Pacific Rim (DVD)Acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth) brings out the big guns in this sci-fi action epic about a ragtag band of humans that band together in the year 2025 to fight legions of monstrous creatures rising from the sea. Using massive piloted robots to combat the alien threat, earth's survivors (including Charlie Hunnam, Charlie Day & Rinko Kikuchi) take the fight to the invading alien force lurking in the depths of the Pacific Ocean. Nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless enemy, the forces of mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes -- a washed up former pilot and an untested trainee -- who now stand as earth's final hope against the mounting apocalypse.

Fun with the sci-fi and giant robots. The sequel seemed better though.

Perhaps the best line in the movie (and the most memorable) comes from Charlie Day: "This isn't shelter; it's the buffet line." Pacific Rim is Godzilla meets Real Steel (think robot) and massive use of CGI. I enjoyed the movie simply because it was entertaining. I am not a fan of this genre, action? action-comedy, etc or whatever, but I must admit the movie was good despite negative reviews. Sometimes you just have to take a chance and watch something to see what's what and this is one of those movies.
