Pacific Rim: A New Kind Of Summer Blockbuster
What Pacific Rim tries to accomplish—an old-school Japanese-style action movie with a hint of depth—it mostly succeeds in. It is, of course, very over-the-top, but not unconsciously so.
Between silly minion dialect and “sheepbutt” jokes, you’ll find Alien references (chicken popping out of Gru’s chest), pole-dancing minions, ditsy, goofy romance and subtle Eminem praise. For not usually taking much interest in children’s movies, I definitely had a smile plastered to my face the entire time.
