When the first Pacific Rim came out, I thought, "Finally! Giant mech/monster movies have progressed to the point where a live-action Neon Genesis Evangelion can finally be made! (That project's been on indefinite hold since 2003, by the way)
With this movie, all I could think of is, "This looks like it borrowed a lot from NGE. I mean, A LOT." No spoilers, but if you've watched NGE, you'll get a very familiar vibe watching this movie.
