    From my first viewing in the theatre in 2013 in Singapore until this very second I really like the first Pacific Rim. It could have been really really bad but in the end it’s a movie with heart and you root for the characters. The CG is exceptional and the Robots and Monsters move extraordinarily well!

        I think it found its audience after some time but when it was released many around me treated it as adult power rangers and thought it was corney. It’s not that they are/were wrong it’s just that those things didn’t make it a bad movie in my opinion. It’s probably more liked than I remember, but very few join my annual viewing party. 😆 Yeah PR2 I’m not a fan.

          It is corny, but that’s not a knock against it. It’s exactly the right amount of stupid awesome. Like Independence Day.

      It’s a bit dated now, but if you like mech piloted fighting, check out this movie called ‘Robot Jox’. People shit on it but it’s a classic imo. I believe it’s free to watch on Tubi rn.
