FIRST TIME WATCHING *Pacific Rim*

Pacific Rim is honestly a hidden gem that I'm glad I saw in cinema. I'm just glad there wasn't a sequel where it totally didn't stray from the first one 👀

[@gazzamanazza4pm]

I once saw the suggestion that the reason they try not to use cutting or piercing weapons like the sword or plasma cannons unless they have to, preferring instead to bludgeon and punch the kaiju is because the opening montage reveals that their blood is highly toxic and polluting so they want to avoid spilling it if they can kill them without doing so.

[@orhandalegend]

and the plasma cannon cautarized most of the blood

[@gazzamanazza4pm]

Fair point, you'd think that the plasma cannon would have more of a cauterising effect, but from the looks of things in the film it still seems to splatter a fair bit of the blood around. That's probably why it's the weapon they usually go for second if bludgeoning doesn't work.

[@eternyti]

also since there are obviously people who scavenge and sell parts of the Kaiju after its been killed, leaving as much of it intact as possible is probably part of the agreement between the government / Jaeger program and the black market.

[@LuminusPrimeXL]

You are absolutely right. The Precursors made the Kaiju to kill as many humans as possible and purposefully made their blood toxic to kill many humans even after the Kaiju dies.

[@Anime_Fuwatti]

(haven't watched the full movie yet please forgive me) Do they have ways to cauterize the blood? Maybe the knife on Gipsy's arm heats up or something?

[@rebeccawhite2155]

Some of my favorite things about this movie are all after Newt drifts with the original kaiju brain. Prior, all of the monsters looked like sea creatures because that was their window into our world. After the drift, they start to look like land animals; gorilla, bat, lizard, etc. because of Newt's knowledge of the rest of the world. Something I had never noticed until someone pointed it out on another reaction is Newt also inadvertently gave them creators info on how to beat the operational robots. That why the three got beaten so quickly and why GD was so affective. It had been decommissioned so Newt didn't know how it works.

[@michellepuzon8282]

I never noticed that and I watched both movies almost 20 times thx for the info

[@kuivia]

That's actually really cool info

[@ciaranconlon84]

I just assumed that the Kaiju were engineered based on the experience of the last one defeated and the three were used so much that it was only a matter of time until Kaiju would come who could beat them, whereas they didn't need to worry about beating GD for quite some time so it wasn't accounted for with those two Kaiju.

[@rebeccawhite2155]

Yeah, exactly! After Newt drifts, the Kaiju suddenly start targetting pilot chambers and power systems. Presumably the makers weren't aware that the Jaegers were mechanical, as their technology is biological.

[@ryantyanmyan2528]

Cherno Alpha, Crimson Typhoon and Striker Eureka didn't lose because their pilots suck, but because the kaijus were designed specifically to take the three of them down. Otachi could use her acid to melt through Cherno's heavy armour while her tail was designed to crush Crimson Typhoon's head. Leatherback's EMP could power them all down as well as it's brute strength being able to rip through them. They both can also climb over the Kaiju wall since Leatherback can climb and Otachi can fly.

[@frankpurvis9189]

I saw in a comment on another video that they only knew the weakness of cherno, crimson, and striker because scientist dude drifted with them and because they are a hive mind they learned what he knew about them. The reason they didn't know how to fight Gypsy Danger is because it was just rebuilt and he didn't have time to learn much about it.

[@tararocksong5085]

[@ExInfamous]

Pretty sure, as stated above, that Otachi's tail was to provide a 3rd appendage to keep all of Crimson Typhoons arms from moving. Leatherback is also a much heavier and bulkier Kaiju who likely would have been able to go toe to toe with Cherno Alphas rock em sock em fighting style and crushed Crimson Typhoon who is considerably lighter than other Jaegers (lighter frame, less armor.)

