Pacific Rim: A Movie That Won't Get Old

A decade has passed since the release of pacific rim, and yet we still haven't seen a sequel come out despite it's immediately popularity and positive reception. However, i'm actually quite glad, because there are so many things and details that make the first movie shine which are hard to do for the second one.
Even ten years later it's still one of the best movies to watch when you're bored in 2023. Its a monster movie, science fiction movie, futuristic movie, robot movie, action movie, world ending movie, etc. combined together. I'm sure a terrible sequel to pacific rim would cause an uprising from it's loyal fans. Yes this video is all about the positive things in pacific rim. Have a nice day :)

I really am suprised they didn't make a sequel. But i guess it's better to have a "one and done" rather then tainting the legacy

[@mackybell14]

Yeah, they tried an animated spin-off with "Black", but its rather strange they didn't make another live action entry. Too much respect for the legacy of the franchise I guess.

[@Michaeltheweeb]

The anime was ok. There was clearly a lack of bugged for the animation, but i liked the story.​ I do hope they are going to make a sequel @mackybell14

We didn’t talk about Uprising…..

[@BruhBot-jp8ev]

​@@MichaeltheweebWatching atlas destroyer malfunction every 5 seconds 🗿

[@Seiichiko]

Jks aside there was some good ideas in uprising, it's just that they executed them wrong or just fucked them up entirely. For example November Ajax was good, had good movement and felt heavy like the first movie, obsidian fury was a really good concept and trying to get some Yeager Vs Yeager action with it , The drones being corrupted was a good idea too. I also think the same one was a good idea too (I think the name of it is scraplet) if only it wasn't made from a little girl from scraps. They had good ideas they just fucked it up (as I said before)

[@feelsb4reals_]

Criminally underrated movie. The fact that they couldn’t build on this universe is crazy.

[@rp-lopez]

They did make the show Pacific Rim The Black which is actually quite good in my opinion and a way better addition to the universe than Uprising

[@DoomofOlympus]

@@rp-lopez better edition than what? Never heard of this “uprising”. *You’d do well to remember that*

[@lordmer2592]

I think it was more than underrated. It was ahead of its time! It did make alot of money, sure, but back then, giant monsters weren't big like now, and i was so mad that this movie was beaten in the usa box office by none other than Grown Ups 2! And Pacific Rim released 2 days earlier than grown ups, which made my jaw drop harder back then!

[@rp-lopez]

@@DoomofOlympus you know..."uprising", a movie so forgettable that...wait, what was I talking about?

[@MicahSolosGoku]

​@@rp-lopez I agree because black in my opinion brought back what made jaegers and kaiju special cause when you compare bothe and analyze you see when the pilots move their arms in the cockpit the Jaegers own arm has like a lag response so it moves a a little after the pilots movements because of its size and the pilots actually struggle to move the Jaeger for alittle bit before they get used to being bonded together with a 100ft machine

The Transformers don't zip around either unless they're actually nimble like Bumblebee, Arcee, or Jazz. In the Bayverse, can always feel the weight of Optimus, Megatron, or Sentinel Prime to only name a few. (In G1 though, yeah they do zip around… especially the city-sized Transformers called Titans like Metroplex or Trypticon 😅.)

[@wrath7646]

I think that the Jaegers started dying because the precursors started finding the weakness to each and every Jaeger. That’s why leatherback and otochi beat the other jaegers and not gipsy. And when gipsy entered the anti verse we see them starting to send in knife heads because that’s the Kaiju that destroyed gipsy originally.

[@Thugalicous-qd2sl]

Yeah and cus they’re also A lot bigger kaijus than when jeagers were on killstreaks

[@CatWithAOpinion]

yeah, Newton had accidentally leaked the schematics for Striker Eureka, Cherno Alpha, and Crimson Typhoon when he first drifted with a Kaiju brain, as it's a two-way connection, both parties got information. That's why they knew exactly where to aim for once they fought (Leatherback punching Eureka's connpod, Otachi grabbing & crushing Typhoons, etc)

I still remember the day I watched this movie. Me and my friends were going to watch The wolverine but it was too packed (opening night) so we decided to sneak in Pacific Rim Imax 3d. First time watching in IMAX and it was super loud (no complaints!), I remember the intro set a fearful tone to the Kaijus these giant unbeatable monsters that wrecked havoc. Then they introduced the jaegers and the first opening punch @0:01, holy shit! I was sucked in, 10/10

[@CosmicMan5455]

Mako is the perfect example of a good strong female character, she has flaws, actual emotions, heart, and she doesn’t make the male characters look like fools, she compliments Raleigh’s character seamlessly, and none of it feels forced, but she still can kick ass and be a badass. Like when she went toe-to-toe with Raleigh in the trials, she didn’t just beat him every time effortlessly, they were on even ground but it still showed they had strengths and weaknesses over the other without being too overbearing about it

