Been waiting for this upload since I missed the live stream ❤️
I highly recommend the Movie: UNDERWATER with Kristen Steward. You guys will love it!
the actress that plays Mako is the witch from 47 Ronin
This was a great way to pass my time for an hour, thanks!
Black Summer on Netflix. You won’t be disappointed.
I love Pacific Rim. It knows what it is.
Within 5 minutes, you get a giant monster and robot fight.
The movie isn't anything ground breaking in term of story or even acting... But goddamn that's some sweet sweet robot porn ! I love rewatching it from time to time, it never gets old !
@@Paehrin There is just enough story to explain why there are giant robots fighting giant monsters. Now, FIGHT!
@@heikira438 exactly ! I usually don't like when movies don,t have an at least solid story, but... I really don,t care here, I just want to watch giant metal robots smash giant alien monsters haha !
Every Other Giant Monster Movie: "You can't do that! You've gotta spend 30-60 minutes dicking around with the human cast you probably won't care about!"
Exactly! That’s what we want!
A detail I love about this movie that a lot of people miss is that, when Newt drifted with the Kaiju brain; it's a two-way street. And since the kaiju you are a hive mind they (the kaiju masters) knew all of the information that Newt did about the Yeagers (Cherno Alpha, Crimson Typhoon, and Striker Eureka) and they use that information to specifically design Otachi and Leatherback to take out the Jeagers but they didn't know about Gypsy because Newt didn't know about gypsies capabilities.
Otachi and Leatherback were also designed to be able to get over the coastal walls, with otachi flying over and leatherback being able to climb
Why did they need them when I hey could just use multiple mutavores?
thank you for explaining an obvious plot point to pick up on
@@nicholasmccartney2521 I thought it was obvious as well, but I constantly see it going over peoples heads in reactions.
@@terryhiggins5077 fair, sorry if i came across as rude ✊🏼
Pacific Rim is still my favorite kaiju movie even after all these years. The music, the fights, the action, the story… 10/10.
The music is so unique!
Mines too I like the monster verse with Godzilla and Kong but if I had a choice I'll take Pacific Rim any day
@ Ramin Djawadi! Aka the composer of Game of Thrones 😁👍
but the first movie go its own vibes, the stiff movement of Jeager,or the sound effects when steel,chain,rotors collide each other. the second movie are more like power rangers but the effects and animation are good tho
so sad it didnt have a sequel :(
Pacific Rim is a goddamn modern classic.
Also, the rain does make everything look more dramatic, but in this case, it also helps convey the physical impact and momentum of the Jaegers and Kaijus. Every little bit helps.
As well as helping convey scale.
i always thought it was more just seawater dripping like crazy as the jaeger rises from the ocean base, but either way it's a nice touch
And it also helps hid any little blemishes with the CGI
That movie is so underrated. I wonder if they would make a third sequel though.
@@leroy1154 In addition to being MUCH easier to render because the darkness hides a lot of detail; rain too.
A few details that really make the first scene much darker, that people usually don't get: 1- They drift together, but also with the Jeager, so when it loses an arm for instance, their brains send them an impulse thinking they just lost an actual arm; 2- Their minds were still connected when his brother died, so he literally experienced what it means to die devoured by a Kaiju, while also feeling his brother's terror until the last second. That's so very dark.
It also shows how strong Raleigh's willpower is. Imagine suffering through all that and still being able to walk the barely functional Jaeger to safe harbor.
@ianrosenbalm6555 that's why going solo garners him and Pentecost so much respect
21:22 Fun fact about the little girl that plays little Mako in the flashback.
She actually had a lot of difficulties pronouncing Director Guillermo del Toro's name.
So he gave her exclusive permission to call him Del Totorro-San.
That's right, the character from My Neighbor Totorro by Studio Ghibli.
Thats so adorable
That’s Cute
The reason Gipsy Danger’s A.I voice sounds like Glados from Portal, is because that IS the woman who’s the voice actor for Glados. She was brought to the movie.
What I loved about Mako and Raleigh's relationship in the drift is that it WASN'T a love story in the traditional sense. When you LITERALLY go into someone's mind, it goes deeper than affection, love, lust, or anything like that. A connection that deep can't be constrained by a word like love, because even when you love someone, you can never TRULY understand every single part of them. Being drift compatible is beyond that. It's incredible.
Exactly! It’s never about love between man & woman between these two.
I remember watching this in 3D in theaters, every hit would be felt in my core. What an experience!
it was a blast! That rocket punch was a whole experience in the theater.
