User blog comment:Master Plaga/Don't recommend saying Pacific Rim is an Evangelion Rip off on imdb boards/@comment-1458758-20130625164650/@comment-24.57.9.248-20130818013223

It's set in the near future where massive, 50 foot aliens called Kaiju come to Earth from a rip in dimensions. Their goal: destroy mankind. When humanity realizes that conventional weapons take too long to kill them (1 Kaiju takes 6 days to kill with normal weaponry), they create the Jaegers: 50 foot robots that are piloted by 2 people. The pilots connect their minds to the robot, and read each others memories.

It's a massive homage to the old Kaiju movies (like Godzilla) and the more traditional mech animes like Robotech and Gundam. I've seen Pacific Rim, and trust me, it's well worth watching.
