- Pacific Rim has a C- critic score, which is actually not terrible based on the premise. But I believe it actually steps beyond the borders of its genre....Nah. But it's still awesome and better than a C-. So this is why the critics are wrong. Here's everything right with Pacific Rim.

Pacific rim: when an anime concept was put into a live action movie and it DIDN’T suck
Had no idea this was based on an Anime. I just saw it as a really good Monster movie.
@@OneEyedGhoulX777 If you watch Neon Genesis Evangelion you will get all the references. The drifting, alien invaders, and many more. Why NGE? Because the anime is the closest references to Pacific Rim and the most well-done Mecha Anime.
@@OneEyedGhoulX777 it's not based on a specific anime though, just anime in general. Monster shows, real robot mecha shows, shounen battle series, etc.
@@SonofSethoitae i mean where else can we see giant massive gigantic robot fighting Humongous monsters?
Edge of tomorrow is good too
The most important unspoken rule of the Pacific Rim fandom. We don’t talk about the sequel because it never happened.
Hey sshhh
Edit: noice
Hey I like uprising the story and characters were shot but the jaegers and fight scene was the only good thing about it
There was a sequel?
Black Fire There is no Pacific rim sequel. It never happened.
@@dementedcreations8971 ok
"if she comes back for the sequel"
hey, hey. look at me. LOOK AT ME. there is no sequel. none. nada. just Pacific Rim. nothing more.
What sequel? It doesn’t exist. Do not question me. IT NEVER HAPPENED!
It does not exists, we do no see it. Just like the new Star Wars sequels.
why does everyone hate the sequel?!!?
it ain't that bad, there are *WAY* worse movies!
@@ChaosSamurai are you ok in the head?
@@ChaosSamurai well, the sequel exist and suck, but saying that it doesn't exist is stupid
(I know is a joke, but the producer tried to make a sequel to a wonderful film, failing)
"1, don't touch me, 2, don't touch me"
Captain Stacker got his social discancing prioritized
this line was apparently improvised lol
@@MischievousMischief lol
1, don’t touch me, 2, don’t touch me, 3, break number 1 and 2 and I break your bones
Wasnt he a marshall? But he defenitly got it right!
Marshall
Missed a win, there: scientists being taken seriously as scientists, despite clear social awkwardness, and not having to prove themselves to regular joes, who have no idea what they're talking about, but rather to _other_ scientists.
I'm more mad he didn't win the stepping over the bridge since it showcases that the jeagers are trying to save people not just killing kaijus. They avoid excess destruction where ever they can.
@@singularleaf3895 1:56
ah a man of culture
yes, give me more movies with experts being experts and respected
No win for the first gypsy deployment sequence where the head drops into place. :(
So the most Japanese anime live action movie is made by an American Studio and directed by a Mexican? Seems legit.
He's right tho...
Pacific Rim is miles ahead of any actual Japanese Live action Anime, those are terrible.
+Ingram 2 agree... Attack on titan was shit!
Deathnote was decent
Rurou ni Kenshin?
is realy fucking good ! i saw the first and the 2nd da mn need to watch them a 2nd time !
One thing that was major attention to detail.
In the final battle, all the holes and open hatches of the Jaegers are sealed before they go underwater. Striker doesn't use its chest mounted missile launcher, and Gipsy doesn't use its plasma cannon. Why? Because those would be opening ports of the Jaegers, allowing flooding.
Gypsy couldn't use her plasma cannon due to the underwater pressure
Striker couldn't use his missile launcher because slattern damaged it
Also because of the flooding issues. The Jaegers have machinery inside that can be damaged, especially by large amounts of sea water flooding in, and sea life. Striker Eureka using its missiles underwater is just asking for major damage.
well plasma underwater is not really great since it would cause a steam explosion and only damaging gipsy's arm and striker can't really use the missle launcher since it would flood the entire chest area causing lots of dmg and there really deep in the water so even if he opens it and their's no dmg the missiles could be crushed by the water pressure hitting it.
@@axlthien4993 both reasons, the pressure between underwater and inside a jeager is very different. And the missile didnt seem to be designed to operate underwater, as it wasnt a torpedo.
@Nunya Business well gipsy avenger was a more advanced Jaeger, The Jaeger probably had rockets that was similar to torpedoes
What makes the kaiju and Jaegers look so “real” in this movie, is the AMAZING way they display weight. These huge monsters *feel* huge, which makes them so believable for me! Especially the scene when Gipsy came crashing down in the beginning.
Exactly the second one had not timing or planning cuz ten years doesn’t justify the agility or weightless jaegers
There's a second part to it, that they were designed to still LOOK like humans in costumes. And they succeeded.
And the Jaegers were slow as faaaaaak. But in the second movie they were a lot faster.
I have a question is this part of the godzilla series or Is kaiju a term for monsters
@@RacoonVG Kaiju is you we call the monsters in Japanese movies. So these monsters are inspired by the ones from Japanese movies. Hence, we call them kaiju. Godzilla and king Kong was originally Japanese movie monsters, so we call them kaiju as well. I'm not sure if I am right, but this is what I've been told.
"There are things you can't fight - acts of God. You see a hurricane coming, you have to get out of the way. But when you're in a Jaeger, suddenly you can fight the hurricane. You can win."
BRB gonna fight a damn hurricane
I never understood that line. It just doesnt make any sense :D how are you supposed to fight a hurricane? Punch it?
@@Leo-qe1uu Um, Fighting doesn't always mean you need to Punch something,
It's the same as how people Fight Cancer,
It's about your ability to stay strong in that situation,
@@Leo-qe1uu yes.
You eat the hurricane. Or you do some of the classic hand to hand crap. Punch and kick it out of existence.
