Saw it last night around 10.
You guys were right about the visuals being great but I honestly expected a better story. i Felt like it skipped around too much and didn't really answer a lot of questions. I also hated the the movie did 3 time lapses within the first 30 mins I was actually confused for a second regarding what happened.
With that said the movie is still worth the 10 I paid (3d +student discount) but I can see why its not getting more hype.

Go in with zero expectation and try not to nit pick and you will enjoy the movie.
Watched last night. Too dope.
The Jaegers look waaaay better than the Transformers onscreen. Too clean.
The Transformers are a mess. Wires, exposed hydraulics here and there. You can barely tell who is who.

Watch Evangelion 1.11, 2.22, and 3.33
3.33 is not out in English yet. If you feel brave you can watch the original TV show + the end of Evangelion movie.

Not to get off topic but...

There's a subbed version obviously but there's no dub. Sorry I didn't specify.

Son, I'm not even sure what I just watched, but that might be the most badass anime clip I've ever seen :x

If you are referring to the Evangelion clip, those are not really robots.
Why do you think Del Toro went with bulky and slow mechs? Most Americans probably prefer the roided up dudebro version of things like Gears of Wars.

Didn't know there was new Evangelion stuff out. After I watched the cartoon series I was confused like everyone else and tried to make sense of it by googling stuff.

Anime creators come up with some of the craziest ish I have ever seen.
Pacific Rim>Transformers
It's an FU to Michael Bay which after how Turtles is looking someone else needs to do Battletoads correct.

Saw it today loved it.
I thought themain characters all acted well, Idris Elba always brings it. Charlie Hunham did good.
Pearlman and Day were funny and gave some good comic relief.
Fight scenes were epic.
Would of liked to see the other Jeagars fight some more.
This movie is better than any Transformers movie

To the people saying the story was bad or too simple:
Is there a way to make PR story better without it having me scratching my head like NGE?
(Honest question)
