typical hollywood movie

Simply put, except for the picture, nothing else is great.
The story doesn't always feel coherent enough.
In terms of characters, why are there only two very 2 very 2 scientists? Isn't every disaster film called a large number of scientists? Why is it that almost all Japanese actresses who appear in international films have the same face shape. Why did you get the male lead back without doing any tests, and concluded that he could still drive. Why did the escape pod not be crushed into pieces when it came out from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean? The mecha may be fine, not to mention that such a simple escape pod can resist such a large pressure.
It is still the United States that saves the world, the mechas of China and Russia are all dead, and then the mecha of the old beauty saves the earth.
The ending is still a typical big reunion, and Hollywood has never had a hard time with the audience.

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.
