“Rimmed Out” – in basketball, when a shot at the basket rolls around the rim and then comes out as a “miss / failed attempt”, it has rimmed out. | |
This review is for the Sci-Fi / action movie: “Pacific Rim“. Other than some mildly interesting special effects, this is an entirely forgettable “dinosaur like creatures fight humans in giant robot suits” – and the humans win to save the Earth. (Who would have guessed that?) | |
I was interested in seeing this movie at the theater because it received a write-up in Wired magazine. The magazine discussed the possibility of making / using such suits – unlikely to impossible. | |
Not the worst movie I’ve seen in this genre, but I’m glad I borrowed the DVD and didn’t pay for tickets. I’d probably have a lower rating if I’d lost the time AND paid money for the “privilege” of seeing this movie. Final recommendation: low. Skip this unless you really have nothing else to do, in which case, suspend all reason / thought and try to enjoy the special effects. | |