@@Leo-qe1uu It's an allergory for a seemingly unstoppable thing. Although I wonder what would happen if something big enough punched a tornado. Could you punch out a storm cloud, dispersing it?
My favorite line in cinematic history is in this movie.
"Haven't you heard, Mr. Beckett? The world is coming to an end. Where would you rather die? Here, or in a Jaeger?" - The Legendary Stacker Pentecost.
"We can either stay here, or grab these flares and do something really stupid!"
One of the best lines I have ever heard.
The question is, is he any good at stacking cups?
@rhona noona EPIC, My favourite line in the movie, it lives in my mind especially when i think of this movie! lol
@@g.williams2047 and they threw it directly to the kaiju's eye, nice.
Fucking epic!!
“This movie made Transformers look like Teletubbies.”
-ico
I know but at least transformers is more real than pacific rim uprisin- I MEAN THE DISGRACE ;-;
@@acethebeast9971 whats that?
@@acethebeast9971 you.
Never again add "Pacific Rim" in front of that word you call "Uprising."
Bay's movies, right?
*Right?*
The best thing about this movie:
That soundtrack. GOD THAT MAIN THEME IS SO GOOD
Have you heard the ….. dvd menu theme?!?
dude I vibe to it everyday
Loved it. It sticks in your brain.
Makos theme is amazing
No cap it's so good
the girl who plays young mako had trouble pronouncing del toro's name during filming, so he let her nickname him totoro-san.
just thought people would like to know.
Of course itd be a stereotypical ass name like 'Totoro-San'
@@michaelhaynes4946 old but gold.
Michael Haynes well I mean, English probably ain’t her first language, she’s probably Japanese and they refer to a lot of people with “San” at the end of their name.
@@vain3743 Its like Mr., it's an honorific. Honorifics are a big part of the language and culture, given how important respect is to them, as a people.
no such thing as like or know or great or not, dstmatr
Why dont we just take a moment and appreciate the cgi, its from 2013 and still looks way better than the cgi now
The movie itself is a win
It's really due to lighting and inertia, the jaegers and kaiju have visible mass and the cinematography gives the feel of impact. They're also almost always portrayed in shadow, rain, or fog, which makes them look more realistic
Facts
@@cabnbeeschurgr6440 Just like what Jurassic Park did to T-Rex when it breached through the fence during the rain.
@@kaungsetmoe4876 true, except that was mostly practical
I met the male actor who piloted Cherno Alpha, back in 2015. He was at a an expo in New Jersey at a big hotel. I shook his enormous hand and asked him what it was like working on the set of Pacific Rim and he said
“it was incredible”.
Wow such a pleasure bro to be honest
I love the attention to detail. In the Hong Kong battle, Gipsy succeeded where the others failed because 1. it ran on nuclear power. 2. It was fast enough to dodge the acid 3. The head wasn't as exposed as CTs. And when Newt drifted with the Kaiju brain, it figured out about Cherno, Striker and Typhoon, but not Gipsy, which is why it managed to come in and save the day (the Precursors didn't throw out a Kaiju that specialized in dealing with it). Now THAT is detail
I found Gipsy dodging the acid a little out of place. The rest of the movie the Jaegers are these massive machines that rightly take time in their movements. But in that instant she displays an uncanny quickness that's not seen again. They just needed to pull it off in a different way to keep the cohesion of the movie.
@@crownjules1 this movie is not as good as people say it is. There is alot of plot holes.
I like to think that even though they’re massive, after Mark 2 Jaegers; they were built for a little more agility, hence why cherno wasn’t able to dodge it while gipsey was, or it could be that in part of the movie, Cherno’s pilots stated they were hit with some type of acid, so Mako and Raleigh would go in knowing Otachi has some acid based ability
@@terrelldurocher3330 still better than whatever the sequel was. did it even exist?
I wanna think that the precursors thought that Gipsy was still dead after the event with Knifehead so they weren't prepared for something like that
Fun facts:
- If you'll notice in Raleigh and Chuck's fight scene, one of the things he uses against Chuck is an actual open-handed slap, followed by Raleigh dropping and using Chuck's weight against him. Now who used that exact same technique earlier in the film? That's right: Mako, during their "compatibility" montage. Chances are, Raleigh wasn't even thinking about it. He just went for it. They've only Drifted ONCE, and yet, he's already incorporating her movements into his fighting style.
- Chuck is so antagonistic towards his father because when the first kaiju ever hit Sydney, Herc had a choice between saving Chuck's mum, Angela, or Chuck. He only had a few minutes to do so, seeing as Jaegers didn't exist back then and the only way to end kaijus were to nuke them. So he ended up picking Chuck, never knowing whether it was the kaiju or the nuke that killed his wife, and Chuck still resents him for it.
- The Kaidonovskys hold a world record for longest neural handshake ever, clocking in at 18 hours. Theirs was a particularly interesting case, seeing as they were husband and wife, instead of being blood relatives. A true testament to how strong their bond is.
- Mako's family made swords for a living. Her adding the chainsaw swords to Gipsy Danger is most probably her way of honoring her family's trade.
- Raleigh was born in 1998; Mako and Chuck in 2003.
- The blue streaks in Mako's hair symbolize the coat she was wearing the day she lost her family and the color of kaiju blood in general. It's her way of reminding herself that she WILL get revenge for her family someday.
- The dominant pilots are usually on the right. (e.g. Herc, Sasha, Yancy, Stacker, etc.)
- The pose Gipsy Danger does before going into battle - punching the left palm with a closed right fist - is actually a way of showing respect in martial arts. It basically says that the person doing it does not intend to harm innocent beings, and will only do so if provoked.
- Among the last Jaegers, Cherno Alpha was the only one that didn't have escape pods.
