Movie Review #19 - Pacific Rim (2013)
Benny's Apologies: Followers ... Haters .. Lovers ... I want to apologize for missing the past couple of weeks ... Physical Therapy and the lack of motion in my right shoulder has made me ... well ... angry ...
However, I have three movies today for your enjoyment or lack of enjoyment ...
On IMDB: Pacific Rim (2013)
Benny's Tabasco Rating: 3 out of 10 Tabasco Peppers:
Synopsis: Aliens from the deep attack Earth ... In response, Earth unites and builds giant mechanized machines to fight the aliens ... Yawn!
Cast: Um ... No one that I really recognized ... and well ... The only guy I recognized is Clifton Collins Jr. ... I know you are asking, "who?" ... well ... He's been a character actor in a lot of TV and movies ... I think I recognized him from "The Event" .. a short lived NBC sci-fi ... Long story short, it's a bunch of unknowns and really don't cares ... The only person that stood out was Rinko Kukuchi ... A Japanese actress who actually made the story sort of believable ...
Ron Perlman is this ... You might know him from "Hellboy" or "Drive" ... I doubt seriously that anyone in this film will even see a "Golden Globes" nomination for this work ...
Cinematography: What cinematography? The whole thing seemed, if not really, one HUGE green screen with really cool graphics ... But ... The myth that green screen can seem real got really lost in this ... There wasn't a cool shot ... or even, wow, that's believable ... I just didn't like it.
Direction: Guillermo del Toro directs this ... There was so much hype about this film and that he was directing ... I didn't get it ... While I liked his work on "Mimic", I didn't get it ...
Overall Review: I really didn't get it. Have I said it enough? The story seemed to be a rehash of a bad Godzilla movie ... The effects, while "neat" and "groovy", didn't impress me ... I'm glad that I didn't pay full price .... If you are bored and want to see a green screen movie with no chemistry, this one is for you ...
