Workers: after 1 year we finally fixed golden gate bridge
Godzilla in 2014: *you sure bout that*
1 year later: we fixed the bridge again!
2015: San Andreas fualt: you sure about that
It would be even better if Godzilla and Pacific Rim were on the same universe
@@loner2025 no
MonsterVerse is about titans that try to restore the balance in the nature
And rival fights
While pacific rim universe is about a giant robots vs kaiju that try to take over the world
@@RotMP Well you kinda right
@@loner2025 it actually would be better just because of this joke that the golden gate bridge keeps breaking
The golden gate bridge just can't catch a break
Golden gate bridge: God Damnit I'm getting tried of being destroyed so many damn times in movies can I get a break PLEASE!!!!!!!!..
Poor bridge. It’s like the entirety of Hollywood hates him
Technically it keeps getting a break
@@Unorite as in getting snap like toothpicks..
2 godzillas and a Kaiju!
"To fight monsters, We created monsters of our own."
Mechagodzilla.
King Ghidorah : I love my new looks
@James Smith literally that’s what I hope destroy all monsters is. I hope destroy all monsters is that monsterverse and pacific rim crossover we’ve been waiting for.
If the humans of pacific rim made a funcional and not evil mechagodzilla, they would not need any other mecha or the jagers, that shit its broken as fuck

I still love what the "everything changed" part is actually referring to. It's part of what makes this film great there's a lot that happens that only makes sense on a second watch.
The thing that changed is that the Kaiju learnt how to "kill" Jaegers. See before then the Kaiju are fighting the Jaegers as though the Jaeger is alive, attacking its arms legs torso but after Knifehead cripples Gypsy Danger by attacking its head all the Kaiju learnt that the head is the weak spot. In the scene where the Jaeger program is pronounced dead, we see the destroyed jaegers in a few cuts. All of them are damaged heads. Every single one. In fact, not a single jaeger in the film is destroyed by a kaiju without losing its head.
What's even cooler is that when we see the three active jaegers (minus gypsy) they all have some special difference to standard jaegers which makes going for the head harder. Churno Alpha's head is "hidden" in its chest, with a decoy head on top of its tower. Crimson Typhoon has an extra arm and is piloted by three people and it's extremely agile this coupled with its nonstandard "cyclops" head makes targeting that difficult. Striker Eureka is too fast, and heavily armed, it's so advanced it can go toe to toe with a Cat 5 and win, the kaiju don't have time to go for its head.
But it keeps getting better. Because we also find out that the wall is being built but soon afterward we see Mutivore breakthrough (in less than an hour), so the Kaiju now know about the wall, and low and behold the next two kaiju to come through the breach are both capable to bypass the wall in less than that time. Leatherback is built like a gorilla it can climb over the wall with ease, Otachi can fly the wall isn't going to stop her. But these kaiju are more than that, they are anathema perfectly designed assassins to target the last three operational jaegers.
You see when Newt drifts with the kaiju he accidentally reveals the weaknesses and strengths of the three jaegers (but not gypsy), that's why Otachi and Leatherback handled them so easily. There was no way at all for the three jaegers to beat these two kaiju without getting lucky. Otachi has the acid and three limbs; wait three limbs, the exact same number as crimson typhoon, and not just three limbs but an extra precise tail with a head-crushing claw at the end perfect for sniping jaeger con'pods. The acid on the other hand is brought exclusively to fight Cherno Alpha the most heavily armoured jaeger there is. Again that's oddly specific. Then there's Leatherback, obviously, the EMP was there to knock out Striker but it was also there to knock out Crimson Typhoon if needed since the Mark 4 and 5 jaegers were vulnerable to EMPs. Then it has the big dextrous arms, these are not only there to climb the wall if necessary but also for specifically killing Cherno Alpha, see Cherno Alpha's secret weapon is that its con'pod isn't in a typical location it's in the chest and heavily armoured and then there's the fake one on the top of its tower. But when Leatherback is fighting cherno it doesn't go for the fake one, it ignores it and goes straight for the real one crushing it deliberately.
The one thing these kaiju weren't expecting was gypsy, they thought it destroyed by Knifehead even newt didn't know it was operational, at best he might have heard about the incident of both pilots chasing the rabbit and it not being operational before he left to find Hannibal Choi. So when Gypsy turns up the kaiju have to improvise (and both do), but gypsy is better than new and the pilots are extremely skilled but even then Otachi comes close to destroying it only Macho knew about the sword though so Otachi was blindsided by its sudden appearance.
The final three Kaiju are designed to specifically fight the surviving two. Scunner is a sneak and a tank, it hides in the shadows and can tank a lot of damage, Raiju is extremely fast designed to be faster than either jaeger, its job was to snipe Gypsy's sword arm and take the weaker jaeger out of the fight whilst Slattern dealt with Striker. Slattern the first Cat 5 is extremely smart, the first thing it does is knock out Striker's cannons, then it tries to finish the jaeger off quickly, going straight for the head. It's only the fast reaction of the pilots that counter this move, so it immediately moves to outmaneuver the only mobile jaeger since gypsy has been crippled (missing most of a leg). In the end, the move sort of works, since Striker has to sacrifice itself to take out Scunner and cripple Slaattern but the Cat 5 is still alive, it's only creative thinking by Gypsy that kills Slattern (a move the Kaiju don't know about).
Thank you for reading. I love this film, I hope I've given you a new appreciation for it.
oh shit that makes sense
Thats a cool observastion me dude
Its the small details like the ones you mentioned that make a movie so good.
crazy, i didnt even think so far
U have sharp eyes, my friend
I love how they put pieces of news broadcasts and other shows to make the movie seem more authentic
Makes you so immersed into this world.
Amazing
Like many apocalyptic movies? Minor thing. There’s better reasons why this movie is good
@@MikeMike-dv7iv that's why he says "I love" because it's his personal preference, maybe he just has a thing for news broadcasts
You might get a kick out of this video showing the world from the Black Mesa Incident to the 7-Hour War: ruclips.net/video/5qmWvsxHuEk/видео.html Uses some audio clips from speeches made in regards to a big real event that had happened. I won't spoil to which one.

