Product Description
Pacific Rim (3D Blu-Ray) When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes—a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)—who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind's last hope against the mounting apocalypse.

Short summary: a portal to an alien world opens under the ocean and giant monsters come out. The governments of the world team up to battle them, eventually doing so with Jaegers, huge robots piloted by two psychically linked pilots who must act in tandem to control their war machines. For a while this goes swimmingly, but the money dries up and the monsters keep coming, and soon the fate of the world rests on crusty and intensely likeable Stacker Pentecost (Idris Elba) who runs the world's last 4 jaegers in an endless war against the monsters out of Hong Kong. Pentacost has a plan to destroy the portal that brings the monsters to earth but to do that he recruits emotionally scarred Raleigh Becket (Charlie Hunnam) who must copilot with the impetuous and vengeful Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi) for one last big mission. Cue a ton of fighting and explosions.
This film showcases a lot of newcomer actors to great effect. The burgeoning friendship between Mori and Becket is particularly well done (it is best described as a guy-girl bromance really) and the rest of the cast does science, runs from monsters, or is Ron Perlman (yes that's a role now) very effectively. Idris Elba gets to play to his strengths very well here and chew a lot of scenery as an AGING HERO with SAD SECRETS, and lest you think that del Toro will craft a strong black lead then stick him in an office like every other director, rest assured that Pentacost punches monsters in a big robot too.
Of course the fights are the meat of the film and they do not disappoint. The robots and monsters convey a powerful sense of size and weight, as their enormous fists, tails, and jaws gnash and hit with weight and authority. Fights are almost wholly digital affairs and perhaps to save money they are usually in rainy darkness, but they are still exciting and tense. The multi-stage throwdown in Hong Kong at the film's peak is one of the best giant monster battles ever committed to film and I say that as a die-hard Godzilla fan.
Some critics have panned this film for a lack of depth, but the truth is that it does what it wants to- deliver a summer blockbuster- and it does so with unprecedented depth. Its writing, performances, and effects easily put it on par with The Avengers as a smart summer action romp, and to disrespect this film because it's not another Pan's Labyrinth is sort of like saying a really good ice cream sundae is undeserving of your time because it's not a baked Alaska. Lest we overlook it too, Rim is also an ORIGINAL film in an industry plagued by remakes, sequels, and general unoriginality. You don't have to buy it (although I would) but you should absolutely see it in theaters or rent it at least once. Don't miss out.
PROS
-Endearing performances from a young cast (with help from some veterans)
-Way, way better than Cloverfield
-Blends Artsy del Toro's flair for eerie creatures and dream imagery with comic geek del Toro's love of SMASH POW BAM
-Effective ear bug soundtrack will stick with you
-Really good 3D if that's your thing
CONS
-Some of the other Jaeger crews are not very well developed
-The very beginning crams a lot of exposition in pretty fast
UPDATE 10/21/2013
So I received and watched the disk. The standard version of Rim comes in a handsome slipcase with a fun holographic cover that APPEARS to be removable (although a true collector won't want to of course...). The BD itself is easily navigable and all trailers are skippable. There is a whole other disk of special features which I have not yet watched. Overall this feels very premium, more like a collector's edition than a basic retail set. The case doesn't even have cutouts to save material as many BD cases do nowadays.
Picture quality is outstanding overall. On the small screen, and without the slight softening effect of 3D, this actually reveals some sort of cheap-looking CGI in the first Kaiju encounter during the opening narration*. Thankfully, subsequent battles look great. The movie is free from excessive cleanup and boasts the odd bit of grain, making it look very filmic and natural, even when big monsters and big robots are clubbing one another with bits of dockyard.
Audio is suitably bombastic and rich, with voices, music, and effects all mixed to a consistent, listenable volume range (I'm looking at you, first two Iron Man films on home video).
Overall this is a great Blu Ray and watching it at home the film held up to my initial high opinion.
* This is probably because much of this sequence was produced long before editing of the remainder of the film was completed.
I glanced past several reviews with very extensive plot information. I'm very glad I didn't read them before I saw the movie. Do you really need 1,000 words of spoilers before you buy the movie? You won't get that from me. Earth is being invaded through some type of dimensional portal by huge monsters who are making an awful mess of cities along coasts around the world. Mankind has built a number of gigantic mechanical devices to fight them mano a mano - although some of the pilots are women. These behemoths are piloted by teams of two (or in one case three) pilots whose minds are blended in such a way that they can work almost as one person and yet independently also. Everything was going well for a while, but now the monsters are getting larger and the attacks are coming more frequently. The home team is suddenly losing both Jaegers, as the machines are called, and pilots.