- There were over 51 Jaegers and kaijus made for this film. Every week, the staff would vote on their favorite ones. Most of the Jaegers were from countries found around the Pacific Ring of Fire, such as Hong Kong, China, the Philippines, Japan, Korea, and more.
- The reason Newt and Hermann are Drift-compatible is because, just like Raleigh and Mako, they have sparred before ... only VERBALLY, and on a daily basis, too!
WOW😮
This is an underrated comment
What is your source? Amazing facts!
Finally actual fun facts and not just the same regurgigated facts everyone already knows.
Fun fact:
The suits were not edited onto the pilots.
There were legit suits
Which means you could go find them and make copies to sell on the internet?
SecretSkull
I guess?
Fun fact: they actually made the robots in real steel
Wait shit wrong movie
The cockpits were also actually constructed. The holograms were CGI, but everything else in the cockpit shots was real. Including the water blasted at the actors.
Thememelord3726 oof
One of my favorite quotes from this movie is “we are the only thing standing between that kiaju and a city of 10 million people. Now we can stand here and wait or grab the flares and do something really stupid.”
Japan has their very own Gundam as of this year, now all we need are Kaijus
There’s still a few months left in 2020. Here’s hoping
*softly*
*yes*
No thanks, i would like to survive
We do NOT need Kaiju(s)
Wait. What?!
Fun fact:
Cherno alpha is the biggest heaviest and strongest jager in both movies with one of the highest kill counts
Russians always have to one up everyone
Also the oldest of any yeagars
Cherno is awesome also it had the Russian red star on its head bucket. I would also like to point out that it’s design is based off of both a nuclear smoke stack and hazmat suit. I really hope we can eventually get some prequels to Pacific Rim so we can see more Cherno, Crimson, and all the other Jaegers (and Kaiju) we didn’t see before
the last surviving mark 1 jaeger, meant to tank fktons of damage they dont have escape pods instead they bulk the jaeger up.
Cherno is the last of the .ark1 Jaegers (that is the way to spell Jaeger)
Timer thanks for telling me
Funny how he never did a “Everything Great about Pacific Rim: Uprising”
Because there’s nothing good about it
What are you people talking about there is no sequel
Wtf are you talkin about? Sequel? Pfft...
That's because it doesn't exist
what sequel? Never heard of her
I just love it when a mech and pilot are created to be neurologically linked, allowing the pilot to feel touch and pain whenever a mech is doing something or is damage. This also incentivise the pilot to do their best to not get damaged in the first place too.
And the pilots are in their cockpits, they could lose an arm without even knowing what happened. We only see it because we are outside of the jaeger
When I heard Ellen McLain's unmistakable voice as the voice of the Jager computer it absolutely cemented this as a movie that I'd love.
As far as casting goes, I guess you could say... "This was a triumph."
Full success!
fun detail / fan theory kind of? The Kaiju that were appearing before the big hong kong fight were all sea creature based, which makes sense because the rift is in the ocean. BUT after drifting with Charlie Day the kaiju that were grown were not only equipped with anti jaeger weaponry but also were based on terrestrial animals! animals that they wouldn't have had knowledge of prior. neat!
leatherback more land based tho. even if the name implies it's a turtle
Iirc Leatherback was based on an Ape/Primate of some kind though I really love this idea 10/10 would love to see a movie/game do it right
this is SO COOL. man i need a minute
Robert Rupp the second movie had 0 background idea put into it
Horndrilll damm that kinda subtly sets up the plot of the second film (forget it’s name)
Me walking into the theater:
One ticket for giant robots fighting giant monsters with a shit ton of explosions please.
Me walking out of the theater:
*Seeks out the specific employee working the ticket counter earlier*
Thank you. That was exactly what I paid for.
butifull
See, when you market a movie as an epic robot fighting film instead of a masterpiece of film, you get my money. They marketed this movie as what it was, and I loved it.
what if they gave you tickets to the fanfic turned sequel?
@@RadDeadRedemption2
Both pac rim 2: too pacific too rim
And Independence day 2: the independencing were great bad movies.
Why are people so okay with this movie but so against transformers? I just don’t get it.
Love the Cherno Alpha scene. The fact that they kept in mind it's the oldest operational Jäeger and incorporated that into the design is just top tier attention to the details of their script
I’m surprised Romeo Blue and Coyote Tango weren’t allowed to survive…or even have Tacit Ronin & Horizon Brave join the ranks?
@@haydennorris8062because this is the end. Only 4 jaegers made it. Knifehead was the start of kaiju being fitted more for anti jaeger combat and generally stronger. We can assume cat 1-3 were more so just here to stomp on humans. Late cat 3-5 is when the precursors started to really design kaiju built for combat
I love that they kept good lighting on the jaegers and kaijus by using headlights and helicopter lights. Too often a great action scene with giant monsters are ruined by too much darkness.
"Because Gypsy Danger pulled the EMP body part off"
THANK YOU. WHY HAVEN'T I WATCHED THIS SOONER
Nimbus Windstrider lmao!xD
Gypsy is a fucking badass -3-
Even if the Kaiju used the EMP it wouldn't have been effective against Gypsy seeing as she's Nuclear.
@@thedankgunslinger8948 yeah. gypsy's nuclear powered and wont shutdown by emps
A Bag of Totino's Pepperoni Pizza Rolls Analogic !
"Mako is a great character that I hope we will see more of in the sequel"
Haha..... hahahah...... *HAHHAHAHH....*
*Cries*
Yeah... *Sobs* fuck you DeKnight...
this scene in uprising hit me right in the feels...
