True. These giant monster movies like Godzilla and Pacific rim never get the highest ratings from all the crittics but watching these in the cinema with good audio always get you excited and wanting more
The Pacific Rim was a masterpiece in the Kaiju genre made by a man who grew up watching the classics and his passion clearly showed, Uprising was made by some business executives who probably couldn't tell the difference between Godzilla and Gamera.
Guillermo MADE the story of Pacific Rim uprising ( but revised a couple of times ) But the film had a new Director( who at that time was making his debut; as theh say ) Though Guillermo was involved in the film, but as a assistant producer Really what matters here is : " What Went Wrong "
There were setbacks at first. The neural load proved too much for a single person. The two-pilot system was implemented. Left hamisphere, right hamisphere. We started winning, Jaegers taking out Kaijus everywhere. But the Jaegers were only as good as the pilots. So Jaeger pilots became rockstars. Danger turned into propaganda. Kaijus into toys. We were really good at it, winning. Then, it all changed.
We were gonna call it the Zord Program, but some guys in spandex showed up and threatened to sue... Then we tried to call it the Evangelion Program, but some guys from Japan also threatened to sue... We thought about calling it the Mechagodzilla Program, but then a giant radioactive dinosaur showed up, tore up most of San Francisco, and threatened to sue...
@@kcmkage4991 right, I totally agree. Watching the second one the jaegers looked fake and had no weight behind them + the camera angle were all wrong (helps sells the scale and gravitas of the jaegers and the kaiju)
Lord Shadow can’t stress that enough!!! Just by the trailer itself I thought it was more like a video game with all those sweeping camera angles going around too fast. It no longer had the gargantuan feeling from the first one. And don’t get me started with the teen pilots. Like how hard was it to cast older, more experienced pilots instead? It would have added both a sense of maturity and intensity during the battle scenes which those kids definitely lacked. We waited 5 years for such a disappointment..
The jaegers were purposefully made to be faster and lighter in the sequel. A Mark V, a bunch of Mark VIs, and a Mark VII should look and feel more advanced than any of the original jaegers, especially the Mark I and Mark III. 10 years of R&D and not being on the tail end of nearly lost war made the jaegers better.
@@JRH6271 even so, they looked fake whereas the first one looks real. It isn't enough to have stunning CGI, you have sell it. As stated above camera angle matters. Also you have to think physics, if this was real does it obey the laws of physics + having to keep it within reality.
Me and my brother had this laptop given to us to do schoolwork and to watch movies. We watched this movie for so long we got bored. Then again all teenage boys get bored of everything. Funnily enough, i kept coming back and was STOKED for Uprising. Uprising failed the original of course.
I think Pacific Rim is interesting and “realistic” take on if giant monsters showed up, not in the sense that we’d have giant robots, more in the sense we’d be on our own, unlike in the Godzilla, Gamera or even Ultraman movies we wouldn’t have a good monster to give us backup.
I see no issue with either one? lol The Power Rangers movie was my go to at blockbusters before someone bought it for me on vhs. Still have it. I can smell the nostalgia on it...
Why was the second Pacific rim so underwhelming? 0:20 shows it perfectly, you can FEEL the weight behind that punch and the slow heavy nature of the jeagers but the second film they're flying around all over the place with none of this sense of scale and weight, completely ruins the nature of the jeagers as these huge hulking metal machines, at least to me.
Yeah I seen the 2nd one in theatre. The plot was boring asf. Their was no character development. So when that one guy died. Nobody gave af. It felt like power rangers who met Tony Stark. The last fight in the snow was amazing tho. Rest of the movie was so disappointing. I’m still going to watch the next film if they make one. I love the concept and I have faith that they can nail it everytime if they stick to their roots.
You can tell the first movie is a true love letter to giant mechs fighting giant monsters, second movie was made to cash in on the first hence the sequel looking like a power rangers knock off
The second one was trying too hard to work with anime tropes and cliches. Kids instead of experienced soldiers. They destroyed everything in that final fight when they're priority is supposed to be keeping damage at a minimum if possible. The jeagers in the second one had no weight to them and they were too agile for their size. But most importantly. The sequel itself was never supposed to happen. The first movie wrapped everything up by the end of it all. Now a prequel would've been a much better idea.
Yeah the 2nd one was too much like a Bayformers film, the first one had the visceral feeling behind it, you felt the punches, the way the jaegers worked like massive industrial machines, etc. Del Toro created a masterpiece and it was a shame the other film tried to ruin it.
