First of all, it is undeniable that the sci-fi setting of the Pacific Rim is very rigorous and interesting, and the degree of creativity is also good (at least in the United States), but obviously the film does not take this advantage to the extreme, as far as I can see For the Pacific Rim, in more than two hours, it may take less than half of the time to tell the story seriously. The remaining half of what I saw were: special effects, special effects, special effects, special effects...
Too many large-scale action scenes and special effects make the whole work seem slick, although it looks gorgeous, but if you uncover this gorgeous skin , There is only skinny flesh underneath. It has to be said that the thinness of the script has become a fatal injury to the entire work, which also makes the rigorously set work finally reduced to a "popcorn" blockbuster.
As far as I can summarize, the plot of the Pacific Rim can be summarized as follows: the
actor originally opened EVA with his brother to fight monsters, and his brother accidentally lost his life and lost his job. After returning from the construction site a few years later, he continued to drive EVA to fight monsters in the underground organization, and finally maxed out the boss and carried the girl.
If you omit the branches and leaves, his main storyline is nothing more than this, and the introduction time for the set is about less than ten minutes, which can only be said to be at a loss, that is, what to accept and what to give you. As for why a monster has turned into four monsters in a few seconds in a few days, why the sewer pipe of aliens to the earth is broken, they can't fix it (Answer: because they are not Super Maries). Don't go into these details, and you won't be able to see the famous ones. The director and screenwriter don't know, can you know?
Later, someone said that the film copied EVA. I said:
"This man is too unconscionable. The director has worked so hard to turn the apostle into a monster and turn EVA into a robot. He even said that "Rim of the Pacific" copied EVA. Is this right from the director's good intentions?!"
Well, the above is a joke. I have to say that the use of Japanese animation from American Film and Television is a trend recently. The earliest examples are "The Matrix" and "Ghost in the Shell". Later, you can say "Transformers" and "Dragon Ball" ( This is a bad movie), "Street Fighter Chunli Biography" (well, this is still a bad movie), "Inception" and "Red Pepper" (although Christopher Nolan once "answered positively" (note: not the correct answer ) It is said that he did not learn from it, but everyone knows exactly how), even "Avatar" has part of it. It can be said that it is commonplace to learn from Riman, which is not surprising.
But controversy is still inevitable, whether it is monsters or neural connections (although the director wittyly changed the single-player connection to the two-player connection, thinking that this would avoid plagiarism, but EVA: Q neutral horse appeared two people It’s connected, and it’s more than a year earlier than the Pacific Rim...) They are similar to EVA, which caused two voices on the Internet. EVA fans said that the Pacific Rim plagiarized, and the Pacific Rim fans said it’s not plagiarism, but a tribute...
In fact, Observing whether he is suspected of plagiarism can be seen from the director's own habits. Gilmour del Toro once said: "I haven't seen EVA!" Then, let us see what his nature is: At the
end of 2008, he visited Japan to promote a new film, during which he went to Akihabara and other places. Goods, sweeping figures, Gunpla, alloy toys, these goods are packed with 11 large suitcases, shocking the Japanese entertainment circle. In the promotion of "Hellboy II", Japanese animation and manga were mentioned by the way: "I liked Japanese anime before Japanese anime opened the market in the United States, from Hayao Miyazaki to Takahata, to Oshii Mamoru and Otomo Katsuhiro." "Japanese monster movies including Inoshiro Honda's "Godzilla" have a feature. Both the audience and the directors love these monsters and can put their emotions in them, which is great." "Metal Gear series games and Jun Ito The second horror comics show different storytelling skills from similar Western works, and they are excellent!"

………………It can be seen that this guy is an OTAKU through and through! ! ! Is the house attribute exploded, okay? ? ! ! ! Well, if you say that even if he is an OTAKU, he cannot prove that he has seen EVA, then please see the following:

Actually, I think it's more than a lot to assess whether the film has plagiarized EVA. Although from the beginning and the end of the film, there is a full sense of EVA, but it is hard to find a piece of evidence to prove that he plagiarized. Besides, even if there is plagiarism, the concept and plot of this film are more than one dimension lower than EVA. EVA is a legendary work in the industry, and "Pacific Rim" is just a popcorn blockbuster that earns votes, the only one. The fun is to shout twice in the theater: "It's great! Ah~~ah~~ So cool! Ah ah ah~~! Cool ascends to heaven!!" (= = Something strange seems to be coming in. It’s not malicious~~), so I don’t think too much about whether he plagiarized EVA. Anyway, it’s just for recreational use of movies, which were originally used for relaxation. Why do you think so much?
In general, this is a popcorn blockbuster, a wide range of special effects and action scenes cover up the real luminous spots, the plot is thin and not new (the same model as most American SF movies!), because it has been greatly influenced by Japanese anime Influence, so the setting is quite interesting. If it's just for fun and relaxation, then this film is too suitable. But if you want to go deeper, you can only apologize. But as I said before, watch a movie and just relax, why do you think so much? So my nonsense above is for reference only. After all, it is not this article that decides whether he looks good or not, but the audience yourself!
