I love how it looks like Gipsy stabilized just to look at the beings who made the Kaijus. Kind of like a "how do you like being stared at by a monster before you're killed?!" kinda deal. I also see it as a "you shouldn't have messed with us" thing too.
*For anyone wondering what Guillermo Del Toro would have done for the sequel: apparently Del Toro wanted to reveal the Aliens to actually be future humans in exo suits. That’s right future humans were the ones sending Kaijus to earth to harvest the earth?*

I think it would have been awesome if they found a way to send Jaigers through the breach and completely wreck the aliens as payback for sending their monsters at us.
+Tickle Man i dont think so. These aliens existed for millions of years, i dont think a nuke will do that much damage. As we could see, the breach security system seemed to be automatic, and not controlled. Maybe they are attacking many many worlds at any given time, as an automated process.
+Gasak Sakti Who says that this was their front? A civilization of conquering aliens like these would be arrogant enough to think that their security would be enough to keep out invaders, and they certainly had no knowledge of what a nuke does.
TheUndyingCrystal this was literally 1 single nuke and it was a civilisation that is literally millions of years old. I don't think that one nuke could cripple them. And what if they have ,more planets available than this single one. The death 5 of 3 priests and a cardinal (how they are called ) and city sized damage to their (way bigger) production thing will certainly not bother them
Can we appreciate the fact that Raleigh saved the world while at the same time fighting for air after giving his oxygen to Mako? Man’s got lungs of pure steel.
I mean.. when you account for galactic, let alone universal time, humans have literally gone from hiding in caves to space travel in a micro-second. Look at the last few decades.. I remember the before the internet days and dial tone phones and I'm barely 35, now we are already knocking at the door of true AI sentient machine learning, which may catapult us truly into the stars or wipe us out entirely. The technological advancements we've done in half a person's lifetime is ludicurs when compared to the lifetime of a star. Maybe for the precursors the human race feels like it just started walking upright yesterday. We should be proud and equally terrified of what the human race has done in the past few hundred years.
Human react to precursor: Thats some weird lookin alien Precursor react to human: Wow the dinosaurs nowadays look much weirder than 250,000,000 B.C. Ago
Well, Automation..... But this was not their fault. The portal was designed to let only Kaiju DNA inside... They surely would have been overconfident that humans wouldn't figure it out. Also, why on earth would a Kaiju come back home? Weren't they more like a Suicide Squad?
@@speen9430 Hiya Spino! These humans have developed some sick ass technology but sadly, I do not understand how most of it works. I think those blades have something to do with the reactor (the reactor has blades too which keep revolving) keeping power stable or something. I would say it was a pretty stupid idea to have it directly under the pilots feet, but then again, what would a dinosaur know about human tech?
2:18 I'd like to think that is the alien's equivalent of eyes widening and mouth hanging open in shock. Poor bastard went through the entire war thinking of Humans as primitive vermin that couldn't ever strike at them. Then a giant nuclear powered one comes flying out of the breach carrying one of their dead superweapons.
1:59 The first time I watched this movie, my dumbass thought that was a giant Kaijus eye. I was waiting for it to move, kinda like Sauron's eye in the LOTR movies lol
@@ekenmkii8697 To be strict, the enemy DID make the bridge in the first place, so unless the final blow somehow killed those who can make the bridge or the blow cause a chain of destruction that somehow blew up the whole dimension/planet, I don't think that's the end of it. The problem is how long does it take to make another bridge?
What's sad is that Del Toro wanted to explore this possibility. I think that Uprising would have been substantially better had they found a way to keep him on as director. Given the resurgence in monster movies, particularly Godzilla, they could definitely have built it into something.
What if this was the same universe with godzilla. But in this timeline the protector of earth, i.e. Godzilla was dead, thus the precursor invaded earth. This would explain the humans, ability to build gigantic robots (as seen on the new GvK film). And the existence of Extra-terrestrial life, such as Ghidora and the precursor
From this scene alone, one can say that they are utilizing a star to power the bridge. Hence, in the kardashev scale, the precursors are more likely to be a type 2 civilization, on its way to type 3 (indicated by them trying to take over other civilizations to monopolise their energy sources most likely).
The only problem with that is that an alien species capable of harnessing the power of a star would have absolutely no interest in Earth. Anything found here can easily be found in abundance in our solar system alone
@@antonironstag5085 the only reason I could think of is the basic premise of colonization. Which is annihilating the existing civilization on the targeted location. Most likely premise was to eliminate the human species as a whole to take full control of the star system.
Then the conn pod won't be able to secure correctly from an internal mechanism and an entirely new mechanism needs to be created, which requires money.
