Save the world, save the summer vacation.
Humans once existed as prey. Deep in our minds, there are still potential memory projections when they were killed. The pursuers are much stronger than us in terms of strength and size. Today we are at the top of the food chain. It is time for other species to serve as weak food. But human self-righteousness has disrupted the natural order. Therefore, even if we have been indifferent to media reports of shark cannibalism, we will still suffer from tornadoes and earthquakes. Natural disasters such as tsunamis are also frightening. They warn us that no matter how advanced our technology and wisdom are, mankind still cannot catch up with the strong winds of nature.
Giant monsters appear in our literary works as representatives of nature. In front of them, we are as weak as ants in the food chain. They are as unstoppable as natural disasters, invincible, and humans can only barely survive. However, at the end of a good monster story, mankind can always find a way to continue to survive, and always be able to gain the right to brake in the fight against the monster. We know how to fight monsters like hurricanes, and we know how to win the final victory. "Pacific Rim" tells of a heroic and bumpy land of death and rebirth.
In the near future, giant monsters began to crawl out of the mysterious and unknown trenches of the Pacific Ocean. They landed in coastal cities. Conventional heavy weapons would not damage them. Every time a monster returns to the sea, it will always leave a barren ruin. At the juncture of life and death, a counterattack plan called the "Jaeger" came into being. Fighter armors that can compete with monsters regardless of size or destructive power were used to counter these threats from the deep sea and eventually reverse the situation. Won a short victory. As a result, a new situation emerged. Although monsters continued to climb out of the sea, they were blocked by fighters every time. It seemed that mankind was about to usher in a complete victory. But then the situation changed. The frequency and scale of monster attacks continued to expand, and the "Jaeger" project began to show incompetence. Eventually, the monsters completely counterattacked. A new world pattern has emerged, namely the "Rim of the Pacific" pattern. Human beings have failed in the most surreal battle in history, and they have chosen to break the tank and let the earth fall. They have built huge walls along the coast, thinking that the theory The above can prevent the intrusion of giant monsters, passive resistance methods can not regain the loss of large areas of sea, the borders within the high walls are blurred and chaotic, and the vast ocean outside the high walls is allowed to wreak havoc by monsters.
The protagonist Beckett represents the human camp. He was once an elite of the "Jaeger" pilots. He was defeated tragically in a battle with the mecha "Dangerous Wanderer" against the monsters. The mecha was not only destroyed, but also lost his driving. The partner is also his own brother Yang Xi. Driving the "Jaeger" mech requires two pilots. The two must combine their nerves with each other in exchange for powerful brain waves to drive the mecha, and coordinate and cooperate to control the mecha to fight the monsters. However, since Beckett lost his brother in the battle in Alaska, he has become desperate and intends to survive the rest of his life as a worker. Of course, as the story outline says, monster attacks are still rampant. At this time, Beckett’s old boss Stark recalled Beckett. He hoped that Beckett could take over the final task. Humans discovered the lair where the monster appeared— -Located in the deep space of the Pacific Ocean, Stark needs Beckett to come back and drive the "Dangerous Wanderer" again. Of course, things are not simple. Human beings have been willing to show their weakness. Now there is only a mess left in the "Jaeger" project. Now there are only four mechas that were once mass-produced. If you insist on destroying the space cracks, Star Ke and others must rely on only four mechas to achieve a Jedi counterattack.
This is the content of the first fifteen minutes of "Pacific Rim", followed by an intense and high epic. It shows how human beings, represented by the "Jaegers" pilots, work together to overcome difficulties and achieve victory. Gilmour del Toro has constructed a fascinating world that has rarely been seen on the big screen since Star Wars. The display of the surrounding areas of the Pacific Ocean is quite realistic. As a standard modern blockbuster, "Rim of the Pacific", Among them, the mechas and monsters are vivid on the screen, and the confrontation that often occurs in the dark night will not only be blurred due to the light, the thick night also smears a layer of tragic emotions for the struggle of life and death. War can be described as the greatest action drama of this century. Two behemoths shuttle between the neon-lighted buildings, and the rain pours down from the deep night sky. As I watched my heart beat faster. This movie made me regain myself for the first time. The excitement of watching Godzilla crawling out of the sea with Ray Harrison's skeleton soldiers. Del Toro and the screenwriter Beecham have created a number of great characters. Whether they are Russian, Chinese, American or Australian "Jaeger" pilots, I remember them because of their obvious personality and style. I once questioned Hannah. Mu’s performance, but after watching the movie, he found that there was a sense of self-exile in his bones and sorrow, which was in line with the character of the character. As for Rinko Kikuchi, she perfectly used her nationality and she was wiped out in the collision with Hannum. A lot of dramatic sparks. Del Toro praised the human team spirit through "Pacific Rim" and warned us that as long as we join hands, we can change nature and at least have the capital to try.
"Pacific Rim" is a real super blockbuster. It has fierce fighting between giant mechas and giant monsters, just like a hurricane, and this is what a summer super blockbuster should have.

original text also made a detailed comparison between "Pacific Rim" and "Star Wars". I only did a rough translation here. You still have to wait for the film to be tasted by yourself.
