The film has all the elements of success: the setting is liked, the stunts are dazzling, the music is sassy, ​​the actors are handsome, the plot is not bad, except for the heroine's painting style...

Look at this face and hairstyle, the male protagonist is just as ambiguous with her as she is. Seeing Arthur's affection for Gunniang, passers-by feel deeply aggrieved for the male protagonist! And that acting skills... The cute girl has finished her acting skills and smashed the heroine a few streets. It's just that paralyzed face with no expression + the eyes are rolling around to see the whole play! Your looks and acting skills are worthy of playing Aina Ashida when you were young!

Director, do you mean that such a burning film must return to a man and a woman falling in love? shallow! Looking for a mistress like this? Aesthetic collapse!

In a word, this film is a bright spot, except that the heroine is a black hole.

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.
