Needs to get brought back to the top.

One of two movies I'm looking forward to (other is Superman with mayyyybe Wolverine)

Any engineers here? What kind of energy would be needed to power heavy robots to be able to do the stuff they are doing in the trailer?

An impossible amount. Massively more than our current technology could ever provide. Current nuclear reactor power provides a nice long source of usable energy, but we still have considerable difficulty with dispersing the energy in the quantities necessary and at the rates necessary. Because it would take incredible instantaneous transfers of a great deal of energy. More than anything we're currently capable of. Not to mention that the idea of building a mech or gundam or whatever, in the form of a bipedal human, is just reeruned. Stupidly inefficient. You'd waste a shitload of energy just trying to make it bipedal human like. There are infinitely more efficient forms if we're making a giant badass mech. And it definitely wouldn't be powered by two people at the same time. Derp.

They need a woman/man team to power one of the machines so they can inject a love story.

This reminds me of Signs.

Someone ****ing other than me: "Yes, the science was piss poor, but the whole point of the movie was FAITH. It sucked you in to teach you about FAITH."

Me: "Love alien stuff. Love Sci-fi stuff. And right after 9/11 this was the perfect time to make this movie. Sucked me in. Completely.

I was that guy in the closet watching TV.

BUT ****ING WATER? REALLY? ****ING SERIOUSLY?

You ****ing point out in the movie that some people in the middle east found out how to beat them first. You pointed out before that they moved to areas AWAY FROM WATER.

SO IT HAS TO BE FRESH WATER THAT KILLS THEM.

THE EXACT SAME $3IT IN CORN FIELDS 3 HOURS AFTER SUNSET!

I'm out. Done. I know...it's still a good movie in the way.....just.....****ing away with you..."

That does seem like a bad idea and also why is a ****ing giant human shaped robot the best way to combat ****ing giant aliens. Still the trailer looks great and it's Del Toro and he makes good things.

How would you explain that its a BAD idea? It's pretty obvious they use two pilots for operational redundancy/reliability, and even say in one of the trailers the two pilots are linked 'neurally' thus acting as one.

IT'S ****ING STUPID!

They take the time to point out it's a brain/spinal link and then point out TWO ****ing people steer the damned thing.

Ok, no. You're right. You're right.

Next time you go for groceries have your wife/gf/bf steer and you work the pedals.

IT DOESN'T ****ING WORK!1!

Perhaps you missed the point where they are 'neurally linked as one'. The trailers mentioned it briefly and so far we see them operating in synch because they are bridged. This is why they mentioned sharing memories, etc.

Even if that were possible, which it's not regardless of the level of technology, there's still no logical reason for it. There's no advantage to having two people neurally linked as one, while there would be countless disadvantages. If redundancy is a concern, then you have a backup pilot.

This. I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks this movie looks turrible/Barkley.

Some of that stuff could be done with hydraulics. Virtually everything on the sprayer and combine is done with hydraulics. But yeah, the response rate of the pump to do quick motions would have to be other worldly. Not to mention risk exposure of having the hydraulic hoses exposed to maintain range of motion.

I'm as big of a sci-fi nut as the next guy, but this movie does very little for me.

Yea I normally like Del Toro, but I'm sort of let down by the trailers. I mentioned earlier I hate the dark, murky cinematography. Have a feeling they set the action scenes at night in the rain to mask budget limitations. I think I like the idea better than the execution, but I hope it turns out better than what I've seen so far.
