 That is indubitably very stupid Hey guys, this is my review for the civic rim uprising the sequel to a movie that I honestly never thought We were going to get a sequel to the first one came out in 2013 and while it did have a Somewhat good reception the money that the movie generated wasn't the best the possibility of a sequel was kind of left in doubt But in the end the movie does and in a definitive manner it did end with them closing the gate blowing up the kaiju world and Everything kind of just being cool. So what happens with the sequel is it takes place 10 years later? Really the world is still trying to rebuild from the kaiju war There's people who are living in the slums of areas that were affected by the kaiju blood and then we meet John Boyega who was Idris Elba's character's son that he just so happened to never talk about in the first movie So what we see is that he's kind of a swindler. He's a scam artist But he's a survivor and then he meets up with this little girl who? Built her own Jaeger even though it's a tiny Jaeger's I'll stay right off the bat the little girl Gives you a good impression. She's strong and whatnot However, the whole aspect with the kids because she goes to this Academy to fight with other kids that whole storyline is Pointless up until it is forced to matter in the final 20 minutes I'll say that every time the kids are on screen. I just peaced out because it was either awkward Extremely forced are just plain boring John Boyega However carries this movie even though he is doing it for a failing cause He is charismatic as hell throughout the whole movie. He's almost like what will Smith was an independent stay He's able to say lines that just shouldn't work But because it's John Boyega saying them they somehow do what we find out is that there is these competing Jaeger Robot drone companies, which just so happened to be Chinese so those whole movie is just completely Trying to appease the Chinese market But then there's this weird sort of conspiracy going on and admittedly it takes a turn that I didn't expect it's both Actually not bad, but also really bad at the same time Mako is in it, but It's not a very good cameo. What's weird too is even though it's been 10 years They try to make her look like she's 30 years older or something. It's really weird makeup But now comes down to the fighting. That's what matters, right? Well, it's directed by Steven D. Knight who? Actually has never directed a movie before he was however part of the team for Spartacus that was his show. He didn't really direct an episode for it But he's done directing for other TV shows, but more so he's been a showrunner and A Narrative purpose guy. He's never really been a directing dude and you can tell because he's literally Taking pieces from other directors and putting that into this movie. There are so many JJ Abrams Dutch angles in this film and unfortunately this transitions over into the fight scenes Which are very subpar in the first one you felt the weight of these things these things move slow But that's because they were Titans. They were massive creatures And every time they hit damage was done either side This one there's two Yeagers that at one point fight each other Yet somehow they're able to walk away despite the fact that they did three times as much damage to each other Than anything that was done in the first movie That's the problem is that this film does take a different route, but it's like a Power Rangers route It's cool that they move differently. It's cool that some of them are very fast But I just didn't get the hulking ideal of these things It just made me feel that they were just Transformers not very big because of how fast they move and the only time you ever remember how big they are is when they smash into a Building so aside from the somewhat subpar fight scenes There are some good ones here and there, but then the very Cliche and buried on creative directing kind of comes in and ruins it the very off humor Ruins it except it seems when John Boyega does it doesn't seem bad But otherwise the humor is very lacking the kids are very Annoying and very rudimentary And in the end, it's it gives you the sequel bait at the end. It's just That was it that's what you were working towards so in the end I'm gonna give Pacific Rim uprising a two out of seven And if you want to feel really bad that they had these posters giving out of the IMAX which are not bad posters But there was a pile of them when I went and saw it and I thought you know what I'll leave them And I'll just see if I can get some afterwards the stack was still there like Also the theater I was in on opening day, I do Think maybe it was not even a quarter full. That's an IMAX theater. That's unfortunate Anyways guys, that's all for me. Hope you like this review if you like the video leave a like if you're interested in more Maybe subscribe.