Yeah..it was EPIC in 3D! I mean I am an old school Godzilla fan so the minute I saw giant Kaiju's and giant robots I was IN!
Oh yeah, this is the only movie I've seen in theaters 3 times, and the first one was in 3d.
I remember seeing the trailer in 2010. As a child, I became obsessed. The movie came out when I was 14. None of my older brothers wanted to go with me, so I went alone. They regretted it 😏
Took my son. Awesome
Can't believe this movie is almost a decade old. Still one of the best kaiju movies to date.
Such an underrated movie! Saw this in theaters with no expectations and was surprised how good it was. Anything with Kaiju's and Mech Robots I'm all in for!
Underrated by who?
@@maximilianodelrio who knows
@@maximilianodelrio on IMDB it has only 6.9 rating. It definitely deserves at least 7.5 maybe even 8.0. It was way more fun than some Marvel movies at least imo.
@@pokedez5570 by the public. This film didn't have the best marketing. While I do believe this one is underrated, the "Sequel" is overrated. It's a fucking terrible movie. They ruined something amazing.
Cough. Uprising.. cough I joke I might need to just rewatch that one as I’m a lot older now
They feel everything that happens to the robot like its their own body so Raleigh in the first fight at the beginning felt himself losing an arm, half his head getting bitten off and getting stabbed yet he still managed to kill it and carry the robot to shore which is pretty impressive
and he and his brother were still connected, so he felt everything that happened when he was taken.
Fried his nerves too.
It's because of the circuitry suit that's worn under the armor. That's what interfaces the Rangers with the Jaeger's hull so they feel the damage.
i get the point....but wouldnt it be better in a strategical standpoint to make them not feel the damage so they can continue fighting....i mean why did they design it like that instead of just plain old suits
@@ayrus3498 So that they can actually feel what the Jaegers feel when interacting with the real world. For example, the boat they carried in the intro. Without that circuitry suit, they could accidentally crush the boat because they wouldn't know how much pressure to apply
I love the scene when Idris Elba climbs out of the cockpit of the Jaeger after saving young Mako. After Mako's scene of tragedy and terror, Stacker's appearance projected such a sense of salvation, strength and nobility.
It's a cool moment, the Knight saves the Princess, who grows up to be a Knight.
The piece of music throughout that scene is perfection.
When I see that part I usually cry because I have a lot of admiration for Idris saving Mako and I relate to Mako because of a dark moment in my childhood, it really strikes a chord with me to see her running in fear and crying.
A great thing about this movie is that almost all of the camera shots are in believable places and movements as if with an actual camera rig (not as much zooming/panning through the city unrealisticly as some movies do), which really helps sell the scale of the Kaiju and the Jaegers
the great thing about this movie is when its over!
@@jameslen83 you and I are not drift compatible
@@alexkramerblogs i see, but you are the yin to my yang!
The CGI in those moments were immaculate as well. It's rare to see real looking lighting and reflections of city-scapes on computer created models.
Yeah. Unfortunately the sequel doesn't follow in that regard. Feels more like a power rangers movie. I liked the cast and everything but the fights didn't feel as good in the sequel.
One thing (among many) that's amazing about this movie is the 2nd act fight. It's at night. But it's still brilliantly lit and you can see everything in all it's glory.
If only so many modern movies could do that so well.
@@adamvialpando106 Oh yeah ... so many movies these days go for the completely underexposed low contrast look which is not moody but just eye straining and bad looking. It's like the rise of the amateur cinematographers who don't know anymore how to light, shoot and color grade dark scenes properly.
@@Jigsaw407 I heard some people justifying the extreme dark scenes by saying films nowadays are shit on digital instead of film and can now people can see how the shot will look while filming. Removing the need to use excessive lighting for shots. I would believe this logic were it not for the fact that there are still films these days that have dark and atmospheric scenes that actually let people see what the heck is going on. Plus the many digital tools that can change the lighting of a shot. There are no excuses for a film to give people eye strain just trying to watch it.
I'm usually not as sensitive kid scenes in movie as Nikki is (few people are), but Mana Ashida as young Mako holding her little shoe and crying breaks my heart. A cute behind the scenes fact: Mana had difficulty pronouncing Guillermo del Toro's name, so he let her call him "Totoro -san" after the big, friendly rotund creature who befriends a little girl in "My Neighbor Totoro" - a movie you should react to if you have seen it already.
