Pacific RimLists: Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi, Monster movieBrief Synopsis: "When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes—a washed-up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)—who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind's last hope against the mounting apocalypse." Overall Ranking: 1315 (Rank from 2013: # 66)

| Drezzy | 75 | - A kaiju movie more in the sense of the awesome late 90's/early 00's Godzilla flicks than the old-school (and more of a mixed bag) ones. This had everything that made a kaiju movie fun: bad ass monster fight scenes with increasingly larger monsters, a plot and pacing that fits a mini-series better than a movie, ham-it-up acting, cliche developments, comic relief that figures into the central plot, and did I mention BAD ASS MONSTER FIGHT SCENES? This is what the American Godzilla should have been. This is what I hope the next American remake of Godzilla is more like than just another "oh no, big monster attacking major US city" with less fun and a more "serious" tone. |
