If you want to turn off your brain and watch a giant mech movie, this is definitely for you!

The first Pacific Rim movie is my favourite movie of all time. I didn't go into this movie wanting to compare it to the first, but just wanting it to have any of the heart and uniqueness from the original film. It had none of it. It is fun. The cast is fun. There are some choices that could be interesting, but don't feel like it. The pacing is typical and too busy. It's completely fine if you want another plain action film, but be aware that that is all that this is. Overall highly disappointed and upset. Definitely watch the first film if you never have before, but don't bother with this one. Maybe they'll be able to redeem it a little if they actually get to make the third one like they want to, but we'll see if that even happens.

I love this franchise. The story is whateverish for the first 30 minutes but the fights were awesome. Just wished the story was a bit better. 7.5/10. Go watch it

John Boyega got the Juice, now!

A kaiju size step backwards from the first movie.

full of junk.. not unpredictable... chinese junk (alhough im a chinese too)

Too much talking, unnecessary characters, this movie has nothing on the first one.

Movie was too long wirh plot holes. No heart pounding excitement

Too many teenagers in lead roles.

Better than the original.

It was amazing!

Much like the first one I became 8 years old again playing with my action figures. This infects every aspect of the film of your not up for that it's not for you.

First one was better. Third movie will probably be better.

Although I was hyped about the movie, it felt too rushed and character development was severely missing. I enjoyed the last few parts of the movie as the majority of the movie was leading up to the Robots vs Monsters it wasn’t until the end of the movie that the action felt like pacific rim movie should feel like.

pretty cool 🤓

Do not pick Tian Jing. Even We Chinese people hate her. She is not an actress. She ruined this movie.

Not very good, kinda waste of money

Awfully terrible.

Didn’t feel at all like the first one

Not great.

It was full action and fun. Story line was whatever but who cares

must see!!!

lack of action

not as good as the original, but a fun movie.

was good but coukd have been better

Deplorable

best movie of the year

Completely exceeded my expectations! I really hope they make a third one!

Niceeeeeee

Don’t let the trailers throw you off

Go see it. Better than the first one!

Best movie I've seen all year!

I can’t wait to see the next one

Not enough monster fighting!!!!!

Can't wait for the next !

Great movie. I want a 3rd with all the gypsy pilots

Great movie but way too loud at this cinema...

Fun, but dumb. Storyline was weak. but the visual effects were awesome.

LITTY FAGETTY

I liked it, but not as much as first one.

dumb and awesome

first one was just great,,, second one was disappointing honestly!

my favorite

Hands down a perfect sequel to the first movie.

A great action film. Its biggest flaw is that it could have used some more time to flesh things out.

lots of fun.

Totally entertaining

Best action packed movie by far

So fun but so, so stupid

👍🏼👍🏼

Eastwood, who spends much of Uprising squinting like his dad, Clint, plays buttoned-up straight man to Boyega, a dynamic that's initially grating yet finds its legs in the monster-punching stuff later.

Pacific Rim: Uprising may be not be much, but in the spirit of the film itself, let’s be realistic. It’s better than any of the “Transformers” movies, and shorter.

My dad took me. He was a film critic and he’d already seen it for work, but then he took me opening weekend and fell asleep while I watched it. He did that a lot. But I think he liked it. I guess he wouldn’t have gone to see it again if he didn’t. What kind of idiot does that?
