Review of Pacific Rim: Uprising (2018) by Midairman — 28 May 2019

I know my review is late to the party, but this movie wasn't worth seeing in theaters. It does nothing the first movie didn't. Plus it shows the people in this fictional universe have learned nothing. After the first movie after nearly all their Jaegars were destroyed they decide that these things are suitable to solve their problem should it arise again. There is no logic or intelligence in this. Especially considering they mention in the first movie that the ones they have been seeing are small low level ones. Fast forward to the second and again the world is in danger because or lazy writing.

Given all the knowledge on our weapons the director decides swords are the most viable means to defeat these creatures. Not massive guns shooting hypersonic rounds, but swords, whips, and a mace. All of which prove ineffective by the end of the movie. The projectile weapons they do have are largely ineffective.

The only time a Jaegar is effective is when its used like a missle. How about they just use actual missles?!?! Oh that would make way too much sense. Terrible movie.
