Yesterday for date night the
wife and I went to see Pacific Rim , which I
had really been looking forward to.
During all the previews they always played this huge claxon, alarm bell
which stuck with me for some reason. Anytime anyone mentioned the film, that
sound immediately leapt to mind – so, good marketing technique, I guess.
The movie was very good as the
plucky humans are manning massive robots to fight off an invasion of Godzilla type
creatures. The lead actor was not very
good or believable but the rest of the cast shone, especially Idris Elba, who
seems to be uniformly awesome in whatever role he chooses. The battle scenes are massive and spectacular
– actually had me open mouthed a couple times (not easy for such a jaded moviegoer
as myself). You can actually feel the
emotional impact of some of the scenes – again not easy in a sci-fi summer
popcorn movie.
I loved the movie but I do
have one complaint – where the hell was the claxon bell!!!!???? It did not sound once during the entire movie
– kind of pissed me off. (Check out the trailer below to see what I mean)