Yeah I felt cheated what happen. But I guess when you lose one of your main actors it's not easy to get it going
that wasn't DeKnight. also, most of the movie was the studios decision/cut, many of the things we had problems with, he did as well. he even says that he would bring Mako back if he had a say in the matter
She died :(
Fun fact: Mana Ashida, the young actress who played as Mako got along with Del Toro so well she actually referred to him as "Totoro-san"
I wouldn't be so sure about the "just guard the rift" thing. The Kaiju have _major_ advantages fighting in water - heck, they're clearly water-based animals first and foremost, struggling to support their weight out of water. The Jaegers lose most of their mobility and their weapons, while the Kaiju only get stronger. Just watch how the Kaiju move in water.
Cherno alpha kickin kaiju's butt
*soviet theme's intensifies*
If they had their way, they'd just bring a Jaegar sized AK to mow down the Kaijus
Why couldn’t they just take the guns off of Cyote Tango and put it on Cherno?
@@aliciaviacrusis9441 cherno alpha himself is an alpha, add the gun and he will be a giga
@@garlicbreadstick404 ur right
Whilst Ukraine was busy with Crimea, The Russians stole Reactor no.4 and stuck it onto Cherno.
Fun fact: The sequal is nothing like the first movie.
Disagree! It's different, but it's still people coming together to fight giant monsters to save the world.
Sierlea it’s nothing in tone, actions, story, and character.
@@Sierlea just dont!!!!!!
Pacific Rim is one of my favourite movies of all time, and I watch it a couple times a year.
I was terrified of pacific rim 2 and every detail i heard about it made me more nervous. The end result is a disappointing garbage flop of a movie from people who had NO IDEA what made the first movie such a masterpiece. It was more like a Bayformers movie than anything else.
What sequel? There was never a Pacific Rim sequel. It never happened. There was some crap Asylum knock-off z-movie with John Boyega that tried to wear the skinsuit...
Little Mako's scene was probably the highlight of the movie to me. That little actress made me feel every bit of the emotional turmoil and terror she was going through, without any words (great CGI too)!
Epic through and through!
Yeah would be really cool to see Mako come back for the sequel! Sadly we didn't get a sequel :(
Watches "everything great about pacific rim"
Goes back to youtube frontpage
Gets "everything wrong about pacific rim: uprising" recommended
RUclips knows
Pacific Rim: Uprising is one of those films where everyone...*everyone*...can get behind CinemaSins.
There will never be an "Everything great about Pacific Rim: Uprising" video, either.
The exact same thing happened except it showed up in the "related" thing
Holy crap, I refreshed mine after reading this and it was at the top
If you seriously think that Jeremy can be ever taken seriously... I advice you to stop watching films altogether.
No love for the Russian couple calmly walking away from Gipsy Danger's pointed-right-at-them charging plasma weapon like it's an everyday occurrence?
Heh heh, that's amazing.
I'm pretty sure it didn't lift up, the water was vaporized... literally. okay so it's probably a little of both (sudden expansion of water vapor would have been part of the major kinetic release)
IamDeadToast ikr
"godamnit not again"
"Why can't these noobs JUST. NOT. CHASE THE RABBIT!"
"Yee let's go"
it moved, even a nuke cant vaporize that much water that quickly, it just moved what looked like a mile of water.
A neat thing I noticed with this movie was the design of the kaijus themselves, they start off as animals you would expect to find deep underwater but the ones we see getting fought are faster and have special adaptations to help deal with the jaegers e.g. leatherback’s emp. But after the drift is preformed with the kaiju brain, the aliens find out about the plan to seal the breach so the send really powerful kaijus to try and take down the last of the jaegers before they can seal the breach
I believe this started with the Cat 3 kaiju like knifehead, which were designed to pierce the jaegers. I believe even the Mutavore was said to have defeated a jaeger before getting annihilated by striker. Cat 3-4 are when the precursors really start to design anti jaeger kaiju rather than kaiju focused on destroying cities
@@melt6894 yeah the first wave were like scouts the 2nd were the actual fighters and raiju skunner and slattern were the last resort
Something I really liked about this movie was that every fight and side story felt important. All the fights had high stakes, the side stories actually contributed to the main plot in an interesting way that didn’t feel unnecessary. And again, each fight pushed the story forward and developed the world, while still being enjoyable to watch and staying entertaining. Plus, each fight was unique
My favorite line definitely was "empty the clip EMPTY THE CLIP"
Nothing screams terror like just firing as fast as the gun will hold together for.
"There's no pretense, no shrouding in darkness. Here's a monster, here's it being killed in full daylight looking amazing."
Damn... That's exactly what I loved about this movie! (among several other things)
Totally agree, no weird angles in fights like in transformers movies. And the music just killing it!
@@DmytroBogdan As well as no overcomplicated flippy quadruple turning transformation(always hated that about the Transformers movies.Just felt like it was showing off, lol.)
One scene in the daylight lasting for 30s can beat the whole non-existent sequel, which was also filmed during the daylight instead of during the night and with the help of water in PR.
Striker Erukea: Superheated sting blades that do massive damage and chest rocket launcher
Gypsy Danger: Chainsword and plasma cannon/caster
Crimsion Typhoon: Claws and plasmacannon/caster
Cherno Alpha: PUNCH PUNCH
cherno actually has flamethrowers, they're the two circular things near its bucket, the fists are also electrically charged, called tesla fists
Ok, now why does that make me want a mod for C&C: Red Alert that adds jeagers as buildable units. A walking nuclear reactor with flamethrowers and electrically charged fists...that's exactly the type of thing the RA Soviet Union would build.
I just like to imagine those turbines on Cherno alpha aren't actually turbines but instead huge ass speakers that blasts some Russian music
*USSR Anthem at full volume.*
But it was actually a damaged flamethrower.
@@MaJuYo Sshhhhh, it's just a headcanon. *Don't be that guy*
great minds think alike, ey?
6:18 the transition from the traditional Chinese music style INTO the hardcore Russian style is absolutely flawless, which only makes that scene so much better because it showcases the artists creative understanding and though process.
