Forum Overview :: Peter Molyneux's The Movies :: Pacific Rim (micro review)

[quote name="Fullofkittens"]I've heard people saying that <i>Pacific Rim</i> is just <i>Independence Day</i> with godzillas instead of flying saucers. Broadly, that is 100% accurate. But it is 10% sillier and 50% dumber than that. If you intend to see this movie, see it on a huge screen with giant speakers. There's nothing there for the small screen. The script is dumb, the dialog is bad, the characters are uninteresting*, even the monsters are kind of uninspired. The best thing about it is that you have battlemechs fighting godzillas a lot. On a big enough screen, that is probably worth seeing, depending on your tastes. 2/4***. *except one character that is somehow able to age 20 years in a decade. That's the only interesting thing about the character though.[/quote]
