Doesn't it look amazing?
Ta-da! Eddies Sofa is now officially off hiatus. And what better way to celebrate than with aliens fighting giant robots?
It’s worse than it sounds.
I’m pretty sure this is how the director and producer came up with the idea:
Dude! Let’s make a movie about futuristic aliens invading earth through a portal in the ocean floor!
Yeah! That sounds awesome! –Wait. We need something to fight them.
Uhhh… how about giant robots?
Yeah! What should we call them?
Um… *Looks down at beer can* Jaegers!
Sweet! Now do you think we should come up with a reason why the aliens are invading earth?
Uhhhh… NAH!
Yeah and we need to have people from different countries, because we want it to be a well-rounded, ethnically diverse movie.
Of course! How about China, Australia and SOVIET RUSSIA!
Yeah, but we need to make sure the Australians aren’t played by actual Australian actors, because that would be logical, or something.
Yeah. Do you reckon the others need to talk?
Nah, they're just going to die anyway.
So… How are we going to resolve the portal?
Didn’t they do that thing in the Avengers where they chuck a bomb through the portal? Let’s do that, but in the ocean!
Do you think people will notice?
No, they’ll be too busy looking at all the crap blowing up to notice.
Nice. But we have to make sure everything blows up, otherwise it’s not a good movie.
Of course! Wait- do we have any chicks in this movie?
Nah. Not important.
Don’t you think someone might get mad if they noticed there were no women?
Alright fine let’s put in one girl.
Where’s she from?
I dunno, somewhere in Asia.
SWEET!
YEAH!
And thus, Pacific Rim was made. This movie follows my Three-men-and-a-crate-of-beer theory.
Now don’t get me wrong, I love action movies; I’d take explosions over a Romantic comedy any day, but Pacific Rim is just so absurdly bad, that it’s really funny. Did I at multiple times want to yell “’MURICA!” at the top of my lungs? Yes. Did I? Yes. By the end of the movie, I felt like my IQ had dropped 20 points.
The only good actors in the film are Mana Ashida who plays Token Girl in a flash back, and the Australians dog. Frankly there really isn’t that much else to say
Are the action scenes good? Yes.
Is the scripting good? No.
Will this movie make you feel smarter? No
Feisty chick-o-meter: 2/10
Age rating: 14+
Rating: 4/10
Number of explosions: I don't know, but a lot.
