Review of Pacific Rim (2013) by Mark F — 04 Jul 2015
Solidly entertaining creature feature. Knowing Del Toro was involved, I was hoping it would be more than your average summer blockbuster; it was...slightly. What I saw was a generic story, with mostly generic (but charismatic) characters fighting brilliantly constructed monsters.
What I also saw was a movie filled with great passion and energy that very filmmakers could truly bring to a summer movie of this magnitude. I would like to see a sequel, but I would also like a better story/screenplay as well.
I could definitely re-watch this film, because it is fun in the end, but it doesn't offer me as much as I'd hoped. All this makes me do, is really pray for me to be really pleased with Gareth Edwards's "Godzilla" (2014).
