A more appropriate name for that would have been Pacific Theater or The Pacific. As they referred to the war in Europe as the European theater. They called the war in the Pacific the Pacific theater.
Theaters of war was the terminology used for this.

This is one of those movies where you go in, shut off your brain, and drool. It's big robots vs big monsters. If you are going into this expecting an academy award-winning film, you are going to be severely disappointed.

The logical fallacies of giant mecha robots in an otherwise regular world make me want to drill holes in my head so I can get on level with the average person that seems not to mind such stupidity being marketed at them every day.
Such a premise should only be acceptable in anime and comic books, where it is easier to overlook logic and common sense.
Same goes for every superhero movie.
Actually, almost any new movie.

The only logical fallacy is...
If you had the ability to build super robots.... and they would get the job done...why on earth would you not?
General: My God! Giant Monsters!
Scientist: We can build Giant robots to stop them.
Accountant: But wouldn't normal tanks and planea work.
Scientist: Yes
General: But so would super robots...

Accountant: But it would cost trillions more, no?
Scientist: Of Course....
General: But we could then fist fight the monsters?

But if it turns out v to be a Eva rip off, it will break my heart.
What would be wrong with Eva? Crazy monsters, mecha, special effects and girls in plugsuits for the general public.
Epic anime coming to life with potentially a more flushed out, steam lined story with hopefully a better ending for the fan boys.

^^^There was a scene mid-way into the credits. Didn't really make a big difference in the storyline or imply a sequel though. If you missed it, no big deal, IMO.
I did enjoy the movie, but for some reason, not as much as I thought I would. The story stayed light and avoided being a direct Eva ripoff but didn't forge any new ground in the genre. That's alright though. I do wish I got a chance to see a little more of the other Jeagers in action though. And I found myself annoyed at the Jeagers piss poor visual capabilities. All this $ dumped into these machines and effectually the only way pilot can see their opponent is by looking out the main window/viewport and some HID floodlights?!? I guess Eva and Gundam 360 view cockpits got me spoiled...

