Ok, i said it. Pacific Rim really is a shit movie! there’s so many things that don’t make sense in the movie, simply too many yo!
IMDB classify it under “Action/Adventure/Fantasy”. Quite frankly, i don’t know how to classify it, science-fi?

Let’s put aside how building such huge machines is practically impossible in next 14 months from today. Put aside how neural handshake sounds so senseless, let’s ignore the fact that you need a countdown to start a handshake but can disconnect anytime you want? the movie basically never really bother to explain anything about why you need to do this, why you need to do that, it’s basically just “Action”. see robot boxing giant aliens creature classified by category 1 to 5 and so on, then how easily it is to kill these aliens using the giant sword, which always make me wonder, why not use them in the first place? Maybe years of fighting wasn’t enough, they only realise they can kill the aliens swiftly with their giant sword towards the ending scene. the war clock seems like hell of a big deal, but when they say we can stop the clock, instead of stop, it actually countdown to zero instead.

there is so many classic plots that just don’t fit in.
all advance digital robots failing, and suddenly there’s a working analog nuclear powered robot that works. hhmm, suddenly the helicopters that transport them are analog too! Suddenly everything that needs to work start working again, immediately.
Oh gosh, talking about helicopter, the ending scene mimicking “Independences Day” of flying planes, it’s just terrible! Wasn’t that suppose to be a rescue or recover helicopter? do you really need 20 over helicopter to recover 2 person whom you have their exact GPS location? and where did all these helicopter come from? When we only see one take off! hhmm, maybe it’s like, let’s send hell lots of chopter to fly over them and they can come back, like a victory salutation. Only then can they be picked up by a separate helicopter.
another classic plot, that detonator have to fail in the last minute requiring a manual trigger.
veteran got shock in a drastic event, decides to quit, go work in some low down shabby dirty job, and got invited by super high ranking people arriving with excessive entourage, to invite them back, saying you are needed to save the world.
program get cancelled, end up, it’s the exact program that saved the world. and what the heck is this “Coastal Program” btw.

yup, and neural handshaking with giant baby aliens is going to tell you that the gateway will check your signature to make sure you are alien else they will bounce you back. and how they can actually use radio signal to communicate supposedly to another universe or planet or whatever.

ok, i will just keep ranting. but the boxing scenes are really terrible, making it worse by how really how easily they end up killing the aliens of with swords.

and if you stayed to watch the post credit scene, (yes, there is a post credit scene for this shit movie), ok, i am just lost. i don’t even know what to comment about that. it’s just senseless.

i think i am trying to put too much logic and sense into this completely insane movie. Godzilla is a way better movie than this, visual effects aside.

But you know what? Maybe i will give this movie one star up. Simply because it’s the only movie i watched in a while that do not have any sex scene at all! Can you believe it!!!? No SEX SCENE at all! Not even any intimate kissing scene or such! NO! It’s pure power rangers! Oh wait. even power ranger have kissing scenes.

and just wondering, if they can build so many huge machines and huge bases, why can’t they just build a giant grinder over the portal hole, and just grind anything that go through that hole to pieces? Oh, because otherwise, that can’t have giant machines to punch aliens in the face!

this is such a shit post.
