Synopsis: In the not-too-distant future, a mysterious teleportation tunnel suddenly appeared at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. Giant monsters (Kaiju) emerged from this and attacked the coastal cities of Pacific countries. Humans developed a giant mecha hunter (Jaeger) controlled by a two-person partner to fight against the monsters and achieved a short victory. But the power of monsters continues to grow, and the crisis is imminent. Mecha project commander Stacker Pentecost (Idris Elba) finds former driver Raleigh Becket (Charlie Hunnam), hoping that he can partner with rookie Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi) to defend the earth...

Are you waiting for the summer popcorn blockbuster? ? Don't miss the "Pacific Rim" of Mechas vs. Monsters! This is a sci-fi movie that must be in the cinema to experience 100% of the new visual impact: its special effects and rhythms allow you to see the panorama and details while enjoying the surging heart of the fight; the big scene and the sense of tension can also be said to be better than "Superman:" "Man of Steel"; fans even used compliments like "the sum of the trilogy of "Transformers".
Director Guillermo del Toro is the quality assurance of "Pacific Rim". He has directed both the unique live-action anime series "Hellboy" and the humanistic suspenseful fantasy film "El laberinto del fauno" (El laberinto del fauno), the latter also won the "Best Three Oscars for "Photography", "Best Make-up" and "Best Art Direction". From this, coupled with the slogan "25-story monsters and 25-story mechs battle", it is not difficult to imagine the visual wonder of this film. The director revealed that his team would draw designs like children every day, and would eliminate plans like "American Idol" every week. In the end, the monsters and mechas all stand out from hundreds of schemes, with different abilities and distinct personalities. The battle also fought from the snowy Alaska to Hong Kong with a different style, from the ocean that is suitable for monster attacks to the city facing confrontation, accompanied by tiny humans, and it is extremely shocking. In the theater-like light and shadow, the floor of the theater trembles with the sound, of course you are on the scene without turning your eyes.
Although the plot is unscientific by some audiences, the rhythm of the arrangement definitely makes you as nervous as the countdown to the monster inside. What is particularly creative is that the mecha man is no longer alone in the house, but requires two people to share brain waves for cooperative control. The two-person action simulation-driven setting not only makes the audience feel like playing video games, but also emphasizes the theme of unity and trust. Only two people with the same mind can drive together and give full play to the abilities of the mecha. Therefore, the drivers are basically brothers, couples or father-son partners. The protagonist and heroine are first acquaintances, and each has a past, so this combination is also interesting. Outside the battlefield, there are two cute scientists who are responsible for making strange things and adjusting emotions while studying monsters. Naturally, there is a lot of anxiety, exclamation and laughter in the theater.
Although the 3D of "Pacific Rim" was converted from 2D, the full three-dimensional effect of the film is still very colorful. Please imagine the feeling of monsters coming to your face! Still, please pay attention to the surprise eggs after the ending subtitles!

Pacific Rim quotes

  • Raleigh Becket: This is worth fighting for. We don't have to just obey him.

    Mako Mori: It's not obedience, Mr. Becket; it's respect.

  • [first lines]

    Raleigh Becket: [narrating] When I was a kid, whenever I'd feel small or lonely, I'd look up at the stars. Wondered if there was life up there. Turns out I was looking in the wrong direction. When alien life entered our world, it was from deep beneath the Pacific Ocean. A fissure between two tectonic plates. A portal between dimensions. The Breach. I was fifteen when the first Kaiju made land in San Francisco.

    [pause]

    Raleigh Becket: By the time tanks, jets and missiles took it down, six days and 35 miles later, three cities were destroyed. Tens of thousands of lives were lost. We mourned our dead, memorialized the attack, and moved on. And then, only six months later, the second attack hit Manila.

    Newscaster: [on TV] The acid factor of the Kaiju blood creates a toxic phenomenon known as Kaiju Blue

    Raleigh Becket: Then the third one hit Cabo. And then the fourth. And then we learned this was not gonna stop. This was just the beginning. We needed a new weapon. The world came together, pooling it's resources and throwing aside old rivalries for the sake of the greater good. To fight monsters, we created monsters of our own. The Jaeger program was born.
