Hopefully the animated show is a prequel and tells us more back story on the other Jaegers.

Well, when you see how he treated all the secondary characters that were supposed to build that universe in the first place, they were all cartoony cardboard caricatures at best (australian pilots, the goofy scientists, Perlman's cameo) (and non-entities for the most part, see the russians and chinese pilots), I think he failed to flesh it properly so "expanding" it, I don't even fathom how boring and superficial it could be.(That middle part slog was so trite and cliche trying to build "drama" in a fishtank instead of giving us what we came to see thanks to Hunnam's blandness as a lead)

 

Blade 2's crew of misfits was more exciting to see interact if I got to choose.

 

I liked all the characters in the film. I thought they were fun. The film wasn't meant to be deep, but it's so entertaining to watch.

I guess home video sales prove now that sequels can happen because DVD & Blu-Ray sales. Makes me wish Dredd 2 would happen now.

[JohnnyGossamer]

The problem for me wasn't depth. The problem for me was the caricatures were dull and boring. All of them, aside from Elba, also a caricature more or less, and the scientists. And, maybe Pearlman. They were the only characters that truly felt like they belonged. I did fucking love the intro into the universe when they quickly ran through expository stuff. Wish it had lasted longer.

 

I also felt the score was well intended but sucked. Sucked the whole damn soul outta the flick. Brilliant creature, mech and, really, just general design all around though. I wanted the kaiju to win. The look on collective faces of the aliens breeding/creating when they lost was more emotive than anything from anyone in the film.

The sequel is real, wow

DVD and BluRay sales continue to tumble. If anything they're even less of a factor. They definitely weren't a factor here

[Guyver Spawn]

If Pacific Rim got a sequel because of home video sales then makes me wonder why Prince of Persia and Dredd didn't get one so soon?  Those two did better on home video then they did in the US.

PAC RIM was at 2.2X at the box office while Persia was at 1.68X must have not be enough in video sales.

Since the first one didn't work:

[filmscholar]

Tron Legacy 2 won't happen. Disney knows it lucked out with Tron: Legacy, and the curiosity factor won't get the audiences in again. 

 

"Tron 2" did WAY better domestically than "PR" so I'm shocked Tron 3 hasn't been greenlit considering but I agree, I think Disney was like OK let's just cut our losses.  But they did do an animated show to keep interest.  Also where are they really going to go with Tron 3? The Son was not a great character like Jeff Bridges.  At least with PR there is more to explore in the universe.  I feel Tron peaked.

Apocalypse canceled!

 

 

Next stop: Tron Legacy 2: Crow Banquet of the Haters.

Tron Legacy is fucking fantastic, pulled a Shay and saw it 5 times in IMAX. 

[Dementeleus]

T:L is awful. Tired, derivative, and uninteresting. 

[MrPink]

Would appreciate sequel solely for soundtrack purposes.

[Claire of Themyscira]

Honey, don't talk about yourself that way.

[Moviedweeb]

I thought TL had potential, but the writing was extremely poor. It was a solid IMAX 3D experience, sometimes stunning, but some of those scenes between Hedlund and Bridges were cringe inducing. 

[kayumanggi]

There is no reason for this to do good business anywhere except China

 

I doubt that.

[kayumanggi]

Is the cast returning?
