Released in 2013 and running long at 132 minutes,I have 2 problems with this film.First it is FX CGI driven and second,its too comic bookish while trying to be serious.I love the plot and the idea of deep underwater knowledge or lack thereof,implied if not actuality stated.I also like the transformer-like yet human controlled machines of early Japanese cartoons updated to this film,to bad the lack of real characterizations and a viable plot were missing.All in all,little more that a teasing idea of what could have been a much better film.
Trailer URL follows the picture and a IMDB summary below.Maybe a bit too intense for the little ones and more than a bit silly for me.
When monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes - a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi) - who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind's last hope against the mounting apocalypse. Written by Del Torro
