There is more or less no plot. It's 2.5 straight hours of giant robots punching giant monsters in the face. And it was AWESOME.
What more plot does one need than that? Space Giants and Godzilla vs. Megalon were formative experiences of my childhood!
Inara: Mal, this isn't the ancient sea. You don't have to go down with your ship. Mal: She ain't going down. She ain't going anywhere.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The way I described it on Facebook was, imagine if the Gandalf v Balrog fight went on for about an hour, and Gandalf were a giant robot. And happened twice.
Throw in about 30 minutes of exposition and technobabble, and BOOM. Movie.

I'm blaming my mestrual cycle for wanting to cry watching the trailer for Planes.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I think this is my current favorite line from a movie review:
Like “Mrs. Dalloway” and “Ulysses,” “Grown Ups 2” unfolds entirely within the span of a single day; in this case, the last day of school in a small Massachusetts town.

Always Anti-fascist!
I actually did laugh at "Grownups", but I can't imagine anyone would think there were unattended plot threads or anything.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
That happened in May, Matt.
