...this one I found mind numbingly slow paced, esp the first hour, predictable, formulaic and derivative. Needless sub plots and a high degree of implausibility even considering the basic subject. They even ripped off 2001 a Space Odyssey: near the end when the paratroopers are jumping in from 30,000ft! the music is "Atmospheres" / Ligeti, same as the "trip" at the end of 2001.

"Pacific Rim" was no masterpiece but at least there was some originality to it, was entertaining and didn't have me looking at my watch wondering how much more I had to endure.
