Review of Pacific Rim Full Movie

Review of Pacific Rim Full Movie: Pacific Rim is released on July 12th, 2013 (In American Time). Pacific Rim is full of action, adventure & fantasy film. This movie is fucking cancer. So why am I talking about Pacific Rim: Uprising - a movie that was panned, bombed, and the world forgot it even existed? Because you need to share my pain. 

If you saw the original Pacific Rim several years ago, then you might be aware that it was an attempt by Guillermo Del Toro to merge "giant robot" anime with live-action Kaiju movies and a VERY high dosage of Independence Day. It was moderately successful, and for the most part, pretty fun. It was perhaps one of Del Toro's weaker efforts, but that was done on purpose for mass appeal. He, unfortunately, has little to do with Uprising (it's directed by...some guy), and IT SHOWS. The Independence Day angle may be tragically on point here, as Uprising also bears much in common with ID4: Resurgence. Both are terrible, bloated sequels to thematically similar movies, both have new characters no one cares about, both were supposed to make a cinematic universe and effectively doomed that same effort, and both bombed miserably and were already been forgotten by pop-culture a month after release. Ouch.

Uprising is long, has yawn-inducing action scenes, terrible dialogue, a contrived plot that makes ZERO sense, and commits that most hated crime of horror movie sequels - returning beloved characters from the original only to kill them or turn them into forgettable villains. Oh, it panders to China the same way Trump panders to Putin's Russia. It's fucking embarrassing. In short, Pacific Rim: Uprising is one of the worst sequels ever made and an early contender for worst mainstream film of 2018. The cast is a joke and can't act their way out of a paper bag, with the exception of John Boyega. He does exactly what Michael Caine did in Jaws 4 - crack jokes both on set and on camera at the expense of the movie and cash that paycheck. And to be fair - he looks like he's enjoying himself more here than during his soul crushing slog in The Last Jedi. Don't see this. Don't rent it. Don't Netflix it. Send it back to the hellhole it came back from. Cancel the Apocalypse.
Rather poor sequel for a good action movie.

First 2/3 of the movie are pretty much empty. There is no story, no development, nothing worth mentioning. Just pile of assorted, mostly pointless and irrelevant, sequences. Most memorable part of over half the movie is a lot of push in terms of PC garbage. All the basics got covered, from feminism to inclusiveness. Unfortunately at the cost of anything resembling good writing/directing.

Last third of the movie was only thing that even remotely keeps this movie afloat. Despite many completely out of place juvenile cheesy puns, amount of action was good in the end. Numerous absurd scenes, like Jaeger crew not suffocating on high altitudes without any breathing equipment, or not being cooked alive when Gypsy rapidly descends afterwards, as by that time driver area lacks any shielding and is full of holes that several humans could pass thru freely. Those are not really helping.
Long story short, only last third of the movie is worth being called even remotely good. There was only one plot twist that was surprising, rest was lazy and predictable. Rest of the movie is lingering between "meh" and "total garbage". If whole movie was non-stop action, it could be good in its own way. If movie had good balance between story and action, it could be a good movie. This was not a good movie. No plot, no story, no pacing, no logic, no point. Its a franchise killer.

Within 2013, human being metropolitan areas arrive below assault through the Kaijus: heavy extradimensional critters that increase through a good interdimensional site on a lawn from the Off-shore Marine. In order to fight all of them, the actual countries from the Off-shore Side construct the actual Jaegers: similarly heavy humanoid battle devices, every manned through 2 pilots as their heads tend to be connected to reveal the actual mind-boggling psychological fill associated with piloting the actual advanced devices. Although the Jaegers will provide immunity, the actual Kaiju episodes develop much more regular as well as effective. Through 2025, the actual Off-shore Side government authorities possess ceased the actual Jaeger task as well as vacation resort in order to creating substantial resort wall space to safeguard man in the Kaijus. The actual 4 leftover Jaegers tend to be redeployed in order to Hong Kong to shield the actual unfortified seacoast till the walls is actually finished. Stacker Pentecost (Elba), commander from the Jaeger causes, devices an agenda to finish the actual battle using a nuclear tool in order to ruin the actual site.
