PACIFIC RIM: UPRISING

The original PACIFIC RIM I only saw once and that was in the theaters. With a movie like this, I figure you should see it on the biggest screen possible. Anyway, the first one didn't leave much of an impression on me but this one did because it was bad. The story was weak and rushed. I'm also not a fan of most children or young actors/actresses and Cailee Spaeny reminded me why. I just found her and her character to be somewhat annoying. It's a good thing John Boyega has STAR WARS to fall back on because his work outside of that hasn't impressed me much. I do enjoy Charlie Day and he provided a little comedy to the movie, but overall, it was a mess. I'm glad it wasn't overly long and bloated as well. I would have given it a lower score but the visual FX were good (although some of the battle scenes between the robots and monsters were boring). How do you screw up a robot/monster battle!? 5/10
