    Pacific rim is worth every second. And not the sligthest bit heretical.

    Nothing like some giant mechas to invoke your inner ten-year-old aye? :D

    Pacific Rim is good as long as you don't pay attention to the story.

    Main Flaw: You got plasma cannons on huge killer robots but not as a turret version to build into the massive wall you are building against these aliens OR mounted on helicopters OR on Tanks or any such thing.

  4. This is why I hate/love some science fiction movies. I think Avatar and Battlestar Galactica were two of the most realistic sci-fi movies/series ever that combined known works of physics and technology without being terribly unreasonable.

    Gravity slingshots for the win!

    Stargate SG-1 for lyfe bro.

    I never could get into BSG personally. But I agree. I love when it's totally over the top and it doesn't need to make sense or such like Star Wars, lightsabers + telekinetic powers and lightning out of your hands? We are a go! :3

    Or you know, Wh40k. Nothing really does make sense and the less you think about it - the better for your sanity.

    Oh I also loved Interstellar because of the realism.

  6. Well, the one that did have the plasma cannon had a Nuclear engine for a power plant to power it. So, maybe they didn't want to build so many nuclear plants for the wall and just hoped thickness would be viable? :p
    (which of course might rule out putting one on anything smaller than a jager.)

    Yeah because you can power an entire city but not a single Plasma Cannon on top of a wall that makes the Great Wall of China look like a lego playset, sure let's go with that :3

  9. I mean, when you put it like that. :p (The nations were also being huge cheapskates, cutting funding for jaegers cause a wall was cheaper....somehow.)
    But yea, plotholes will be plotholes. :D

    People have a problem with the logic of the giant robots when there's an extradimensional portal that leaks giant monsters into the ocean? :p Just enjoy the movie :D