In an early battle, our primary hero lost his brother, who was his copilot, and has become a construction worker moving from city to city as everyone builds huge walls in a pointless attempt to keep the Kaiju (giant monster in Japanese) out. They emerge every time from a specific area in the Pacific Ocean. The head of humanity's defenses, who is also a former pilot, tracks our hero down because they need anyone who can work "in the drift" as the mind link is called.
There are some oddball scientists and Ron Perlman (jeez, I love him) as a black market dealer in Kaiju body parts to provide some humor. The score is quite interesting and varied.
The movie is an homage to the monster and mechanized movies and TV shows of Japan beginning with Godzilla in 1954. Joseph Campbell would be so proud of Guillermo's use of the archetypes of legend in creating his characters. Del Toro will be glad to explain it to you. I'm not sure all the critics understood the many layers built into this movie. Too bad if they missed it. This is a terrific ride (and loud), but it has some serious lessons built into all the sound and fury. The monsters are real and we don't need to import them - they are right here already.

Reviewed in Mexico on July 28, 2023
Als alter Gojira (Godzilla) Fan war das ein großer Spaß. Hatte ich erst Befürchtungen, der Film wäre nicht so gut, hatte ich mich aber trotzdem auf diesen Film gefreut. Ich wurde nicht enttäuscht. Für Fans des Genres, super Unterhaltung.
Wie starr wirken dagegen die alten Mecha-Godzilla Filme, mit denen ich das hier mal vergleiche. Der Film ist voller Action, sehr witziger Side-Kicks, besonders zu erwähnen Charlie Day als Dr. Newton Geiszler und sein Gegenpart, Burn Gorman als Dr. Gottlieb. Guillermo del Torro hat eine Vorliebe für deutsche Namen und Bezeichnungen, so heißen die Mechas ja auch 'Jaeger' im Film, was am Anfang auch durch eine Einblendung erklärt wird.
Ein klasse Film, voll von Reminiszenzen an alte Godzilla Filme - Einstellung mit der kleinen Mako aus der Seitenstraße heraus auf die Hauptstraße, wo natürlich gleich der 'ikonische' Monsterfuß auftauchen wird. Genial gemacht.
Die Kämpfe sehr unterhaltsam, weil immer wieder andere Monster auftauchen und diese auch andere, überraschende Fähigkeiten haben, die die Mecha-Piloten immer wieder vor neue Herausforderungen stellen.
Bei dem Hauptkampf um Hong Kong dachte ich danach nur, wie will del Toro das noch überbieten, so gut fand ich den. Er überbietet diesen zwar nicht - da war wirklich alles drin was geht - aber der Schlußkampf ist anders und sehr packend inszeniert. Also wirklich gut, weil er sich das Beste nicht bis zum Schluß aufhebt, die Spannung aber trotzdem bleibt.
Apropos Spannung. Ich habe mich keine Sekunde gelangweilt und dass, doch bei mehrminütigen Mecha - Kaiju Kämpfen, um in der Terminologie des Films zu bleiben.
Dazu kommt noch eine exzellente Blu-Ray mit 20 bis 30 Mbit/s Bilddatenrate und DTS-HD MA 7.1 Ton in DEUTSCH (!!!) - DANKE WARNER! Endlich ist der 'schlechtere' Ton mal endlich auf einer in Deutschland verkauften Blu-Ray nur auf Englisch drauf und der deutsche in der besten Qualität die geht. Alleine dafür würde ich schon fast fünf Sterne geben.
Das Bild ist etwas bunt von den Farben her aber nicht übertrieben und finde ich für diesen Film durchaus passend. Bild ist insgesamt sehr gut aber keine Referenz. Die Kämpfe finden im Dunkeln statt, es sind aber genug Details zu sehen. CGI ist absolut ohne Tadel.
Die normale 2D Blu-Ray ist eine Zwei-Disk Version, auf der einen der Film, auf der anderen die Extras. Leider hat die Disk kein Wende-Cover.
Ich kann sehr gut verstehen, dass es Menschen gibt, die damit nichts anfangen können. Für mich als Fan aber ein überaus gelungener Film in dem ich einige Einstellungen aus alten Godzilla Filmen mit Freude wiedererkannt habe.
Mir hat der Film sehr gut gefallen und mich von der ersten bis zur letzten Sekunde sehr gut unterhalten.
Dafür und für die hervorragende Blu-Ray Qualität mit DTS-HD MA 7.1 volle ***** Sterne.
