What a beautiful movie!

Purely Joyful Movie!

There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Garbage. Mindless crap. This is a bad movie. This movie is not good.

It is similar to the first Transformer movies but with more adrenalin and less finesse, humor & interesting actors. I just barely managed to get through it, with the help of the FF butoon at times. Do watch the sequel from 2018 though, it is much better.

All the time I was watching Pacific Rim, I thought of myself as a little boy playing with my robot & dinosaur toys in the tub. Further proof that men are always boys at heart, no matter how old they get.If I wanted to criticize PR, I'm sure I could say that it was a bit cliched or over-the-top, but movies like this are like comfort food: you' know what you're getting and it just feels good.Cook up some popcorn, get in touch with your inner child, and enjoy the ride. :-)

Boom! This is what we all wanted. Colossal mechs punching the blue blood out of enormous beasts. Del Toro presented the sprawling action how he knows best, visual splendour and cinematic showmanship. Now, this is no means perfect in fact I would only say it's good, but I would be lying if I said I don't enjoy it. In the near future, Earth is rapidly becoming ravaged by Kaijus who are spawning from a mysterious teleporter in the depths of the Pacific Ocean. Humans retaliate by building and piloting gargantuan mechanised weapons known as Jaegers. And so we watch the enthralling action gripped to our seats as we shout "Yeahhhh, punch it, slice it, rip its head off!!". Del Toro has always been a visual director, and Pacific Rim is another great addition to his filmography. The neon lighting backdrop of Hong Kong where the ensuing battle rages on in the consistent downpour within the city's bay. The glowing venomous blue eyes of the Kaijus as they catastrophically cause chaos through animalistic means. Numerous characters sacrificing themselves and destructively being ripped apart as they attempt to save their world. The stakes are high, and so is the production value. Full marks for visuals, direction and sound editing. Charlie Hunnam may have the physicality as he boisterously waltzes around the Shatterdome as if he owns it, but his acting is as monotonous as a broken metronome. Rinko Kikuchi is just a total babe, and certainly underrated in everything she's in. Idris Elba gives the best speech since 'Independence Day' as he motivates his pilots in "cancelling the apocalypse". Everyone else? Functional. Charlie Day plays one of two irritating scientists and consistently annoys the heck out of me with his high pitch squealing. The story is fairly basic with limited surprises, but I'm sure you expected this. The first half is unquestionably slower than the second. However, you wanted titanic combat sequences, and you certainly got them! Monstrous popcorn entertainment, just lacks that extra punch.
