The Pacific Rim Job

Why have you not seen the new Pacific Rim trailer?

Oh, you have? Well, let me clarify some details that seem to be circulating around the internet. The big one is that the pilots are not in the suits, but some underground warehouse controlling via remote. THIS IS FALSE! According to the Pacific Rim official website, blue prints provided of the Jagers clearly show each Jager has situated both pilots in the head to control the Jager. This is to mimic the human brain where the right side of the brain controls the statistics and math part where the left side of the brain controls the creativity and problem solving region. The same principle applies here where two people both control the same Jager but have different functions and communicate back and forth as one unit.

The second rumor is that it is Godzilla they are fighting. FALSE AGAIN! While they call the monsters Kaiju, which is what Godzilla was originally called in the Japanese versions, it loosely translates to Giant Monster. That is what they are fighting and it is not Godzilla. These are two different categories and just to be clear, there is supposed to be another movie called Godzilla coming out at a later date. Do not be confused of these two.

Third rumor that I see going around is that this is related to Aperture Science. FALSE, but I would rather it not be. Because the voice of GLaDOS can be heard in the trailer to mimic the A.I in the Jaegers, people are already making a connection between the videogame Portal and this movie. While it is the same actor portraying the voice, these are two different worlds. Portal world is a private enterprise about improving science with new technological advances. Jaeger world is government run facilities that build these machines specifically to combat the Kaiju.

Those are the facts. If you have any problem with those, I have two fists who would disagree with you.