I love Rinko Kikuchi as Mako in this. If you guys watched the Apple TV+ series Invasion, she was the Japanese astronaut.
It's also easier to hide imperfections when it's dark and rainy.
Yes, it's GLaDOS. The actress' name is Ellen McLain.
This movie is wonderful.
I love the weight of these fights, everything looks/feels so titan-like when they move slow.
They seem to move slow, but when you realize the scale, they're actually moving very fast. Sixty to eighty mile per hour punches and stuff. They're just so HUGE each move takes longer to go through it's full range.
The more time that passes the more I appreciate this movie.
Fun fact: you would think a movie like this would be full cgi, but they used a surprisingly large amount of practical effects along with the cgi, hence why it looks so amazing.
LOT of models as well which they would destroy and then layer in CG on top of. It was brilliantly shot by an extremely talented team.
Hell yeah!! Guillermo del Toro never fails!! Hope you can see the rest of his filmography!
I've already seen this movie probably 10 times and I always love it. It's a great ride and I personally chose to take Rayleigh and Mako's relationship as something platonic. IIRC they shot a scene where they kiss out of the survival pods but they went with the scene where they don't kiss because they felt it was better to let people interpret it however they wanted it and that forcing a romantic relationship between them didn't add anything to the movie.
That's really cool
Agree. The scene where Mako sees Rayleigh without a shirt I have always taken as her realizing after her comment about his fighting the difficulty and sacrifice he has gone through with the visible scars. I never took it as she was hot for him or shy at seeing him shirtless more ashamed on how she treated him moments earlier.
For a 2013 film it still amazes how much the visual effects, sound, and overall look still holds up; like it doesn't overstay it's welcome; sure the neon lighting might be a bit annoying but to me how the lighting works in this film gives off this unique charm that the sequel doesn't have. That goes double for the kaiju look and how good the Jaegers look they are all practical and not too campy or too cartoonish
And I'm still geeking out over the fact that Del Toro was able to ask Valve if it was okay to use GLaDOS from Portal to voice Gipsy Danger's A.I. system. So much heart and love was definitely put into this movie.
I knew I heard that voice somewhere 😧! I just didn't know where 🥲. It doesn't help that I never really played portal except the free demo on Xbox360 ages ago 😅.
I love how this movie became a cult classic. It had every possibility to fail, but it just didnt. It's just a damn good movie. Simple as that.
I remember seeing this in the cinema...and it was the movie of the year for me. I was blown away then and I still think it is one of my fave action movies ever. I am rarely disapponted when it comes to Guilliermo Del Toro.
Guillermo del Toro and Travis Beacham knocked it out of the park with this movie. Beacham was also the co-writer for Dog Days of Summer and Clash of the Titans, along with being the creative mind behind the steampunk fantasy series Carnival Row on Prime Video.
Once Dr Newton drifted and connected to the Kaiju brain, the Kaiju Precursors knew exactly what would work to take out the Jaegers, that's why the Kaijus did such an efficient job of the 3 Jaegers.
Hilarious, they think they are watching a movie about WWII or something, and they get Kaiju fights and neural drifting. This is gonna be great.
Okay, now I want a WWII-era Kaiju movie
@@alexkramerblogs Write that down! WRITE THAT DOWN!!!!
@@alexkramerblogs eh it would just lead to us nuking it
This is one of those "don't think about it, just enjoy it" movies.
7:37 Props to Raleigh for actually managing to stay alive. For one thing, this is in Alaska and probably winter, so he was out there for hours, piloting Gipsy by himself, until around midday. Couple that with the damage Gipsy received, and Raleigh feeling Yancy's death in his own brain, it's a god-given blessing he's still alive, and even more so that it's not rendered him mad.
8:58 After destroying a pair of smaller Jaeger's too. Also her name is Mutavore.
9:11 And they just said the Jaeger program was shut down. The Sydney Shatterdome was able to get Striker Eureka, the only Mk V in service, up and the Hansens were able to curbstomp her. Also those punches are going right at Mutavore's eyes, which are under her mouth and leaving her blind.
9:25 Thanks Nikki
44:13 Bear witness mortals. Tremble before Slattern, Guardian of the Breach.
The thing is. It is a love story tbh. For humanity itself. For the place each and every single person has in society no matter how eccentric or weird. As for Mako and Raleigh. Yeah, it’s a love story. And the best part of Pacific Rim and the way Toro wrote it, is there is no way to deny that theirs is a love story. But no one can say it was romantic. You can interpret it as such. But the way their relationship builds and plays out, it doesn’t have to be. And that in itself is another absolutely beautiful aspect of this film.