I absolutely love the ending, it’s not a typical “romance” ending which indeed makes it more beautiful.
It's also not an everyone's dead ending. Just a good ending with the heroes still alive
To be fair the leads had great chemistry together
I have a lot of a favorite scenes in this movie but the one that stood out to me the most was when Raleigh brings Gypse Danger back to the coast by himself after defeating a Kaiju alone. I love the scene of Gypse Danger emerging out of the fog and lumbering onto the beach. You get a sence of how big these machines are.
the fist stopping right before hitting the office table was a show of just how powerful AND precise the Yager robots really are, they are not clumsy machines, these things cost BILLIONS to make and BILLIONS to maintain.
My biggest question is if, in the desperation caused by an apocalypse, if money mattered less than the development of the Jaegers.
In the second movie, they only mention Pentecost as the hero guy but Chuck also sacrificed himself. It irritates me
I just cant watch the scene where Chuck and his dad say goodbye before setting out without crying.
PR uprising is so bad i consider it non canon
This movie is like 100× times better than the second
@@veorangejuice733 it's like a china rip off
Malnutrition Boy But it was made in China..
Pacific Rim is great because it is EXACTLY what it was advertised to be: a fun romp with giant monsters Vs giant robots.
WATCH the trailers for this movie, then watch the movie. Do you feel cheated? NOPE!
exactly this
THEN watch the fan-trailer setting this movie to the Power Rangers music.
Jacob Wiren That's what I look for most in a movie. If it knows what it wants to be, and is good at being what it wanted, then it's a good movie.
No, watch the Honest Trailer, it sells it way better
Fucking right!!
I still think one of the most amusing product placements I've seen is in the "chest reactor button" scene, with a logo on-screen for only a few frames that implies the Jaeger's entire system allegedly runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon.
In the Hong Kong arc, I can actually name the street where the ship sword scene took place (by the footbridge at their feet); the exact stadium Gypsy Danger landed on; and the island where the base was located.
Tell us la cibai 😂
Can we just admit that him singing while Gypsey Danger joined was epic!
Agreed! I need a free reply button to listen to that everytime!

How did you forget the awesome soundtrack
Why the fudge can't I like this comment more than once? Clicking the button three hundred times only leave it on nine, not the three-hundred and nine I want it to be!
You that know main theme? (the one you get instantely when you youtube "pacific rim theme") is my go-to work out song now. has a bit of a run up and BAM! it all kicks it just when you're hitting your stride.
They should've mentioned the soundtrack.
He will be the successor of Hanz Zimmer in the genre of heroic movies as well as science fiction.
A great example of listening to the fans complain about how often I mention the score. All my soundtrack wins are on the cutting room floor, except for the one during Mako's memory. Never again, because while it's not my favorite, I still really liked it. And Ramin Djawadi deserves a win or two.
+CinemaWins ding! ding!
Of all monster films, this one is and still holds up as the best. The weight and strength of the mechs is amazing. And the kaijues are all damn terrifying and yet so well created with that incredible cgi and design. The story as well is more interesting than the sequel that I regret ever watching.
Not to forget, the fighting is just as good every time I look through them. It feels gritting and gets me at the edge of my seat always rooting for the good guys. Never have I ever been bored of it because it’s just too damn awesome of a movie. Not many monster movies are as good as Pacific Rim in my opinion.
8:09 also Mako remembered the sword, Raleigh had given up at this point but Mako was blood thirsty and shouted "For my family" and gets the sword out, I mean its a damn good build up for the sword and shows why the both are perfectly compatible because they always have each other's back👌
Nice to see a channel that actually focuses on the positives of film rather than the negative
See also Nostalgia Critic. Although he mostly bitch and moan about different problems in the end he always give sincire, objective opinion. He even once or two in the end of long, looong strip of insults said "do i think it's bad? Welll... no actually" and then started praising it for what it done to the culture or people. I can't say he focuses more on the positives... but it's at worst 50/50
I watch Doug's channel too.
A perfect combo^
Wait, these channels dont belong to each other?
Crazy House 42 win encounter one is my favourite
The line "Sensei aishitemasu" actually hurts even more when you know that "aishiteru" (The root form) Is never really used as a way of saying I love you. To many people the word is so strong that many married couples are even hesitant to use it, a friend of mine said they would only use it if it were the last time they could say that they loved someone or they were on their death bed.
did you just confused Japanese and Mandarin?
Xièxiè is mandarin for thank you, Sensei is Japanese for Teacher or Master
Scott Sensanbaugher Yeah, I'm with @Indra K here. It would make no sense for a Japanese character to suddenly switch to Mandarin to say goodbye to her adoptive father/guardian, especially since she just says two words to him in that scene.
Either way, the message is still there.
“Raleigh is a great protagonist, he proves this by overcoming hardship and being one of the only two to run solo.”
Me after watching pacific rim the black: There’s three actually
is the black any good? It feels similar to Pacific Rim 2 which is turning me off
@@jammygamer8961 It’s nothing like pacific rim 2, you should try it
The Black is awesome!
