An unexpected surprise. Suspend disbelief for 2 hours and become a 10 year old boy with a toy robot in his hand again. Big, brash and fun, with just enough plot and background to satisfy, good pacing and a nice mix of characters. Special effects are beyond reproach and the sets are massive and detailed. Tons of fun. Don't think too hard, don't look for plot holes, grab some popcorn and watch monsters get the crap kicked out of them by giant robots. No really offensive language or love scenes to make parents feel awkward either. This film should be seen on a big screen. What a romp!
As a pure action flick, I would have given it the full 5 stars. As a regular movie, however, the acting is simple and appropriate, but the plot and characters are somewhat formulaic, so it offers few surprises. So I am only giving it a 4 star rating.
This was the best action move I have seen. Makes transformers look like tele toon. This movie is a must for those that like robot vs monster action. I can't wait for pacific rim 2
Meilleur film de l'anne.
Pacific rim around the toilet going down the pipes with my money ( i don't know how people rate this a 4 star ) boring and specially a disappointment waiting a whole year to see this, a real shame too because with a real good idea coming like it was from a Japanese cartoon and also good visuals, but failing to deliver in many places as it should of been better specially coming from Warner bros, thanks bro for nothing as i should of rented this flick instead, blahhh :P
amazing visual and special effect, i was in awe of how we could make movie like this.
What a lousy movie, the acting sucked and dumb story line
It was great !! action pack, I think one of the best movies in the genre...
The only good thing about this movie is the action, so if you are going to see if you may as well pay extra for 3D
An extraordinary film that was not so pretentious to play a monster vs robot theme too seriously. The humor made all the impossible stuff digestible. No other director could have pulled off this plot theme so wonderfully. Not to mention, a spectacular thrill ride. Thank you Del Toro!
