Pacific Rim

Tired.

Watched Pacific Rim yesterday. peoplhi described it pretty succinctly. Pacific Rim = Neon Genesis Evangelion + XCOM: Enemy Unknown. I mean, I was wondering what had happened to the Evangelion movie I've heard was in the making years ago and when I saw the trailer to Pacific Rim, I knew that was what had happened to Eva. Surprised it was directed by del Toro though. It's actually fun when you know what you're looking at.

Things I miss from Eva not present in Pacific Rim:
  1. I guess that young Australian guy was kinda synonymous to the role that Toji played (as the tragic bully that befriended the main character) but Toji's story was much more human and brutal.
  2. Kaworu, the human-looking angel/alien. He was cool.
  3. The female characters in Eva were all interesting and all levels of fucked up. I suppose Mako is supposed to be something like Rei but Mako was too cute/adorable. I even missed Asuka.
And there's a possibility that del Toro might be working on an HBO version of Monster. He might have a thing for good manga/anime. Cool.
