In essence, Pacific Rim features a series of Godzilla monsters battle an ever dwindling number of Transformers, layered over the plot from Independence Day, only dumber. December 30, 2013 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

It is possible to applaud Pacific Rim for the efficacy of its business model while deploring the tale that has been engendered -- long, loud, dark, and very wet. You might as well watch the birth of an elephant. July 18, 2013 | Full Review…

A ridiculously entertaining (and often just plain ridiculous) monster-robot movie that plays like that "Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots" game from the 1960s. July 12, 2013 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Its visual achievements notwithstanding, Pacific Rim's greatest breakthrough may be that it's the first Hollywood blockbuster to sport a title less descriptive of its plot than of its intended market. July 12, 2013 | Full Review…

It's as if Del Toro neuro-linked with a robot and then couldn't figure out how to work the controls -- and so watched impotently as the machine made the major creative decisions. July 12, 2013 | Full Review…

I loved the whole look of Pacific Rim...but it was the been-there-done-that feel to the story which really let me down, and the frequently dire dialogue. September 12, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

Does the thought of nearly mountain-sized Transformers wailing away on Godzilla's uglier stepsisters with rocket punches and wrist swords excite you or do you have no idea what most of the words in the first half of this question mean? August 27, 2019 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…