Let's pretend Uprising never happened like it's a non-cannon sequel to a manga. Hope they do a prequel with how the kaijus first showed up, how they lost, build their own jaeger and recruit pilots. Ofc Yancy, Riley and Mako should be there and more importantly, Guillermo del Torro.
@⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ the actual problem is that they replaced not to developed characters with not to developed teens , like the humans where kinda bad in the first movie and they are afwul

Memories, I remember being so hyped seeing the first trailer my freshman year in high school. This is still one of my favorite movies of all time
Dude this made my childhood basically
Same when I was 6 I saw the poster for this outside the movie theater and I wanted to see it
fax
The trailer is what intially caught my attention, I was 11, impressionable and they said aliens came from the pacific ocean instead of space. The rest is history...
"...then we learned: We needed to make giant robots with hard fisty punch action".
They couldnt use blades or guns unless necessary due to Kaiju Flu. A very missed point of the movie. Blunt force trauma was the easier solution as oppossd to wiping out whole eco systems and making everyone sick.

This movie is literally just a less confusing evangelion
And less boring.
@@mwizachihana9551 Less depressing. Less Existential. Less whiny altogether XD
@@mwizachihana9551 If Evangelion is boring to you, not sure what you are ingesting or consuming

@@Eric-mw2kc Exactly, people that say things like that are the ones that probably found Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Paprika, Perfect Blue and more, "boring".
Sure, if you're used to turning off your brain while watching movies or series, then don't complain about Evangelion when you're used to don't giving a fuck or putting effort to understand the plot.
You can just see the effort they put into this movie. The CGI is phenomenal.
For those confused about geography. The “35 miles and 3 cities” include the entire Bay Area. San Francisco, Oakland and Sacramento. Not the Philippines 🙄
So I guess there were widespread celebrations across America when those three were destroyed and disappointed LA wasn't included.
Wasn't the 2nd attack Manilla, not the first?
@@Aniviper no the first kaiju smashed up San Francisco, Sacramento, and Oakland .
The second smashed up Manila
@@lalallama171 LOL I think you need to read my post and watch the video again. The 2nd attack was Manilla. Sacramento is 85 miles away from San Fran. Jeez even San Jose is closer than Sacramento.
@@Aniviper no you’re right I’m just an idiot.
these "want a sequel" comments really didn't age well
but my hope for the 3rd one still remains either, hope it make justice for the bad 2nd
The 2nd one wasn't bad. I liked it and still hopes to get to finish out the trilogy
@@Tony-hv8wz it was shit actually.
@@NOF4C3 it was fine actually.
Hopefully this ages well
Ya the second one was pretty bad lol...
This is why the first movie was so much better than the sequel. The camerawork makes you feel like a spectator to the action and doesn't just move around undeterred like a Transformer movie.
thats a wildly unfair comparison
to Transformers
Michael "Motherfuckin Money" Bay is actually trying to do that style for his personal visual....whatever it is he does
....the sequel definitely wasnt 100% sure what it was trying to do
PR1 focused on making the Jaegers feel big and heavy. PRU's felt weightless.
@@Adamdidit its not unfair, its completely true. He never said that was bad about the Transformer movie, just that the camerawork was different and gave a different perspective on the monsters and machines. PR (2013) was more chaos and slow moving destruction/power whereas transformers has more of the classic anime intro and quick movement feel with the robots.
which brought him to the exact same conclusion as you in the end. sequel tried to have both and suffered from it.
@@Tarazonatunes I always rate doing something you dont intend lower than doing something you do.
Bay is trying to evoke a specific reaction with his work, this film haphazardly went in that direction by accident.