Imagine if his escape pod didnt go perfectly straight up and was blown way off to the side then a sequel of him trying to survive and somehow making contact with hq where they devise a way to send him a jaeger to help him escape where Make stows away on it so they can pilot together.
That would have been absolutely epic, and they could have completely wrecked all of the alien's infrastructure to create the kaiju (if a powerful enough jaeger was deployed), buuuut instead we got the absolute sh1tshow that turned out to be Pacific Rim 2. -_-
Who knew we’d see the precursors again in part 2? But that was damn awesome having gypsy being a walking nuclear reactor instead of being electrical based sealing off the bridge ✌️
Imagine how many years they fix a one robot but a critical damage like *BROKEN ARM* *BROKEN LEGS* *BROKEN BODIES WITH LARGE HOLE* AND MORE Me: its impossibe they are masterpiece
Better question..why is there an automated and manual override for a nuclear reactor in first place? (its not remote activated..that was their problem) Its like a big red button that says "Dont push!" in a nuklear powerplant
Who knows we might have some genre savy engineers in this universe who foresaw this kind of scenario happening. Prior to the kaju apprearing it might have been silly/dangerous notion. When reality becomes one of the monster genre, they probably said fuck it and added it.
Reading 'The whisperer in darkness' made me want to go back and see this scene...I wonder if the director was inspired by Lovecraft to make these aliens? How wait, I just remembered this film is from Del Toro :P
2:01 Lol that is a lot of knifehead clones, would be awesome if in a potential movie 3 the jaegers invade the breach and are attacked by multiple slatterns and otachis and leatherbacks
Oh wait, he just mirrored the Video xD In Battle Gipsy Danger lost hes Right Arm, when it was about to explode hes Right Arm appeared and his Left Arm Dissappeared... Sorry I got confused.
Having watched a reaction series to Evangelion, I feel like that's what they got the basic idea for Pacific Rim. 2:37 This shot with Gypsy looking like she's in a pose like a crucifixion is a bit of a hint to me.
I'm gonna say the precursors were pretty surprised when they saw Gipsy. they were like how did this cheap piece of metal made by monkeys get here.* moments later * AHHH
(At 2:48) HOLY COW THAT'S FRIGGIN HUGE!!!! And shouldn't people know that gipsy danger is a walking "nuclear reactor time bomb" and should people be worried and scared about that?
US navy sub sare nuked powered and so are the super carriers. As long as its contained and check on every 5 minutes its fine, and i mean people AND computers, they sont just trust computers after Chernobyl
@@Darqshadow chernobyl as far as I know was more than just computer issues. My understanding is loads and loads of safety protocols were ignored or not properly maintained and other things. Lots and lots of little things that lead to the big one? Too many things neglected or ignored. Could be wrong tho, but I would think proper protocol and maintenance woulda prevented that
@@ShigekiHizashi The design was also terrible at Chernobyl. But even Chernobyl, the worst reactor accident in history, didn't explode like an atomic bomb and has to date only had fewer tha 100 deaths directly tied to it. And even the highest and most heavily contested - and most likely wrong - estimates of deaths indirectly tied to the disaster over the long, long term come in at less than 20,000. And that's spread out over many decades. In brief, nuclear energy doesn't work at all similarly to nuclear explosives and Hollywood continues to get this wrong.
@@Nuvendil you do realise that an integrated self destruction in a nuclear reactor would literally be a nuclear bomb, right? A nuclear reactor is a contained reaction, and events like Chernobyl were just radiation leaks, not explosions. If you decided to just blast the entire fuel reserve for the reactor at once you would get a huge explosion.
*For anyone wondering what Guillermo Del Toro would have done for the sequel: apparently Del Toro wanted to reveal the Aliens to actually be future humans in exo suits. That’s right future humans were the ones sending Kaijus to earth to harvest the earth?*
Let's be honest. That probably wouldn't have saved the sequel. What we want is a black and white showdown. More lore? Sure! Retconning it to be *_complex_* No! It'd be another Ridley Scott scenario.
It's not too unfamiliar to what our reaction would be if we has been poisoning anthills in our yard and the ants rolled a live grenade through the window.
firstly, the breaches spit kaiju out and if you keep nuking the kaiju before getting to the breach, you're going to deal with a world that looks like fallout 3 secondly, they will just adapt things that are immune to nukes thirdly:nuking one breach isnt going to do jack shit to the larger collective. this was just a singular "fuck you" to the aliens, we have allot more we need to dish out before they stop mass producing these things.
4 Years late, but after rewatching the movie for the (50th) time. I believe it's explained that the Breach "wormhole" was simply too narrow and wouldn't allow such within. And more importantly, is how'd you cover the Torpedo's sufficiently in Kaiju guts, for it to accept the weapon of mass destruction?
