Pacific Rim Uprising mini-review:
A squel that doesn't understand the love the first film had for its material, and doesn't understand that the first film had creative vision and wasn't just written to form. Also, not enough sexy monsters.
Verdict: unremarkable 2010s action film.
@starkatt We just saw it - it's duuuuuuumb. Totally a popcorn movie, leave-your-brain at the door style. Enjoyable though, if only for ridiculous reasons.
Definitely didn't have enough sexy monsters, though the infested drones looked better than the main monsters, and the final kaiju was actually kinda neat.
@Jacel you get me.
@Jacel This isn't a yes, but I'm open to the idea :)
@Jacel :smiles and hugs:

@starkatt just watched it. This was a good review
Longer review: basically this piece of film criticism from 2016: "The epidemic of passable movies" [7 minutes]