Corbic
07-14-2013, 07:27 PM
*SPOILERS*
Corbic's Re-Write of Excellence.
A. The wall was being built not because Jaegers were being destroyed but because the monsters had stopped coming after that giant class 3 that killed "Jack's" brother. Everyone felt the threat was over. Jeagers cost BILLIONS a year to maintain and England, Brazil and Germany have been kicking ass economically because they did not need to contribute to the Pacific Rim Defense initiative.
The wall would in the long run be cheaper and slow any attack down long enough for normal warfare to kill the creature and to have everyone evacuate. Mean while, two nut jobs in the scientific community kept insisting it was not over. One (the gimp) because of logarithmic math stating that what was really coming was a wave of larger creatures based on portal harmonics or some made up shit.
The other, Charlie, believed the creatures to be of intelligent origins and the first batch was a test wave to recon. Once the Jeagers came, they stopped sending creatures because they were working on improvements.
B. Marshals plan required 3 Jeagers. Once the wall was defeated he persuades everyone to give him the remaining Jeagers to make a last ditch effort to stop the portal. He has 4 running units and gathers the best crews, including Jacks.
When the double creatures attack - this is how it goes down.
China is doing good. It actually has 4 arms. 2 pilots control and arm and a leg each, the third an additional set of 2 arms. Think Ashura Templar from Five Star Stories. It has some serious crazy hidden arms that come out from the shoulder pads. Their designed to grab the enemy so you can hack it up.
http://oi35.tinypic.com/s1sq34.jpg
This is where Charlie's ideas start to sound real - as the creature China is fighting adapted to this special attack (like the A-Toll in FSS) and counters it. China is up shits creek. Meanwhile Russian is in Trouble. Australia goes to help Russia and just as they are getting the upper hand, China goes down freeing the second monster.
The monster sucker punches Australia from behind, doing massive damage. Just then the fat monster does it's EMP deal. Australia goes down - Russia being a MKI does not, but Russia is no match. It's soooo slow, all they can do is try and defend Australia. So Jacks and Mako head out.
They kill the two monsters, but when Gypsy falls, it sustains MASSIVE damage, a rod even stabs Mako in the side.
Everyone is now at base. Gypsy is tore the fuck up. Aussie is fucked up. Mako is wounded and Aussie Dad is dying from his wounds. You have your touching scene with "you don't have to say it dad, I already know from the drift" and the dad dies.
Mako will make it but she can't pilot. They HAVE TO HAVE 3 JEAGERS.
Then someone says - wasn't Prototype Unit 00 just put on display in Tokyo?! No-shit go get it!
Once again, paying homage to Gundam Wing and Zechs/Tallgeese as well as Eva with the name. Unit 00 is all white, but wait, WTF - it's uses only 1 pilot.
Enter Marshals dying story. He was the first to fight a Monster and save Tokyo. He saves Mako. But back then the US thought they could use computers to buffer the drift interface - no one ever knew who the original test pilots of Units 00 to 03 where, because all but one had died from brain cancer/hemorrhages, many shortly after combat.
Meanwhile, Russia, who is too god damn slow gets upgraded with parts from the stupid fast Chinese unit. Aussie and Gypsy get combined into a super unit - once again, a Gundam theme where mid-season all the original mobile suits get destroyed so the kids can buy new toys.
So we now have somewhat better Russia, and Super Gypsy as well as Unit 00. Jack and Aussie kid are force to put their difference aside and save the world - and become the super pilots.
On the sea floor shit goes bad. Marshal is having heath problems, Jack and Aussie just can't sink up - and Russia is frustrated. When the giant class 5 shows up, Russia is trying to fight it - but realizing it's futile, they detonate their reactor. Without 3 units, and the payload being damage - it's now a suicide run into the portal with the bomb - just as they are about to enter - Aussie kid ejects Jacks with a smug statement - "you're not about to upstage me old man, I'm saving the world - take care of Mako..."
He goes on to blow up the alien world - and die.
Marshal makes it to the surface to see Mako and Jacks... he's dying, and goes "did we get them" and Jacks says "yeah, we got them". Marshal dies, Mako cries in Jacks arms... zoom out for some serious Bro-age awesome panorama scene... "yeah, we got them".

. All this $ dumped into these machines and effectually the only way pilot can see their opponent is by looking out the main window/viewport and some HID floodlights?!? I guess Eva and Gundam 360 view cockpits got me spoiled...
Combat was right out of Robo JoX

You move your body and stare out the cockpit window -
Really, for me, the whole "sync-drift" thing only makes sense if you are completely controlling the machine with your mind. That would be more akin to Five Star Stories, Evangellion, Ghost in the Shell, Zone of the Enders and Robotech/Marcross.
FSS uses the "three pilot" concept. A Male pilot, a female Fitma and the Mortarhead (mecha) it's self has its own "essence". The Fitma basically acts as the conduit between the pilot and the machine.
Big O and the other Megadeus used glass cockpits as well, however they also used levers and hand controls. Big O was supposed to be a very 1930's style Mecha.

The "hammer punches" from Russia was a Big O trick, and I believe the "Rocket Punch" was actually either in Robo Jox or G Gundam.

God Damn it. We need a Macross movie.
Could you image how awesome this could be with the level of effects they have today.

Yeah, it REALLY annoyed me that there was a Kaiju within reach right off the port side, but their blindspot was so huge they couldn't see a 200 ft creature circling them. Damn, was their radar not worth a shit either? You gotta get positioning relayed from the base?!? Come the fuck on, man!!!
They could at least equip them with nightvision or thermal imagining for their underwater battles or some shit, right?

The crazy part is that this director was suppose to direct the Macross movie that was in plans for 5 years...But because nobody could determine who would get the money, the project was abandoned and this was born instead....
