Movie Review: Pacific Rim

Brief Summary - A ‘magic’ portal deep beneath the sea floor serves as a passage way for monstrous beings (Kaiju) to attack all ye helpless Earthlings. Naturally, humanity turns to Asia to churn out massive robots (Jaegers) piloted by humans to brawl - cave man style- with said monsters.

Rating - On a scale of 1 to 10 Pacific Rim earns a 6.

Movie Strengths - Larger-than-life machines vs. monster fight scenes...who needs high tech weaponry when you can haul a ship out of the sea and bludgeon a monster's head with it...EPIC!

Movie Weaknesses - The supporting cast members left much to be desired.

Final Thoughts - Calling all nostalgic Anime and Transformer fans ! The good news - this movie will provide some relief...however that relief is fleeting, so unleash your inner kid, ignore your "mature brain" and enjoy the destruction.