Pacific Rim seems to be a film that gets better with age. It was met with mostly positively reception back in the day, but I remember a certain air of "but it could have been way better" surrounding it. The fanbase and receptions has only grown stronger since it came out. And it becomes absolutely revelatory once you become a massive kaiju and tokusatsu fan. I was hyped for it back in 2013. I had just started getting Godzilla films and this came right at the crest of my initial love for the big G. But I remember feeling just a bit disappointed in the film at the time for reasons I honestly don't remember. I think, then, I found it too tropey or too corny in the character department. The MCU was hot off the heels of The Avengers. They were the new Top Dog and their brand of character making in blockbuster movies was now the default. So the characters in PR, at the time, felt out dated and old hat. Now they're actually refreshing. I do think Charlie Hunnam is a little miscast here, but not drastically so. He just feels a bit out of step from the rest of the cast. But what makes it work overall is that Raleigh is a very earnest, very sincere character. He's not a snarky quip machine or an anti-hero with an attitude and chip on his shoulder. His tragedy informs his character but doesn't DEFINE his character. He's positive, supportive, level-headed, and good-hearted. That's what struck me most upon my most rewatch watch - Raleigh is just a good boy, lol. With time as and I explored the kaiju and tokusatu genres more deeply, Pacific Rim got better and better. And even separating it from that influence, it's a better film on its own terms than I think people give it credit for. It juggles a lot characters and relationships very well in a tight 2hrs. It manages to convey all kinds of great themes without ever once losing its sense of pace of narrative flow or delving into navel gazing. The theme of human connection - of the duo, the power couple - is all over this film. Friends, brothers, strangers who share a deep connection being a perfect match, a perfect team. While the Kaiju are technically organic creatures, they have no soul. They are cold, singular monsters with no purpose outside of conquest. The Jaeger should be these mechanical monstrosities but they exude personality and humanity because that is what, literally, drives them. Despite the action centering around the humans using giant robots to beat the shit of off giant monsters, the key to human victory is all about the mind - how to understand it, to push it to its limits, to trust in others. And come on, this movie probably has the best kaiju action ever put to film.

I think there is a place for both types of Kaiju movies to be honest.

5:00 I’m not gonna lie I feel like the reason the yaegers started losing was because the kaijus were just getting bigger and bigger, as well as the trial and error of the previous kaijus showing the precursors what worked and what didn’t, so they finely tuned their kaijus over time to be more effective, as well as just plain bigger. Unless I’m mistaken, I feel like you might be reading too far into this one

One of my all-time favorite scenes from this movie is the one at the beach at the beginning of the movie only because it gives you a true sense of scale on how big these Yeagers actually are

I love when my mom calls me to get out of the pool and i gust walk out cherno alpha mode

The only way a sequel would work is if Del Toro agreed to make it. He made Pacific Rim work so damn well, it's only logical he could make a sequel (or prequel) work just as well.

I've been going back to this movie after seeing Godzilla Minus One, as it also has what I liked best about that one- the thought that went into portraying these giant creatures, for the sounds they make, their size, and the way they impact the environment. Besides, it's over all a very well done movie. I first saw it as a rec from a relative, not knowing anything about it, and it's now one of my top 5 fave films of the 2010s.

I love how uprising was completely forgotten off the face of the earth

"watching this as a kid" I feel myself so old now

Another stand out was how the movie was advertised. It actually concealed the meat of the story for once. Previews showed mostly the story that took place in the early minutes of the film and led the audience to believe they would watch a film where humans constantly struggle to finally defeat these titans. The fact humans conquered them in the epilogue and experienced peace made the story post Gypsy’s defeat feel like we were getting an awesome sequel to an otherwise predictable narrative.

The dub at 3:46 had me screaming. Bravo. I haven't laughed this much in a long time.

[@LuqmnzHkmz]

its so addictive man, i've rewatch it for like 30+ times already

[@TheSleepSteward]

It sucks so much that the film just got TANKED for the sequel. I mean they got some parts right but the rest was just... I have no idea how you could fuck up that bad. It's... Astounding. But the anime is pretty good. It just sucks we're probably never gonna see another pacific rim movie... Especially not one executed so unbelievably perfectly. Because even after a decade plus; people still rave about its amazing CGI and VFX to SFX and just everything from the story to the acting. Masterpiece. So good. And it's so cool that they would do it at night; and also had just that horrifying undertone to it; where you were genuinely scared about what was about to happen. Especially in the first fight scene with bro getting his head chomped and then the Jaeger struggling to walk back to shore. Damn incredible. And whilst I'm fanboying; I love that so many people still are so passionate about it.

Guillermo del torro be forever be goated for this

[@akumaten]

Pacific Rim really holds up. I'm glad they never made a sequel.

[@dragonic_ragecore]

I fucking love this movie, Big Mechs go BRRR.... no multi-part BS, no aevngers style series. Just tech, metal, music, sfx and action.

[@stepandanek6138]

To this day I STILL imagine myself as a yeager when I walk in water. I'm 23 years old, and I look way more serious than my brain actually is.

[@Virtua..]

If you watch the making of Pacific rim , the reason why it was so successful was that GDT was so intentional and thoughtful designing every single punch of every fight , the man with the most creative brain choreographed the whole movie , whereas other sfx/animated movies fall flat or have no scope because it's not as thoughtful

the jazzy song playing in the background of this video is Happy Birthday

[@xxnightmarexx_pr6069]

Man I wish we would’ve gotten a sequel, this had so much potential to become an awesome franchise

[@trenched9747]

Holy shit man the visuals in this movie should be a topic alone, especially in the night scenes

[@mittaw]

Just watched it again yesterday. What a movie ❤

[@InYoPie]

It's just occurred to me that Pacific Rim was basically geared towards the generation of children who grew up watching power rangers and various Giant robots vs. monster tv shows a decade or two later.

[@xShadowNinjaEX]

It really doesn't get old. Just watched it multiple times since it just came back to netflix this month. Tbh could never see this movie getting a sequel, so glad it ended here. Perfect ending