@@gunswinger3110 That's what Universal seem to do an awful lot the 2nd one was all them Legendary and Del Toro had nothing to do with it...Universal have bad habit of Taking something some did that's successful and try to piggy back and milk the Hell out of it. Case in point the never ending fast furious series. First was was dope concept but as the continue to milk it became more and more ridiculous.
Plot was stupid asf and the characters and people say the robots don’t feel big anymore which is what they was going for if they bought the movie and went to extras they said they wanted to keep evolving the jaegers so they went from the tank feel to the jet feel and as you see they are much more agile
Reminds me of the megazord from power rangers ninja storm where it went from bulky to slimmer and faster, also notice the mark 4 here was the earliest of its predecessors so obvious 10 years later they were gonna to be much faster jaegers
The most incredible thing about Pacific Rim is how incredible the visuals are, how on theme it is, how dedicated to the story and the genre is and that insanely bad ass, catchy, heart pumping theme song. When you hear that, you feel like a Jaeger yourself.
I think the thing I love most about Pacific Rim and the Jaegers specifically is the way that the pilots can feel the damage whilst in the Drift. It makes the opening scenes with Gypsy Danger even more harrowing when the Jaeger has it’s arm ripped off before the cockpit was even breached
Del Toro is clearly a kaiju fan. I mean who hasn't watch ultraman, godzilla ECT by now. This movie clearly shows respect to Tokusatsu. Image him doing Godzilla wouldn't that be awesome?
@@mauricehan2594 Tokusatsu are live action special effects centered films and TV series from Japan which includes giant monsters and giant robots. Mecha can be covered as a sub-type in the category of Tokusatsu, examples: Giant Robo, Super Robot Red Baron, Super Sentai(source inspiration for Power Rangers) along with any Toho films featuring Mechagodzilla, Mecha-King Ghidorah, Mechani-Kong and Jet Jaguar.
Pacific Rim is truly the best realistic robot-monster movie I've ever seen in my life. None can compared to the aesthetic design, adamant real world makeup and the breathtaking fluid action the Jaegers pulled off when combating against the Kaiju. I really thought back then that a sequel to this should be promising with the advent of advanced computerized effects. But in the end, it was so disappointing. More so not only that kind of word but have highlights of being grossed over the themes like using teenagers that barely appointed as combatants as the new generation of Jaegers but also publishing the acts in cordial nationalism, ridiculous Mary Sue plot armor and useless degenerative output of how gigantic robots moved. Its like watching a generative design truly made to enticed only younger audiences than the whole community. This blockbuster is a great loss to the mecha genre that many appreciated. The sequel is really nothing but a waste of money, disgusting mentality from the executives and lackluster theme developed over narcissistic oversight in society.
I've been a Kaiju fan for nearly 30 years. When i was a toddler, my dad showed my Godzilla films to get me to calm down. I now own every single Godzilla and Gamera film. So when I saw Gypsy blow its horn at Otachi in a total 'come at me bitch.' and was dragging the ship down the street like a brawler with a baseball bat, I was so fucking satisfied as a kaiju fan, I can't even begin to describe. Good video man.
The fact that he wanted to share his love of monster movies and push such a great message to the future generation, It’s so damn inspirational and just so awesome!
The moment in the beginning of movie where Gypsy Danger is saddled up to go meet Knife head, and they take a second to clash their hands together 🤜🏻🤛🏻 that shit hypes me up every time
I loved how unique and distinct the different Jaegers were in design and function. It would have provided for numerous movie/plot opportunities and personalities. Sadly however hollywood is always chasing the cash cow, despite the fact that first one need to raise and nuture said cow before you can get your money's worth.
This movie is my all time favorite, it has my two favorite genres, Monsters and SciFi, an amazing soundtrack, great visuals, simple but interesting plot, plus it came out in the US on my birthday.
Watching your videos makes me want to go and re-watch the movies your talking about with this extra knowledge to be able to enjoy them on another level.
The audiobook of Uprising is surprisingly good, in case anyone is interested in that kind of thing. I listened to it before watching the film and it's a drastically different experience. I adored it, not the film though.
Man I would love to see a Pacific Rim 3 with Guillermo coming back to helm the project and correct the shortcomings of Uprising and bring the style back to the roots of the original.
I was so hyped for the 2nd movie, then I saw the trailer with the child pilots and the scrap heap jaeger and...jaegers were being used by law enforcement? WTF?! I just waited until the movie was on Netflix, that was last week and I’m glad I didn’t have to pay directly for it. Though I do wish I didn’t waste time watching it.
