The film does know what it's trying to be, often has some efficient pacing and target audience is never questioned, which puts it above a fair few similar blockbusters. The music score fits very well and has several energetic and haunting moments, though occasionally some intrusive ones.ĭel Toro does a fine job directing in the action and succeeds in maintaining the silly fun that the film was aiming for (being apparently a homage to the old Godzillas). The action and spectacle is exhilarating stuff and keeps one glued to the edge of their seat, they're big and over-the-top but that was what the film was going for and it succeeds wonderfully. The cinematography is immaculate, the editing slick, the set/production design audacious and with a suitable amount of grit, but the star visually is the special effects on the robots, which are mind-blowing and some of the best in recent memory. Starting with what 'Pacific Rim' excelled with, it is an incredible-looking film. Admittedly there are flaws here and they are quite large, but at the same time 'Pacific Rim' also does a good deal right. This said, being someone who has found much to like about some of Guillermo Del Toro's previous films, especially the brilliant 'Pan's Labyrinth' and who cannot go wrong with actors like Idris Elba and Ron Perlman in the cast, I watched it anyway. Reviews were mixed, and those who disliked it (some of vehement) were particularly vocal. Wasn't sure whether to check out 'Pacific Rim'. Reviewed by TheLittleSongbird 6 / 10 High in spectacle, production value and style, a little lacking however in the substance and depth Together, they stand as mankind's last hope against the mounting apocalypse. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes - a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi) - who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past.
But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. When monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end.