^^^
This movie is criminally underrated. One of my all-time faves.
A wise man once said: "We've got a freaking Kaiju up in this sh*t!" 😱
One of my favourite movies period. Hit me just in the right age when it came. It started a new era of modern action movies for me, along with the First Iron man. The music by Ramin Djawadi (from both movies) is still in my playlist. And I still re-watch both of them once in a while.
52:20 It sounds like GLADOS because it is. They got the same voice actor.
53:10 It’s always a love story? Actually in this movie they never actually kissed! Found that a refreshing choice.
I recommend reading the novelization as well. It's not as much of a fun ride but it adds a bunch of context. For example, turns out Mako's family were traditional Japanese swordmakers. When Mako oversaw Gypsy Danger's refit, and gave it the new chainswords, she was continuing a family tradition.
With Pentecost talking about his final fight solo, his partner was knocked out by the radiation while they fought Onibaba. He eventually brought Mako to meet her and she was in tears when Mako said she saved her life.
"This movie is a whole lot of fun." - That's the best way to describe it. It's the perfect popcorn flick.
I knew that Mako’s memory would break Nikki’s heart; that child actress did a HELL of a job.
I'm still taken aback when they casually say "I haven't seen Sons of Anarchy." Amazing show.
And perfect for them too.
And the fact they recognised Charlie Day from horrible bosses and not Always sunny 😮
He would love Jax as much as Ragnar
@@ReeceLyons123 they need to see Fist Fight. He's hilarious in that movie.
They definately need to react to SOA
This movie dominated my every thought for years. It just hit me in a special way.
The scene where Gipsy first launches brought tears to my eyes when I saw it in theaters for the first time. Prior to the Monsterverse, this was the big giant monster vs. giant robot movie I have always wanted to see on the big screen! The original will always be a top favorite. The sequel and Netflix anime series, not so much.
The darkness and raining also helps with the CGI and effects, to help blend them in and cover up things that may seem off under harsh lighting making things look more realistic, kind of like that first reveal of the T-Rex in Jurassic Park.
Saw this in IMAX when it first came out and it was one of the best movie experiences of my life.
As a lifelong fan of Godzilla, Kong, and so many others this was an absolute love letter to kaiju fans everywhere and no one is better to deliver it than Del Toro. I honestly would like to see you watch more kaiju movies like Cloverfield, Kong Skull Island, and even some Godzilla movies
Great reaction, guys! You guys are really fun to watch reactions to. Keep up the great work!
One of the biggest things I liked about how this movie turned out is that in the end, it is not romantic love. But they do love each other beyond what normal people can comprehend due to them drifting with each other. It's the bonds of closeness brotherhood (brother/sisterhood), soulmates, companionship, kindred spirits, brother/sister at arms, everything that creates it. That's why they did not kiss at the end. It would be inappropriate.
yes that was one of my favorite things lol. you can see the attraction without needing an 'we made it!' makeout fade to black sequence.
I legit totally forgot about the pregnant kaiju, how could they know she was expecting it was, unexpected 😂😂😂 (I’ll see myself out 🤣🤣🤣)
What makes Pacific Rim so great is it put us right in the center of the Kaiju war. It expected us to trust the story, and understand very quickly what is going on in the world
One of my favorite movies :D
I love the attention to detail on how the mech's move. Like Gipsy Danger is a big mass of moving parts, it really comes across like a massive hulking machine the way Del Toro directed it
Man, PacRim was such a great movie. I got to see it in theaters when it came out with my family. My son (who was...jeeze, like 8) stared transfixed at the screen the entire movie. Did NOT feel as long as it was.
I remember watching this when it first came out, I had zero idea what I was going to and was blown away completely.
When we saw this in the theater, after the pre-title sequence, I turned to my girlfriend and said: "This is already the greatest movie ever made."
There is no situation that this movie's soundtrack can't make more awesome.
One detail from the novelization/the original script that never made it into the movie proper is that Mako's father was a swordsmith. So her adding the sword to Gipsy and killing Otachi with it is her finally getting vengeance
If neither of you have watched sons of anarchy I strongly recommend watching it, it is such a good show!!
I agree with you. I would looooooove to see them react to SOA. One of my favourite shows.
