Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

qballartandsketches Pacific Rim is visually stunning, with great performances from Idris Elba, Charlie Hunnam, and the others

Bernard Lee Crawford After viewing this conglomeration of a film shots which obviously had no one over seeing the ludicrous, that is precisely what we are presented. This has gone onto my list of favorite ultra-bad movies since I guffawed and laughed out loud during the entire film. One thing I will mention is the fact I almost always enjoy Graham Greene as an actor and I would have to believe he wanted to pummel the writer and director throughout this farce.I liked Pacific Rim even if it was a bit cheesy because I am an anime fan and that is specifically what they were attempting to achieve. These films are on two ends of a spectrum.It is noted I have viewed some very wonderfully made low budget films and it is because the writer and director took the time to get the amalgamated pieces connected and coherently proper. I would have to challenge anyone to show me one scene in this movie that had ANY fore thought put into it. I truly believe someone walked into a preschool class and asked the kids to write a script for them which was transcribed by word of mouth to an adult and nothing was changed.This was almost as enjoyable as Mega Shark Versus Mecha Shark. Just not quite there yet. The only thing missing in this movie was the anticipation of the three bots combining to make a "Voltron". That never materializes but damn they do get the weapons, from where I have no idea.So you are warned, this is a heinous creation but if you want a laugh due to no one utilizing logic in creation or no continuity in any way, shape or form, you WILL laugh!Play a game, get a few bottles of your favorite whiskey and shot glasses and some friends. Begin viewing this monstrosity. Each and every time you witness an inanity of any kind, call it out immediately. The person to point out the inane does not have to take a shot, everyone else does. I guarantee within 15 minutes, you and your friends will all be utterly inebriated.

Ignatz Max So so so so so so bad..... in EVERY way imaginable. Bad acting, continuity, effects, story.... all of it. The bot suddenly springs up out of water barely deep enough to come up to its knees... was it lying down first??? Why were there so many dead people in town? One fight on the beach and practically the whole town was destroyed. NO military man carries a gun gangsta style in his waistband behind his back... In the car, the driver with the eyepatch never put his eyes on the road... just kept looking at General/Admiral Hadley. Not sure which since the same officer called him General and then Admiral... And as far is i know, 3 stars in the Marines is Lt General and in the Navy its Vice Admiral, either way they should not be calling him General or Admiral. WHAT?!?! Busting a locked doorknob on a steel door with a wooden handled hammer?!?!? And there was no locking mechanism in the door, just a doorknob on a door. Colonel Geise... fer gods sake take a chill pill. Loosen ya undies man, they must be so wadded up. I've never seen a man so stressed and full of pent up anger... any more stress and ya eyepatch will melt. Oh and is Geiss a Captain or a Colonel? Just exactly WHICH branch of the military was running all this??? Army, Navy, Marines??? None of the insignia was correct for any of them. I was trying to work it out but got a headache and gave up. 3 Bots and only Red does the work??? wtf? Melee weapons magically appear... OMG ITS THE POWER RANGERS!!!!!Forget this movie. I've wasted some of my precious life watching it... time i'll never get back... WHY.... why did i do it....? *sob sob*

Leofwine_draca Atlantic RIM delivers exactly what you'd expect from a PACIFIC RIM rip-off knocked out by notorious production studio The Asylum. It's a film packed to the brim with nonsense, featuring some pretty bad CGI monsters and robots and robotic dialogue to match.I like del Toro's PACIFIC RIM; it's a rip-roaring homage to the kaiju flicks of old. This is nothing like; instead it's a bland, soulless production that concentrates too much on simply trying to join the dots than to deliver a decent piece of stand-alone entertainment. The performances are uniformly poor, ranging from the non-starters (like Treach, who was also in the horrendous THE ART OF WAR III) to the weary veterans (Graham Greene, a long way from DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE).The CGI shots are as cheap and amateurish as you'd expect, but at least when the fights start Atlantic RIM does keep you watching - if only a little. But it's in the various supposedly dramatic dialogue scenes where this really falls apart, slowing down to a fatal crawl from which it never recovers.
