Pacific Rim
Pacific Rim is a 2013 American science fiction monster film on DVD, directed
by Guillermo del Toro.
When an alien attack threatens the Earth's existence, giant robots piloted
by humans are deployed to fight off the menace. When legions of monstrous
creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would
take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years
on end.
To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive
robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose
minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly
defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju.
On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to
turn to two unlikely heroes – a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and
an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi) – who are teamed to drive a legendary but
seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind's last
hope against the mounting apocalypse.
Critic Reviews:
- " The carnage causes both tremendous destruction and a good amount of
entertainment. " – Mike Massie
- " That rare live-action film that actually justifies catching it in 3-D.
" – Richard Propes
- " Del Toro creates a cinematic universe with its own rules that reaches
the point of amazement with the explosive action sequences. " –
