Pacific
Rim
Story
What
follows
is
PPDC
commander
Stacker
Pentecost
(Idris
Elba)
strategising
how
to
overcome
the
problem.
He
teams
up
Raleigh
with
a
Japanese
co-pilot
Mako
Mori
(Rinko
Kikuchi)
and
recruits
Geizler
and
Gottlieb
(Charlie
Day
and
Burn
Gorman),
a
pair
of
monster-obsessed
scientists.
Drawbacks
In
Pacific
Rim
While
every
character
is
quirky
with
a
back
story
and
engaging,
none
of
them
ever
really
come
to
life,
resulting
in
a
strange
disconnect
between
the
characters
and
the
audiences.
The
plot
scripted
by
Travis
Beacham
and
Guillermo
del
Toro,
though
not
convoluted,
has
a
list
of
cliches.
It
lacks
the
element
of
lightness.
Characterisation
In
Pacific
Rim
To
top
it
all,
the
dialogues
are
dull,
making
the
act
staid.
All
the
actors
are
underused
with
equally
robotic
expressions,
except
for
Ron
Perlman,
who
with
a
snazzy
outfit,
as
the
shadowy
Kaiju
parts
dealer,
breathes
some
life
to
his
performance.
Pacific
Rim
Has
Sound
Technical
Elements
Technically,
Pacific
Rim
is
an
outstanding
achievement
from
the
director
and
his
ace
special
effects
team.
To
create
the
creatures
of
such
magnitude
and
for
the
craftsmanship
of
bringing
it
to
life,
is
no
mean
feat.
Guillermo
Navarro's
Picturisaion
The
cinematography
by
Guillermo
Navarro
seamlessly
merges
with
the
animated
computer
generated
images.
The
smooth
quick
edits
by
John
Gilroy
and
Peter
Amundson
conspire
to
create
a
dynamic
visual
rhythm.
The
only
thing
that
is
overpowering
is
Ramin
Djawadi's
mounting
background
score.
Pacific
Rim
-
Verdict
Pacific
Rim
is
Guillermo
del
Toro's
loudest
movie
and
to
be
honest,
the
din
numbs
your
senses,
forcing
your
mind
to
shut
sporadically.
Watch
it
only
if
you
are
a
metallic
fan.
