As for the human suits, I think they fit the premise quite well, almost pieced together as if they just grab what they have available or what suits their taste (if I remember I think this is a long battle so I think flashy or polished doesn't work)

Gotta wait on the robo and creature designs but as with EVERYTHING you can already see people drawing their lines in the sand as to what style they like and don't.

Personally I like a cool looking and acting robot and or creature. Don't care if it looks like a modern Optimus Prime, the Iron Giant or freaking Robbie the Robot, as long as it looks cool and works in it's role. I believe we will have a variety of designs from "Super Robot" to more mechanically unusual and or proper designs. I got no problems if we have the whole group of Shogun Warriors (I think that would be awesome BTW LOL) I just want the movie to be great and lead to other giant monster movies beyond Godzilla.

I mean heck, if you had never seen any jungle animals and I said "I'm making a movie about these creatures and showed an elephant, gorilla, giraffe and lion, I'm sure people would be like "WTF is that hairy person? it's arms are too long and legs too short"

Meh, I guess it's inescapable, movies will forever be picked for every nit years before they are even shown.
You must show no mercy, nor have any belief whatsoever in how others judge you... for your greatness will silence them all!

From Collider:


From BC:

[quote="Brendon Connelly"]
The bad news is this: after today’s Pacific Rim panel at Comic-Con, promotions on the film are going dark. According to Guillermo Del Toro, there will be radio silence on the film from here until the end of the year.

The 6,500 of us in Hall H have just been unusually lucky, then. And the atmosphere her tells me that we know it.

The Legendary and Warner Bros. panel kicked off with curtains peeling back and a multiple projector show starting up, playing footage from Pacific Rim, and behind the scenes images from the making of the film. The unifying factor between the images would be how beautiful well lit and photographed they were.

When we got to see the unique, one time only trailer, it opened with what appeared to be a parent and child walking along on snowy beach using a metal detector. It picks up something… something big and metal. A huge, stumbling mech – a Jaeger robot.

In subsequent scenes we saw the operators taking control of the Jaegers, two at a time. There were lots of shots of huge kaiju, the giant monsters that threaten life on earth in the world of Pacific Rim.

Idris ELba’s character was heard giving a pep talk to Jaeger pilots. Armageddon is going to get its ass kicked.

Elba operated with his typical magnetism and gravitas. The Hall H crowd were in full on fist pumping mode by now.

In the Q&A, Del Toro talked a little about the formal choices, and some camera choices he made. “We have oil and water [on the lens] and shake and we add scratches to the lens… at times the camera can’t clear the whole height of the robot or the kaiju. Well, I’m not keen on that kind of stuff, but the camera work we saw in the trailer was quite simply astounding.

There’s “no "OH GODZILLA! WHAT TERRIBLE LANGUAGE!" motion capture, it was all key framedâ€

Sounds cool. I just hope that the kaiju isn't too closely related to Guiron in appearance. Guiron is in my top 5 kaiju...I want him to be his own thing in a future move maybe.
