Pacific Rim: Uprising: #TakeMeToYourDealer

Let’s get this out of the way: This sequal to Pacific Rim was always going to be terrible without Guillermo del Toro more involved. So, of course I went in with the lowest expectations. Child actor heavy cast as well? O god…and yet…it wasn’t that bad! The action scenes were well choreographed, creative even. The dialog and acting were terrible, of course, with Boyega’s accent coming in and out throughout the movie, but the plot itself…again, wasn’t that bad! Maybe it’s just that my expectations were set so low, but I still hold out hope for this francise. It’s set up well for a 3rd movie now, and I’ve always said that the truly great movie for this story will be the prequel to the first movie.

Can I recommend it? Kind of. I’ve seen worse, and if you’re looking for a Friday night movie after a long week at work, that’s easy enough to follow and has as much eye candy as any Fast and The Furious, give it a go.
