  • A decade has passed since the release of pacific rim, and yet we still haven't seen a sequel come out despite it's immediately popularity and positive reception. However, i'm actually quite glad, because there are so many things and details that make the first movie shine which are hard to do for the second one.
    Even ten years later it's still one of the best movies to watch when you're bored in 2023. Its a monster movie, science fiction movie, futuristic movie, robot movie, action movie, world ending movie, etc. combined together. I'm sure a terrible sequel to pacific rim would cause an uprising from it's loyal fans. Yes this video is all about the positive things in pacific rim. Have a nice day :)

      Jks aside there was some good ideas in uprising, it's just that they executed them wrong or just fucked them up entirely. For example November Ajax was good, had good movement and felt heavy like the first movie, obsidian fury was a really good concept and trying to get some Yeager Vs Yeager action with it , The drones being corrupted was a good idea too. I also think the same one was a good idea too (I think the name of it is scraplet) if only it wasn't made from a little girl from scraps. They had good ideas they just fucked it up (as I said before)

    I think that the Jaegers started dying because the precursors started finding the weakness to each and every Jaeger. That’s why leatherback and otochi beat the other jaegers and not gipsy. And when gipsy entered the anti verse we see them starting to send in knife heads because that’s the Kaiju that destroyed gipsy originally.

    Pacific Rim seems to be a film that gets better with age. It was met with mostly positively reception back in the day, but I remember a certain air of "but it could have been way better" surrounding it. The fanbase and receptions has only grown stronger since it came out.
    And it becomes absolutely revelatory once you become a massive kaiju and tokusatsu fan.
    I was hyped for it back in 2013. I had just started getting Godzilla films and this came right at the crest of my initial love for the big G. But I remember feeling just a bit disappointed in the film at the time for reasons I honestly don't remember.
    I think, then, I found it too tropey or too corny in the character department. The MCU was hot off the heels of The Avengers. They were the new Top Dog and their brand of character making in blockbuster movies was now the default. So the characters in PR, at the time, felt out dated and old hat.
    Now they're actually refreshing. I do think Charlie Hunnam is a little miscast here, but not drastically so. He just feels a bit out of step from the rest of the cast. But what makes it work overall is that Raleigh is a very earnest, very sincere character. He's not a snarky quip machine or an anti-hero with an attitude and chip on his shoulder. His tragedy informs his character but doesn't DEFINE his character.
    He's positive, supportive, level-headed, and good-hearted. That's what struck me most upon my most rewatch watch - Raleigh is just a good boy, lol.
    With time as and I explored the kaiju and tokusatu genres more deeply, Pacific Rim got better and better. And even separating it from that influence, it's a better film on its own terms than I think people give it credit for.
    It juggles a lot characters and relationships very well in a tight 2hrs. It manages to convey all kinds of great themes without ever once losing its sense of pace of narrative flow or delving into navel gazing. The theme of human connection - of the duo, the power couple - is all over this film. Friends, brothers, strangers who share a deep connection being a perfect match, a perfect team.
    While the Kaiju are technically organic creatures, they have no soul. They are cold, singular monsters with no purpose outside of conquest. The Jaeger should be these mechanical monstrosities but they exude personality and humanity because that is what, literally, drives them.
    Despite the action centering around the humans using giant robots to beat the shit of off giant monsters, the key to human victory is all about the mind - how to understand it, to push it to its limits, to trust in others.
    And come on, this movie probably has the best kaiju action ever put to film.

    No other film has ever come close to the sense of scale that Pacific Rim has. Even some of the more recent Godzilla movies, as good as they are, don’t quite achieve the same effect. I think what makes PR work so well is they really nailed the MASS of the creatures/jaegers and how that affects their inertia. Massive objects take a lot of energy and power to get moving and just as much to stop, and they got it so right.

    We need a "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters" style prequel series chronicling the whole prologue of the first film. Trespasser's attack could be a whole episode, the other pre-Jaeger kaiju attacks could be another, and the process of beginning the Jaeger Program's neural load problems, the first Jaeger Brawler Yukon's victory against Karloff, the story of the Kaidonovskys and Cherno Alpha at the peak of their career, and Raleigh and Yancy's first victory against a kaiju could all be one episode each.

    Dude just the moment when Gipsy adjusts its grip on the boat is so real. Everything is so heavy and unwieldy. I loved the mark 3s we got to see. Honestly the best class of Jaeger overall. Would’ve loved a prequel instead of the spinoff movie or Netflix anime. Neither one did the world justice. This is the film that got me into Kaiju and giant robots, which in turn got me into Project Nemesis, a series of novels by Jeremy Robinson, which are freaking amazing. When real creative types go for these giant and bombastic stories, they really hit. It’s all the soulless Hollywood executives that make people think that giant monsters vs robots is so shallow and stupid. I genuinely wrote two different essays in college, one about Pacific Rim and one about Project Nemesis, diving into how much symbolism and intelligent commentary there was in what seems like such surface level storytelling.

Stuff like pacific rim, which is all fun and fighting, exactly what you want out of a monster movie, and stuff like Godzilla 2014 which is more horror-adjacent and keeps G-money himself out of the shot often to make the scene when he finally appears all that much more climactic and powerful. I do think we need more of the former however.

    I first saw the trailer for this movie when my parents and I went to watch the Impossible, the movie starring Tom Holland about the Boxing Day tsunami. In the US, the Impossible was released at the end of 2012, but in my country Malaysia, it was released in February 2013. Anyway, the cinema was playing ads and movie trailers for upcoming movies before the actual movie started. My father and I walked in right in the middle of the Pacific Rim trailer. When I saw Gypsy's rocket-boosted punch, I was jumping up and down inside. I had always wondered why sci-fi/robot movies had never implemented rocket-boosted punches and kicks, and I was proud to believe that I was the first person in the world to ever dream about it. So seeing an idea that I believed I was the first person to ever come up with used on the big screen was a rocket booster to my nine-year old pride. My father and I went home that night, watched the trailer in full, and bookmarked Pacific Rim.
