In the Pacific Rim history, August 10 is known as K-Day, the day the Kaiju first came and changed the world forever. Remember this somber day with the introduction scene to Pacific Rim.
@@loner2025 no MonsterVerse is about titans that try to restore the balance in the nature And rival fights While pacific rim universe is about a giant robots vs kaiju that try to take over the world
You might get a kick out of this video showing the world from the Black Mesa Incident to the 7-Hour War: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5qmWvsxHuEk.html Uses some audio clips from speeches made in regards to a big real event that had happened. I won't spoil to which one.
Let's pretend Uprising never happened like it's a non-cannon sequel to a manga. Hope they do a prequel with how the kaijus first showed up, how they lost, build their own jaeger and recruit pilots. Ofc Yancy, Riley and Mako should be there and more importantly, Guillermo del Torro.
@⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ the actual problem is that they replaced not to developed characters with not to developed teens , like the humans where kinda bad in the first movie and they are afwul
@James Smith literally that’s what I hope destroy all monsters is. I hope destroy all monsters is that monsterverse and pacific rim crossover we’ve been waiting for.
If the humans of pacific rim made a funcional and not evil mechagodzilla, they would not need any other mecha or the jagers, that shit its broken as fuck
They couldnt use blades or guns unless necessary due to Kaiju Flu. A very missed point of the movie. Blunt force trauma was the easier solution as oppossd to wiping out whole eco systems and making everyone sick.
God I fucking loved this movie. Sucks that it never ever got a sequel that exists. Man a sequel would be great ya know. If only there was on that existed 😂
For those confused about geography. The “35 miles and 3 cities” include the entire Bay Area. San Francisco, Oakland and Sacramento. Not the Philippines 🙄
@@lalallama171 LOL I think you need to read my post and watch the video again. The 2nd attack was Manilla. Sacramento is 85 miles away from San Fran. Jeez even San Jose is closer than Sacramento.
@@Eric-mw2kc Exactly, people that say things like that are the ones that probably found Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Paprika, Perfect Blue and more, "boring". Sure, if you're used to turning off your brain while watching movies or series, then don't complain about Evangelion when you're used to don't giving a fuck or putting effort to understand the plot.
This is why the first movie was so much better than the sequel. The camerawork makes you feel like a spectator to the action and doesn't just move around undeterred like a Transformer movie.
thats a wildly unfair comparison to Transformers Michael "Motherfuckin Money" Bay is actually trying to do that style for his personal visual....whatever it is he does ....the sequel definitely wasnt 100% sure what it was trying to do
@@Adamdidit its not unfair, its completely true. He never said that was bad about the Transformer movie, just that the camerawork was different and gave a different perspective on the monsters and machines. PR (2013) was more chaos and slow moving destruction/power whereas transformers has more of the classic anime intro and quick movement feel with the robots. which brought him to the exact same conclusion as you in the end. sequel tried to have both and suffered from it.
@@Tarazonatunes I always rate doing something you dont intend lower than doing something you do. Bay is trying to evoke a specific reaction with his work, this film haphazardly went in that direction by accident. It's not about good or bad. It's about whether you're actually accomplishing what you're aiming for.
The amount of world building done in three minutes here is more than what some movies will do in their entire runtime. I really love this movie, too bad Uprising didn't keep to what made this movie great.
First time: Oh they might be just a sea creature coming up from the depth. Second time: Giant monster from sea again? What in marine happened there? Third time: Gosh more giant monster? Hope this will be the last one. Fourth time: Ok it's a planned invasion.
They received multiple emails from the monsters, but because monsters tend to use all caps and exclamation points in their subject lines, it went automatically to our spam folders.
Other movies: tease the monsters throughout the entire movie, give you about twenty or so minutes at the end of actually seeing the monster. Pacific Rim: 45 seconds until the first kaiju.