Actually, there’s four if you include *Taylor Travis.*
wasn't it said in the black that there were quite a few who did solo runs but only a handful where successful and taylor either picked at random or the one that went the best for the ghost drift he did, and I'm pretty sure Stacker and Raleigh weren't on the list, which, if I'm right, I'm guessing is due to both doing solo runs in old model jeagers so the data from the solo run was never transmitted and archived anywhere but then again if taylor did chose the one that went best, it would have either been stacker or Raleigh, since Raleigh killed a kaiju whilst feeling and experiencing his brother's death before getting the jaeger back to land which was when he finally stopped piloting, Stacker on the other hand had his copilot pass out then said "fuck it, I'll do it on my own" and killed a kaiju, so really Raleigh would be the best choice but probably wouldn't be picked out of a risk that his ghost would allow the more than likely debilitating pain of his brother's death to bleed over to Taylor thus possibly deterring people from using him for the run, or that may be why he's not there as they didn't want anyone drifting with his ghost due to some1 trying before and the pain bleeding over probably had some serious adverse effects on the person and they didn't want to risk it again, as for stacker in this case it'd probably still be due to him doing the solo run in what I believe was a 1st gen jaeger and they just didn't think to recorde the drift/run data since the knew everything worked and no-one ever thought someone would try or have to do a solo run
Also the edit was done on my phone so excuse formatting errors and other stuff
I mean in a way it's kind of satisfying watching CinemaWINS pointing out so many good things about a movie, instead of complaining about everything which is even more humorous
I'm a little disappointed you didn't add in a few points for the scene after the nuclear explosion where the water was vacant and came rushing back in
yeah me too. I thought the first time I say it "Why are the fish flopping?" and then I saw the water and I was like ooooooooh cool
I concur with your statement!!!
Ikr
The reason why is that the way it happened wouldn't have happen but it still was pretty cool
no such hting as disppoix or not point or not, infinite nmw
This line is so underrated, especially when you watch it in context and not just read it: Newton created a neural bridge from garbage and drifted with a kaiju!
This sentence is a WHOLE STORY
😂
That line is an adventure form the start to the end
Fun fact: Slattern (The tentacled multi-eyed hammerhead kaiju at the end) had the crap beaten out of him (she? Them?) so badly by eureka that he had to call for help from the other two kaiju. Just imagine if Raeleigh, a more skilled pilot, piloted Striker. It would have been absolute CARNAGE.
Which is funny as hell because he is apparently "category 5" 😂
"So either we sit here and wait, or we take these flare guns and do something REALLY stupid."
My favourite line
@@kalliswhydouwannaknow564 same
"Today we are cancelling the Apocalypse!" Is one of my favorite line deliveries in all of movie history.
Same
How about
"Today we celebrate our independence day!!"
Or
"Tonight we dine in hell!!"
Well, to each their own. But there are lots of good line deliveries.
Works especially better in my opinion since they had a literal scheduled time that the world would end, well it was just a countdown but it’s never added to so yeah ig the guys just had a little sticky note on their calendars saying “End of The World, don’t forget lunch”
@@thedumgum9253 For me, that’s why it’s so good. Because it’s not even a metaphor, they _will be_ cancelling the apocalypse.
My inner kid was going crazy with excitement 🤩so cool
What about when stacker says "WE CLEAR A PATH FOR THE LADY!" and they nuke the ocean? Seems like that deserves a win.
I love the flare gun scene, and I wish I remember the lines as well. It's basically, we can do something stupid, or we can do something *really* stupid.
Best bit about this movie (regardless of how unrealistic it was) is that military and government figures actually listened to experts.
you know... that knowing head touch has more than just hollywood cliche dodges. The "knowing" head touch is that they already know what they're feeling. They're putting their heads together, *kinda* like when they drift. They already know what they're thinking
*ahem*
"weeeeeee are gooonnnnaaaaa poooooork toooniiiiiiiite"
Something tells me Pacific Rim 2 won't blow me away quite like this movie did... but hey, I fucking love giant robots fighting giant monsters.
who can complain right?
+The Timelords my sister can
i just love how this can be epic with good visuals and cgi for once, all of those cheap chinese robot vs big monster movies really gave this theme a bad name, this changed all of that!
Kaipyro67ALT I think it will
trailor is out
Crimson Typhoon is my favorite of the Jaegers despite them not having too much screen time. The 3 arms with saw blades and one eye is awesome as hell.
You didn't fully mention how gipsy wins the hongkong fight with sheer resourcefulness! First he rips the EMP from the gorilla (mentioned), then he rips the acid gland from the lizard and freezes his tail with the coolant discharge, then uses the reactor discharge to slow down the fall impact, this theme goes until the end of the movie
The theater I saw this in had a system that shook the floor and chairs, all the bass, and a screen twice the size I'm used to. Was blissful
Lucky
God damn that sounds fun 😃
Your in a 4d movie then my friend.
where and what theater
Isn’t that imax?
2:44 “This first real shot of scale is staggering.”
I see what you did there.
I personally love how the jaegers incorporate rocket thrusters into their fight choreography, such as Typhoon and Gypsy.
"Sensei aishitemasu" people say to someone really really close in their family or something, that makes it more emotional.
I love how u defend the sword scene
Post script
They were all good explanations 😉
I never saw how it needed to be defended, as they already gave a sufficient answer in the movie before that scene. I guess a lot of people just forgot that Kaiju blood is toxic, and just decided to hate the sword anyway out of embarrassment.
I really didn't think about the toxic blood thing, I just thought it was stupid awesome like the rest of the movie. Like, yah, it doesn't make sense but NOTHING DOES lol it would never stop me from enjoying this kind of movie.
Everything makes sense until you remember Crimson Typhoon uses 3 edged weapons. Unless its a statement about how China doesn't care about the environment, the sword reveal is still kinda dumb.
I'd like to point out that one of my favorite elements in this film is that you could still recognize the anatomy of both the jaegers and the kaiju. In the Transformers films, almost all of the Autobots and the Decepticons looked the same. The only real distinguishing aspects were the tiny splashes of color from the paint. In Pacific Rim, the jaegers and the kaiju all had their own unique look, so on top of the movements being unique (As pointed out in the video), you could still just glance at them, even during the action scenes, and know who was who.
James Steele:
I didn't think about that. That's a really good point. Cool. I love this movie all the more!
In Transformers, both teams are Cybertronians, who decided to pick sides and fight eachothers. I think the message there is "no matter what side you're one, you're still one of our race." Drift was once a Decepticon, but he was an Autobot in 4, and they were cool with it.
