Pacific Rim Two-Disc Special Edition DVD

An adrenaline inducing action ride from start to finish

Hubby loved it

Good!

Excellent film the sequal is ok but the OG goosebumps everytime

I bought the special edition dvd to watch this kaiju film for the first time. Not seeing PR in the cinema was lucky, as my first impression was that it's a leave-your-brain-at-home, cheesy, campy, kid's movie. There's no great nudity, sex scenes or swearing in it. However, after watching the film a few times and seeing the bonus content on disc two, I've come to appreciate the making of it. If you're a builder of robots you'll know that giant mechs are implausible because of the weight-to-power problem: The heavier and massive the robot mech is, the bigger and stronger the servo motors you'll need to move it. Bigger motors means added weight, so you'll need stronger servos to move the added weight, and so on until the weight-to-power ratio becomes a losing game. The kaiju genre is Japanese, but there's scant representation of Japan here, except a token Asian girl (played by the stunning Rinko Kikuchi), but her role is played down and somewhat putdown by her overly angry, stupidly yelling, Western counterparts. The acting is over-the-top dramatic and the tension between characters is so forced and artificial that it seems like a parody of the genre. There's a couple of Australians (still Westerners!) whose dialogue is incomprehensible (without English subtitles on) that they might as well be speaking a strange foreign language. Incidentially, I'm not sure why they've portrayed a harmful neural interface ('drift' as they've called it) since the mech is obviously slaved to the driver's physical movements like a puppet through an analogue haptic suit and not controlled via their brain. In the bonus content, the concept artists say they've looked at big, real world excavation machinery as reference for scale, but we don't get the scope or scale here like we do in Cloverfield (which is a kaiju-inspired film) or Gareth Edward's Monsters (and also his Godzilla film), each of which seem to have better CGI renders and physics (it could also be about camera angles and pov?). The artists should have looked at the life-sized Gundam kinetic statue in Yokohama, or even the Liberty statue on Liberty Island, from ground level for more appropriate scale references. Strangely, Gillermo has applied this annoying lens fog or 'haze' over every scene that typically low budget films use to hide cheap and awful visual effects and CGI (so, essentially Gillermo has made a mega expensive movie look like a low budget one!). Anyway, if you're a rabid fan of Michael Bay-tarded films, you'll be a big fan of this cheddar; there's lots of fighting, big explosions, cgi to beat the band, and virtually no plot or character development to get you thinking. I won't hold my breath that the sequel, Uprising, is any better. If you actually want to see a dexterous mechsuit, look up Hacksmith's Aliens Powerloader videos on youtube, it doesn't walk (it rolls on catipillar tracks) but it's the closest thing yet to a real life mech suit.

It's my go-to already watched movies whenever I feel like watching "robot-like built" films. I love it!

I very like this movie.

This film follows the exploits of Yeager operators who battle against massive creatures from another dimension under the sea. Great cast and I can see another chain movie taking place.

One of the greatest bad movies ever made. If you don't have fun watching this seek help. It's definitely not going to be up for academy awards, but it has awesome visuals and action scenes. It's over the top and ridiculous bit knows exactly what it is. If you want to unplug for a bit and just enjoy yourself this is the perfect film.

Versão 4K está dublado em português brasileiro.

Super Bild und Ton Qualität!Besser als die Blu-ray!Absolute Kaufempfehlung!

映画なんで、音も光浴びれれば良いんですよ、その中でどれだけハートを動かせるかこの映画は老若男女誰の心も高める作品です。最初は怪獣ロボットムービーと馬鹿にしていても最後には拳を握ってみてしまう、過去最高の作品余談ですが、この監督続編作らずに、別作品作ってアカデミー賞取っちゃってます（笑）

Esta es una de esas películas que da gusto ver en BD, con una buena pantalla y un buen equipo de sonido. Esta edición incluye copia de la película en 3D. El efecto tridimensional está muy bien conseguido, y eso que está película no se rodó en 3D, sino que se hizo en postproducción; pero la verdad es que no desmerece de otras películas rodadas en 3D nativo como Prometheus.Gran calidad de imagen tanto en 3D como en 2D; y el sonido también es impresionante. La lástima es que sólo incluya pista de sonido HD en la versión original inglesa. Las demás en Dolby Digital 5.1. Lo curioso es que en muchas ocasiones películas de distribuidoras pequeñas sí que incluyen DTS-HD tanto en v.o. y castellano. Otro punto negativo es, como es habitual en Warner, que los comentarios no están subtitulados. Pero bueno, son defectos que no deben quitarnos las ganas de llevarnos a casa este espectáculo cinemátográfico. Además, si os gusta el tema de los extras y making of, aquí tenéis en cantidad.
