PACIFIC RIM

Hola! Long time no see. I've been a little preoccupied with some things but I did make time to go see Pacific Rim today in 3-D at the Providence IMAX. 
This movie made really good use of 3-D; I applaud their ways. It felt really real (cliche but you know) and it just made it that much better. The acting is pretty well done, especially the younger version of Mako (two thumbs up for that little girl!). Not to mention, Charlie Hunham looks reallllly nice. The plot twists were good and I also appreciated the take on the whole "mad scientist" idea. The visuals for the Kaijus and the movie in general, were all on par. Kudos. I did like how they used the military idea of "drifting" or emotional attachment, and meshed it into the movie.
However it was a little hard to tell the Jaegers apart from the Kaijus during the fighting scenes. It was a little slow at first and didn't really say much about Becket besides his brother dying. 
All in all, highly recommended in 3-D and the normal version as well.
Thanks for reading! Until next time!
