Saw Pacific Rim...Loved it...Total Paisa Wasool movie :thumbsup: ...Not a single dull or boring moment...Story is OK but action scenes are jaw dropping...Watch it in 3D..Looks amazing....

 

 

 

 

Pacific Rim - Incredibly fun movie, and definitely lightyears ahead of the transformers movies. GDT has constructed a beautiful world which pays homages to many classics. Story is cliched, nothing to write home about really, but this needs to be watched in the loudest theater you can find for its fights and effects which is what carries this movie, its mindblowing stuff. Overall 8/10 from me.

Just back for Pacific Rim.

 

One word review: WHOA !!

 

The movie is incredible. The fight scenes are well choreographed and have the perfect feel of an epic scale. The sound track is adrenaline pumping without being too in your face, unlike the indiscriminate use of heavy metal that most action movies use nowdays. It is a bit weak on the plot but we dont have michael bay levels of holes. the story is enough to sustain the viewers' interest and give nice explanation for the reason we see the characters going from point A to B. The fact that the movie doesnt take the heavy metaphorical/philosophical route and keeps it simple without turning into a joke is my most loved part. Almost every time we see directors ham fist some deep meaning running down the plot like racial tension, need for brother hood, human greed or environment damage in an action movie and end up having a myriad of themes resulting in a convoluted mess. Not here. There is a brief mention about global warming and that is it. The main point is that big a*s monsters are coming for what ever reason and we have to defend ourselves, and this is displayed in most excellent fashion.

 

 

Action scenes are obviously the hi-light of the movie and it does not disappoint here. One has to see it to believe them. Fights dont not seem comical and look every bit of bone shattering ruthless awesome as a punch delivered by a 350 ft robot to a 400 ft reptile would do.

 

 

The characters did their job. Charlie day was the typical annoying but well meaning nerd while Idris Elba is a total badass motherf**ker. I mean that is the kind of general you'd want to lead an armed resistance. The main character (if you can call him that, imo there was no one single protagonist) ironically was quite forgettable but not in a bad way. Rinku Kikuchi was so so :wub: :wub: so lovely !! Mad props to the director for not sexualizing her. Not a single kiss scene in the movie, nor is there any skin show. Mild flirting is there near the end but nothing cringeworthy. Mad props to G. Del Toro for using Mako Mori as a character and not as woman character.

 

 

All in all, Go watch it.

Back from Pacific Rim, kinda disappointed. Perhaps I was spoiled by Avengers and Man of Steel, but my complaint with it is 'not enough action'.

 

 

Only the Hong Kong fight scene was properly jaw dropping awesome, but I was expecting more afterwards, especially from an end fight which didn't deliver.

 

 

Idris Elba was perfect in his role, but Ron Perlman and some other supporting characters were just irritating.

Top omfg moments in Pacific Rim-

 

 

 

-Crimson Typhoon twists its hips and gives an overhead back slam to the kaiju.

 

-Gypsey slices the kaiju underwater in half using the sword.

 

-Gypsey dragging the cargo ship in hong kong streets like a base ball bat.

 

-The under water nuke detonation scene when Striker Eureka self sacrifices itself, the part where water is just forced away by the nuke shock waves creating a water less vaccum on the freaking pacific sea floor and then moments later all the displaced water comes rushing back. Did i mention it was on the sea bed, like inside the ocean. Damn that was one epic visual.

 

 

 

 

 

The (only) disappointing part of the movie-

 

 

 

The way Cherno Alpha was destroyed and the amount of screen time it got. Man that was sad :( The Russian bot was introduced as the most powerful in terms of raw strength and i was hoping to see it in more scenes (i admit, i have a crush on Russia :D ). Agreed it was a us movie and so russia would never be the top dog but still i'd have liked to see Cherno Alpha being all badass and then heroically sacrificing itself near the end by taking on 2-3 kaijus all alone allowing the yoo ess aey and australia to save the day.

Haven't seen the movie, but how can Ron Perlman be irritaating? :unsure: Not enough screen time?

 

It's just his character. Nothing against the actor.

 

Yeah those moments were good Nemo. I was just expecting more.
