Story                      : Travis Beacham

I remember how I was impressed by watching giant robot fights against giant monster like Power Ranger and Ultraman when I was a kid. That was mindblowing experience. Now I have grown up like other normal people, and I will laugh at every kid things in the past. But, for this 'Pacific Rim', I am going back to be a kid again.

'Pacific Rim' sets in a time not far from now. It tells that in the calmness of Pacific Ocean, a 'giant and weird' monster called Kaiju has risen. This monster become a nightmare for whole world. It destroys everything brutally, and kills many people. What makes it worse is another Kaiju comes and so on. But humans decide to fight back. They create monster to fight monster. They build giant robots called Jaeger that controlled by two pilot. Then Kaiju can be beaten. Human race keep their existence. But, slowly, new Kaijus become stronger.,they evolve..

We can't avoid to compare 'Pacific Rim' to 'Transformers' Trilogy. They have same thing; Giant things fight other giant things. The result? 'Transformer' is genuinely a looser. 'Transformer' is just stupid, even they need to exploit woman's body. The storyline... Bah.. The battle scenes, cool but passionless.

How about 'Pacific Rim'? They don't need Rinko Kikuchi showing her ass. Rinko is hot enough without playing naughty. Also, Rinko's character particapates much unlike Megan's running for nothing. The battle scenes? Woahh, really awesome. Even people in theater clapped for some battle moments. Those scenes are thrilling, so mature. The storyline, okay, it's not special, but it's still good plot, has heart on it.

Nothing special about acting performances, even Idris Elba, we can see his next appearance in film about Nelson Mandela, plays bit excessively. The main actor goes so plain. Thanks to Charlie Day and Ron Perlman who give bit laughs to this film. But, I have to admit this, I don't give a shit about anything like that. I ignore many factors, and just having fun watching "Pacific Rim". This is pure entertainment that made with full of passion.

Pacific Rim' is about bringing us back as kids  that having fun and going crazy watching some mechas fight against some nasty monsters. And 'Pacific Rim' succeds!

I will give you the score of having fun watching this,yeah, I think I can't give a score based on same way like before, it's different thing I guess.

9,5/10
