To me it's more interesting at this point. I don't know which film is going to be better but I know which film is more interested in seeing. Engineers are more fascinating than anything seen thus far in Pacific Rim.

Wow, that is sooooo very different from my point of view 🙂

Either the Kaiju or the Jaeger are more interesting to me, let alone both!

What we got of the Engineers was... not too impressive. A let-down compared to expectations.

Well obviously I agree with quanch in this case. But I enjoyed Pacific Rim. Saw it 2 or 3 times, actually, not completely by choice mind you, but I didn't exactly protest. However, I've seen Prometheus probably 6 or 8 times. Heady, dark sci-fi is my bag, baby. I see no need to compare apples & oranges, well... in this case a finely cooked 3 course meal & your favorite bubble gum of choice.

Someone needs to make Del Toro a billionaire then, we need him helming a 'At The Mountains of Madness' flick and other H.P. Lovecraft works. We need him doing it right now. Now.

Prometheus and where it's going is better than a sequel to Pacific Rim.

After the ROFL pile that was the first Prommy movie we should only hope the 2nd one can't be any worse.

Is it King Kong + Godzilla + Jaeger + Mothra + Ghimora + ... 😕

Looks like Universal is pulling the plug on this sequel

Speculation points to the studio having little faith in director Guillermo del Toro after Crimson Peak (2015) failed to find a large audience.l

Seriously **** producers these days...

Crimson Peak did look kind of shitty based off the preview. I didn't even see the film. I'd like a sequel to Pacific Rim but I can see why they are worried.

Crimson Peak was actually good, But the way they advertised the movie was done wrong to appear to show it as a scary ghost story movie. When it was a Gothic romance.

It may be tomorrow, next week or maybe 6 months...but there will come a time when you regret making that statement.

Until then...A good day to you, sir!

Booooooo.

On the bright side, the comic is freakin' awesome, but I want my PR 2.

Del Toro should take it to another studio.

I'm not sure if he could since Legendary did the first one... and besides, Legendary is easily the most kaiju happy studio, if they won't do it, no-one will.

There is a new Pacific Rim ride at Six Flags Vallejo

C'mon Legendary, get the message!

I enjoyed Pac Rim, but I enjoy monster movies. That said, I can say I'm not terribly surprised this isn't getting a sequel, it barely made a profit.

Profit wise, it's on the cusp/could go either way, but fan-reaction wise it's quite positive.

It's action figures did well enough to get 6 waves (so far, and even doing minor characters like 'baby Otachi'😉. It's first comic did well enough to get a second comic with some absolutely sick art:

Themepark wants to do a ride, director and stars all interested even though they have other projects....

I didn't know they had that much merch, that's usually a big deal for studios. That art is pretty awesome too btw, I'll have to check the PR comics out.
