I know that this is a few days old but this may be the most intense method of expression I’ve seen from Hideo Kojima since “!”. The man clearly is enthusiastic about the movie an wants to make sure people of his country check this movie out in theaters. Heck, Metal Gear Solid Aritst Yoji Shinkawa even made this poster for the film:

I have never imagined that I would be fortunate enough to see a film like this in my life.

This film is not simply a film to be respected, but most importantly, it let us dream the future of entertainment movies.

Pacific Rim is the ultimate otaku film that all of us had always been waiting for. Who are you, if you are Japanese and won't watch this?

I hope you would accept this inspirational love letter that had traveled across the Pacific, written by Director Guillermo del Toro.

I recently read some predictions that ‘Grown Ups 2’ will outperform Pacific Rim in the box office. I hope those prediction are wrong, although I’m one of those “weirdos” that enjoyed the first Grown Ups despite the fact that it reminded me of most other Adam Sandler movie, because Pacific Rim is something I’m Guillermo Del Toro is an internet darling. The stars of the film have begun popping up on talk shows and such and it’s looking like Pacific Rim will might get that momentum needed to achieve some appreciable numbers this weekend. I’m hoping the naysayers are proven wrong.
