I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Stop making Pacific Rim. Just, stop. We were not hopping you can make it real epic, just make it cool is enough. You got one job from us ,and you ruined it. So just, stop before we had enough.
When a movie has to refer to itself as 'diverse' to attract audiences then it means they didn't spend a lot of time on the script...or the plot...but hey, it's diverse and there are cool special effects, right? Sigh. Honestly? I got about 9 minutes in when I had to stop watching because I ran into the stereotype of underage genius builds giant robot in an abandoned warehouse. Even as far as science fiction goes I find that too horrible. But hey, if movies that rely on diversity are your thing then you should totally check this one out because except for diversity it doesn't have much else going for it.
This movie is, to me, a quite nice special effects extravaganza. In some ways I actually liked this movie more than the first one.Sure, the underlying story is totally ludicrous. Come one, fighting giant monster with big clumsy robots that requires two people in some strange mind melt to maneuver is just ridiculous. Just send in a couple of fighter jets with some suitable devices that go boom and be done with it. But then, the purpose of these movies are to show off giant robot special effects and on that note they certainly deliver.This installment in the franchise seems to be more geared towards the younger audience as far as the story and the cast goes. Some people like it, some don't. Personally I'm fairly neutral.As with the previous movie the story is not really that much to write home about. It has plot holes big enough to drive I giant robot through. I just had to say that didn't I? Still, there are some parts of this story that I liked better than the first one. It is a quite straightforward story with clear heroes, clear bad guys.It does not really have any of that lazy stupid plot twist where some dumb ass politicians are trying to shut down the program to save money. Sure the program is in some danger but this time it is due to a new program that actually sounds reasonable and could improve things. Of course said program gets sabotaged but hey, we, the audience, want our big silly robots right?The story is also mostly devoid of any stupid SJW crap or silly green preaching. The ridiculous crap about Dinosaurs being the first invasion and that we had terraformed the planet (global warming and all that stuff) so a second invasion was more likely to succeed was just an insult to the more intelligent among the audience and took off a star or two from the first movie for me.On the whole I quite enjoyed the movie. It delivered where it counts, that is in the special effects department. Loads and loads of special effects mostly involving giant robots and Kaijus slugging it out with massive property damage as a result. They are literally beating each other up with skyscrapers for Christ sake!The story, acting and everything else is adequate. Nothing more and nothing less. I do miss some colorful characters like Hannibal Chau (Ron Perlman) from the first movie. The characters in this one was more bland that has to be said.It seems like a lot of people on IMDb and elsewhere have their pants in a twist over this movie and rates it one or two stars out of ten. That's just nonsense. A one star rating is for a movie that is truly awful in all aspects. The special effects alone elevates this movie above one star. You might not like the turn towards the younger audience or something else in the movie but it still does not make it a one star movie.Sure if you are not a science fiction or fantasy fan and do not care about special effects then I guess you could feel this is an awful movie but then why did you watch it in the first place? It is the second installment in the franchise so it should come as no surprise that the movie lives and dies by it's special effects.I would say that if you like giant robots, monsters and special effects and don't mind a fairly thin story aimed for the slightly younger audience then there is a fair change that you will find this movie entertaining.
I guess my title tells all. I saw someone wrote on here already"how come she can lift the arm of the robot and attach to it! Lets just leave the "how did she assembled the robot" part aside. Can someone tell me that is she a Tony Stark or what? She was a silly girl in the flashback(Daddy, I am scared!) and then, somehow, she has got at least 20 PHD, MBA, etc(I am guessing this type of education would take to do all of it!) to get the knowledge of building a GIANT(yes, let me rephrase, a GIANT) robot by herself! I am not going to bother myself going through the lame acting, terrible CGI, and underage cast part at all. What is it? A kid show? I didn't bother watching it in a movie theatre and thank god I didn't!