Für alle die Logik und eine irgendwie halbwegs nachvollziehbare Geschichte erwarten, die warne ich vor dem Film. Die Schauspieler haben aber alle ihre Sache sehr gut gemacht - Charlie Hunnam, Rinko Kikuchi und nicht zuletzt der exzellente Idris Elba und natürlich Ron Perlman - sehr glaubhaft und spielfreudig für diese Art von Film. Das hat nichts, mit doch mit viel geringerem Budget produzierten Godzilla Filmen aus der vor 2000-Ära zu tun. Das ist schon eher wie der Emmerich Godzilla Film und damit auch durchaus - meines Erachtens - von der Produktion her (Hollywood) zu vergleichen.
Für Menschen, die sich nicht an Geschichten stören, in denen Godzilla, Rhodan und Ghidora - was ist denn das? - von Außerirdischen kontrolliert werden und die Erde zerstören wollen, sehr zu empfehlen. Alle anderen, sollten um diesen Film einen großen Bogen machen oder ihn einfach erst ausleihen und sich nicht über einen Fehlkauf ärgern...
Nachtrag: Extras und Ansehen auf der 2,80 m breiten Leinwand.
Ich habe den Film heute nochmal in meinem Heimkino gesehen - 2,80 m breite Alphaluxx Leinwand, Barium 3 HD Tuch, SIM2 D80E Projektor, Oppo BDP-103 Player, Denon AVP-A1HD-SP/K, Audionet AMPV und AMPVII Endstufen und Teufel Theater 8 in 9.2, mit Audyssey Pro eingemessen.
Also, einfach beeindruckend. Die Bildqualität verfehlt bei den Live-Szenen mit Schauspielern - also nicht CGI Szenen - ganz knapp Referenzstatus, da doch leider ein paar kleine Unschärfen da sind. Insgesamt aber hervorragend. Die CGI-Szenen sind exzellent aber - wie immer - nicht ganz so scharf. Oftmals kommt aber Wasser vor und das wirkt sehr echt. Alle CGI Szenen wirken sehr, sehr realistisch. Alle Größenverhältnisse stimmen und besonders das Licht ist absolut passend. Kein Wunder bei John Knoll (wer Videoschnittprogramme kennt, kennt die Knoll-Tools), der die Special Effects machte. Steht ILM (Industrial Light and Magic, George Lucas) in nichts nach. Exzellente Arbeit!
Der Film wurde mit RED Kameras aufgenommen, die exzellent, gerade auch in dunklen Situationen arbeiten, wie man schon bei 'Underworld Awakening' eindrucksvoll sehen konnte - auch mit REDs aufgenommen.
Der Ton in 7.1 DTS HD MA ist sehr gut aber 7.1 also die rückwärtigen LS, werden nur spärlich eingesetzt, z.B. wenn der Gipsy Danger Mecha an den Strand kommt und die schweren Fußstapfen aus den Rears kommen, während man den Vater mit dem Jungen am Strand sieht. Nicht so oft sehr prägnant, aber sehr gut und trägt zum Sound-Score sehr gut bei. Bei den Kämpfen natürlich auch aber eher unterschwellig. Ramin Djawadi ist eine fast Hans Zimmer 'like' Musik gelungen, mit einem hervorragenden Wiedererkennungswert, zum 'Mitwippen'.
Nicht unerwähnt bleiben sollten auch Travis Beacham für die Story und Guillermo Navarro, der seine eigenen REDs und Obejktive zum Dreh mitgebracht hat - laut IMDB.
Die Extras nun, die auf der zweiten Disk drauf sind: Das Tagebuch des Regisseurs, Behind the scenes: Drift space, Behind the scenes: The digital artistry of Pacific Rim, Behind the scenes: Shatterdome, Entfernte Szenen und Blooper Reel.
Guillermo del Toro schreibt in seinem Tagbuch des Regisseurs: It is my poem to the giant monsters movie I loved as a child.
Das bedeutet: Es ist mein Gedicht, meine Huldigung, an die Riesenmonsterfilme, die ich als Kind geliebt habe.
Das ist es absolut und ich fühle mich da sehr aufgehoben und möchte Guillermo del Toro DANKE sagen, denn das ist genau das, was es auch für mich ist.
Dies ist kein Film für die breite Masse sondern für Fans, die die alten Godzilla Filme lieben, wie Guillermo des Toro selbst schreibt und neue Fans von Animes und Mangas von Mechas und Kaiju.
All denen hat Guillermo del Toro einen Riesen Gefallen getan.
Oder wie meine vierzehnjährige, halb-japanische Tochter sagte: Das ist aber ein sehr japanischer Film...
