Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is one of those movies that tells a simple story really well. Highly Recommend.

Yes, the movie is a little cheesy but still fun. Looks great in 4K and who doesn’t love giant robots fighting Godzila-like monsters?

This movie looks Awesome and Freakin Amazing on my Samsung Q90R TV.

This movie has some the most Amazing Graphics ever, your'e eyes will widen during every Kaiju attack, & you will grin uncontrollably with every Jaeger battle, marvel at the film's sprawling cityscapes, dazzling destruction scenes & epic Jaeger & Kaiju battels, Pacific Rim will be an absolute blast.

After seeing Pacific Rim: Uprising, I had finally decided to purchase the first Pacific Rim movie, and it was just as good as I remember. It's an enjoyable watch. Giant robots vs. giant monsters. What's not to love?

A Classic SyFi of the times. Very cool Special effects, enjoy seeing the enormous sights of giant monsters' fighting giant robots controlled by humans! Can't just make this up!

Movie is good. Not awesome but the picture quality is awesome. A reference film to show off your 4k tv and sound setup. Highly recommended

Omg a great movies if you got a 4k hdr tv this its the movie you need

I love this can't wait when the sequel comes out with a new cast.

4K Video and Audio is excellent. Demo-worthy.Buyit

This is the second time that I have bought this movie on disc, and it definitely was worth the purchase price to upgrade to 4K. I am not going to get into the plot details, but am going to focus on the outstanding picture and sound quality. I can say without reservation, in terms of picture quality, that this is one of the best 4K transfers available. The sharpness, contrast, color, and HDR are simply amazing and must be seen to be believed. This is now my go to disc to show what 4K HDR can do. The 4K disc comes with a 4K digital code. The picture and sound quality of the digital version is comparable to that of the disc. If you are looking for a 4K disc to demo your system, this is the 4K disc to get.

Pacific Rim is a colossal spectacle of epic proportions that brings the joy of giant monster and robot battles to the big screen. The film's breathtaking visuals, awe-inspiring action sequences, and masterful creature design create an immersive experience that will leave audiences in awe. With its perfect blend of heart-pounding excitement, charismatic performances, and captivating narrative, Pacific Rim is a must-watch for fans of thrilling sci-fi adventures.

There are very few movies that make me say "Wow" repeatedly. Pacific Rim is one of them. The 4K version has stunning scene after scene of vivid detail and color. The Dolby Atmos soundtrack is earth shattering during the Kaiju and Jaeger fights. I had to turn my Nakamichi sound system's bass down. The story and characters are very engaging with Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, and Ron Perlman giving fantastic performances.

I bought this when it first came out, as a DVD. I bought this to take the place of the DVD version. I've watched this movie several times, and have enjoyed it every time. It is an excellent sci-fi movie, since anything is possible in a sci-fi movie. The characters are not hallow, the storyline is well done, and the action scenes are fantastic. This is one of those movies that works well when you just want to escape for a couple of hours. It's just an excellent watch.

ROBOTS ARE THE BEST!! I know that anyone reading my review of this movie is going to think that I'm crazy and they're probably right. But I have such a big love for explosion-y sci-fi movies! Guh, I can't express how cool this movie is. The music is amazing, the robots are the best, the aliens remind me of my siblings when they're grumpy, etc. I would definetly recommend this movie to those who love explosions and science fiction (and robots).

This movie was action packed and more awesome in Blu-ray 3D. The fight scenes were also fantastic and adventurous. So make your Popcorn and settle in to watch an entertaining movie. Enjoy!! After the movie I watched the Special feature and how the movie was made and the concepts the designers went through to make the fight scenes believable.

I am just starting my 4K collection and I am so glad to have found and picked this up at my local store. The image quality is the best I have seen this in and the sounds are deep and rich. This is a must-pick-up if Pacific Rim is one of your favorite movies, especially Tokusatsu fans. truly a love letter to mecha and kaiju

This refreshingly action packed story of brothers and robots! What more can you want!? An amazing entry in the 4k Universe has enough charm for the whole family thanks to standout performances, broad humor, and positive attitudes and wonderful 4k scanning. I highly recommend this movie if you are looking to add a new 4K blu ray to your collection

The review is mostly for the 3D version. Surprisingly, this movie was post converted to 3D, but you would never know it. There is so much going on, that there is no time for the usual and cheesy gimmicky sword in your face shots usually associated with 3D movies. It is very immersive and borders on VR. The 7.1 Dolby audio will rattle the room. Fantastic fun.

