M and I went to see this today. I don't watch movies often, so I have no idea how Pacific Rim compares to others in its genre, but it was fun to watch. I, too, saw the Sea's Tooth in that scene. I appreciated all the character moments, especially the really beautiful spare way the father-daughter relationship was drawn. I disagreed with nearly everything to do with the engineering of the Jaegers and the military tactics, but I've come to expect that from action movies. Newt and Gottlieb were my favorites, unsurprisingly. I loved that with all the high tech, Gottlieb went to a blackboard to do his calculations, because of course. There's just something emotionally satisfying to chalk that you don't get from computer modeling.

What I really want now is the story of how the Drift was created; the heroes who were the alpha and beta testers of the tech. Also how Stacker manages to not bring anything into the Drift.
