With a score of 76 points, the fighting scenes are more exciting than the Transformers popcorn blockbuster, I recommend it to friends who like to watch monster fighting blockbusters
In the second episode, which is newly released this time, the rationality and logical relationship of the story are much worse than the previous episode, but the scene design and visual effects production of the fight are still wonderful, and the deduction is mainly at the plot level.
1. Movie Type: Monster Science Fiction
"Pacific Rim" 1 and 2 are blockbusters in which human-controlled steel robots fight monsters. They focus on visual effects and fighting scenes, and the plot is optional. The level of excitement far exceeds Michael Bay's "Transformers" series.
The first episode 2 years ago is full of humanistic significance and doomsday feelings, plus excellent visual fight scenes. I hit 88 at the time.
In the second episode, which is newly released this time, the rationality and logical relationship of the story are much worse than the previous episode, but the scene design and visual effects production of the fight are still wonderful, and the deduction is mainly at the plot level.
2. Story: Just tinker with the plot and start playing
The small robot fights the big robot—the human-controlled robot fights against the monster-controlled robot twice—the human-controlled robot fights three monsters first, then the combined monster—end.
There are bad Chinese elements in the middle of the story (the robot company is in Shanghai, the company's president + operator is Jing Tian himself, if you speak English, I will reply in Chinese, I don't know how to understand it), and the final fight came to Tokyo ( The whole city was destroyed).
The story is like this, you can ignore the plot in this film.
3. Actors: The Great Unity of Nations around the World
1. Blacks, whites, Chinese, Japanese, and Russians, for the same ambition and purpose, unite to defeat common enemies and monsters. There are actors from all over the world, and they can communicate without barriers.
Because the story is like that, and there are no big-name stars, so it doesn't matter, I don't judge their acting skills.
2. Jing Tian: Probably the third and fourth protagonists, with a lot of scenes. But her recitation and expression really lacked acting skills. The last scene was a domineering president, and the next scene suddenly turned into a sweet mechanic manipulating the machine. Don't you think you have a split personality?
Why is so much Chinese capital piled up on her, a Chinese actress? Is she the only Chinese actress willing to break into Hollywood?
3. Rinko Kikuchi: Very beautiful and temperamental, but unfortunately I got the lunch box too early.
Four, tidbits:
1. Director Steven S. Dinette has been influenced by Japanese classic monster films such as "Ultraman", "Lava Ambassador" and "Godzilla" since he was a child. Doomsday monster.
2. The film was shot in Sydney, Australia, Wanda Base in Qingdao, China, etc. The story is set ten years after the previous film.
3. Although "Pacific Rim 1" is well-known for its high quality, the filming of the sequel has been delayed repeatedly because the box office of the first film did not meet expectations. During this period, Legendary Pictures was acquired by Wanda. In the end, "Pacific Rim 2" was filmed. Green light.
5. Summary:
If you want to see great scenes, or want to see robots fighting monsters, I recommend this film. For those who are in pursuit of storytelling and artistry, go see The Shape of Water, the best film at the Oscars.
I don't like "The Shape of Water" myself (I don't think it deserves an Oscar for Best Picture) and prefer mass commercial movies like "Pacific Rim 1 and 2", which is the kind of audience I am.
