I agree. Stompy fun! And Someone said it best else-forum:

Well, they're lifting inspiration from everywhere, aren't they? I definitely felt a little Evangelion in the mix there...

The shot with the skeleton on the aircraft carrier, and the fact that one of the robots had 4 arms definitely gave off some Eva vibes.

Not that this makes me unhappy Smile

"Today we are cancelling the Apocalypse!"

I just about busted a nut simply from that line.  (Which reminds me, it'd be way cool to see The Salvation War made into a series of movies -- if only to hear the fundies scream bloody murder about them.)

Big Brother is watching you.  And damn, you are so bloody BORING.

I will admit I geeked a little over the glad os dialogue. I hope that actually makes it into the movie.

I also note there was only one scene in the trailer with shaky-cam. I really hope thats true for the movie too.


- DHBirr - 12-16-2012

For what it's worth, the Wikipedia article on GLaDOS states as confirmed that the voice actress, Ellen McLain, is voicing an AI in Pacific Rim -- not just the trailer.

And Del Toro confirmed it too.  I believe it was in this interview/trailer analysis somewhere.
