Pacific rim is a film set in the near future. Giant aliens have invaded not from space, but from a portal deep in the pacific ocean. These aliens just kept on coming, so humans decided to fight back, by building giant robots to fight the alien monsters. After his brother was killed in a fight with the aliens, our main character, Raleigh, has to fight alongside a trainee from Japan. They discover that they both have had bad encounters with the Aliens in the past.
Charlie Hunnam: Raleigh Becket
Idris Elba: Stacker Pentecost
Rinko Kikuchi: Mako Mori
In this clip we see the build up to the fight scenes. Parts of some of the fight scenes. We also see how scared people are of the aliens, and how much they are relieved for the existence of the robots. This film mostly contains CGI. We see the well made suits that the pilots of the robot wear. There is a good effect when the camera shakes when the helicopter flies past. Most of the shots from a low angle are to make us fear giant aliens, in most shots we don't see their faces. But during the fights, the cameras are at angles that give us the best view of the action.
In this clip we see part of a fight between one of the robots and one of the aliens. You see how the alien is portrayed as quite stupid but a very strong opponent. But also how the robot has upgraded weapons and tactics. Since the robots have no expressions and can't feel emotions, shots of the pilots inside the robots are used.
In this movie, the robots have no mind of their own, they are completely controlled by their human pilots. They show how helpless the humans are without the robots weapons and hard outer body armour. But also how useless the robots are without their pilots. In most films robots are portrayed as machines that develop minds of their own, and take over the world. It's nice to see a film where they are portrayed as our saviours for once.