Short summary: a portal to an alien world opens under the ocean and giant monsters come out. The governments of the world team up to battle them, eventually doing so with Jaegers, huge robots piloted by two psychically linked pilots who must act in tandem to control their war machines. For a while this goes swimmingly, but the money dries up and the monsters keep coming, and soon the fate of the world rests on crusty and intensely likeable Stacker Pentecost (Idris Elba) who runs the world's last 4 jaegers in an endless war against the monsters out of Hong Kong. Pentacost has a plan to destroy the portal that brings the monsters to earth but to do that he recruits emotionally scarred Raleigh Becket (Charlie Hunnam) who must copilot with the impetuous and vengeful Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi) for one last big mission. Cue a ton of fighting and explosions. This film showcases a lot of newcomer actors to great effect. The burgeoning friendship between Mori and Becket is particularly well done (it is best described as a guy-girl bromance really) and the rest of the cast does science, runs from monsters, or is Ron Perlman (yes that's a role now) very effectively. Idris Elba gets to play to his strengths very well here and chew a lot of scenery as an AGING HERO with SAD SECRETS, and lest you think that del Toro will craft a strong black lead then stick him in an office like every other director, rest assured that Pentacost punches monsters in a big robot too. Of course the fights are the meat of the film and they do not disappoint. The robots and monsters convey a powerful sense of size and weight, as their enormous fists, tails, and jaws gnash and hit with weight and authority. Fights are almost wholly digital affairs and perhaps to save money they are usually in rainy darkness, but they are still exciting and tense. The multi-stage throwdown in Hong Kong at the film's peak is one of the best giant monster battles ever committed to film and I say that as a die-hard Godzilla fan. Some critics have panned this film for a lack of depth, but the truth is that it does what it wants to- deliver a summer blockbuster- and it does so with unprecedented depth. Its writing, performances, and effects easily put it on par with The Avengers as a smart summer action romp, and to disrespect this film because it's not another Pan's Labyrinth is sort of like saying a really good ice cream sundae is undeserving of your time because it's not a baked Alaska. Lest we overlook it too, Rim is also an ORIGINAL film in an industry plagued by remakes, sequels, and general unoriginality. You don't have to buy it (although I would) but you should absolutely see it in theaters or rent it at least once. Don't miss out. PROS -Endearing performances from a young cast (with help from some veterans) -Way, way better than Cloverfield -Blends Artsy del Toro's flair for eerie creatures and dream imagery with comic geek del Toro's love of SMASH POW BAM -Effective ear bug soundtrack will stick with you -Really good 3D if that's your thing CONS -Some of the other Jaeger crews are not very well developed -The very beginning crams a lot of exposition in pretty fast UPDATE 10/21/2013 So I received and watched the disk. The standard version of Rim comes in a handsome slipcase with a fun holographic cover that APPEARS to be removable (although a true collector won't want to of course...). The BD itself is easily navigable and all trailers are skippable. There is a whole other disk of special features which I have not yet watched. Overall this feels very premium, more like a collector's edition than a basic retail set. The case doesn't even have cutouts to save material as many BD cases do nowadays. Picture quality is outstanding overall. On the small screen, and without the slight softening effect of 3D, this actually reveals some sort of cheap-looking CGI in the first Kaiju encounter during the opening narration*. Thankfully, subsequent battles look great. The movie is free from excessive cleanup and boasts the odd bit of grain, making it look very filmic and natural, even when big monsters and big robots are clubbing one another with bits of dockyard. Audio is suitably bombastic and rich, with voices, music, and effects all mixed to a consistent, listenable volume range (I'm looking at you, first two Iron Man films on home video). Overall this is a great Blu Ray and watching it at home the film held up to my initial high opinion. * This is probably because much of this sequence was produced long before editing of the remainder of the film was completed.
