Pacific Rim Uprising

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

The storyline is too far off from the original and the characters feel underdeveloped. While the visuals are excellent and the acting from the leads (John Boyega and Scott Eastwood) the film left me wanting to the watch the original and put this to the back of dvd pile. The other issue is the score. The original score is powerful and moves seamlessly with the action and storyline. However, the music for Uprising was a pale reflection of the original score. I believe that’s because it is a different composer that tried to imitate it rather than finding their own version for the film. I gave it 3 stars because I enjoy the franchise and hope that of they make more of them, Warner Bros learns from worked in the first film.-Rourke

There was something fun and unique about the first movie that did not get carried through to this grim, Power Ranger-feeling nonsense. What a slog – I felt like the characters in Annihilation, entering the bubble with trepidation, then losing all sense of time and space, and finally fighting against myself to decide whether or not to shut the damn thing off and walk away. Alas, I decided to finish it for some reason. Still can’t forgive myself for that.- Jordan

The writers failed to find the balance between science and fantasy to make this movie believable. Even though the realism of the effects was there, reality was thrown out too many times. The scene where the hero jaeger is re-entering Earth’s atmosphere is a rime example. It’s entire body is glowing hot from the intensity of the temperatures. Yet, the two human pilots who are exposed to this heat from the gaping hole in their piloting bay, are completely fine, instead of being burned up. There are too many more incidents like this to list. Along with the campy dialogue and week antagonist, this is merely a film to watch for the CGI, if that.-Forrest Young
