universe that doesn't rely on any pre-existing franchise.

... as long as you don't count Transformers,

Ultra Man,

Power Rangers,

Godzilla,

Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots,

that stupid Hugh Jackman robot boxing movie,

or every anime ever made.

Pacific Rim.

When giant aliens emerge from this iTunes visualizer at the bottom of the ocean, the

entire world's resources will be spent on building giant robots to punch them in the face.

But these machines are only as good as their two pilots, who for no reason at all must

be connected by an overly-complicated neural bridge to ensure drift compatibility,

a system so advanced only family members can do it.

"You are drift compatible."

Or just two random strangers.

"We are drift compatible."

Or just one guy by himself.

This makes no sense - but it sure looks cool!

Meet Raleigh Becket, a hot-shot pilot struggling to maintain his American accent

"All those years I spent living in the past, I never really thought about the future."

And his co-pilot, Mako Mori, a girl so bad at speaking English

"I've studied your fighting techniques and strategy."

sometimes she just gives up mid-sentence.

"You promised me!"

Watch as these two awkwardly flirt in the classic will-they-won't-they relationship.

Then, for the first time in movie history... WON'T.

Suit up with these bad ass fighting robots.

"Crimson Typoon."

"Cherno Alpha."

"Striker Eureka."

And this one named after a stripper.

"Gipsy Danger."

Who comes fully-equipped with

ineffective elbow rockets,

painfully slow plasma canons,

and an incredibly powerful sword they forgot they had until about two thirds of the way

through the movie.

... Probably should've busted that out at the beginning of the movie. Don't you think?

Ride along with a Marshal, an ex-pilot forced to take cancer-causing future Altoids

but no amount of future cancer can stop him from giving the most awesome speech since

Independence Day.

"Today we face the monsters that are at our door and bring the fight to them. Today we

are canceling the apocalypse!"

[cheering]

Hell yeah!

So relive the summer's guiltiest pleasure that's either the most awesome dumb movie

ever made

or the dumbest awesome movie ever made.

So awesome!

So dumb!

Starring...

things your inner 9-year-old will love

giant robots

giant monsters

giant robots punching giant monsters

using shipping crates as brass knuckles

using a freighter like a baseball bat

bo staff fighting

colors!

a doggy!

aw, that's got three arms!

pew pew pew!

whoa!

and that one part...

where he's all like "Ugh"...

and the Kaiju's all "Rarr!"

Awesome Dumb Robot Movie

ummm...

Pacific Rim

Let's be honest: that movie was super dumb. But I still cannot wait for the sequel.

Thanks for watching.
