Pacific Rim


"Tonight we are cancelling the apocalypse!", such are the famous line that has been circling my head since I first saw the trailer to Pacific Rim.  A movie I've waited for a long time and never did disappointed me.

I have always been a robot fan my whole life, Daimos, Voltes V, Biomen during the early days.  And then Gundams and Transformers during the newer era, so robots have always been a fascination for me and have always been a dream of mine to see a live one in the near future.  Pacific Rim is about the battle of humans against Kaijus (Japanes for strange creature), monster that came from a portal underneath the Pacific Ocean.  Since humans had a lot of trouble facing the first Kaiju, they soon developed weapons that would actually come to par with these monsters.  And in order to defeat these monsters, we created monsters of our own. Jaegers (pronounced as Yager, German for hunter) are robots designed to battle Kaijus, these Jaegers are piloted by 2 humans by neural link.

The good thing about the movie is that it summarized the plot of the movie early on and just concentrated on the fights and dramas.  To me it was really great since I already know how it started, so it was a great thing they did such.  I came to be entertained, and I was entertained so much!  We watched it in IMAX MoA and we felt like we were inside the Jaegers itself.  The fights were beautifully showed and the scenes were really engaging.  The actors were really not that famous but their acting were astounding.

Pacific Rim is a great movie for it's money's worth.  So if you want to be entertained go watch the movie it's still open in the nearest cinemas and as I understand have earned $80+ million in the 4 days it have been shown.  Watch and be marveled, only then can you understand the meaning of the famous line in the movie "Tonight we are cancelling the apocalyps!"