In this movie, it's robots vs an alien race. If they had looked the same, it wouldn't make sense.
Yes, but what he means is that the differences between the Jeagers themselves are pretty big. Not just slight paint differences, but differences so big you can just see 1 second of a fight and instantly identify WHICH Jeager is fighting: Gipsy Danger with is chest reactor, Strike Eureka with its dual swords, the blocky, rectangular "head" of Cherno Alpha, Crimson Typhoon and his 3 arms, etc. Even the kaijuu have big enough diferences that you can tell them apart at a glance.
Basically, you can see a second of a fight and instantly be able to say "Yep, thats Gipsy Danger fighting Knifehead", or "Thats Strike Eureka euthanazing Mutavore!". The same cannot be said for transformers.
LetztezBatallion I kinda agree. The first 3 have everyone almost unrecognizable, but TF4 has some differences. Optimus has the knight look, Hound's the only fatass, Drift's a samarai, Crosshairs has a skirt-looking thing, Galvatron has a hole in his chest (is everyone trying to be Iron Man?).....
Well, that's about it. Can't find anything generic about the others.
The same can DEFINITALLY be said for transformers. If you care about the characters at all (and if you have seen more than just the Micheal Bay films, you should), it becomes easy to recognize named characters and distinguish them from eachother.
One of the greatest elements of this amazing film is verisimilitude. You can "feel" the size and weight of both the jaegers and the kaiju. The scene where Crimson Typhoon activates its "super" attack, we see the rocket thrusters on its back get activated in a sequential order to help with the rotation of its torso (its hydraulics whouldn't be able to move that thing left and right so fast). Yeah, the scene with the boat-sword isn't that realistic but it is awesome! Amazing designs, cohesive story and good character development. Another great Del Toro creation!
The sequel... well... good idea in theory... terrible execution (with a few virtues).
I really wish they would make a prequel since they never made a sequel to this. Would love to see the battle between the first jager and kaiju
Prequel would be great because most sequels to films are bad
Pacific Rim was so freaking epic in scale and atmosphere. The bloody sound track alone and the music changes from Jeager to Jeager to Kaiju is just so damn phenomenal. It got me so hyped for a sequel that when the 2nd movie was announced i literally shouted "YES" in the middle of a crowded library.
Then the heartbreaking disappointment when i actually watched it. It felt more akin to a shitty spinoff than a direct sequel. But we'll always have the masterpiece of a movie Pacific Rim.
At a surface level the sequel had what the original had but that was it
@@jammygamer8961 surface level indeed. The movie had good talant but terrible writing and plot.
I love how they made the jagers from the difference countries Russia is mainly knowed for hard hitting heavy armor and slow moving Japan and Chinese army's in the past are fast moving and quick hitting the u.s.a that's a tough one but there a medium not to fast not to slow but also not to armored or hard hitting there a all rounder of damage speed power and maneuverability
Easy the one from the US is nuclear analog lol
@Hellkite1999 I don't really know I haven't seen any of there jagers
Ahem ahem T-90 ahem
No no the american is actually faster then the chinese and it relys on gun power
@@joaopedrofm1299 oh well that's interesting
7:27. How the Evergreen ship got unstuck.
A few things!
The music is fucking amazing. It has that mix of dreadful "Giant Monster" inevitability, like they're going to die, with that flare of superhero/giant robot action. Like "They are here to kick its' ass. And they are going to kick that ass."
The comic establishes that it was America's idea to build giant robots which is kind of funny. "Screw it let's just hit them with BIGGER monsters. yeah, that'll show em!"
Also, the Jaegers are shown to be incredibly effective. That's why the Kaiju kept coming back and kept losing; because the Jaeger program was so effective they had to really push their efforts to actually challenge the Jaegers. It didn't feel like they were limping along to the next fight. It felt like it was fully justified why they poured so much money and tech into the Jaegers; because they freaking WORKED. It wasn't an act 3 "we're suddenly strong/coordinated enough to win". You see why they've survived so long and it's because the Jaeger program was a massive success so you get this ACTUAL sense of apprehension when the Kaiju start pushing back harder and nearly winning; because we've already established the power of the Jaegers so instead of using their failures to show how tough the enemy is, we use the heroes to gauge that. We watch them win with less of a margin every time. It does a better job of displaying the strength because it's always getting closer to a loss.
The boat sword-baseball bat part is so awesome. I was overtaken by pure, raw, condensed HYPE during that scene.
Come on. Recount. That deserves at least 10 points on its own.
best scene ever...everytime I just this movie a scream
THEY DIDN'T KISS AT THE END!!!
that's the biggest win of the entire film
Nicholas Pentowski no they didn't
*sin
Otakusatsu : オタクサツ same XD
Otakusatsu : オタクサツ yep. I hate kiss scenes
Otakusatsu : オタクサツ add 300 wins total wins 505 cuz NOT KISSING IN THE END add 200
Quite apart from the awesomeness that is monsters vs robots, I love this movie for introducing the idea of drift compatibility.
We don’t really have a word for intimacy that transcends our social roles. You can be drift compatible within familial, romantic, or platonic relationships.
It’s a concordance of purpose and feeling and intent. I think it was in service to this idea that we didn’t have to have the Final Kiss. Like you said, the core of the relationship isn’t about that.
Man when Gipsy Danger makes it’s new and improved debut against Leatherback and Otachi after the first group of Jaegers were completely outclassed and overwhelmed and doing it all alone is such an amazing scene that solidifies Gipsy Danger as my favourite Jaeger personally and after it’s upgrades easily the strongest Mk.3 ever, rivalling the power of Mk.4 Jaegers not in agility but in raw power and defensive ability. Proving itself to be an incredibly durable Jaeger in comparison to Striker Eureka. Plus it’s always handy to have a nuke when you need to close off some weird underwater alien portal from and take out those pesky aliens while you’re at it.
