Anyone seen it yet? Had a friend tell me it was junk.

Long ago, legions of monstrous creatures called Kaiju arose from the sea, bringing with them all-consuming war. To fight the Kaiju, mankind developed giant robots called Jaegers, designed to be piloted by two humans locked together in a neural bridge. However, even the Jaegers are not enough to defeat the Kaiju, and humanity is on the verge of defeat. Mankind's last hope now lies with a washed-up ex-pilot, an untested trainee and an old, obsolete Jaeger.
Good scores on rotten tomatoes and an 8.0 in IMDB.

I did, to me, it was an anime in fast forward. They put way to much in, and didn't give you enough time to take it all in. The concept of the two pilots, kinda made sense. The movie needed to be longer, or take more crap out. If you want to see some bad ass robots fighting dinosaur monsters then go see it.
It was what I expected it to be, and more. It was an awesome monster vs robot movie, with enough plot to keep it from being retarded.
I love living at a time where the things that had to be restricted to cartoons/anime/comics is finally able to make it to the big screen.
agreed. it was a little too over the top for the wife...too much going on too fast. but giant robots fighting giant dinosaur-Godzilla looking monsters? win.
I enjoyed it. Just take it as a good ol' action flick with ass-kicking robots and monster fighting. I found the humor was well placed and I enjoyed Idris Elba character. Special effects were top-notch. Normally, something will clue in to me it's CGI during a movie, but that never happened watching this, I was thoroughly absorbed in it.
