Pacific Rim Quickie Review

When Optimus and Godzilla have a baby


Story: 
Mankind makes Giant Machines to fight Giant Monsters in this apocalyptic epic made by the dude who brought us Pans Labyrinth and Hellboy. 

Cast: 
Actors were great, not Oscar amazing but great. Some seemed to be a little over the top with their acting but never bugged much. Ron Perlman's little role was good too. 

Effects:
 Considering that some stuff was actually made on set and not computer generated, and also the fact that I could never tell the difference between the two, this film has set the next level of Monster Movie effects to the highest possible setting for this generation! This is probably where the film shines best. 

Entertainment Value:
 Some parts are slow and the film isn't a constant action sequence, but the parts that are action sequences are by far some of the best things this summer! This movie will keep us entertained until Godzilla comes out next year! 

Final Rating: 
9.0/10

  1. Good review Tom. Had a fun time with this one, even if I was a bit disappointed by how lame the characters were.
