Movie review: Pacific Rim

Growing up, I enjoyed a lot of fantastic things like Super Robots and Comic Book characters clashing against evil and monstrous forces out to threaten the human race. There's been plenty of times I've been fortunate to see these fandoms converge, but usually to an animated and small screen audience that saw lots of potential and concepts explored that gave rise to dreams that someday we'd see things like these in a real life setting.

And literally in awe-inspiring fashion, Guillermo del Toro initiated that dream in the silver screen with "Pacific Rim" - a monstrous film that sees Giant man-made Robots known as "Jaegers" fighting against titanic scary creatures called "Kaiju". Basically a love letter to the fans out there who love Japanese Monster movies and Giant Robot and Tokusatsu/ Hero shows, this is an American production by Warner Bros. and Legendary that's both huge and ambitious in scale. However, the end result is an epic that's stellar and breathtaking in nature, and anyone who wanted to see titanic forces unleashing their fury on a earthly setting certainly won't come home disappointed upon seeing this.

After seeing the RP advanced screening courtesy of and thanks to Warner Bros. Philippines, I'm here to review what is certainly already one of 2013's BEST blockbuster films, and it was definitely worth the wait!