@@Deadman6 Law enforcement jaeger could have worked if they made it smaller like that scrap heap jaeger. Who are you policing with that skyscraper tall jaeger? Kaiju? _Oh wait_ I have no idea why they think they can fit a child pilot into the movie.
The fight between Gypsy Danger and Leatherback was hella dope. Gypsy ripping off Leatherbacks emp, Gypsy getting thrown to the city and both of them charging towards each other made my inner kid scream with joy. This movie was a treat.
this movie gives me the vibes dude. i saw it when i was little on a vacation in South Carolina, and instantly loved it. the sequel? we don't talk about that..
Two of the things I liked best about this film (which is... my favourite so, I loved everything really) are: 1. The success with which Del Toro showed us the scale of the monsters and robots, and the "readability" of the fight scenes. You can not only understand perfectly what is going on, but you actually grasp how menacing and gigantic the Kaiju are, and it's... rare, to say the least, in modern cinema. It's SO enjoyable and exciting too! 2. The sheer honesty in the emotions displayed. It's supposed to be a fun movie, sure. But it's so much more. The relationship between Chuck, his father and Max is moving, the trust with which Raleigh dives into his friendship with Mako despite his grief, Hermann and Newt finally understanding each other after their drift (always loved how they fought, interrupted each other and didn't listen to one another, but right after the drift, they finish each other's sentences and just... get along). There is so much to say about the greatness of this movie, and I'm so happy Del Toro was able to make it despite the irony and cynicism being so prevalent in super productions lately.
Man, I just realized that movie doesn't need to be all Convelute and Serious sometimes it ok to just enjoy giant robot/monster fight, BUT that doesn't mean you can't be serious about it, just Balance it all and have FUN :-)
Kudos to you!!!Nice mature critique...your voice is refined and reflective. Pacific Rim is one of my top favorites. DelToro is having so much glee in this movie. Action,mood,great characters,fluff and a great soundtrack. I must have gone back to my multiplex at least 5 times to view this movie.Each different screen size gave the viewing a varied effect. And that end theme...so dynamic and theatrical....I can still hear it now. Thanks to All involved in this bit of eye candy. Too bad that Toro didn't have control in #2. The future looks bright for future projects from DelToro...Keep that child like verve!!!
Watched this movie back in 2013 in the cinema when I was just 8 years old and it was truly quite the experience, it was fantastic and the thing that always sticks with me is the iconic soundtrack
One thing I liked about this movie was the fact that the Jeagers themselves are like their own characters and not just "tools" during a fight there's actually three characters fighting the Kaiju. There's the two pilots and the Jeager they're plugged into.
Oh Thank you Niyat for mentioning Wayne Barlow!! Truly an amazing creature artist! You and anyone else who may be interested in his work should check him out. He has been part of some big Movie and T.V. creature designs, Avatar and John Carter being a few. ^_^
What I liked about Pacific Rim was the unpredictability of Kaiju. You could fight one that is capable of camouflaging itself,one that can stretch limbs,or even one that can grow as time goes on.
@@ArariaKAgelessTraveller sure there’s different underlying themes in each respective universes but to say that pacific rim a movie about “giant robots fighting an outside force we don’t really understand” isn’t influenced by a show about “giant robots fighting an outside force we don’t really understand” is kind of absurd
@@ArariaKAgelessTraveller correction he had never seen evangelion but he still knew about it. About 5-6 years ago on Reddit he talked about how he loves watching anime with his daughter and is very familiar with the evas and their designs
Pacific Rim blew me away when I saw it in theaters in 2013. I did not expect to absolutely love the film. It is one of the most awesome thrill rides I have ever experienced. It was the first film I purchased in 4K and by then, it was my 3rd time buying the film. Pacific Rim is a movie I will always be a fan of, because great films like this one don't come very often.
This movie is in my top 5 favorite movies ever. I LOVED it. No one gets it but this video explains it perfectly. It honestly made me feel like a kid watching an awesome monster movie and rooting for the humans.
Ah I just watched it again recently. This film was a dream come true for me. The sequel however, was a nightmare. I really hope it’s not dead because there is so much stuff they can do with it.
This and Darling in the franxx are some of my favorite stuff to watch. I like the idea of aliens coming from below our feet and not from the skies. Kinda like war of the worlds
I loved this video!! Thanks for putting your time and effort into this excellent analisis. I would love you to explain the Rakshi creatures featured in the Bionicle movie or the Deathclaws featured in the Fallout series!!