[@antimatterexplodes4014]

This should have been a silly monster VS robots movie, but you can absolutely tell that Guillermo do Torro is in love with kaiju movies. The creature design of each kaiju is amazing, and the subtle cultural nods in the Jaeger designs are brilliant. I would recommend watching it again on your own, because believe it or not, there's a lot of subtext and subtlety that you miss on the first viewing. Great review, as always

[@MercenaryPen]

my understanding is that del Toro did this as much as an homage to Japanese mecha anime as to kaiju movies, and this serves as a worthy homage to both. This is as much inspired by Gundam as by Godzilla/Gojira

[@viper56tl36]

That opening death was a lot more significant than I think you knew when you watched this. When the jaegers arm is torn off both pilots feel it, when his shoulder is being chewed apart he feels it, when his brother dies he feels his pain, his fear and then nothing as his life ends. I would choose almost anything over that feeling “surely they have research on kaiju weak spots” they said like 20 minutes ago in the film that every kaiju is different Also the radiation isn’t from the kaijus, it’s from the older jaegers that are nuclear powered

[@dantefromdevilmaycry9857]

This. It had Newt’s knowledge of how the Jager operated and that the emp would be able to shut it down from when he drifted with them. However, like Newt the Kaiju only had fragments of his memories so it was staying to watch in case the emp was only temporary and it came back online.

[@bigthecat4276]

I say this without a shred of irony. This is actually one of the best films of the last decade. The amount of passion that went into this is something you could only get from Del Toro. This is a movie made with the most sincere intentions in mind, and it shows. The physical weight of the fight scenes, the variety in the simple, yet effective Jaeger designs, and the gorgeous cinematography, combined with the kickass soundtrack and well crafted inspirations from Kaiju and Mech properties from decades past all make for an experience I wish we had more of today. I honestly don't think the script or acting is all that bad either. I just think that people will bandwagon and not actually analyze what they're criticizing sometimes in order to fit in. Not saying every scene flows as smooth as butter. No way. But it's got some really well done scenes in there that don't involve "big robot punch big monster" and are delivered way better than a majority of shit Marvel can churn out in order to get a quick dopamine rush from an audience who will forget they just saw in like, a day. I'm noticing a lot more people actually give this film the credit it deserves nowadays. Just a shame it took em a decade to notice, which, in that time, prompted the studio to puke out an atrocious sequel that was spiteful towards the first film in every way, in order to appeal to "muh wider audience"

[@shugo2931]

Since Newton drifted with the kaiju brain, the 2 kaijus who attacked knew how to counter Striker Eureka, Crimson Typhoon and Cherno Alpha, which is why they went down too easily, but they didnt know Gypsy danger was going to deploy so the kaijus didnt prepare a counter for them

[@ChronosTachyon]

A lot of people call this film dumb, but it's far from dumb. It's just more interested in the emotions and the connections between the characters than it is about scientific accuracy. I once read a blog post where someone gushed about the Russian couple, even though they don't get a single line of dialogue, because this movie is focused on the visual experience and the Russian couple does some great body language acting.

Jaegars primarily use plasma cannons because they injure the Kaiju and cauterize the wound in one blow, prevent them from spilling any of their highly toxic blood. They only pulled out the chain sword in orbit when the blood wouldn't hurt anyone as it would burn on reentry, and in the final fight when the stakes were too high to care about pollution of all things.

For reference, Slattern (the category 5 kaiju) is about 600ft tall and nearly 7,000 tons or about fourteen million pounds. That's more than double the size and weight of Leatherback, the gorilla looking kaiju with the EMP. Its hard to get a good read on Slatterns true size due to the darkness and the general zoomed in nature of the camera shots towards the end.