Pacific Rim deserves to be a classic to be watched for generations. It's just so freaking entertaining and well thought out. I have not seen a movie in recent times that is as memorable, lived up to and even exceeded it's entertainment potential as this movie.
Mad Max did what this movie couldn't IMO. By the trailers alone I thought Pacific Rim would be one of my favorite movies of all time. But it left me feeling disappointed. Then Mad Max came along, and again by the trailers it looked like everything I'd want in a movie. That time it delivered in every way and is now my favorite movie of all time. I'm still very excited for PR 2!
Cafelogis it's up there with Independence Day and Armageddon
As much as I loved this movie, my biggest complaint was some of the side characters literally came into existence to die. The Russian couple was praised for being so amazing with such an old Jaeger, and they literally died after throwing a couple punches. I know the Kaiju in that fight are supposed to be incredibly powerful [with abilities no one's encountered yet], but the Russians and Chinese basically turned into red shirts.
It was also the first double event. No one knew how to deal with that.
I'm aware, but they were two-on-two [I know there was a third jaeger, but it was supposed to sit back]. It just sort of sucked that the russians and chinese were touted as these really badass figures, only to die like a bunch of goons.
Yeah that bugged me a lot, I kinda wish they weren't killed off, maybe taken out of the fight instead, same with the Chinese. Technically they had the second most power Jaeger behind the Striker. And the Russians had 6 years worth of experience fighting Kaiju. Though it was done to show how dangerous the Kaiju were.
It would have been better if they had a bit more character development but them dying seems to go along with the plot. The Kaiju attacks were destroying Jaegers faster than they could be built which is why the governments of the world abandoned the project. It makes scene that one or both would be wrecked in that fight.
That's really my main issue. I don't really have an issue with them dying. If they had been just another couple of "mooks", final vestiges of the Jaeger program, then whatever, but instead we're told how badass the five pilots were, and they die rather unceremoniously. Gee... Splendid...
The musical score of this movie deserves so many Wins !
this movie is so special to me- it's when I started loving action movies as a kid. Also, I've never forgotten the musical theme of this movie, and I want to have a blue streak in my hair like Mako😆
Don't care what anyone says.....this movie was awesome.
Talgat Khamit it still is
Agreed
The sequal
Well no
Kinda everyone agree on the fact that the first one was awesome
It's kinda del Toro creation so yeah
4:21
Normal person: Poor girl
Car guy: Damn, that's a clean RX-7.
I noticed that and I literally lost my shit that a Kaiju was going to destroy that car.
Actually it was dirty, didn't you see the debri on it ?? 🤔😂
when car guys mean by a car being "clean", they don't mean it's clean, like not dirty, they mean it looks brand new and well maintained. That car was well maintained before the owner decided to skaddadle the fuck away from the kaiju because he/she could die from a kaiju. The car is still clean through the dirt and debris
If you were sarcastic or joking, my apologies but I am very bad at detecting sarcasm on the internet, or a joke. The emojis dont help.
Anyways, I hope you understand what car guys mean by a car being "clean". Have a good day.
aarevalo3 r/woosh
nerfrussiaplz So it wasn't just me?
The sword is meant as a last resort due to the kajiu blood being toxic/harmful to humans and therefore blunt attacks and plasma attacks are more suited for dealing with kajiu(the plasma cauterises the wound a bit preventing/lessening blood splatter/spill)
Some people find the Drift thing confusing, so I'll sum it up easily.
Imagine you and a friend want to play a video game, and each of you has half of the controller. You can't talk to each other, so you instead link minds, effectively making you two bodies with the same brain. It helps with control, otherwise you'd have pilots backtracking and second-guessing all the time.
Another detail I have yet so see anyone notice. Leatherback and Otachi were specifically designed to take down Cherno Alpha, Crimson Typhoon, and Striker Eureka. The aliens were building the gen 3-4 Kaiju in order to counter the Jaegers on an individual basic, Knifehead was designed to be able to avoid Gipsy Dangers grappling moves by having the knife on its head for instance. Cherno, Crimson, and Striker have 6, 7, and 10 kills respectively before Hong Kong, so the aliens had encountered them many times and knew what to expect. Otachi had the claw on its tail to stand even against Crimson Typhoons three-arms and acid spit to compromise Cherno’s immense armor, while Leatherback’s EMP was made to stop Striker and possibly Crimson Typhoon if Otachi failed. It’s details like this that make me appreciate the movie so much more.
Tbh I did not think about that, see gipsy was the one that I understand but wow it is kinda crazy, my confusion is wouldn’t the aliens know that gipsy was still living?
@@djsurf2254no, gipsy was just repaired by the time Hong Kong fight happened. And then to top it off, by the time newt drifted with the kaiju, gipsy was not allowed to be deployed due to pilot complications. Therefore gipsy had the advantage of being unexpected
@@melt6894 oh 👌, that does make more sense
Fun fact: 愛しています has more impact than "I love you" as this form is typically used as a final confession of love, accepting that this will probably be the last time she will ever be able to say it, and taking the opportunity to say it. In english, we don't have a true translation for this, same 大好き which also gets translated often as "I love you" but is more of a first confession of love.
The drift part makes sense honestly.
Even though in video games, you can controll a tank with only 1 person, in real life, there is a genuine issue of operator overload.
Dividing up tasks with crew has a real statistical benefit.
I assume its the same with Jaegers honestly.
I think the funny part about Crimson Typhoon's pilots shaking their heads is that they are pilot from the inside of Typhoon's head. Meaning, they probably didn't get much of their senses back from shaking themselves around hahah