I remember seeing the billboard for this movie and not knowing anything about it when I went to go see it. I saw it 3 more times in the theater and bought the 2-disc DVD special edition. This is one of my favorite movies of all time, and I wish Del Toro had written the second movie, which was disappointing and didn’t have the same heart as the first. Now they probably won’t make another one and this could easily have been an amazing trilogy or just a standalone feature. Thanks for covering Pacific Rim Niyat!
I think the shots that really emphasise the scale or the monsters is what sets it apart from the sequel, there are so many brilliant scenes that are almost shot from ground level looking up at the giant beasts and bots going at it making the battles feel large and overwhelming in a good way. Where as the sequel film had too many floaty camera shots that didn’t help express the scale of the monsters
Del Toro dedicated this film to the memory of Monster Masters Ray Harryhausen and Ishiro Honda. It was the ultimate love letter to fans of Kaiju/Tokusatsu films.
Best movie ever for me. And seeing it in IMAX 3d was such a epic experience. Still the BEST done 3D movie I've seen yet. I was so deeply saddened when ..... "uprising" came out. What a joke on such a well done story of the original and pride put into the making of it.
The sheer scale of this movie was so great.

" What Went Wrong "

When I first watched this I loved this movie and it will forever be a master piece
Two of the things I liked best about this film (which is... my favourite so, I loved everything really) are:
1. The success with which Del Toro showed us the scale of the monsters and robots, and the "readability" of the fight scenes. You can not only understand perfectly what is going on, but you actually grasp how menacing and gigantic the Kaiju are, and it's... rare, to say the least, in modern cinema. It's SO enjoyable and exciting too!
2. The sheer honesty in the emotions displayed. It's supposed to be a fun movie, sure. But it's so much more. The relationship between Chuck, his father and Max is moving, the trust with which Raleigh dives into his friendship with Mako despite his grief, Hermann and Newt finally understanding each other after their drift (always loved how they fought, interrupted each other and didn't listen to one another, but right after the drift, they finish each other's sentences and just... get along). There is so much to say about the greatness of this movie, and I'm so happy Del Toro was able to make it despite the irony and cynicism being so prevalent in super productions lately.
I love your stuff its absolutely amazing stuff for everything geeky. Thank you for your service, its genuinely a brilliant channel 👏
Man, I just realized that movie doesn't need to be all Convelute and Serious sometimes it ok to just enjoy giant robot/monster fight, BUT that doesn't mean you can't be serious about it, just Balance it all and have FUN :-)
Kudos to you!!!Nice mature critique...your voice is refined and reflective. Pacific Rim is one of my top favorites. DelToro is having so much glee in this movie. Action,mood,great characters,fluff and a great soundtrack. I must have gone back to my multiplex at least 5 times to view this movie.Each different screen size gave the viewing a varied effect. And that end theme...so dynamic and theatrical....I can still hear it now. Thanks to All involved in this bit of eye candy. Too bad that Toro didn't have control in #2. The future looks bright for future projects from DelToro...Keep that child like verve!!!
Watched this movie back in 2013 in the cinema when I was just 8 years old and it was truly quite the experience, it was fantastic and the thing that always sticks with me is the iconic soundtrack
One thing I liked about this movie was the fact that the Jeagers themselves are like their own characters and not just "tools" during a fight there's actually three characters fighting the Kaiju. There's the two pilots and the Jeager they're plugged into.
Oh Thank you Niyat for mentioning Wayne Barlow!! Truly an amazing creature artist! You and anyone else who may be interested in his work should check him out. He has been part of some big Movie and T.V. creature designs, Avatar and John Carter being a few. ^_^
What I liked about Pacific Rim was the unpredictability of Kaiju. You could fight one that is capable of camouflaging itself,one that can stretch limbs,or even one that can grow as time goes on.
I seriously loved the movie..... I know its old concept & story but the VFX, the action i loved it
I feel like he danced around saying that this was heavily influenced by Neon Genesis Evangelion
I mean how could it not be ?
It's not
@@ArariaKAgelessTraveller sure there’s different underlying themes in each respective universes but to say that pacific rim a movie about “giant robots fighting an outside force we don’t really understand” isn’t influenced by a show about “giant robots fighting an outside force we don’t really understand” is kind of absurd
@@DanielRios-lz9pl it's not absurb
Del Toro never heard of Evangelion
Until fans told him
@@ArariaKAgelessTraveller correction he had never seen evangelion but he still knew about it. About 5-6 years ago on Reddit he talked about how he loves watching anime with his daughter and is very familiar with the evas and their designs
watching the first pacific rim made feel like a kid again, very very very VERY few movies are capable of doing that for me
Saw this in IMAX twice. Fell in love twice.