It's not about good or bad. It's about whether you're actually accomplishing what you're aiming for.
@@Adamdidit I understand all that and i agree. Still doesn’t mean it’s unfair to use transformers as a comparison
Other movies: tease the monsters throughout the entire movie, give you about twenty or so minutes at the end of actually seeing the monster.
Pacific Rim: 45 seconds until the first kaiju.
G2014 is still the best and most realisitic Godzilla/kaiju movie in the existence of cinema *BETTER* than 60 decades of toho. It might only get 1 flaw as less godzilla screen time compared to them and even that worked in it's favour in a way
@@michaelc.8712 you have a point tho but I'm still not convinced
@@apetogetherstrong4243 Great job speaking for yourself, I guess. I'll take the improbability, cheese and silliness of Showa and Heisei era Godzilla films over 2014 any day. King of the Monsters was a breathtaking return to form. 2014 is still a fun movie tho
@@tannerbarnes7392 guess you do like no story dumb repeated plot no character poor cgi,overused soundtrack man in a suit playing monsters toho over modern sci fi
@@apetogetherstrong4243 excuse me, what? The best actor in the movie dies in the first act, Aaron Taylor Johnson is a plank of wood throughout, Elizabeth Olson and Ken Watanabe are completely wasted.
The story isn't great, basically the plot of 1998 Godzilla but with extra Kaiju thrown in, and Godzilla himself is lacking in any of the personality he was known for by fans, or any of the personality he has in the later films of the monsterverse. If I want a good story in a Godzilla film, I'll go watch Shin Godzilla, or the original. Hell, vs. Destoroyah is better in the story department. Godzilla vs Biollante low-key slaps in that area too.
Don't confuse a serious tone with a good story. 2014's plot is average monster movie fare, and the series has done better before and since.
Edit: Also, overused soundtrack? Have you ever actually listened to an Ifukube score? Are you even a fan of this franchise? You sure don't sound like one.
The amount of world building done in three minutes here is more than what some movies will do in their entire runtime. I really love this movie, too bad Uprising didn't keep to what made this movie great.
The fourth time they figured out it wasn't gonna stop?? Christ, what were they waiting for, an email from the monsters?
Maybe they thought the kaijus were prehistoric creatures, I don't know.
First time: Oh they might be just a sea creature coming up from the depth.
Second time: Giant monster from sea again? What in marine happened there?
Third time: Gosh more giant monster? Hope this will be the last one.
Fourth time: Ok it's a planned invasion.
@@bandejsaint Thank you for an intelligent response to the OP's question. :D
They received multiple emails from the monsters, but because monsters tend to use all caps and exclamation points in their subject lines, it went automatically to our spam folders.

@@BoweDiesel one while frame of thia movie is better
I really wonder, when fighter jet pilots in movies stop flying so close to their targets. I can’t bear the stupidity of this writing in every damn action movie.
Because it's a not stupid writing. It's a nod to an old 70s/80s anime trope of sending in fighters to establish how under gunned conventional units were in stopping the bad guy, and yes one or two fighters inevitably got knocked out by a conventional melee attack. Seeing this in Pacific Rim made me grin like a loon because it reminded me of watching the same thing in Getter Robo during the early 90s.
@airlockengage well, it happens all the time in adult movies. Can‘t accept that. 😄
@@levi.s722
Try Shin Godzilla if you wanna see a military that actually acts like a military.
They still lose of course, but they actually try and play it smart and don't just toss their soldiers and weapons towards the monster like rocks.
There's even constant communication between the army and the government the whole time.
@@jonatanluna1061 where can I find it? It’s not on Apple TV. Netflix, ...

