Review of Pacific Rim (2013) by Graeme G — 23 Jun 2018
Pure summer spectacle. The plot holes are bigger than the breach between dimensions, the lead as lifeless as the robots, and the screenplay as clunky as, uh, the robots-but it at least keeps you entertained for most of its (overly long) runtime.
At the very least, the movie is trying to be more than its component parts, even if it never really transcends or subverts it genre in any way, being instead just content with delivering punches without much weight behind them.
