some thoughts on pacific rim
Jul. 14th, 2013 06:20 pm+ as with 90% of entertainment, too many menfolk, not enough ladies. there is zero reason why at least one of the scientists or the command crew or whatever couldn’t have been a lady.
+ too many bland white guys. as always.
+ MAKO QUEEN OF THE UNIVERSE. duh.
+ props for making this as un-american-centric as any action movie i’ve seen in like ever
+ could have done with about 70% less time spent on the ‘action’ scenes and 70% more time spent on relationships, details of life in this constant war, explorations of the ramifications of the drift, science-y stuff, worldbuilding, EVERYTHING BUT ACTION SCENES.
+ burn gorman was having WAY too much fun with his role that should be illegal
+ as with the original star wars trilogy, the world is easy to slip into precisely because it feels worn and lived in. the lack of shininess is a joy.
+ as always, with every action scene that happened on land, i was sitting there thinking, ‘but what about all the people dying?’ and burning with hatred for the concept of ‘collateral damage’
+ idris elba is the sex
+ the size of everything = awe yes good
+ there was a trailer for cassie cla(i)re’s movie and i nearly threw up
+ and now for some spoilers
+ I WANTED MORE STACKER/MAKO FAMILY SCENES WHY WHY WHY DIDN’T WE GET MORE OF THAT?
+ i wanted more mako period
+ charlie hunnam wasn’t bad, but neither did have burning charisma that would have saved a bland white guy role for me. i just didn’t feel all that much for him (except being proud of him for clearly worshipping mako from day one).
+ THE LINE ABOUT HOW THE FIRST TIME THE KAIJU CAME THROUGH—THE DINOSAURS. i love stuff like that. it’s cheesy but i eat it up
+ i’m torn between feeling like they didn’t play up stacker’s death scene enough and being glad that they didn’t turn it into a typical soppy melodramatic moment?
+ i would have been fine if raleigh died.
+ FLASHBACK BABY MAKO WITH HER LITTLE BLUE COAT AND HER LITTLE RED SHOES OMG. i am positive stacker fell totally in love with her from that moment and raised her as his own baby omg.
+ i will probably edit this when i think of other stuff
