When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge, but even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes - a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi) who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind's last hope against the mounting apocalypse.

Great movie to exploit your HDTV and HT system
When I first saw this movie I knew I was going to buy it. I waited because most of our Indian releases cut corners for some unknown reason they usually release an incomplete product. I always check out the prospective bluray I plan on buying on Amazon US and Bluray.com etc to make sure what the actual package contains. So the US release contains 3 BDs and 1 DVD. In this case i was surprised to see that they apparently did not cut corners and contained 3 BDs so i decided to buy it.First the movie is great. Cheesy dialog and all but the movie is crafted beautifully. The HD presentation and sound are next to flawless. The 3D has some ghosting in the periphery but not bad. Great extra featrures including director commentarya dn also i think Hindi and ?Telugu dub alsoNow the reasons I removed 1 star.First of all the BD cover art you get is totally different from the one shown here.During delivery the cover got dinged a bit so the cover doesn't close properly. The first steelbook I decide to buy and this happens!

A very good 3 disc Blu-ray edition, only lacking the 7.1 DTS HD Master Audio track
Its a very entertaining movie. The blu-ray set is a 3 disc set with a 3D blu-ray, a 2D blu-ray and the Bonus features disc. It has all the features from the US/UK editions. The director's commentary by Guillermo Del Toro is excellent. Only complaint about this disc is that it does not have the 7.1 DTS HD Master Audio track which the US edition has. It contains only the 5.1 DTS HD Master Audio track, which is very good, but the 7.1 would have been better. It has the German 7.1 DTS HD Master Audio track on the 2D disc alongwith the Hindi, Tamil and Telegu tracks, if they could re-author the disc for India by adding these tracks, could'nt they have replaced the German track with the English one? This is just carelessness on part of Sony DADC.

One of the coolest Monster movies!!!
This is one of the coolest monster movies in years. This movie is directed by the visionary director, Guillermo Del torro (HellBoy, Blade 2). The movie has tons of special effects, visual effects and monster sets that will take your breath away and is a lot bigger than Transformers.Every giant robot has been designed uniquely suiting to the different countries. Excellent detailing has been taken care for the animated Robots and the Kaiju monsters. Charlie Hunnam, Idris elba give some sparkling performances in the film and some comic relief from actors Charlie day, Burn Gorman and Ron Perlman.As for the DVD package it has two DVDs inside; One has the movie itself which is a DVD-9 disc and the other disc which is a DVD-5 contains a host of special features including the making of the film and lots more. The movie disc packs an excellent Audio/Video and has a great quality ideal for home theatre applications.Thanks to Amazon for the great packing and extremely fast delivery as always!!Good work Amazon!!!

Step-motherly Treatment to Indian Market. No DTS-HD MA 7.1
Note: My Review was meant to blame Indian Edition Blu-ray not the Movie. I liked the movie because of the OST it carries throughout the movie. I don't care about Bad reviews. So My Star Rating 2 is for Indian Edition Blu-Ray.Purchased with Awesome Price and I couldn't sleep until it arrived. But when it arrived I couldn't sleep until I raise and Return the product back to Amazon. Fortunately I didn't touch the seal and Amazon is sweet enough to refund me as soon as possible.This movie originally have DTS-HD MA 7.1 monstrous track in International Version as well as mentioned in Blu-Ray.com.I don't understand Why Sony DADC couldn't release the same international audio versions in Indian Market too. Even people who own 5.1 at present may upgrade to 7.1 gradually then imagine the feeling of owning only 5.1 versions Blu-ray when actually that movie is 7.1 OST. That's my Feeling right now. Having 7.2 (2 SubWoofers) channel at home and getting only 5.1 blu-ray discs is never going to happen in my life. Luckily I have friends and Relatives in USA and I could able to get Original intact Audio Region free discs at same price or even low prices sometimes with more Bonus material where Indian market could only dream off. I could feel the difference between 5.1 and 7.1 audio track in the same movie in my HTS.Sony DADC please listen to consumers especially people who are having 7.1 channels.

Great movie
This is Bluray review, not movie review.When you see this movie on 3D TV, first word will come to your mind is "OMG". It is must have movie for all 3D TV owners & Home Theater owners. Picture & sound both will blow your mind away. It comes with 2 discs, 3D & 2D. So buy it if you still haven't!!

Superb in 3D
I avoided buying this movie for a while, thinking it was part of the transformers series, but it is something completely separate.Great action and the 3D effects are some of the best I have seen.

Super
An excellent sci fi action movie and I love it when I get the blu ray dvd that comes with the slip cover. Even better again is the slip cover is holographic art work.

Fantastic Visual Effects
I have seen some brilliant CGI effects and this is one of my favourites visual effect by far. Man of Steel is also a brilliant CGI movie as well. The only downside of Man of Steel 3D effect that put me off was the screen size BUT this movie fills up the whole screen of my 3D HDTV which is a plus bonus. I could watch this all over again. Fantastic!!!

One of the most effective 3D films I have ever watched.
Specifically a 3D review:A three out of five film upgraded to five out of five by the ABSOLUTELY STUNNING 3D !!!.One of the best 3D films I have ever watched - [and I have around twenty-odd 3D films] - This one is amazing and it is evident right from the opening credits. Recommended Robots vs Monsters fun !!!
