Ah! So cool.
Really good look behind the scenes of the visual and technical planning of Pacific Rim. Great job, whoever designed the book really got it right. I love all the little things "pasted" in like pilot ID cards, sketches with notes, stickers -- if I ever have a kid there will be a note from Mommy in there that reads "Grounded for life if you ever peel these stickers!"

Pacific Rim is a fun movie aimed right at the 11-year-old boy in all of us. Even if the ladies. This art book does a really good job of showing the development of the design and look of the movie. I do wish it had more rejected designs, because I always find those interesting, often more so than the ones that make it into the final movie. The behind-the-scenes peek at Del Toro's working style was equally as interesting.
This is definitely aimed at a niche market of movie fans, of which I am one. If you like these sorts of books, you'll enjoy this one.

Two thousand five hundred tons of AWESOME.
(I would like to have seen more sketches and early concept art but still, this highlights a very diverse range of work)
