Pacific Rim
Pacific Rim is a 2013 Sci-fi film directed by Guillermo del Toro, the same as The Devil's Backbone (2001) and Pan's Labyrinth (2006), and also action flicks, such as Blade II (2002), Hellboy (2004).
Pacific Rim was written by del Toro and Travis Beacham, and has an interesting cast mixing relatively new faces with more seasoned performers such as Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Day, Robert Kazinsky, Max Martini, and Ron Perlman. The film is set in the near future, more specifically the 2020s. Suddenly, those countries around the Pacific are under attack by Kaijus immense monsters which have emerge from a portal between dimensions that opened up on the floor of the Pacific Ocean. To combat the monsters, humanity makes an effort to create Jaegers: gigantic robots controlled by two pilots whose minds are connected by a neural device. The story does not tell the origin of everything but what happens on what is the last days before the end of the war. The story follows Raleigh Becket, a Jaeger pilot that had retired after losing his twin brother in a fight with a dangerous Kaiju . He comes out of retirement and decides to team up with a rookie pilot Mako Mori in a last impossible effort to defeat the Kaijus.
The visual effects are wonderful though the story is a bit weak, but still woth your time.
Three stars out of five.