[@ezraabbadon5082]

I really enjoyed it. The movie is a big fun homage to Japanese kaiju movies, and has a good bit of world building. Though sadly, I will associate the movie with my time working in a movie theater as an usher. After one showing of Pacific Rim on a characteristically slow Sunday morning, I went in to clean the auditorium to find that some spiteful moviegoer had purposely poured their entire large beverage across the front row's floor, which is a pain in the ass to clean up. This person also went into the bathroom and filled one of the sinks with popcorn. And since the faucets were motion-activated, there was no way to clean it up without ending up with handfuls of wet, mushy popcorn. Really, this person was such a douche. Doing stuff like that doesn't mess with the executives or managers whom you may have a gripe with. They aren't the ones who have to clean it up. It just pisses off the ones who do - the poorly paid minimum wage part-timers who are just trying to get through their shift without dealing with people's misdirected grief and disgusting habits.

[@endamcgrath5394]

When Nute drifted with the kaiju he could see their memories but it sets up a connection both ways which means they could also see his memories so they were able to use what Nute had seen to make kaijus that were able to beat the jaegers. Thats why one of them had an emp, all the jaegers Nute knew about were digital. Thats also why they werent able to beat Gipsy Danger Nute had never seen Gipsy Danger fight before he didnt know its capabilities. Nute was being hunted because he had knowledge that could pretty much be the difference between being able to kill them and not. Jaeger pilots can feel the pain of the jaeger, they wouldnt be able to get the feedback they would need to fight as well as they do. Also Raleigh did die after the movie, they were both diagnosed with cancer after going to the other world, Raleigh died from it and mako pulled through.

Nope, have you ever watched Green street hooligans with Charlie? He was very young, it was way before SoA and he walkes just like that in it too. The thing is the 3 characters (Pete, Jax and Raleigh) are cocky as hell, so this is just how Charlie walks when he plays cocky characters, he does it in King Arthur too bc Arthur is basically a medieval gangster in this movie. I suspect he walks a little bit like this IRL too. You can see him walking in a more "normal" way when the character is not written as cocky, like in Nicholas Nickleby, The lost city of Z, Papillon, The Crimson peak, even in The Gentleman where he plays a gangster, but as the title says, the characters of this movies are not the typical Guy Ritchie cocky gangster like in King Arthur.

The two that the team face after Newton drifted with the Kaiju the first time were basically constructed from his knowledge of both Earth animals (hence the Gorilla looking one) and what the Jaegers' weaknesses were (the EMP and the acid). The drift goes both ways :P The Jaeger that Stacker piloted was called Coyote Tango, and the strain of piloting it solo after his co-pilot was killed, along with the radiation from the damaged reactor are what caused his condition. He knows that if he goes with Hansen in Striker Eureka with the bomb, he's a dead man anyways, so why not go out saving the planet? :P

[@ViruszPlayz.5822]

The main reason that they don’t use their weapons is because remember kiju blood was designed to be as toxic as possible, so they use punches to try and spill as least blood as possible.

They didn’t use the sword because they didn’t want to get the blood everywhere and the plasma cannon and missles cauterized the wounds also since it was newer Raleigh didn’t know there was a sword because Gipsy didn’t have one before

To be fair, they did kind of explain it in the beginning- the kaijus' blood is toxic so methods of fighting them that don't cause them to bleed as much are preferred. A big sword will cause a lot of bleeding, pummeling them to death presumably causes less bleeding.

As you’ve no doubt seen other comments about, the “sequel” is not worth watching (imo), but that’s a decision for you to decide. It’s one of those sequels the franchise fanbase pretty much disowned as soon as came out, akin to Star Wars and The Last Jedi/Rise of Skywalker.

[@Drake844221]

