PACIFIC RIM | Kaijus & Jaegers at World’s End | EXPLORED

[@thememeguy2195]

The Pacific Rim was a masterpiece in the Kaiju genre made by a man who grew up watching the classics and his passion clearly showed, Uprising was made by some business executives who probably couldn't tell the difference between Godzilla and Gamera.

[@Godzilla-tu2cd]

[@hikariatearu4028]

Guillermo MADE the story of Pacific Rim uprising ( but revised a couple of times ) But the film had a new Director( who at that time was making his debut; as theh say ) Though Guillermo was involved in the film, but as a assistant producer Really what matters here is : " What Went Wrong "

There were setbacks at first. The neural load proved too much for a single person. The two-pilot system was implemented. Left hamisphere, right hamisphere. We started winning, Jaegers taking out Kaijus everywhere. But the Jaegers were only as good as the pilots. So Jaeger pilots became rockstars. Danger turned into propaganda. Kaijus into toys. We were really good at it, winning. Then, it all changed.

We were gonna call it the Zord Program, but some guys in spandex showed up and threatened to sue... Then we tried to call it the Evangelion Program, but some guys from Japan also threatened to sue...

This is how CGI is done. The monsters and robots feel real and have weight. Sadly the second one fails short of it.

[@kcmkage4991]

Yeah uprising was such a downgrade it might be the future but the jaegers still looks fake

[@lordshadow3822]

@@kcmkage4991 right, I totally agree. Watching the second one the jaegers looked fake and had no weight behind them + the camera angle were all wrong (helps sells the scale and gravitas of the jaegers and the kaiju)

[@jaan08011]

Lord Shadow can’t stress that enough!!! Just by the trailer itself I thought it was more like a video game with all those sweeping camera angles going around too fast. It no longer had the gargantuan feeling from the first one. And don’t get me started with the teen pilots. Like how hard was it to cast older, more experienced pilots instead? It would have added both a sense of maturity and intensity during the battle scenes which those kids definitely lacked. We waited 5 years for such a disappointment..

[@JRH6271]

The jaegers were purposefully made to be faster and lighter in the sequel. A Mark V, a bunch of Mark VIs, and a Mark VII should look and feel more advanced than any of the original jaegers, especially the Mark I and Mark III. 10 years of R&D and not being on the tail end of nearly lost war made the jaegers better.

[@lordshadow3822]

@@JRH6271 even so, they looked fake whereas the first one looks real. It isn't enough to have stunning CGI, you have sell it. As stated above camera angle matters. Also you have to think physics, if this was real does it obey the laws of physics + having to keep it within reality.

[@ukotoa1639]

I think Pacific Rim is interesting and “realistic” take on if giant monsters showed up, not in the sense that we’d have giant robots, more in the sense we’d be on our own, unlike in the Godzilla, Gamera or even Ultraman movies we wouldn’t have a good monster to give us backup.

Why was the second Pacific rim so underwhelming? 0:20 shows it perfectly, you can FEEL the weight behind that punch and the slow heavy nature of the jeagers but the second film they're flying around all over the place with none of this sense of scale and weight, completely ruins the nature of the jeagers as these huge hulking metal machines, at least to me.

[@Kerysum]

Yeah I seen the 2nd one in theatre. The plot was boring asf. Their was no character development. So when that one guy died. Nobody gave af. It felt like power rangers who met Tony Stark. The last fight in the snow was amazing tho. Rest of the movie was so disappointing. I’m still going to watch the next film if they make one. I love the concept and I have faith that they can nail it everytime if they stick to their roots.

[@gunswinger3110]

You can tell the first movie is a true love letter to giant mechs fighting giant monsters, second movie was made to cash in on the first hence the sequel looking like a power rangers knock off

[@furionmax7824]

The second one was trying too hard to work with anime tropes and cliches. Kids instead of experienced soldiers. They destroyed everything in that final fight when they're priority is supposed to be keeping damage at a minimum if possible. The jeagers in the second one had no weight to them and they were too agile for their size. But most importantly. The sequel itself was never supposed to happen. The first movie wrapped everything up by the end of it all. Now a prequel would've been a much better idea.

[@TeKnoVKNG23]

Yeah the 2nd one was too much like a Bayformers film, the first one had the visceral feeling behind it, you felt the punches, the way the jaegers worked like massive industrial machines, etc. Del Toro created a masterpiece and it was a shame the other film tried to ruin it.

[@NekhiaTaylor]

@@gunswinger3110 That's what Universal seem to do an awful lot the 2nd one was all them Legendary and Del Toro had nothing to do with it...Universal have bad habit of Taking something some did that's successful and try to piggy back and milk the Hell out of it. Case in point the never ending fast furious series. First was was dope concept but as the continue to milk it became more and more ridiculous.

Pacific Rim: Uprising? Never heard of it

[@ethibodeaux7]

Plot was stupid asf and the characters and people say the robots don’t feel big anymore which is what they was going for if they bought the movie and went to extras they said they wanted to keep evolving the jaegers so they went from the tank feel to the jet feel and as you see they are much more agile

[@ethibodeaux7]

Reminds me of the megazord from power rangers ninja storm where it went from bulky to slimmer and faster, also notice the mark 4 here was the earliest of its predecessors so obvious 10 years later they were gonna to be much faster jaegers

[@rogueascendant6611]

Pacific Rim is truly the best realistic robot-monster movie I've ever seen in my life. None can compared to the aesthetic design, adamant real world makeup and the breathtaking fluid action the Jaegers pulled off when combating against the Kaiju. I really thought back then that a sequel to this should be promising with the advent of advanced computerized effects. But in the end, it was so disappointing. More so not only that kind of word but have highlights of being grossed over the themes like using teenagers that barely appointed as combatants as the new generation of Jaegers but also publishing the acts in cordial nationalism, ridiculous Mary Sue plot armor and useless degenerative output of how gigantic robots moved. Its like watching a generative design truly made to enticed only younger audiences than the whole community. This blockbuster is a great loss to the mecha genre that many appreciated. The sequel is really nothing but a waste of money, disgusting mentality from the executives and lackluster theme developed over narcissistic oversight in society.

[@CandySphynx]

Two of the things I liked best about this film (which is... my favourite so, I loved everything really) are: 1. The success with which Del Toro showed us the scale of the monsters and robots, and the "readability" of the fight scenes. You can not only understand perfectly what is going on, but you actually grasp how menacing and gigantic the Kaiju are, and it's... rare, to say the least, in modern cinema. It's SO enjoyable and exciting too! 2. The sheer honesty in the emotions displayed. It's supposed to be a fun movie, sure. But it's so much more. The relationship between Chuck, his father and Max is moving, the trust with which Raleigh dives into his friendship with Mako despite his grief, Hermann and Newt finally understanding each other after their drift (always loved how they fought, interrupted each other and didn't listen to one another, but right after the drift, they finish each other's sentences and just... get along). There is so much to say about the greatness of this movie, and I'm so happy Del Toro was able to make it despite the irony and cynicism being so prevalent in super productions lately.