@@danski2260 I watched until the beginning of season 6 and I just lost interest tbh 😅
@@DanielFernandez-gv6iy it did stray from the path a bit but I feel it really finished strong
@@danski2260 that’s good to know. I’ll probably finish it haha, I just felt like it was getting a bit repetitive
@@danski2260
Kurt Sutter did say that pretty much every major story beat was inspired by/borrowed from Hamlet.
Guillermo del Toro know his craft. I love how versatile he is! He can make a badass movie like this one, full of action and references to the Old monster movies and Anime mecha Style, he can make awesome horror movies or love stories...but he always does it right! This has lots of Evangelion vibes, but I love it´s not a Live Action version of it but it´s own version. And yes, this movie is super fun!
This is one of three movies I've seen where the theater experience is required to truly experience it.
Love that you identified the GladOs voice from portal. One of the people in the production of this movie in fact loved that voice so they hired her for the gypsy danger computer voice.
I can see you two as Jaeger pilots.
This was the closest I've seen to a live action mecha type anime. I love this movie. Young Mako was, as with the young Korean girl who played the daughter in Train to Busan, very effective in her part.
This was such a surprise. I watched for Charlie Hunam. Fell in love with idris. Del toro always brings the heat with good critters and creepy visuals.
This is the movie where idris made me believe he could carry a film.
There's some absolutely fantastic references and interpersonal beats taken from Evangelion for this movie, especially mecha-versus-monsters and Mako being an expy for the character Rei. If you guys ever try watching anime, watch that one. It's completely bonkers, in a wonderful eldritch-madness-mecha-combat way.
Totally.
This is still to this day one of my favorite movies. I could watch it at any point and enjoy it.
i got to see this movie in theaters, and i yelled about how great it was the whole way home. you could feel every hit. i absolutely love it.
I love that you recognized GladOS. It is the same voice actor, and a cameo of GladOS :)
Whatever you do, don’t watch the sequel. It’s horrible 😂😂😂
I think they would enjoy it. I did. 🤷♂️
No, let them watch it. I wanna see they're take on it lol
They made it through Birdemic. They could probably hack the sequel to this. 🤣
It's a great movie if you don't care about plot, writing or pacing.
Yep. Was absolute trash.
Was stoked to see you two had done this one, and glad you both enjoyed it. This has been one of my favorites for as long as it’s existed.
I love this film an unreasonable amount. It's just so good. It does exactly what you want it to do. Big robots punching big monsters, but with heart. :D
Holy shit, this is one the best movies ever made! You can really feel the weight behind every attack, such a good way to start my day! Thanks Nikki and Steven, you two are the best!! 😁
This is just a perfect action fight movie. It doesn't waste any of its or your time. It doesn't try to be anything it isn't. It also manages to convey extremely believable sense of scale extremely quickly and well. Plus it's just dealing with some really awesome ideas.
Love this movie. Fun fact: the part where Charlie Hunnam grabs Idris Elba by the arm and Idris is like "don't you ever touch me again" (26:24) was 100% improvised. XD
A highly underrated and unappreciated movie, especially considering the crap we have endured for the past few years.
I saw this in the theater. It was just something to bide time for a few hours. I had low expectations but it was so good. I loved the Voltron/Godzilla vibes. It's become kind of a cult classic I think.
I watched this movie in 3D in the theater and its was awesome!!!! still one of my favorites movies and my top kaiju movies ! I just love it! Guillermo del Toro did a fantastic work with this! I love you reacted to this!! 😍
This is one of my benchmark movies that I routinely ask people if they have seen once a movie conversation erupts. We saw it in IMAX 3D and were blown away. Could not recommend it enough and wish that Guillermo del Toro could have told his bigger story if more people had seen this in the theater. He explained that this movie was the end of the war and that subsequent movies would deal with the beginning or the earlier years of the war itself. Instead, we got Pacific Rim: Uprising which was good in that it was more of the same universe, but was definitely missing del Toro's guidance.
Great reaction!
Watching your reaction really makes me want to go and watch it again. It's been a long time. The one dude that played Murtry in the Expanse was pretty funny to see in that you thought he was a bad guy at the start of this. One fun thing about the design of the Jagers and Kaiju is that they were meant to look like people coulld fit inside them, in honor of the old kaiju shows.
I watched this so many times in theaters. I really wish they waited to let Guillermo do the 2nd one, it wasn't horrible, but wasn't worth watching more then once. the show Pacific Rim: The Black was pretty good to me, just 2 seasons, wish it could have had one more season though, it didn't feel complete and I wanted more lore dumps, and you learn more about some Kaiju Cults, and takes place some time after the 2nd film.
but as a lifelong fan of both Kaijus and Mobile Suits, PR has a special place in my heart.