I honestly love this movie. As you talk about here, you get exactly what it says on the box. Mostly, at least. I mean, it is _more_ than a simple action movie, there's the whole interpersonal relationships thing which really does so much to actually give the action meaning. These people are, in very many ways, there to be getting you to root for humanity. Yes, there are jerks, and the emotions run very hot, but at the end of it all, it is all just... you get where they are coming from, and it does let you see that even the right assholes among the group are capable of dignity and nobility. Like, even that Aussie isn't a jerk because it's just who he is. Yeah, he's got an ego and daddy issues, but he's fundamentally there to try to help save the world, and in the end, he makes the sacrifice play along with Striker. No hesitation, no trying to wimp out of it. He aggravates you because he's aligned "against" the person we feel is the "true hero," but it isn't a story about singular heroes. It's a movie that says "look, unless we all work together, we're doomed, so let's take a step back and do what we have to in order to survive." As for the sequel... it isn't awful. It is interesting. But it is weird, and it isn't on the same wavelength as the first movie. It does some interesting things, and I'm not upset with it, it just isn't one that I really have a desire to watch for a second time in a hurry. I'd say it'd be reasonable for you to watch it, just don't expect what this one gave you XD There's also an animated series that they made on Netflix, called Pacific Rim The Black. What I've seen of it isn't bad, I've just not had the focus to really finish it up. That one you might need to see Uprising in order to understand, but I'm not 100% sure.

[@ToaArcan]

This movie has an amazing attention to detail. There was an art book that came out alongside it called _Man, Machines, and Monsters_ that I highly recommend if you can find, because it goes into all the background information and how they styled each of the mechs and monsters. The reason they don't deploy the sword earlier, and focus on blunt-force trauma through punches and throws, is something explained earlier in the film: Kaiju blood is highly toxic, and so Jaegers are designed to cause _internal_ damage without breaking the skin. Cutting weapons and projectiles are usually only used as finishing moves, in order to minimise the spread of blood. Hence, Mako doesn't deploy Danger's sword until they're out of the city. The one major exception to this is Striker Eureka's sting blades, which are superheated and instantly cauterise wounds. Striker is in many ways the pinnacle of what the humans achieve in this film. We're introduced to Jaegers through Danger, and she's slow and heavy, moving about as quickly as something that huge _could_ go. But then we're immediately introduced to Striker and she's _lightning-fast,_ beating Mutavore to death in seconds. Her chestplate is even designed to resemble a Bugatti Veyron, which was the fastest production car in the world at the time of the movie's release. And during the finale, Striker actually has Slattern beat in single combat, despite taking a hefty first blow. It's only when Slattern calls for Scunner's help that Stacker and Chuck have to make the sacrifice play. Danger's plasma caster also charges faster in her fight with Leatherback than it did against Knifehead because she got upgraded. Also, the reason Crimson Typhoon and Cherno Alpha die so quickly is that the Precursors got a view inside Newt's head. They knew the capabilities of the three active Jaegers, and were able to create Leatherback and Otachi specifically to fight them. Otachi's armour-melting acid spit and third arm on its tail were designed to melt through Cherno's heavy armour and counter Typhoon's three arms respectively, while Leatherback's EMP was there to disable Striker and Typhoon's electrical systems. In turn, Danger was the wild card. She was a Mark III, and thus still ran on nuclear power, and was better shielded. Coming in after the Kaiju had already deployed most of their secret weapons also gave Raleigh and Mako a knowledge advantage. Raleigh and Stacker are the only two pilots to ever run a Jaeger solo. Stacker's copilot, Tamsin Sevier, blacked out during the battle with Onibaba, forcing Stacker to finish the operation solo. Also, Stacker's cancer wasn't caused by the Kaiju, but by his own Jaeger. Coyote Tango is only shown in glimpses in the movie, taking down Onibaba in Mako's flashback. She's another Mark I, like Cherno, but she had much worse radiation shielding. Coyote's reactor was located in her chest, like Danger's, and the lack of shielding would prove fatal to both pilots. The Mark Is (which included Coyote, Cherno, Horizon Brave, Tacit Ronin, Romeo Blue, and the prototype, Brawler Yukon) were mostly rush-jobs, thrown together in a matter of months. Cherno was the only one still in operation, and the only one to not kill his pilots, because his reactor was located in the giant tower atop his shoulders, and heavily shielded. However, this had design flaws of its own: Cherno's conn-pod was located in his chest, and didn't have an ejection system because of this. Cherno was very much a "Win or die" machine, which most others were not. Also, there _is_ a sequel, but it's a lot worse. Very few of the people that made this one were involved, and most fans will insist that the only worthwhile things from it were the Jaeger and Kaiju designs. AFAIK the animated series, Pacific Rim: The Black, is better, but I haven't seen it yet.

