Summary: The globe-spanning conflict between otherworldly monsters of mass destruction and the human-piloted super-machines built to vanquish them was only a prelude to the all-out assault on humanity in Pacific Rim Uprising. John Boyega stars as the rebellious Jake Pentecost, a once-promising Jaeger pilot whose legendary father gave his life toThe globe-spanning conflict between otherworldly monsters of mass destruction and the human-piloted super-machines built to vanquish them was only a prelude to the all-out assault on humanity in Pacific Rim Uprising. John Boyega stars as the rebellious Jake Pentecost, a once-promising Jaeger pilot whose legendary father gave his life to secure humanity’s victory against the monstrous Kaiju. Jake has since abandoned his training only to become caught up in a criminal underworld. But when an even more unstoppable threat is unleashed to tear through our cities and bring the world to its knees, he is given one last chance to live up to his father’s legacy by his estranged sister, Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi)—who is leading a brave new generation of pilots that have grown up in the shadow of war. As they seek justice for the fallen, their only hope is to unite together in a global uprising against the forces of extinction. Jake is joined by gifted rival pilot Lambert (Scott Eastwood) and 15-year-old Jaeger hacker Amara (Cailee Spaeny), as the heroes of the PPDC become the only family he has left. [Universal Pictures]

It may not be nuanced, but it taps into something mythical — ferocious monsters rising from nowhere to be battled by 21st century swordfighters. And it’s exhilarating. Read full review

Pacific Rim Uprising is a loyal, if unremarkable, successor to the giddy original. Read full review

Respectable. Boyega adds real bounce and DeKnight delivers spectacle, even if the plot doesn’t strain too far from the original’s crash-bang formula. Read full review

Tim Grierson

Pacific Rim Uprising’s jokey tone fails to leaven the movie’s leaden clatter, and so any attempt on Boyega’s part to be heroic feels a bit shrouded in irony. But at least he registers: Eastwood may be even duller than Charlie Hunnam was in the first installment, and Spaeny plays the spunky Amara with maximum attitude and a paucity of charm.

Uprising is loud, packed with impressive effects and propulsive — or as propulsive as a car with no brakes going downhill — but it lacks the heart of del Toro’s original. Read full review

What’s most interesting about Pacific Rim: Uprising isn’t the movie itself — it’s how the cause of the impending apocalypse has evolved from the first to the second film, and how that maps onto apocalyptic stories more generally. Read full review

This is Transformers-level inanity. This is a blow to your head from a mallet. It will not make you feel like a 10-year-old, but it will make you feel 10 years older than when you first entered the theater. It is certainly not personal in any way, shape or form, just strictly chilly, corporate to a fault and somehow both chintzy and wildly overblown. Read full review

We got an awesome battle between 4 Jaegers and 3 Kaijus, what else do people want? That alone is worth the price admission itself.

decent movie. Definitely not worth the 4.4 its getting now. the comedy and action scenes were great. I didn't care for the main girl actress. She was pretty bad. But ignoring here It was a decent movie. I probably wont buy it but its worth seeing once.

Not bad but somehow lacklustre, somehow it cant live up to the original. Perhaps there is insufficient comedy, or insufficient chemistry, somehow its just meh but still ok to watch.

"Pacific Rim Insurrección" titulada así en castellano, personalmente no me gustó nada, la encontré aburrida, tediosa, pesada y sobre todo muy mal interpretada.

El filme es algo llevable hasta que pasa lo que pasa con Mako Mori ( Rinko Kikuchi ) a partir de ahí la película cae en caída libre. Mal guion, mala trama, etc. Lo tiene todo. No le pongo menos nota por los efectos, por lo menos están muy bien hechos. Le doy un 4 sobre 10. Mi Décima crítica u/o review de la sección de Movies.… Expand

This movie was disappointing. They took away everything that made Pacific Rim great and added nothing of value. This movie desperately needed a better script. Flashier and "bigger" isn't always better. It just had no soul.

I wrote a review but for some reason it wasn't posted so I'm just gonna make it brief. Bad story. Bad character writing. Fine acting. A lot of stupid crap. Rips off the first movie a lot but didn't even does it well.
