Loved this film. I can’t really go into much detail as I kinda explained why I like this movie in the “Favorite Sci Fi Movies” topic, though I’m still a fan.
Pacific Rim was awesome. It might lack a bit in substance, as some critics suggest, but the fights were awesome. Bashing boats and chain swords and undeniably awesome.
It was alright - though the action and music got a bit repetitive. They need to change-up the locations of the battles, introduce more music and generally have a better plotline as the characters were bland and uninteresting.
Rotten Tomatoes Review:
“It may sport more style than substance, but Pacific Rim is a solid modern creature feature bolstered by fantastical imagery and an irresistible sense of fun.”
I thought the battles were great. Remember when they hit things? Best part.
