Responses:

not at first and certainly not by the trailers...but the movies are very different -- nm - Remlik Jul 13, 21:37
Both are Robot pr0n. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 13, 21:21 2
- But the robots in transformers are designed to be visually distracting and chaotic, which makes them harder to visually comprehend. - Beryllium Jul 13, 21:23 1
  - Oh, Pacific Rim was a vastly superior film, especially to the last TForm movie. - JaxSean Jul 13, 21:25
I talked about this in my forecast. Why you would see a Transformers movie but not this is beyond me. - Reagen Jul 13, 21:13 5
- My thought was having seen both was that the quality was pretty similar. -- nm - Dano Jul 13, 21:19 4
  - visually? or visually and story/drama wise? -- nm - Max Jul 13, 21:21 3
    - Both -- nm - Dano Jul 13, 21:22 2
      - I think? it was an intentional stylistic choice but the acting in Pacific Rim was horrible. -- nm - Dano Jul 13, 21:30 1
        
        Not compared to Sharknado (how the eff did my iPhone know this autocorrect?) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 21:31
for purposes of choosing how to spend my $15? no - charlie Jul 13, 21:09 11
- couldn't be more wrong. It's done really well. It really nails the feeling (I thought) of watching Robot movies when I was a kid that Transformers - Remlik Jul 13, 21:12 3
  - also, rewatching Ultraman (which i worshiped as a kid) they're pretty fucking awful - charlie Jul 13, 21:15 1
    - yeah they are to our jaded eyes. Del Toro with todays tech makes it look great -- nm - Remlik Jul 13, 21:17
  - good for it -- nm - charlie Jul 13, 21:14
- Having seen the Hellboy movies, I find it hard to call GdT's work "CGI bullshit", although it does grate on me the wrong way most of the time. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 21:11 6
  - i really liked hellboy(s) and labyrinth was very cool -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 13, 21:18
  - Hellboy was almost 10 years ago, before the CGI bullshit reached its current excesses -- nm - charlie Jul 13, 21:13 4
    - Transformers CGI was cluttered chaotic noise and bullshit. That was battleship's *plot*. I think pacific rim, by its very nature, avoids both issues. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 21:20 3
      - they all look like "Video Game: The Movie" at this point. -- nm - charlie Jul 13, 21:21 2
        
        Which is ironic, because the accompanying video games are SHIT. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 21:24 1
        
        and as long as they continue to sell they will stay shit -- nm - Bacon Jul 13, 21:43
Sure, I do. Just like I see a distinction between Transformers and Battleship. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 21:08
