rose : On holdThis review is best read in FA setting dark, to help reduce the risk of spoilers (you'll get it when you get there)
So, we unfortunately didnt get to watch pacific rim on dray's birthday, due to us missing the playtime that was best for us (or rather me. Not sleeping after a midnight shift and then staying up till 7:30 pm to watch a movie, and make a REAL review of it would be impossible for myself). So instead we went to laser quest, one of the best laser tag places I've EVER been in my childhood. It was a blast, sort of a treat for me and dray, even though it was for dray's birthday, hehe.
But do not despair, I did watch pacific rim eventually on my time off of work.
The cinematic were/are good. The creature designs are definately interesting, I myself enjoyed them, considering my fanaticism with things not natural.
So, for those who dont know what the movie is about. There's this portal, or as the movie calls it "rift" somewhere in the pacific ocean, where monsters from somewhere else comes through. Not on a daily basis, but in the beginning, it was few and far between. Humans were like "well shit, we gotta defend ourselves". So they made giant robots called yiegers (sorry for any misspelling). Now, im not going to go into detail about alot of things, but in short, with every alien movie, the bad guys want earth for its resources, and wanna kill us off.
The acting was good, and so was the cg. But there was still alot of questions on HOW things came to be. Ie: how were those massive robots repaired in under 14 hours?
Character development was there, but there wasnt much to it outside of "I had a traumatic experience", and that was about it. Of course characters grew more into the movie, but in history wise, you didnt get much depth. Ie: this guy is military, something bad happened, the end. And in the development side of things, it was kinda, eh. But I guess it swings with the military side of things, keeping relations professional and all, which is good, but it kind of shot down the whole feeling for the character (I like seeing characters die, but only so I can see reactions to the other characters, andin this movie, I knew id be left unhappy with any experience like that).
Now, here is going to be ONE SPOILER. So if you dont want it, turn away now, or skip the next paragraph, and go to where it says no more spoiler (pretty obvious)
Highlight to read
They gone? Ok, anybody who reads this, it's not plotline spoiler, but more combat spoiler. So, the robots, Yiegers, usually go at a 1:1 ratio. Ie: yieger kills alien, yieger gets destroyed, so it's kind of an even trade.....sorta. So anyways, with that ratio in mind. They have this sword, similar to Ivy's, from Soul Caliber 2. And they dont take it out till near the end of the movie, at which point, their practically 1 shotting keiju's with it. Why the fuck not use it in the BEGINNING of the movie?! Plothole question right there. That's the end of the spoiler, just the mention of the sword.
NO MORE SPOILER!!
It was an entertaining movie. One of those movies you can't give to much thought into, in terms of storyline. But it's definately worth a watch. They use the fighting sparingly, which I like. So the movie actually has some plot to it, and isn't just 2 hours of cinematics of things trying to kill each other. BUT, it did have one big selling point for me. I kinda fanboi'd for this. They have the actor for Hellboy in it, the same guy that was also in -shudders- Alien Ressurection. That was definately a high point for the movie, or maybe just myself.
A definately watch, and if you have a Godzilla collection, id say this is definately worth getting put in there. May not be Godzilla, but as a kaiju movie, it had its high points, despite the problems.
Hope this review helped you decide in your choice for this movie folks. Hopefully we can get The Basement going again, so I can do these reviews more often, but for that to happen, you guys gotta give dray a kick in the pants for me, cuz me doing it ain't doing nothing, lol.
As always, have a great time, and I've decided, id like to have people recommend movies to me to watch, and review, itd give me something more then just doing only new movies~
Have a wonderful night/morning. Time for me to do the night audit at work now, lol