i loved this movie! it's giant robots punching giant monsters - they don't push too hard on backing that up with hard logic, but the logic they do follow is at least fun. they actually had lots of fun worldbuilding and lore behind it! 1) drift compatibility can be between anyone who can feel some sort of sync with others - parents and their kids, married couples, siblings, friends who can vibe well, athletic rivals (one i saw from the screenwriter was 2 south korean girls who were fencing rivals IIRC), other tests for compatibility would also include something like chess. 2 people in any sort of competition who'd be at a constant draw thanks to being able to inherently predict one another's intent would be a demonstration of compatibility. 2) when drifting, you become aware of the other person's thoughts. their memories are definitely present to you - yes, even the weird ones. acknowledging those are there and not being judgemental is part of that drift compatibility. sometimes they have residual drifting. 3) this is much more inspired by japanese mecha anime and kaiju films rather than transformers. 4) the kaiju were designed with the intent of being like kaiju like godzilla - like if they were to make practical suits, they would be able to fit humans inside. 5) personal opinion, but for me and the other fans i know, the concensus was that mako and raleigh were platonic - i read the novelization, and they kissed, and it was very awkward and forced lmao, but that might've just been the writing of the novelization. so no judgement for you sticking with the bit, but you shipping them together made me wince lmao. 6) as inferred in the film, the jaegers went under a progression in development of how they were fueled - nuclear (without protections against radiation), mechanical (gypsy danger), and then electric (striker eureka) 7) raleigh and his brother didn't have any formal fight training - bar brawls and parking lot fights were their brand of punching before becoming pilots - hence their unconventional fighting tactics 8) the sequel was sent into development hell between studio exec squabbling, but the writer did have a lot promised, sadly. while i still dig john boyega, pacific rim uprising wasn't great, and did miss the point on details that made pacific rim so fun. but the animated series, pacific rim: the black, i did hear good things about. 9) yeah, there'd be many more choppers needed to lift the kaiju in the air. and fighting in the water would realistically be slower too. lots of rule of cool applies for this film lol. 10) part of the thing about the kaiju is that every iteration of kaiju was made to assess the jaegers available, and the kaiju were custom-built to take down each of them - a claw to grab and smash the chinese jaeger's tiny head (likewise gypsy danger was assumed dead, and the intended weak point was also the head); the russian jaeger had a false head on top with its nuclear reactor head, and the acid was meant to melt everything down for it. the aussie jaeger was electric, so EMP. the wrench that humanity threw in was recovering gypsy danger and repairing it, on top of adding the sword (mako's touch, her family made samurai swords, meanwhile she became a mechanical engineer to help the jaeger project). 11) reason for the sword was supposedly the risk of spraying the kaiju blood everywhere (though to be fair, i'd think cutting one up in the air wouldn't be the best) 12) to reiterate, pentecost's cancer was radiation from the first jaegers being nuclear powered, not the kaiju. many, if not most of the jaeger pilots died fighting kaiju (hence so many dying from kaiju custom-built to defeat them)

fun fact: Pacific rim and the monsterverse were supposed to have a crossover but was later scrapped sadly

Hey seb, I think you would die laughing watching some comedy movies like -This is the End -Pineapple Express -The Interview -The Campaign -The Watch If you havnt seen the already!

[@Fomishin]

Want to say about lose of this two jaegers (Crimson Typhoon and Cherno Alpha). That two kaijus were made specially to counter all three jaegers (expect Gipsy). They knew about their weakness because of that scientist who went to drift with brain. That a reason why they “sucked”

[@CHUCKLENUTS323]

this is my second favourite film its so cool and the action is amazing and the not action parts are still intresting and dont bore me with a simple but fun story i love this film keep up the good work seb

[@aychelleff]

Charlie Day is so fun in this! He looks wild with sleeves lmao

[@alistaircraig7849]

In terms of the flare hurting the kaiju, imagine a red hot ember from a cigarette landed in your eyeball, uncomfortable.

