Funny story behind this, my wife detests movies like this. When I originally rented she didnt want to watch...after three months of it sitting in our queue, I finally said screw it and made her watch it with me. After watching it, she said she was extremely surprised on how entertaining and well constructed the movie was. We quote it together often and its a fun go to action flick for anyone who likes movies that involve science fiction/giant robot/giant monsters. Great movie and its a must have. Cant wait until the sequel.

I think they should have given a better explanation of the 'rift', at the beginning of the movie, not the end. And why such a weak hero, next to the tall, dark, handsome man? He was just a big mouth and you couldn't see him very well. I thought the action scenes were well performed, couldn't a missile take them out better? It would have been a MUCH BETTER film; without the tall, dark, handsome man in it, who added nothing, but an antagonistic attitude. I couldn't figure out if the movie was about him or the monsters. ??? Poorly scripted. But, they got the actions scenes down pat.

I have always been a fan of giant monster movies ever since I watched Godzilla 1985 with my dad as a little boy. While this film will not win any awards for acting, the movie itself was a great time. Huge battles, amazing soundtrack, just everything you want in a giant monster movie. I own in 3d and in 4k HDR, both of which are reference level discs. The bright neon lights in Chapter 10 look incredible in HDR as well.

If you're a fan of Guillermo del Toro previous films (Hellboy, Pans Labyrinth) there's a lot to be found here in similarities. The story line is simplistic, a portal causing giant alien monsters to show up on earth and the humans having to defend themselves with giant robots, but there's also superb action scenes and an engaging human emotion to the story. Seeing it in 3D is an even bigger treat. The 3D is well done but some scenes are a bit dark so controlling the amount of light in the room is crucial. Overall I recommend it.

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

Just because Guillermo del Toro directed this do NOT expect it to be anything more than a computer animation extravaganza! Overlook the bad dialog, the often wooden performances and the story points that make no sense. Like freezing to death, just relax and let it wash over you! Visually it is very impressive and the 3D adds an impressive immersive element. It will also show off your home theater's sound system! Don't expect anything beyond a technically impressive popcorn flick and you will be happy!

I didn't get a chance to see this when it was in theaters but not too long ago I caught it when it was on HBO. Immediately I regretted not watching it when it first came out because I've become obsessed with it. It's visually stunning and an overall fun, action-packed movie. However, for me, the characters are the best part. They are all so diverse, each with their own interesting story, bringing a very emotional and human element to the whole story. Sure, PR is a little spoon fed but it's a fun movie everyone can enjoy.

Pacific Rim is a great movie. It's Guillermo del Toro (who I dont think can make a terrible movie) and he has great actors - Idris Alba (The Wire, Thor, Ultraviolet the tv show not the movie, Luthor), Chalie Hunman (Sons of Anarchy, Queer as Folk UK), Rinko Kikuchi (who is totally awesome and great) Plus other great characters. Giant Monsters, the world needs saving, there are giant robots controlled by people. It's funny, it's heart rending, it's fast paced. Everyone should watch it. The extras are good too.

A very fun family movie. The visuals and the sound quality were stellar. The low end of the audio really gave great punch to a great story. Pair this with the second film and treat yourself to a great double feature.

Good Atmos track, some great 4K scenes! One of my favorite movies ever gold the remastered it!

If character development and believable plot are what you desire, you won't like this movie. If you like to see giant robots piloted by two human beings bashing giant monsters from another dimension, this is for you. Idris Elba gives a remarkable performance as the head of the Jaeger program despite the limitations of the plot. The special effects -- the best part of the movie -- are believable and stunning and make the transition to DVD very well. I enjoyed this film for what it was: a romp, an action packed smackdown that worked to perfection on my home theater and 60 inch flatscreen.

If you like Transformers and other giant robot movies/entertainment, Pacific Rim is probably up your alley. Each of the giant robots, or Jaegers as they are called here, are controlled by 2 people that basically have their minds connected in a neural connection. A washed up pilot and a untested trainee are given the unenviable task of using a older Jaeger to battle against their enemy, the Kaiju... basically a race of giant creatures that are coming through a 'gate' at the bottom of the ocean. The only way they can stop the creatures from coming through is to figure out a way to close the gate.

This is what 4k is suppose to be, crystal clear, vivid colors,and deep blacks! I don’t think I have seen a better 4k movie yet on picture quality! This will be the movie you pop in when you wanna show your TV off! And the movie is the entire screen no black bars, I really wish they would do away with widescreen or whatever. Definitely pick this movie up if you have a 4k TV and 4k player!

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

This is the best way to view 4K UHD Blu-ray movies, my Yamaha A/V 870 receiver and sony 4K UHD Blu-ray player, followed by my 4K UHD HDR/Dolby Vision TCL tv brought it all together. I bought my tv from Best Buy here in Oklahoma. I am in for 4K UHD HDR awaiting for Dolby Vision 4K movies and upgrade for my Sony 4K UHD player, because there is nothing better than watching action, power pack movies with a 5.1.2 layout.

I'm a huge fan of these types of movies. Godizilla, Mothra, Gamera, Johnny Sokko and his Flying Robot, Ultraman, Mazinger Z(American: Tranzor Z); Voltron; The Iron Giant, etc, etc, etc. LOL! And now my boys are getting into it. They love this movie and want me to get the game too. Ah. My little geeks. In other words, try not to think too deeply about it. Enjoy it! Too late for me though. The more I watch it with my boys, the more I pick at little things wrong with it. I really try not to. LOL!

This is a great movie that holds with lots of action and suspenseful moments. This movie has awesome CGI and will surely keep you on the edge of your seat. I purchased this DVD directly from the store and it was in very good condition. Check out was simple and the staff was very friendly allowing for a very nice Best Buy experience. If you are a movie buff like myself, this is surely a title that must be added to your collection.

If you want a smash 'em up movie with a completely implausible concept, but great effects and escapist entertainment, Pacific Rim fits the bill. Characters are presented in broad stereotypical fashion, and both Ron Perlman and Idris Elba relish their roles. Effects are state-of-the-art, and the movie is a satisfying 2+ hour romp in the future that is -- hopefully -- never going to happen.

I specifically purchased the movie after reading reviews that the UHD version was a great showpiece of HDR. That was sure correct! If you have a 4K TV with HDR capabilities, you will be amazed. On top of that, I actually really enjoyed the movie. Great action and an entertaining story from start to finish. As a bonus, redeem the digital copy on Vudu, and you will get the UHD version which has Dolby Vision if your TV supports it.

Pacific Rim is a ridiculous movie. It crosses that line of so-bad-it's-great. The acting is a little silly. The story is really silly. There is quite a bit of entirely superfluous story content. It's pretty. The action scenes are pretty good. There are times where everything is moving so quickly, and the camera is so shaky, that it becomes difficult to make out what is happening on the screen. But those times are fairly infrequent. Most of the time, things look great. The movie is a lot of fun. It's worth seeing. But I wouldn't suggest paying a lot of money for it.
