Pacific Rim / Cloverfield - Blu-ray Forum

I know its not suppose to be, but Pacific Rims back story sounds just like Cloverfield. I think you could almost call Cloverfirld a prequel. Just wondering what others thought.

Maybe but Cloverfield is a pos while Pacific rim is really good.

Race Bannon · 10-14-2013, 11:57 PM

Both are just "monsters from the deep" without any real explanation. It's no so much the same back story as no back story. I'm glad they didn't waste time with an elaborate explanation of why it was plausible. We're just dropped into a world where huge monsters are causing problems.

Well, I watched Cloverfield a couple days before Pacific Rim came out, and they felt like a good double feature.

others thought this post could have gone in the existing Pacific Rim thread and didn't need a new separate thread started.

well i hated cloverfield cause it was like a monster movie without a budget

if you disliked how there weren't enough daylight fights then you might hate cloverfield cause there's not much monster

I didn't think they had much in common other than monsters. Loved them both. We need a Hollywood Gamera movie next.

THIS.

Although it's far from a perfect movie, Cloverfield was superior than Del Toro's over-hyped cliché-filled James Cameron-quality script. The story/characters/acting were so awful I was praying for the monsters to kill every last person on the planet. The action contained almost zero excitement. I was severely disappointed with Pacific Rim.
