[ghosthunter]

I just wanted to say that and that you guys need to see it.

Don't mind the cheesy lines and cliche characters.
This is a movie about giant robots vs giant monsters.

edit: oops. typo sa title

I was waiting to see if Mazinger Z or Daimos would arrive at the last minute to save the day... hehehehe

"Pacific Rim" grosses P83.25-M in 4 days!

MANILA, July 15, 2013 – The colossal showdown between monster aliens and giant robots destroyed the competition, as Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures' “Pacific Rim” grossed a victorious P83.25-million in just 4 days, opening at the top of Philippine box-office for the July 11-14 weekend.

This was announced today by Francis Soliven, General Manager of film's local distributor, Warner Bros. (F.E.), Inc.

“Pacific Rim” marked the year’s second biggest opening for Warner Bros., coming off the record-setting bow of “Man of Steel” last June. The studio also fired up the box-office last February with a No. 1 launch of “Jack the Giant Slayer.”

“`Pacific Rim’ continued the winning streak of Warner, and this bodes well for our remaining slate for 2013,” comments Soliven. “Frequently described as a nostalgic Valentine to fanboys, Guillermo Del Toro’s film has touched the hearts of a generation, while gaining new fans at the same time. It’s rip-roaring, monumental fight scenes and deeply human story have received critical acclaim and excellent word-of-mouth, and we’re excited to see how it will perform at the box office in the coming weeks.”

Warner has every reason to be positive since “Pacific Rim” is tracking higher than recently released movies in the same genre, namely “Wrath of the Titans,” “Real Steel,” “Battleship,” “Rise of the Planet of the Apes,” “Terminator Salvation,” “Prometheus,” “War of the Worlds” and “The Day After Tomorrow.”

Bowing in 277 screens nationwide, the futuristic action-adventure recorded the biggest receipts at:

1. SM North EDSA with P4.93-M
2. Trinoma with P3.28-M
3. SM Mall of Asia with P3.26-M
4. SM Megamall (P2.94-M)
5. SM Cebu (P2.92-M)
6. Glorietta 4 (P2.60-M)
7. Greenbelt 3 (P2.34-M)
8. Power Plant (P1.91-M)
9. Alabang Town Center (P1.87-M)
10. SM Southmall (P1.85-M).
11. Gateway (P1.78-M)
12. SM Aura (P1.60-M)
13. Eastwood (P1.56-M)
14. Newport (P1.54-M)
15. Theatremall (P1.53-M)
16. Gaisano Davao (P1.36-M)
17. Market! Market! (P1.34-M)
18. Ayala Cebu (P1.32-M)
19. Shang Cineplex (P1.24-M)
20. SM Fairview (P1.19-M).

In “Pacific Rim,” when legions of monstrous alien creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are synched via a neural bridge, called “The Drift.” But as the enemy grows more powerful with each attack, even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju.

On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes—a washed up former pilot (Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)—who are teamed to drive a seemingly obsolete Jaeger. Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.

Now showing across the Philippines in IMAX 3D, Digital 3D, 2D and regular theaters, “Pacific Rim” will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.

when they activated the "SWORD" weapon, I was wondering if it would come out from the chest of the robot... ala ... Voltes V... hahaha!!!

i was wondering lang why they used the sword as a last line of defense when they could have been using it from the start and killing kaiju's left and right. you post made me realize that, like so many other elements in the film, this was probably taken from robots like voltes v (and other asian inspirations) where the sword was only taken out during the final act.

Found this app that lets you create your own customized Jaeger -->
Pacific Rim - Jaeger Designer

Kailangan lang meron kang Unity Web Player plug-in, pero astig sana kung may mga Pinoy Jaegers, given that the Philippines was mentioned several times in the movie.
