Pacific Rim

Guillermo Del Toro is without a doubt a true visionary and crafts beautiful and colorful films. And Pacific Rim is no exception. The world created is fun and vibrant and has plenty of eye candy. The monsters look great and the robots look even better. Del Toro knows what he is doing. The acting is great as well. Charlie Hunnam plays the main character and he portrays him very well carrying most of the film. Charlie Day provides us with comedic relief, a Del Toro regular pops up and Idris Elba kills it as the person in charge of the robots and gives a a great speech towards the end. The cinematography is beautiful and well framed, but did you expect anything less? See Pan's Labyrinth and you will know what Del Toro does. The special effects are out of this world and some of the best I have seen. The movie clocks in at a little over two hours but it flies by because you will have fun. Is it oscar worthy, no? Will you have fun? Hell yes you will. This is the most fun I have had all summer so far. Who doesn't want to see a movie about robots versus monsters? You will have fun too. I guarantee it. 9/10