G2014 is still the best and most realisitic Godzilla/kaiju movie in the existence of cinema *BETTER* than 60 decades of toho. It might only get 1 flaw as less godzilla screen time compared to them and even that worked in it's favour in a way
@@apetogetherstrong4243 Great job speaking for yourself, I guess. I'll take the improbability, cheese and silliness of Showa and Heisei era Godzilla films over 2014 any day. King of the Monsters was a breathtaking return to form. 2014 is still a fun movie tho
@@tannerbarnes7392 guess you do like no story dumb repeated plot no character poor cgi,overused soundtrack man in a suit playing monsters toho over modern sci fi
@@apetogetherstrong4243 excuse me, what? The best actor in the movie dies in the first act, Aaron Taylor Johnson is a plank of wood throughout, Elizabeth Olson and Ken Watanabe are completely wasted. The story isn't great, basically the plot of 1998 Godzilla but with extra Kaiju thrown in, and Godzilla himself is lacking in any of the personality he was known for by fans, or any of the personality he has in the later films of the monsterverse. If I want a good story in a Godzilla film, I'll go watch Shin Godzilla, or the original. Hell, vs. Destoroyah is better in the story department. Godzilla vs Biollante low-key slaps in that area too. Don't confuse a serious tone with a good story. 2014's plot is average monster movie fare, and the series has done better before and since. Edit: Also, overused soundtrack? Have you ever actually listened to an Ifukube score? Are you even a fan of this franchise? You sure don't sound like one.
I like how they added in the end that people eventually made propaganda, memes, and merch out of the kaiju threats, effectively melding them into modern day culture like what happened in World War 2 with several superhero comics and propagandas
I remember watching this movie first day, first show. The energy in the theatre was amazing, the audience really enjoyed the hell out of this movie. I really believe Pacific Rim took everybody by surprise. I have watched all the Marvel movies in theatre with it's crazed fans but till date nothing could match the frenzied atmosphere on the very first screening of Pacific Rim. Atleast, that's my personal experience and for that reason i will always remember this movie.
Good world-building. In 3 minutes, Pacific Rim brought the audience up to speed and kept us invested. Here's hoping for a third movie more in the spirit of the first.
All things considered, 3 cities were destroyed and only 10's of thousands died, out of a population of likely several million. The people in this film got pretty lucky.
You can say that but it's pretty logical that the casualties were low because even if you see in this scene when that kaiju destroyed the golden bridge there was no one on it every one was safely evacuated (well maybe most of them). So the military was tracking it path and they figured it will go through these cities so they evacuated it in advance and as you said the population was in millions. Not all of them was evacuated.(it is also possible them those who died were the soliders who took tried to took him down
I really wonder, when fighter jet pilots in movies stop flying so close to their targets. I can’t bear the stupidity of this writing in every damn action movie.
Because it's a not stupid writing. It's a nod to an old 70s/80s anime trope of sending in fighters to establish how under gunned conventional units were in stopping the bad guy, and yes one or two fighters inevitably got knocked out by a conventional melee attack. Seeing this in Pacific Rim made me grin like a loon because it reminded me of watching the same thing in Getter Robo during the early 90s.
@@levi.s722 Try Shin Godzilla if you wanna see a military that actually acts like a military. They still lose of course, but they actually try and play it smart and don't just toss their soldiers and weapons towards the monster like rocks. There's even constant communication between the army and the government the whole time.
@@levi.s722 Personally I bought a physical copy around when it was released globally. Physical copy includes both dub and original audio with subs. Funimation handled the American release so you can watch it through their streaming service with a subscription. You can also pay to watch it right here on RU-vid (dubbed). VUDU, Google play movies, Amazon Prime, and FandangoNOW, also seem to have it.
I always wished, after I saw this in 2013, that this was a three movie trilogy. With the first movie being about the first, or first few monster attacks, how they stopped at first, what was learned about them, set up the world and story, end with a big fight and win, but the characters understand they need a new way to defeat the monsters. 2nd film would be about the Jagers, how they were built, how they were operated, how they were used ect. and ending with a big and successful fight at the end. And then the last film is this one... the glory days of Jagers are gone, they have to close the portal now, and its the big fight at the end to stop the threat permanently, like what happened in the movie. This opening shows how much more could have been done, it would have been a great scifi trilogy.
I am a Japanese-German descent American. Grown up outside of United States. And my whole life story is a mix of complexity or complications, lies and truth, ups and downs, setbacks and challenges, faith and reality, science and mystery, and I eventually broke. But the universe has something in store for me. And its not over yet for me. There's more, for me.
I would love to see a prequel that took place before Pacific Rim 1, showing how the first Jaegers where constructed, how the first pilots piloted the Jaegers. Also, that Mark 1 Jaeger with a big tusk thing in it's chest rocks!
Onibaba (Mako's) was just small. The categories of Kaijus is based not only in size, but in weight, force, toxicity, apparent intelligence, types of weapons (like the third member of Otachi (tail) that killed Crimson Typhoon like it was nothing) and other things
One of the most criminally underrated movies ever made. Solid story and writing with excellent action and effects. And then they made Uprising. One of the worst sequels ever made.
