The design of both Jeagar and Kaiju are brutal and majestic. Expecting a lot from the maker of Pan’s Labyrinth and Hellboy 2, del Toro delivers with a lot of what made him great (even if you’re mostly getting del Toro, the action director). It flows with both confidence and conviction.
Now, on the positive side, if you focus your attention to what is on display, Pacific Rim excels. The film is set over a small amount of time, considering the attacks have been going on for years and though it covers many key events in the Kaiju war, it never really feels like you’ve been delivered the full picture. Unfortunately what is shown is both giant in scale and unjustly short. This story is HUGE as a concept and it should have translated that way. Now while that’s an interesting (somewhat ballsy) approach, this structure causes Rim to feel much smaller in scope than what it actually is. From there is where the movie actually begins. The intro then concludes with the untimely destruction of one of, what seemed to be, the human race’s final salvation. Condensing years of devastation and development, into one short montage (the first five minutes of the film covers the entire ark which Pacific Rim is built on: the first encounters of the Kaiju, the initial attempts to stop them and finally, the culmination of the Jaguar program) which contains enough story to fill an entire other movie. In it’s execution of this however, is where the film stumbles. Though taken from many sources, (and by no means, anything that original) it shapes a very well-throughout premise with detail and conviction. Which is unfortunate considering Pacific Rim’s all round story is it’s strongest element.
Like last years Les Miserables, Rim makes the unfortunate error of trying to fit in 3-4 hours worth of storytelling into just over 2. There’s a lot to love about Pacific Rim, but where it suffers seems to be mostly through a lack of confidence in it’s own premise. Instead, it was more or less, directly in between Greatness and Disappointment. The result, as I had to expect, was not that of a game changing event. I was hoping for brilliance, something to truly give other blockbusters a run for their money. An ambitious idea, carried with big-budget effects, brought to you by master director Guillermo del Toro. I was so excited to finally see Pacific Rim.

I not only hope for a sequel, I hope for loving imitators who don't aspire to pretentious greatness (Rise of the Guardians), don't have something to immaturely prove (Man of Steel), and actually have their own story to tell even if its derivative (Star Trek into Darkness is not only a Rip-off of Wrath of con, but it is practically a sequel that is DEPENDANT on it). It feels like Hollywood at its best since they just want us to have a good time. They can be dumb or dull, but it feels more like a circumstance of a rushed schedule or odd-ball casting. Genuine love for what they are doing in the film and real effort in making us as the audience part of that fun. They may not have had the best plots or most original stories, but they had substance that can honestly be felt. This is a movie (strangely enough like John Carter) that should just be enjoy. This was the kind of fun I remember as a kid. I came in, saw some good fights, and got a happy ending without bullshit. This movie (while very flawed) should be a model example of popcorn entertainment. The fights are exciting because of anticipation and build up. Yes this has giant robots and that is the main reason to see the film, but they are not just jingling keys in front of us. Sure it has lack luster actors, but they are mixed with some fine ones as well. This is not Transformers 3 or the Hobbit where special effects and action scenes are a cluttered mess of ADD rave parties that try to up the excitement with jumpy editing. This movie is not Man of Steel or Star Trek into Darkness where there is a child-like obsession with being "taken seriously" by adding grotesque violence or depressing overtones. It is not something that can be measured by terms like "latest and greatest" or "cutting edge". It is not just drama or social commentary.
