Pacific Rim Uprising [Blu-ray]
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
John Boyega (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) stars as the rebellious Jake Pentecost, a once-promising Jaeger pilot whose legendary father gave his life to secure humanity’s victory against the monstrous “Kaiju.” Jake has since abandoned his training only to become caught up in a criminal underworld. But when an even more unstoppable threat is unleashed to tear through our cities and bring the world to its knees, he is given one last chance to live up to his father’s legacy by his estranged sister, Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi)-who is leading a brave new generation of pilots that have grown up in the shadow of war. As they seek justice for the fallen, their only hope is to unite together in a global uprising against the forces of extinction. Jake is joined by gifted rival pilot Lambert (The Fate of the Furious’ Scott Eastwood) and 15-year-old Jaeger hacker Amara (newcomer Cailee Spaeny), as the heroes of the PPDC become the only family he has left. Rising up to become the most powerful defense force to ever walk the earth, they will set course for a spectacular all-new adventure on a towering scale. Pacific Rim Uprising is directed by Steven S. DeKnight (Netflix’s Daredevil, STARZ’s Spartacus) and also stars Jing Tian, Burn Gorman, Adria Arjona and Charlie Day.
If you want to see a noisy, brainless, plotless, spectacle that climaxes with an occasionally rousing downtown donnybrook between three Kaiju and four Jaegers, then come to this. If you don’t, don’t. It’s better than the first film.-Kevin Maher
Pacific Rim Uprising isn’t as good as the first one, but it’s a fun movie that doesn’t take itself too seriously with plenty of giant monsters versus giant robot fun.-Kaitlyn Booth
Despite the fact that most of the secondary characters (namely the cadets) are so poorly developed (hell, I couldn’t make any distinction between them), this decent (yet unnecessary) sequel relies on a solid structure and has enough urgency to hold us on the edge of our seats.-Carlos M
