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. Written by Del

It’s a robot movie; a machine movie, heavy mechanics and
electrics movie. Versus monsters. If you’re a fan of Voltes V, Daimos,
Evangelion, Gundam, I think you’ll also get to like this movie. At first, I was
already getting bored; the good thing about the movie is that it’s getting
exciting towards the end. I find it fast paced though with a timeline and with
a lot of story lines squeezed in one sitting. There was this some 20 years ago
some five years ago; and then there was a father-daughter, collector,
scientists, etc. At some point I felt like there is too much going on in the
movie. Anyway, the main point is the robots vs. the monsters. If you ever
watched any of the cartoons/animes I mentioned above and include Ultraman in
that list, you’ll basically have an idea that the movie comprises a lot of
combats between the protagonist mechanics versus some antagonist sea creatures.
Basically, that’s it, and the movie revolves around figuring out how to defeat
the monster – identifying its strengths and weaknesses, how it/they arise/s,
when, where, their origin etc. On the other hand, it’s how about planning the
attacks, finding the perfect pair who would control the robot, etc. Just add
some factors of The Core, and the drama of Armageddon, the Pacific Rim
storyline is complete. For the visuals, it’s eye candy.
My favorite line from the movie: "Stop the clock." It's a reminder that every bad thing happening has its end.
On a moral point of view, nakssss, I liked that simple
thought that we can defeat our bad memories of yesterday, our thinking and
negativity caused by the downbeat past which has been bothering us and think of the present, we have the power to control the present and eventually fight for the future.
