Pacific Rim: Uprising
Directed by Steven S. DeKnight
It has been ten years since The Battle of the Breach and the oceans are still, but restless. Vindicated by the victory at the Breach, the Jaeger program has evolved into the most powerful global defense force in human history. The PPDC now calls upon the best and brightest to rise up and become the next generation of heroes when the Kaiju threat returns. From TMDB

AI summary of the public posts linked below. Not a review by Rotten Tweets.
Counted from the reviewers’ own 0–10 ratings on the 5 rated TMDB user reviews we collected (7–10 positive, 5–6 mixed, 0–4 negative), not by the AI.
Some viewers find the special effects impressive and the action non-stop. [1][2] Several reviewers criticize the story as derivative and full of plot holes. [1][3][4] A few note that the sequel is inferior to the original film. [3][5]

This movie is, to me, a quite nice special effects extravaganza. In some ways I actually liked this movie more than the first one. Sure, the underlying story is totally ludicrous. Come one, fighting giant monster with big clumsy robots that requires two people in some strange mind melt to maneuver is just ridiculous. Just send in a couple of fighter jets with some suitable devices that go boom and be done with it. …

The only thing that went wrong with this movie was Charlie Day turned out to be the surprise villain! But....the none-stop action was very awesome.

Transformers with some thought actually put into it! Plus, the always scrumptious Scott Eastwood always welcome. Yowza!

I don't like PACIFIC RIM, but it's incredible how good its own sequel makes it look. What a dismal mess of a movie.

Reductive or not, there's a lot to be said for eye-candy, and luckily for Steven S. DeKnight he has recruited John Boyega and Scott Eastwood into this CGI-fest that picks up from the, dare I say, far superior enterprise from 2013. It's "Lambert" (Eastwood) who has to knock his new squadron into shape as they prepare to fight an even more deadly army of "Transformers" - nope, sorry, "Kaiju" - as the portal between …

positive · AI labelView post →Pacific Rim is 13 years old and no big monster movie since has looked as good, felt as believed-in, or bought into its own bullshit so whole-heartedly. Changed the game and perfected it in one stroke
positive · AI labelView post →Today's December Comfort Watch: Pacific Rim, the most deliriously entertaining monster film in recent years, made all the more impressive for being Guillermo del Toro's "rebound" film after another project fell through. Read all about it: whatever.scalzi.com/2023/12/27/t...
neutral · AI labelView post →So intro time for the new folks. I’m a storyboard and occasional concept artist for film and tv. I’ve worked on Star Trek Discovery, Pacific Rim, IT, The Thing, loads more. I used to draw comics for Marvel, DC, Dark Horse and 2000ad/Dredd. I designed Pennywise’s smile makeup by accident one day.

neutral · AI labelView post →As you wonder why your vacuum robot is always stuck in the corner or why the climate-killing plagiarism machine told you arsenic is a key part of a key lime pie recipe, consider that the 2013 movie Pacific Rim takes place largely in 2025.
neutral · AI labelView post →There was a lot of “scary for kids” stuff happening in Matilda and that movie was really fun to film! I also think about Mana Ashida talking about how she called Guillermo Del Toro “Totoro-San” while they were filming scary scenes in Pacific Rim! youtu.be/cRzk09h6YwM?...

neutral · AI labelView post →Very related: I've now seen Pacific Rim for the first time. What a fucking movie. I screamed with joy multiple times. It might be the perfect film. It's so stupid. I love it.
positive · AI labelView post →We should be on our fifth Pacific Rim film by now. Was the second movie mid? Sure! But you know what else? It still had giant robots and kaiju! A formula so powerful that it is a genre within itself. I demand a face-to-face with the President of Hollywood!

positive · AI labelView post →Pacific Rim takes place in 2025 If you start the movie at 10:18pm* Idris Elba will finish the sentence, “Today we are cancelling the apocalypse!” at exactly midnight *(and 25 seconds, if you want to be super accurate)
neutral · AI labelView post →We’re watching Pacific Rim for the first time. We just started. The voiceover said “the whole world came together” and all three of us scoffed in unison. We may be too jaded for this movie.

positive · AI labelView post →They should just let me make a Pacific Rim movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Pacific Rim did exactly what it was intended to do. In terms of execution on the vision of the director and achieving what he wanted to achieve in the audience, Pacific Rim is, literally, a perfectly crafted film. And the mecha and kaiju design was actually peak. Like, indisputably, top 10 GOATed.

positive · AI labelView post →Always love re-watching Pacific Rim (2013) with @lluisabadias.bsky.social and after all these years I really do prefer it in black & white There's a stark, brutalist energy that only really shines through in monochrome. A real masterpiece of chiaroscuro I love both this & Uprising so damn much 💜🦖
positive · AI labelView post →Picking a random film from my collection to show off for no real reason! Year 2, Day #90 "Pacific Rim" (Guillermo del Toro/2013) Awesome kaiju versus mecha film by GDT full of plenty of great action! I had a blast seeing this one in the theater, check it out.
positive · AI labelView post →So as I will never stop needling @russburlingame.com about: I was one of the movie reviewers for a site and reviewed Pacific Rim when it came out. Great screening etc. but my title “Pacific Rim, Job Well Done” had to be changed by my editor. (Against his wishes!)
