Pacific Rim, mixed feelings about it over all, but pretty movie. Didn't help that I was the only person in the theater and IMAX theater at that which wasn't a good idea for me, but it was the only way left for me to see it before it completely disappeared from the theaters in my area. But 10+ for Idris Elba. Yum.
Didn't see Pacific Rim, but will give it a try. Agreed on Idris. Saw him in Guy Ritchie's 'Rocknrolla'. Very good actor & very easy on the eyes.

Not sure, I would say, run out and see it to my women friends/acquaintances. I enjoy blowup bang up movies more than I probably should, sometimes, but, this one, to me was way more niche in it's appeal if you ask me. But I do think part of my problem was that it was just too much for my eyes to take in on an IMAX 3D screen, I couldn't wait for it to be over near the halfway point. It was visually interesting, just too dark and too much to take in on that screen for me personally. Think there needed to be some other bodies in the theater for the sound to bounce of. I did enjoy the included performance by Charlie Day. There were a one or two other decent performances. The robots were well crafted, the aliens not as much and the story behind them was quite weak. Still it was what I meant to say earlier, a pretty decent movie.
Oh and yes Idris is delectable in this. He reminds me of a better version of an ex boyfriend of many years ago. LOL

I understand & I'm with you TR, in that, I don't need movies to scream at me... sometimes the volume is just too high, or the screen is too big/close with too much going on & I end up leaving with a pounding headache. I can't even stand the sound of a loud TV, but if it's a fast action flick, I'd rather watch it on DVD at home.
The SO likes to see Imax. I only saw one, Animals of the Serengeti. Here's what I recall... giant leopards flying at my face, feeling like I was going to fall out of a helicopter zooming at GForce-speed over wildebeests & I'm pretty sure a lemur riding a pelican tried to poke me in the eye.
I'm all for the movie theatre experience, but, some are too dark & too loud, so I'm fairly selective on what I'll venture out to see. At some point, I'll give in & see an Imax movie because he's been asking me to. You're brave to go with 3D. As a glasses wearer, that's another perk I avoid. My eyes would look like kalidescopes afterwards.

I love Charlie & the character he plays on 'It's Always Sunny in Phila'. It's one of the few complete series I have on DVD.

Have fun!
I was trying to avoid seeing it in 3D much less not wanting to see it in IMAX-3D But that's all they were running it end by the time I made it to the theater to see it. I knew before I went, I was making a mistake, but I wanted so much to see Pacific Rim before it completely left the theaters. I'm not really suppose to do 3D but I took a risk. Plus like you, I have a vision problem that doesn't exactly make viewing 3D movies a piece of cake. This was all around bad judgement on my part, but I wanted to see it on the big screen and boy did I ever. Lesson finally learned.
Have a great weekend and go see something good so you can come tell. I'm suppose to go see Elysium Sat, on a regular screen.
It was OK but seeing it was recorded in SLP mode,the audio wasnt as good as it could have been had it been recorded in SP mode! (Best recording mode) the video was ok..... (Nice colours)
Worst Australian accents ever- sounded like a Cockney trying to sound Scottish.
