Prepare your jaw muscles, because you'll be smiling throughout. It knows what is missing from the norm and just goes crazy with it. Pacific Rim is triumphant above the rest of the blockbuster herd. Ron Perlman comes and goes and works his usual incredible moments. Idris Elba steals the spotlight with a look and a bellowed delivery and its amusing to watch and Rinko Kikuchi has such an incredible skill with her mannerism and in her eyes, that's its a shock that she isn't in more films. As a war between humankind and monstrous sea creatures wages on, a former pilot and a trainee are pair. He's certainly more than commendable, but he just doesn't break out here. Watch TenMinutes of Guillermo del Toro's PacificRim.
Mainly its in the lesser background characters, but for me I'd say that Charlie Hunnam doesn't quite shine in the lead. There's just so much to love, that not even some minor pacing problems or a couple of sub-par performances can destroy the experience. Its Guillermo Del Toro's trademarks turned up to 11, all while going nuts and having fun with his toys. It all blends well with the loopiness of it all. Del Toro has crafted an insane amalgamation of Sci-Fi, old-school thrills, special effects and brilliantly entertaining set pieces that all meld together in beautiful harmony, with just enough satisfying human moments and arcs that carry a nice balance of emotion and camp. Well I'm here to tell you that you're way off and also working comparisons in the wrong league. General audiences are doing the worst thing by comparing this to Transformers or Battleship simply because of some simple image traits. So we build giant machines called Jaegers. Kaiju (monsters) from another dimension break through to ours and wage war on the planet and us humans must do what we can to stop them. He's been given the toys for his sandpit and has gone completely bonkers, but he has also created a sense of wonder from completely nothing. Pilot-operated robots held the enemy off, but now mankind is near defeat and two unlikely candidates team up for one last stand.
Pacific Rim is Guillermo Del Toro at his most unleashed. Humanity has long been under attack from the Kaiju.
We could sit down and really make something out of nothing physical, or tip our toy-box all over the floor and just go mad. It seems to hide away as we get older, but was always strong and persistent when we were children.
