Audio Review
The film is set in the 2020s, when Earth is under attack by Kaijus, colossal monsters which have emerged from a portal on the ocean floor of the Pacific. To combat the monsters, humanity unites to create the Jaegers: gigantic humanoid mecha, each controlled by two pilots whose minds are joined by a neural bridge. Focusing on the war’s later days, the story follows Raleigh Becket, a washed-up Jaeger pilot called out of retirement and teamed with rookie pilot Mako Mori in a last-ditch effort to defeat the Kaijus.
Pacific Rim is co-written and directed by Guillermo del Toro and stars Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Day, Robert Kazinsky, Max Martini, and Ron Perlman.
Grade: B+
i did not like this movie and all the hype over it was more than it should have been. it was like watching Godzilla meets the Transformers. it was so loud and noisy that i couldn’t even go to sleep on it. i have no plans to ever watch it again.
