Well made sequel to an innovative first movie. Yeah, of course it is not a perfect movie. But it does understand that it is not a "film" but a "movie" and doesn't take itself seriously for that matter. CGI is good. Music not as much as theWell made sequel to an innovative first movie. Yeah, of course it is not a perfect movie. But it does understand that it is not a "film" but a "movie" and doesn't take itself seriously for that matter. CGI is good. Music not as much as the first movie. The plot is better than movies of the genre have, the twist was good and didn't expect it. The fights were more than good, like, really. The only real downside is that the new kids didn't have much time to shine, and their stories felt rushed af. Also for those who say that it isn't directed by Del Toro. He procuded the movie, and wrote the script. So I don't really get your points there. Plus for those seeking realism, you don't go see a Giant Robots vs Giant Aliens movie...

The movie is a pure 7/10. But to counter the unjustifiably bad reviews some gave it, i'm giving a 9. Have a good day.… Expand

Now, the original did have the stronger dramatic and humanistic backbone to it. However, I felt the narrative to be weak. More time could've been spent on the supporting Jaeger pilots and as much as I like Ron Pearlman, his scenes weren't really necessary. This film may play things more safe, but it does a good job of it.

I kinda liked the new cast better than the old cast. John Boyega steals the show and has all the best lines. Yeah, they do recycle the concepts of the two main characters having chips on their shoulders and tragic backstories, but they still do a good job of it. The overall plot does play it a bit differently. I appreciated the switch to more of a thriller/mystery. (Don't worry you still get your monster fights.)

The films looks great. It is so refreshing for an action movie these days that uses bright colors and lighting. Action scenes are very impressive.

This movie doesn't doesn't reinvent the wheel for you, but it is a pleasant ride.… Expand

All move are 'heavy' and 'realistic' and 'believable' thus result in 'immersion'. Every punch is packed with weight with equal reaction. When the punch hit, you can see the reaction on both jaeger and kaiju.

Uprising? Everything defy physic so much that it break all the immersion. This time jaeger move around like a sheet of paper blow by tornado wind. Action happen so fast that they should create sonic boom and destroy everything around it. Watching this movie is like watching physic(cally) torture movie. Another insult to the injury is the jaeger designs. In 1st movie, each machines come with its own designs that define each personality and advantage & disadvantage. Now in Uprising, all machines look like they came out of China's mass production line.… Expand

First, let me say that I had absolutely no expectations from this film considering the last PACIFIC RIM was just above average for me. I was given a free IMAX 3-D ticket for this film so I said why not.

PRO: 1) Great family fun for kids andFirst, let me say that I had absolutely no expectations from this film considering the last PACIFIC RIM was just above average for me. I was given a free IMAX 3-D ticket for this film so I said why not.

PRO:
1) Great family fun for kids and adults alike
2) Mindless entertainment for seeing giant robots fighting huge monsters
3) Tongue in cheek humor
4) Great special effects especially if you see it in an IMAX 3-D theater
5) Action scenes one after an other
6) Much more entertaining than the 1st film

CONS:
1) Not a deep complex story
2) Geared more for kids than teenagers or adults 3) Story is simple and not the most original to set up action and possible sequel The only purpose for this movie is to see giant robots fight giant monsters. If you come to this wanting anything else you might be sorely disappointed. I got more than I expected in regards to the fighting. I left the theater with other older adults feeling satisfied. Even with the free ticket, I wanted to see more of what's to come next. It just brought back memories of my childhood playing with robot toys imaging epic battles. For this, I was very happy. So much so that I have bought tickets to see it once again in IMAX 3-D. The size of the screen makes you feel the gigantic size of the battle. Without it I'm not certain that I would of gotten the same feeling. I know most people saw this on a regular movie theater. So perhaps, their enjoyment might not have been as much as mine.

If you got kids or just a kid at heart like me, go see this on IMAX 3-D. I guarantee you that your kids will be smiling afterwards. Just as I did.… Expand

Riddled with silly moments and dialogue, even with five years in between this and the first film, the end result here feels rushed and very half-hearted. The only good thing the first film had over this one is that it came first, and therefore automatically felt a bit more fresh and fun, but other than that, this was also a mind-numbing and rather unnecessary sequel if you ask me. Oh and Scott Eastwood (Clint Eastwood's son who no one ever really remembers and who you may or may not remember from one of those Fast and Furious movies and a blink-and-you'll-miss-it role in Suicide Squad) had a major role in this. Sooo... ya.… Expand

None of the jokes work, none of the characters empathize, there are many plot holes and nonsense.
Even so, the film entertains a lot in its last 30 minutes, these are the ones that save this movie from having a 1. The final fight is very well made and it is quite a spectacle for the spectator. The special effects are very good, although at times they can be very artificial due to the lighting and camera movements.

Pacific Rim: Uprising

There isn't a single frame or a lose thread of this tale that endorses itself for it is flat out redundant in every bits and pieces of it let along as a whole feature to an extent where one starts raising question to its existence. Every aspect of it shouts that it is made for the box office account but still the makers must be aware that the audience is much smarter to expect more than just 3d visual effects and mind-numb action sequences. Steven Knight; the screen writer and director, needs a lot of work for their is barely a piece of art in it; everything is petty and cliched. John Boyega at the centre of it may be the perfect casting for this genre but it still doesn't suggest that hard work doesn't go in it. It has a childish script that is brought alive on screen by liberal editing (the premise barely was of 90 minutes) and execution that is loosely placed over as a favor to the audience. Pacific Rim: Uprising has a first act that basically just introduces multiple characters whose parallel tracks are visible far before it hits and then the second act arrives (which is supposed to turn the tables) that is predictable and disappointing only to end it in a big old vfx explosion and some cliffhangers for the upcoming installments.… Expand

Be warned, if you don't have a pretty good memory of the events of the first movie, you will be left behind and lost very very quickly. If you are familiar, however, this is a pretty entertaining movie.

They crammed soooo much into this movie it's ridiculous. They easily could have made it 2 or even 3 movies and I kind of wish they had. An awful lot of scenes felt like they should have been three or four times as long, and there's barely a breath between drama, action and comedy. So be well prepared going into this.

Was I entertained? Yes, very much so. Was I overwhelmed? Yeah, a little. Do I want more? Yes, but please let the next one pace itself a little better. Solid 8 out of 10 if it had been at normal movie speed, -1 point for that.

Also, be aware that you're going into this for robot/monster smashing action. You're not going to find a deeply philosophical plot here, but that was never the purpose of Pacific Rim. In that area, it does quite well (although the ending feels a little bit anticlimactic, but I can live with it).… Expand