Right? This as close as I've ever seen to a 'real' Gundam... and we get Gundams fighting Kaiju? Sign me the fuck up.
1, This film is so gloriously silly and self-aware you can't help but like it.
2, The child actor is called Mana Ashida, and apparently everyone spoiled her rotten including the director, but she couldn't pronounce Del Toro correctly and it embarrassed her, so Guillermo de Toro gave her permission to call in "Totoro-san" instead, and that’s adorable.
"Today, we are cancelling the apocalypse!" God I love this movie.
Absolutely loved the look Steven gave Nikki when she pronounced, "It's a boy!" And we both were thinking, how the hell can you tell if this baby kaiju is a boy or a girl? But while I would be dumb enough to say that out loud, Steve just let it go unsaid - beautiful, brother!
Because when it came out it was all blue.
@@SlashmanSG 🤣True, true, but Na'vi and smurfs have blue babies, which aren't always boy babies. (Although with smurfs, it's almost always a boy...)
I'm glad you liked this movie, it's my personal favourite movie of all time simply because it connects with the kid In me in a way that no other movie I've ever watched has, I wish I could watch this movie for the first time all over again
In the beginning you see the effects operating and drifting with a Jaegar as a single pilot had, bloodshot eyes, bleeding nose, obvious trauma etc Pentecost was one of the only successful pilots to operate a Jaegar by himself, that is what he is suffering from, the persisting effects of that.
I just love the Del Toro blew the entire budget three times on this movie, one of those times building the giant jaeger head 😂
This is still one of my favourite movies of all time
I always have fun watching along with you guys.
Out of all the movies I’ve seen in my life, watching this in theaters was a experience like no other. Watching it again at home was great, but that theater was experience
“This movie is so fun”
“I was just thinking that!”
Omg you guys are drift compatible 😊
It’s not a Guillermo del Toro movie without Ron Perlman

Happy Holidays, thanks for all the amazing content.
For some reason this is my absolute fav movie of all times
I LOVE this movie, it's so comic book-like, so over the top and visually stunning, just such a guilty pleasure treat to watch easy movie night, fun times! Saw it in cinemas and seen it 10s of times, so much fun!
Extremely underrated film. Would have loved to have seen this at the theater in DBOX seats.
A love Letter to 70's, 80's Super Mechas and classic Kaijus Like Godzilla.
OG Daimos format, having the operator act out the movements inside the command capsule.
@@Ryan_Christopher Great Mazinger, Grendizer all the Go Nagai Works (he's My Favorite) I liked Daimos too Back in the day we Rented the VHS...
The Jaeger remind Me Of Evangelion with the Limited time, energy, ressources to fight an enemy that is Already on earth...
@@juliusperseus8612 Grendizer and Mazinger didn’t get enough traction where I’m from. If it wasn’t for my classmates’ pre-school lunchboxes I would not have any memory of UFO Grendizer before the fan renaissance of late. Voltes V and Daimos got the most airtime, though the non-American English voice dub feels out-of-place in retrospect.
To my knowledge all the other giant robots were controlled by seated pilots, assisted by AI. Daimos alone allowed for free pilot movement in the cockpit.
Such a fun movie. I went in expecting Giant Stompy Robots vs. Kaiju and was totally satisfied! My husband spent the ride home complaining about everything they got wrong about the physics. XD
In the making of they explained that they needed it to be raining during the pivotal fights as it helped give the viewer a scale of how big the they were as it made the slower movements of the Kaijus and Jeagers more dramatic, thus conveying size.
Pacific Rim is one of the most underrated movies ever in my opinion. Shame they screwed up the sequel a little bit.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. So excited for the reaction.
I bought this movie on dvd when I first saw it. It is such a great movie. I love the story, the characters and friendships and family bonds, the excitement and fight scenes. Seen this movie like 10 times.
The bond these men and women need to be the best in there machine is amazing to me. Really made these stories with the characters for me.
One of the best things about this movie is how the action is shot. Most of it is either ground level views to make them seem bigger or helicopter shots with little quick zooms and it really plays into making you feel like your there watching them.
A real gem 💎 from the 2010s
*Pacific Rim theme intensifies*
I was there for the live movie night, and here again to watch the youtube video, your reactions are the best , made my day twice!!