[@ozzycoco6926]

movie "just like old times" SebScreen "except i dont have my brother, itll never be like old times" had me cracked up haha

[@AaliyaArmour]

Seb when he sees Knifehead: "It's like a big sea frog." 😂😂😂😂

[@danielmauriciovargaspalome3151]

there's a really interesting and fun theory that comes from the fact that the Kaiju creators cloned the Kanjis based on information they got from "the other side" to be more effective with each new clone. By having the two way link with the Kaiju brain, the scientist (forgot his name) was able to know a bit more about Kaiju and their origin, but that also applies to the Kaiju learning what he knew, and being that he was a high ranking workers in the Kaiju factory, he knew quite a lot about the new Kaiju. That's why the 2 Kaiju that appeared on China's coast destroyed the 3 Jeagers easily, cause they were designed to counter those Jeagers specifically. On the other hand Gispy Danger was out of use for many years, so probably the scientist didn't know much about it, only that it didn't work, so the Kaiju creators didn't plan for him.

I loved the theme music so much I play it occasionally for motivation music. (Trust me, add a little avengers music to your shower and you will leave for your day ready to go)

19:06 he sounded so Australian when is said ✨come on✨

You even feel how heavy the punches are and then came the sequel..

[@DEUSV.Q]

When he's said there go five billion down the drain he wasn't lying

[@sike3000]

The point of the stick fighting was to see if they could anticipate each others move and fight together/draw

[@MrQuantitySquare]

That one Kaiju with the acid thing, wings, claw tail, etc. was my favorite... idk why, HAHAHAHA

[@JayStephens8]

As a big fan of kaiju movies I love this movie, the 2nd one not so much, and the animated Netflix spin-off series pacific rim the black is pretty good

[@V.E.D.Gaming]

4:18, that's not music that's Gypsy dangerous foghorn or warhorn

[@epicsshadesmaster-animatio4398]

I actually was shocked that I didn’t hear about it much , one of the more awesome pieces I’ve seen

[@darkhclme]

for some reason this is one of my favourite movies ever LOL

[@danko8983]

2:48, he's not destroying it because it is curious about how it isn't moving, because after Newton drifted with the brain the precursors knew that they were machines, before that the thought they were just giants that co existed with humans, but now Leatherback is like "ohhh so those little humans are controlling it, but how???"

[@ughidunno2495]

HELL YEAHHHH this is one of my fav movies and soundtracks so I can't wait to watch u watch it 🤣

[@biswojyoti1]

idris absolutely killed it in that role

[@NathanDrakeTheGreat]

There's an art to movies that give you exactly what you want and nothing more... Pacific Rim is one of those movies. Gets right to the point, giant mechs fighting giant monsters... It executes that perfectly. Del Toro understood the assignment.

[@nirajdang2257]

The first Pacific rim movie: *very entertaining movie with giant monsters and robots* The sequel: Pls help me I'm dying

[@cardescomedioses3674]

29:39 netflix actually did an anime about it that explores a bit the drift or connection between jaegers, it's a bit of a mix bag but i enjoyed it

[@shirasade]

Honestly, I love this movie - you can tell that del Toro adored making it and had a blast, every detail is thought out. I personally really like that Raleigh and Mako didn't "smash" - there's so few male/female friendships in media. The second one, though... Total cash grab, neither del Toro nor Charlie Hunnam are back and the characters that do return get shafted.

[@hugoisaacmartinez]

Pacific Rimjob is awesome. Sequel not that much but I still liked the kaiju and jaeger designs

[@mysteriousnobody2903]

I just realized why they are such a good match. It is thier trauma that makes it work so well.

Sword is a last option because it causes more kaiju blood spillage which is toxic so they use blunt force to minimize it
