When legions of
monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began
that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on
end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive
robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose
minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless
in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces
defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes-a washed up
former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)-who are
teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past.
Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.
My prediction is that this movie is going to do very well
this weekend, I’m going to guess that it will surpass the predicted 40 million
mark and do 60 – 70 million. I attended
the 2D version and it was sold out which leads me to believe the 3D showings are
going to do very well. Could someone
please help me figure out why everyone in the theater brought children? And when I say children I mean I saw a little
boy about 4 years old!! I guess it’s all up to the parents so what can I do;
besides criticize the judgment of parents.
This is another in a long list of popcorn movies for the summer and it
delivers big time. Honestly as I watched
this movie I was hoping that one day these sea creatures would attack us so I
could join the military and pilot one of these machines. To me this was Jason Statham in a giant robot
suit kicking ass all over the world. You
will not be disappointed by this movie; it’s fun, fast, and highly entertaining. If your not paying attention you forget that
the Raleigh Becket character is played by Charlie Hunnam from Sons of
Anarchy. He’s not scruffy or wearing
leather so it’s hard to recognize him.
Idris Elba plays another take no shit tough ass character, along with
Charlie Day and Ron Perlman who both bring a little humor to the show, and
Clifton Collins Jr. giving an as usual solid performance. It’s easy to say that this movie is an
updated version of Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots, or at least I did anyway.
Enjoy the show. 5 out
of 5 Jaegers.
