Pacific Rim: Uprising, 2018
John Boyega seems like the only one having any kind of fun here. I was very happy to see that 90% of the action happened in broad daylight. That rarely happens in these type of movies.

A simple gimmick that I thought was executed quite well. This one really surprised me.
A real enjoyable throwback to the mid 90s high concept cyberpunk thriller with a bunch of practical gore effects thrown in for fun.
Not as bad as I was expecting but I still have tons of problems with it. The movie itself was so dark and muddy looking it was hard to see much of anything really. I’ll watch it again once it hits iTunes to see if I just saw it in...

For me this was a big improvement from the first movie. There still wasn’t much of a plot. You can tell Fox gave the filmmakers a lot more money and more freedom to bring in other X-Men characters this time around.
Fascinating for every minute of the 6 hour runtime. I love learning about events that happened while I was too young to pay attention. I just wish the filmmakers spent some time with the regular everyday followers instead of just focusing on upper management.
I think the filmmakers did the best they could stretching out the original short film into a full length feature film. I thought it was a just ok movie.
I liked this movie more than when I originally watched it back in 2010. I enjoyed the interviews with the real low budget creators but I couldn’t buy the main character’s performance for a second.
This review may contain spoilers. All the twists and turns had me glued to my seat. It is a fascinating story although with most of the major players now dead, the victim’s family will never have any real closure.
