Review of Pacific Rim: Uprising (2018) by Gipsydanger93 — 19 Apr 2018

Awesome Movie. Why 8/10 then you ask? Good Question. This movie was a fantastic watch. Who doesn't love robots fighting kaijus or robots fighting each other? This is the future MMA Ladies and Gentlemen deal with it. That said if you wanna read about some of my rants then read below. Else stop here.

Now, When compared with the first one which I rate it as a solid 10, this movie lacked a lot of original content. It borrowed a lot of action cues from the first one and tried to recreate it but didn't turn out as good. Also, a lot of original characters from the first movie completely vanished for no reason at all. If they were too pricey to cast. Then I can let that slide. My biggest critic is that the action sequences didn't have the weight like the first one did. The movements seemed much fluid than the first one. For robots and monsters that big it just seems a bit off. The last one is that the action sequences were all placed during the day. All the Jaeger's build and movements seemed plasticky. Seemed like it was a TOY battle. Hope they continue. Looking forward to the next movie.