I really hope that the rumors of the pacific rim universe crossing over with the Godzilla universe is true
To this day
This movie is tied with Ford vs Ferrari, the highwaymen, and more as my most favourite movies
Except for that to show called uprising
What sold me on the film? Two words: Rocket Elbow!
By far the best mecha/monster movie I've ever watch, and I love every second of it
MAN I wish this film got a sequel!
Pacific Rim blew me away when I saw it in theaters in 2013. I did not expect to absolutely love the film. It is one of the most awesome thrill rides I have ever experienced. It was the first film I purchased in 4K and by then, it was my 3rd time buying the film. Pacific Rim is a movie I will always be a fan of, because great films like this one don't come very often.
This movie is in my top 5 favorite movies ever. I LOVED it. No one gets it but this video explains it perfectly. It honestly made me feel like a kid watching an awesome monster movie and rooting for the humans.
Ah I just watched it again recently. This film was a dream come true for me.
The sequel however, was a nightmare.
I really hope it’s not dead because there is so much stuff they can do with it.
I can’t stress more that this is my favourite movie of all time
This and Darling in the franxx are some of my favorite stuff to watch. I like the idea of aliens coming from below our feet and not from the skies. Kinda like war of the worlds
One of the many things this movie gets right is not forcing a love interest. 👍🏿
I worked at a movie theater when this came out. Legit must have watched it 30 times
Excellent Work Brother!
Much appreciated!
I loved this video!! Thanks for putting your time and effort into this excellent analisis. I would love you to explain the Rakshi creatures featured in the Bionicle movie or the Deathclaws featured in the Fallout series!!
Mortal engines? Interesting concept and would love to see you make a video on it
This movie is a gem. If only the second one was half as good
This movie introduced me to Mecha and Kaiju
Tbh I'd probably watch the muppet Pacific rim animation for ten hours instead of uprising
This is one of my favorite movies
Who needs a Pacific Rim Job!?
at first i didn't read the word "job" as u meaning career
Finally! Another pacific rim video!
The music for this vid is giving me real OG Fallout vibes.
Whenever he says - Niyat here with Film Comics Explained.
Me - There He is.
I remember seeing the billboard for this movie and not knowing anything about it when I went to go see it. I saw it 3 more times in the theater and bought the 2-disc DVD special edition. This is one of my favorite movies of all time, and I wish Del Toro had written the second movie, which was disappointing and didn’t have the same heart as the first. Now they probably won’t make another one and this could easily have been an amazing trilogy or just a standalone feature. Thanks for covering Pacific Rim Niyat!
I think the shots that really emphasise the scale or the monsters is what sets it apart from the sequel, there are so many brilliant scenes that are almost shot from ground level looking up at the giant beasts and bots going at it making the battles feel large and overwhelming in a good way. Where as the sequel film had too many floaty camera shots that didn’t help express the scale of the monsters
Del Toro dedicated this film to the memory of Monster Masters Ray Harryhausen and Ishiro Honda. It was the ultimate love letter to fans of Kaiju/Tokusatsu films.
This was one of my favourite movies to watch.
This guy was right. I've tried to watch movies with my daughter. This movie at 8 is her new favorite.
Best movie ever for me. And seeing it in IMAX 3d was such a epic experience. Still the BEST done 3D movie I've seen yet. I was so deeply saddened when ..... "uprising" came out. What a joke on such a well done story of the original and pride put into the making of it.
I'm glad del toro enjoyed making Pacific Rim, i hope he know i enjoyed Pacific Rim greatly to.
Pacific Rim has the best opening scene in any movie and you can't change my mind.
Excellent video Niyat, hope you are well and safe during this lockdown - I’m from Melbourne 😩
Oh Hell yes, awesome to see another Pacific Rim video! Bad news, the PR mobile game is shutting down...
Good to see you reviewing this universe again.
You’re getting better at this. Keep it up.
I’d love to see one on “Rampage”.
This movie seriously needs a sequel.
Just the names of The Kaiju are just Straight Up BADASS
Like Knife-Head
The sheer quality of the movie makes it look real,it’s 7 years old now,and look modern!
he should've said "i just want kids to remember that big robots fighting big monsters is still a good fantasy to have"
