Just saw it and it was absolutely badass. Improper Dinosaur science and Independence Day-style plot-holes aside/included, it was awesome.

I think if they do a sequel it will pretty much just be Aliens. New portal, 1000 Kaiju, a Jaeger from every country on earth and a category 10 they all have to turn in to Mechajaegar (Japanese Mick Jagger) to defeat by thrusting a giant country-sized pelvic sword in to it's breach.

The Kaiju seemed a lot like the baddies in power rangers to me. Put a little figurine down, add water and instant city-smasher. I think one of the reasons they lacked sentiencewas because they were just like an 80's cartoon where the characters are defined by one core principle or personality and stay in that role. I felt like pretty much all the characters in the film were very much 80's cartoon characters. I guess they're all a lot like a 17th century beast fable in which each character wears the mask of a particular animal and takes on those attributes. You know what to expect from them without a backstory, which I guess is why the film just gets straight to the point. The Kaiju to me are like those clay figurines that get turned in to bigger and badder living magic the gathering decks each time trying to defeat those dastardly power rangers. Whether that's a metaphor or allegory for something I don't know, but it makes sense for them to be slight automatons as they are really the gladiatorial pawns of a higher power.
