Movie Review: Pacific Rim

Ok, so you have alien attack and big awesome giant alien killing robots! What else do you want?? It’s true that it’s the same ‘OMG the world is ending’ story, but that’s not why we go watch these films, we watch them for the fight scenes, for the bump of adrenaline caused by all the awesomeness and of course a rocking soundtrack!

So, aliens crept out of a portal deep in the Pacific oceans, and to fight them, the humans built humungous robots that are run by two pilots each to defend Earth. To close the portal once and for all a retired fighter gathered all the Jaegers and their pilots for one final mission.

What is impressive about these robots was they use martial art compact style more than relying only on weapons, which gave us the viewers killer awesome scenes. I love the robots and their names. I mean one is called, Gipsy Danger. How cool is that!! Also I loved how simply evolved the technology is in this movie. I mean it’s set in 2020, which is 7 years from now, so we won’t be having cars that flies yet. Even though the robots can only be moved by two humans who will mentally connect through a drifting device. Yes, that’s so evolved, but it was done in a very subtle way that didn’t look over the top or too fake. It’s a real cool sci-fi idea!

Other than the fight scenes that got me on the edge of my seat, something else would make me want to watch this film again, Charlie Day as Dr. Newton Geiszler. He was crazy hilarious!!! A great casting choice! Not like some others, Rinko Kikuchi in her performance as Mako Mori. With all due respect, she was irritating!! I hate it when someone force the sadness out of them! Like, ‘I’m a hurt character, feel sorry for me’ bleeeh!!

So, yes it’s a clichéd idea with predictable twists, but it’s an awesome, funny and fun summer movie! You won’t regret watching this on the big screen!! It’s a make you feel good kind of movie! So go enjoy it, summer season is almost over!!

Next review, Despicable Me 2!

Movie Review: Real Steal

I was waiting for this movie since forever!!! I am so happy I got the chance to go and see it!!! It’s AMAZING!!! A M A Z I NG!!!!!

The story of boxing robots!! How cool is that!! I was punching invisible robots throughout the fights!! Haha!!

I loved how you can feel the heart and soul of this movie!! I cried in more than one scene! It’s so cool!

So *calm down* the story is about a boxing champion, Charlie Kenton (Hugh Jackman) whose career was killed by the boxing industry moving to Robots! As he tries to buy a robot to compete with, his son, Max (Dakota Goyo) comes into the picture. Both of them spend the summer together and go through a mind blowing experience!!

Hugh Jackman is one of my favorite actors, not only ‘cause he is super super cute, but also because you can feel the emotions his character feel. He’s brilliant!!  The kid,OMG!! He is so gifted!! He’s so funny and really fit his character (even though he was weak in some scenes, but for his age, he was GREAT!!)

I also was blown by the special effects used in this movie. It was more believable than I thought it would be. The fighting scenes were so real. There was couple of scenes as well, which were so beautiful. You normally don’t see this kind of artistic quality in an action movie. What I also loved was how they incorporated futuristic technology with traditional ways. It didn’t ruin the concept nor did it look faked.

The directing was genius!! Shawn Levy did a great job!! All the elements of this movie worked together and it didn’t lose our attention.

I love this movie, I’m so gonna buy the DVD. The movie is action packed and so exciting!! I clapped, yelled and punched the air hahaha!! It’s one of this movies that make you live the story with all your senses!!

I recommend this movie to all types of people!!
