Pacific Rim

The Really Late Review of Pacific Rim

I would like to call this 2016: Romney's America, but that would be a political statement that would be both inaccurate and inappropriate. Now I only use the parody of 2016:Obama's America more for comedic relief than actually thinking that but there is a big emphasis on poor plans to keep the "illegal" aliens out that resemble republican plans to do the same. As a movie, I found it taxing and poorly written. A little formulaic in the end with little surprises here and there but nothing overly exciting. The actors are the turning point. Idris Elba plays his part like a master and steals the entire movie. The action in this film is like what a Power Rangers' movie should look like. It's violent and dramatic and the second best action film of the summer. I give Pacific Rim 3.5 Jaegermeisters out of 5.
