Its not great, its quite cheesy with obvious moments, and the film won’t really be winning any awards in that department. And it has absolutely no relevance to Transformers despite a superficial resemblance.įirst off, I’ll say that the acting in the movie is decent. And given the recent successes of Michael Bay’s Transformers franchise, not to mention the trailer scenes that we saw, the Jaegers are quite analogous to the sentient Autobots and Decepticons.īut the thing is, the movie is so much more. The kaiju monsters in the movie are all of that same monster scale and that particular genre is HUGE in Japan. As far as branding actually goes, its not too far off the mark. I’m a simple guy and I like to simplify things, so this seemed to be an apt short-short description of the movie to me. Going into the movie, my expectation was that I’d be watching Transformers versus Godzilla, to put it all in a nutshell. But still, it is something that that is completely different. In a way, this isn’t something that we haven’t seen before. Pseudo science with goofy scientists? Check. Large controlled robots à la mecha anime? Check. The trailers promised something totally incredible that was also a lot of fun to watch because of the movies roots in the genre it was set in. As much as I was looking forward to the Superman reboot Man of Steel. More than Iron Man 3 or Star Trek: Into Darkness, Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim was high on my list of summer movies to watch this year.
