the dancing by the two pilots was great, the jaeger's dancing looked like it was made of foam and string.

[@surdnalsacul036]

You have the moves like Jaeger...

[@jetaboysplayz1332]

Me inside: Dude. What the frick. Why? Me outside: Ahh, I see you are a man of culture as well.

[@aznperswazinable]

some of these parts are gonna be stuck in my head for years

[@adilator]

You thought the 2pac song in the trailers was bad? nerdist be like hold my beer.

[@leocoelho4536]

this man. he nailed it

[@BratiShunnaOfficial]

Not to much on 2pac

[@PickyPeeves]

No, this doesn't make my ears bleed like the 2pac one.

[@mrjoebot_4083]

Seriously... Everyone in the meeting was like good enough for us???

I'm going to see again this video with my friends just a few minutes before to watching Pacific Rim 2 🤔... I'm sure we'll come out of the theater enchanted with the movie 😜...

[@dumoneyyy]

I want the 3D model from this so bad

[@pizzabagelnh7192]

I've seen pacrim, but for some reason, coming into this video, I was still half expecting to see Jaegers to car drift

[@darrowharden1817]

pizzabagel nh Same actually. Like I came here fully expecting to see some Initial D drifting going on.

[@pizzabagelnh7192]

darrow harden lol. Yes. Upon finishing this video, I was severely disappointed, and thought that that would have been a better promotional piece for the film.

[@darrowharden1817]

pizzabagel nh Same here. I don't know what those marketing guys are doing up there or why they thought this was the best idea for a movie promo but someone needs to stop them.

[@two-face1041]

pizzabagel nh I’d watch that

[@blaze179]

Ok, this video confirms that there is only one Pacific rim movie.

When a movie studio gives you a bag of money you say yes...i guess?

[@TarEcthelion]

The speed of the movements messes with the sense of scale...

[@TarEcthelion]

Benni Sounds like a job for Kyle Hill... Because Science! I wonder what the policy is about pointing fun at paid promotional content on their own channel. :-P

[@JonathanMutsinzi1998]

its in movie advertisement like the Teaser was lowkey a propaganda for joining the military(Jaeger unit or whatever its called)

Its a fuckin joke video chill

This movie, I loved the Jaegers, but it had so much more potential.

Nice dance jaegers.

[@Optimus_stopmotion]

Till this very day i cant help but laugh at the woman who just randomly starts doing ballerina

[@cinemaina666]

How embarrassing

[@Dark17731]

Damn. You guys are pushing this movie.

[@jenyates3033]

Oh I hope you got paid a bucket load for this. The only redemption from this failfest is that someone somewhere is giggling about how much they got paid to allow it on Nerdist. I know you need to get paid guys, but did nobody realise how lame this was?

[@jhontalwashington2304]

Welp... the song breakdown at 2:00 was descent but I think most people never made it that far.

[@ThomasMusings]

LOL, I'd join after seeing that.

[@elsiespinoza4294]

THIS IS GOOD

[@cedricdesnoyers729]

Very funny❤

[@Mysterialic]

This is what the new sequel would be like? Okay, glad to know.

[@iMrBlankie]

yall really had some gems in these videos up until now.

[@fen4554]

Movie: *tries to establish sense of scale and weight* MV: *takes a crap on it*

[@dmitrykim3096]

I believe pacific rim is the closest to live NGE thing we can get from hollywood

[@sharpshootinggameplay7622]

Music is nice but the video made my eyes pour salt by itself

[@Kazuma11290]

And that was how the Jeager project lost all it's funding... again.

[@sycky]

This make Uprising a great fuckin movie

[@michelsml]

I'm not usually negative in my comments but....What a waste of time and money.

[@selvarajmunisamy6768]

Yes true waste of money.

[@NiwRam0]

The military leaders when new money for testing experimentals is approved xD

[@timonrachael]

Dude, Gipsy Avenger is dancing and I'm so happy that she is dancing!

[@nielsmichiels1939]

Well this just...........the movie is going to suck, isn't it..........

[@jetaboysplayz1332]

3 years late but yeah. It does kinda suck.

[@icdproductions]

Wow!

[@JonathanMutsinzi1998]

The pacific Rim Universe has some nice propaganda i'd probably join the army based of this advert🤔

[@herobreathes4287]

Im imagining this in the actuall movie.... welp

[@AbsoluteNerd69]

I like how their just casually just dancing with the 2nd most powerful pice of military equipment in the Pacific Rim universe and BTW jagers don't work like that

They don't even bother to stick to the rules of the universe and have the "pilots" doing different dances.

[@superstupidstudios2492]

This is nothing like pacific rim

[@OptimusMonk01]

Was gonna see the movie on Friday, until I saw this. Now I don't think I'll bother.

Thank you I’m gonna stick my head in a wood chipper now.
