengers last year!
Hard for me to say anything else about the movie, because, well, I just want more people to see it! Really, the plot is incredibly straight-forward and easy to follow. Some MIGHT say it's a little somewhat silly, but the execution really makes you not only forget that but go along with it! The movie has real franchise potential, and it just looks amazing! The Jaeger and Kaiju designs, I can't even begin to describe how cool they look!
Ugh, so many good things to say about this movie...
