Long ago, legions of monstrous creatures called Kaiju arose from the sea, bringing with them all-consuming war. To fight the Kaiju, mankind developed giant robots called Jaegers, designed to be piloted by two humans locked together in a neural bridge. However, even the Jaegers are not enough to defeat the Kaiju, and humanity is on the verge of defeat. Mankind's last hope now lies with a washed-up ex-pilot, an untested trainee and an old, obsolete Jaeger.

Critics Consensus

It may sport more style than substance, but Pacific Rim is a solid modern creature feature bolstered by fantastical imagery and an irresistible sense of fun.

Del Toro is a dreamer. He's a visionary. If you give him a pile of money to make enormous robots fight enormous monsters at the end of civilization, he will work to make Pacific Rim a movie that makes you feel all the enormousness.

Independent (UK)

Pacific Rim is a special-effects behemoth, a toy franchise with a deafeningly loud movie attached -- Transformers with an A-level.

Rated: 1/5

Sydney Morning Herald

In essence, Pacific Rim features a series of Godzilla monsters battle an ever dwindling number of Transformers, layered over the plot from Independence Day, only dumber.

Rated: 2.5/5

The plot and visuals of Pacific Rim manage to coexist, giving the film an extra level of depth, one that we don’t often see in blockbuster films.

The Wolfman Cometh

Proves that Guillermo del Toro is a master of many genres, as he accomplishes with this film things that countless other big-budget spectacles attempt to pull off. Pure delight from start to finish, channeling the best that kaiju movies have to offer.

Rated: 5/5

Del Toro delivers a visual feast without falling into the ‘style over substance’ trap. Plenty of eye candy and thrilling action, but not devoid of emotion, what’s not to like?

Rated: 4.5/5

I love the weight of the jaegers & kaijus. It feels so realistic. Overall, the plot is very well done and the action is awesome. I just wish there was a bit more action, but overall, peak fiction. Would recommend to any one who is a fan of Transformers, Godzilla and anime.
