Pacific Rim First Impression
12 years ago
General
I think the bar for epic, massive action scenes has just been raised. The action is the focus of Pacific Rim.
It doesn't try to be the best story or try the to the best movie ever, cause it knows what it is. Giant
robots called Jaegers versus giant monsters called Kaiju. How often have we actually seen films like that? Not very much, not
in western countries anyway. The action is very satisfying, every hit looks like it hurts, since these are
giant beings fighting the force of each punch and impact is emphasized. It's just so much fun to see them
go at each other. Don't be surprised if you see people pretending to stomp around and slowly punch imaginary monsters.
The world of Pacific Rim in my opinion is well designed, it is very colourful and designs for the jaegers and kaijus are
spectacular. All the technology seems very well thought-out. Granted it is set in the future after attacks have already
happened.
The performances are not amazing however I did enjoy Idris Elba's character. It just felt right to me.
So that was my quick impression.(If its hard to understand that's because i'm just doing it with planning) If you like anime,
cartoons, action movies in general i definitely recommended the movie.I will say that it is best watched at the cinema for
the audio because you'll be wanting the full impact of the fights. You can probably tell I was happy with it, so were the two guys behind me. :P
