No idea how good or bad this is as all I've seen is the trailer but it looks like it's based on anime/manga such as Eva and Gundam even if only at a conceptual level. If nothing else someone involved likes giant mecha

The director Guillermo Del Toro was working on a movie adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's At The Mountains of Madness which got pulled just before this was announced. Del Toro is a huge nerd so I wouldn't be surprised if he based the Mechs on Gundam or another similar show, but the bad guy (tentacles) screams Lovecraft. It looks like Neon Tentacle Evangelion to me

Empire mag gave it 3/5 so yeah it's gonna be a hit coz the reviewer has been slated by other reviewers for missing the point of the movie(he gave the last star wars movie 5/5 and loved iron man 3 despite it being abit weak script wise). Japan seems to have mostly positive opinions on it so thats good as it means should he ask down the line, theres a big chance he'd get the rights to evangelion

Going to see this next Tuesday with my brother :-) Can't wait, He's incredibly super excited too. He's really really into Gurren Lagann and Evangelion so this looks right up his street
EDIT: Just came back from seeing it :-D Soo much awesome :-) The stories a bit thin but the fights! Oh my god the Fights! Can't wait till that's out on blu ray so I can watch it again
