Pacific Rim (2013) 7/10

Starring : Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Day. Burn Gorman
Director : Guillermo del Toro
Running Time : 132 mins

When a fissure opens beneath the Pacific Ocean, opening a portal to another dimension, a number of giant monsters known as Kaiju start coming through and wreaking havoc on cities all over the world. In order to battle them, mankind create giant robots called Jaegers which require two pilots, but even these prove ineffectual when the monster begin to adapt and the programme is closed down...

Basically this is a big budget Godzilla movie with a bit more imagination. There are a variety of beasts shown, each of them pretty original, and the action doesn’t really stop. If you love your action movies big and beastly, then this is definitely for you, but even though there is a story line and character development – which to be honest I was surprised to see in this kind of movie - don’t expect anything too intelligent.
