Pacific Rim: Uprising
It has been ten years since The Battle of the Breach and the oceans are still, but restless. Vindicated by the victory at the Breach, the Jaeger program has evolved into the most powerful global defense force in human history. The PPDC now calls upon the best and brightest to rise up and become the next generation of heroes when the Kaiju threat returns.

This is a typical summer-type movie, a popcorn movie. There is plenty of action and eye candy. It is pure escapism. As such, it works well enough.

Kaijus and Jaegers might be back fighting but that didn't mean I felt anything sitting in the theatre watching them wrestle for supremacy.

Under the direction of Steven S. DeKnight, the excitement of the scant battle scenes in the first half is quickly vaporized by extended sequences of inefficiency: in the laboratory, in the training room, in the testing facilities.

Pacific Rim: Uprising is a film that's fully aware of its limitations but one that's happy to work within the confines of them and even utilise them to its strengths. As a result, it's a much more enjoyable ride than anyone might dared to have hoped.

This is Transformers-level inanity. It will not make you feel like a 10-year-old, but it will make you feel 10 years older by the time you leave the theater.

Awfully boring all in all, and that's a terrible problem for such an empty-headed popcorn movie.

Putting DeKnight at the helm hasn't degraded the enterprise; if anything, it has put the enterprise, glorified demolition derby that it is, into proper perspective.

Like leftovers in the fridge or reuniting with a lost love, "Pacific Rim: Uprising" is proof things are never as good the second time around.

There is a lot missing from this drab, lethargic sequel to the 2013, rock-'em-sock-'em robots-versus-monsters hit Pacific Rim.

It knows its mission parameters, and it ticks them off with alacrity.

It's 10 years later and another rock 'em sock 'em battle between the Jaegers and the Kaiju is in the offing.

Like most unintended second installments, this one is superfluous - a remix of moments, scenes, and images from its predecessor infused with the need to make everything bigger and louder.