Personally I bought a physical copy around when it was released globally. Physical copy includes both dub and original audio with subs.
Funimation handled the American release so you can watch it through their streaming service with a subscription.
You can also pay to watch it right here on RUclips (dubbed).
VUDU, Google play movies, Amazon Prime, and FandangoNOW, also seem to have it.
Good world-building. In 3 minutes, Pacific Rim brought the audience up to speed and kept us invested. Here's hoping for a third movie more in the spirit of the first.
All things considered, 3 cities were destroyed and only 10's of thousands died, out of a population of likely several million. The people in this film got pretty lucky.
You can say that but it's pretty logical that the casualties were low because even if you see in this scene when that kaiju destroyed the golden bridge there was no one on it every one was safely evacuated (well maybe most of them). So the military was tracking it path and they figured it will go through these cities so they evacuated it in advance and as you said the population was in millions. Not all of them was evacuated.(it is also possible them those who died were the soliders who took tried to took him down
Pretty realistic
I like how they added in the end that people eventually made propaganda, memes, and merch out of the kaiju threats, effectively melding them into modern day culture like what happened in World War 2 with several superhero comics and propagandas
Trespasser is such a badass name for the first kaiju
I remember watching this movie first day, first show. The energy in the theatre was amazing, the audience really enjoyed the hell out of this movie. I really believe Pacific Rim took everybody by surprise. I have watched all the Marvel movies in theatre with it's crazed fans but till date nothing could match the frenzied atmosphere on the very first screening of Pacific Rim. Atleast, that's my personal experience and for that reason i will always remember this movie.
One of the best opening sequences of all time. Hooks you immediately.

A crossover intro would be like this:
Then it all changed, in our fight against the kaiju, we had awoken something. An ancient Alpha Predator, a Titan has awoken from slumber. None of the Breach Kaiju are able to beat him, he ignores any Jaegers and leaves after he kills the kaiju. But soon enough, we had visitors, a group dedicated to researching Titans, Monarch revealed that this Titan has a name.
His name is Godzilla.

Honestly Pacific Rim doesn't need a sequel, it needs a "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters" style prequel series expanding on this entire prologue.
I always wished, after I saw this in 2013, that this was a three movie trilogy. With the first movie being about the first, or first few monster attacks, how they stopped at first, what was learned about them, set up the world and story, end with a big fight and win, but the characters understand they need a new way to defeat the monsters. 2nd film would be about the Jagers, how they were built, how they were operated, how they were used ect. and ending with a big and successful fight at the end. And then the last film is this one... the glory days of Jagers are gone, they have to close the portal now, and its the big fight at the end to stop the threat permanently, like what happened in the movie. This opening shows how much more could have been done, it would have been a great scifi trilogy.
Loved this opening sequence from the first movie, had a lot good writing of what Kaiju and Jeager is and their origins.
Legendary, please make Pacific Rim: First contact, this would be so fuckin cool as it’s own movie
This movie really never gets old
When he said it all changed, it did. When gypsy danger fought knifehead and it killed raleighs brother in gypsy's hull/head, that's when the precursors found the jaegers' weakness, the head. It's why the jaegers' golden age died. The precursors found the jaegers' weakness.
What an iconic scene, paired with amazing iconic music.
The world building in the opening is damn good😮
Guillermo del toro also made scary stories to tell in the dark. That movie took place in the year 1968. Pacific rim took place in the year 2025.
What a fantastic opening to the only pacific rim movie to ever exist.
Pacific rim is a Masterpiece.

I got to immersed in that i thought i was watching the whole thing when it ended i was like aww shit havent watched it for a while
I missed movies like this
"So in conclusion, we have two choices: We can ramp up production of conventional arms - tanks, jets, artillery, to a level not seen since the Second World War.
Or, sir, we can build some motherfuckin' robots."
Considering conventional weaponry is practically useless against the Kaiju, using the first option wouldn't amount to much. Even if they manage to kill Trespasser, there are still more Kaiju to contend with. Plus, Kaiju blood is toxic as frick. If they somehow manage to make it as far as canon, what would they do about Kaiju that could take a 1.2 megaton thermonuclear bomb to the face and still function well enough to potentially destroy a Jaeger other than blow it up with nukes?
as someone who lives in the bay area, sometimes when i wake up i'm surprised the golden gate is still there
"We need kong, the world needs him."
These things would hand Kong’s ass to him on a silver platter. When in doubt, giant robots.
@Undiscovered667dude Kong is just big monkey. He would get annihilated.
That was such a banger of a beginning
If only they invaded the monsterverse, godzilla would deal with them
Without the jaegers, the movie would have been called CLOVERFIELD
August 10th is my birthday
I would love to see a prequel that took place before Pacific Rim 1, showing how the first Jaegers where constructed, how the first pilots piloted the Jaegers. Also, that Mark 1 Jaeger with a big tusk thing in it's chest rocks!
What a good opening, what a good movie indeed :'D
