Movie Review : Pacific Rim
The first time I saw the
trailer for Pacific Rim, I thought that we were going to have another
big-budget, senseless and over-the-top, mind-numbing action Transformers-like movie.
But as it turns out I was fortunately wrong. Instead I got a movie that excited
me like few movies have in recent years. Comparisons of Pacific Rim to
Transformers are bound to take place because both are essentially humanoid mecha
(science fiction genre related to robots and machines) movies. The difference
lies in execution, thoughtfulness, artistic appeal and sheer enthusiasm with
which both the movies were made. Despite having a lower budget than
Transformers 2 and 3 , Pacific Rim's special effects are much better as the CGI
robots look and feel completely real. If a comparison is done on aspects other
than special effects like story, characters and overall appeal of the two
movies, then rest assured Pacific Rim outperforms Transformers by many parsecs
( ;-) ).
