Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

This movie is a big dumb action movie. But what sets it apart is it's visuals and audio. Easily one of the best looking 4k movies I have seen (minus the opening sequence that has a few CGI shots that are almost cartoony). The Dolby Atmos track on this disc is phenomenal. Give your surround sound system a workout!

To date, this would be the best Kaiju (Giant Monsters) film, as it explores the fight to keep humanity from extinction. While, very successful at first (with category 1 thru 3 monsters) the worlds military join (like a world Federation) to fight the monsters, but have to rethink their strategy when the category 4, then 5 monsters come through the rift. It take a team effort, which makes for a more interesting movie, as their are many hero's. Get your popcorn ready and enjoy!

Guillermo Del Toro is a visionary. That is indisputable fact. What is not noted is just how much of hand he has on the zeitgeist. He gets it. He knows how to entertain. And he dishes out big heaping helpings of fun and awesome in his latest directorial effort "Pacific Rim" I love Kaiju having been raised on a steady diet of Godzilla flicks through the 60's and 70's. To see this wonderful genre raised up and given new form and function by a Master of his craft is exhilarating

I've seen this movie on the big screen, on bluray, on UHD bluray, but I hadn't seen it in 3-D. I'd avoided it because it wasn't filmed in 3-D and the 3-D was added synthetically (and I honestly wasn't expecting much). Boy, was I surprised! The 3-D is fantastic! It has become one of my favorite 3-D bluray discs. If you like the film and also like 3-D, I couldn't recommend this 3-D bluray disc more!

The summary says it all, giant Mecha (not robots since they have pilots) punch inter-dimensional Kaiju that are bent on eliminating human life as they transform the earth into a planet they can live on, and exploit. There are also other scenes that involve not punching monsters. It's over the top, schlocky fun. The movie is well made, great visuals, the acting is pretty good for a crazy monster movie. If you like giant monster movies, this is certainly one of the better recent releases I have seen.

This has easily become one of my favorite movies of all time. It's a young boy's kids movie, but for the adult male! I'm sure plenty of women enjoyed it as well. It has giant robots and giant monsters! Great designs for the robots and monsters. Good story. Good action. I wish there was more focus on the monsters and robots. More story to them, details, etc. I love this movie.

this is an amazing movie to begin with just for the scale of things. lets get right to it. this UHD release has amazing video, super detailed. beyond that, it has what is easily, one of the best Dolby ATMOS soundtracks ever. if you have an ATMOS system (I have a 7.1.4) you need this movie, crank it as loud as you can stand it (don't hurt your ears!) it's just that good. your sub-woofer will be begging for mercy!

I actually love this movie. The premise of the movie is kind of ridiculous, but it's so well plotted with wonderfully weird characters balanced off by deadly serious ones. And the action, and noise, and explosions, and visual excitement all contribute to the story. So getcher' popcorn, settle back in your recliner, turn up your home theater, prep the big screen HD, and BOOM!, you're ready for 2 hours of mindless pleasure.

I originally had the blu-ray copy of this and had been waiting to grab a copy of this one as it included Atmos. I finally got to pick this up and am not disappointed with the visuals and added Atmos tracks, it fully surrounds you if you have Atmos setup in your home theater setup. A must have!

Director Del Toro offers a fun, creative monster vs. robot movie that is intentionally reminiscent of the old Saturday afternoon creature features on TV in the old days. The action is great as one would expect. The story drags a little in some of the quieter moments, but this director simply has too many ideas that he wants to gleefully stuff into each film as if he may not get another chance to do so. I'll take his brand of unbridled enthusiasm for the film making process over some of the other stuff Hollywood churns out.

Sadly not a lot of people like this movie but my husband loves it. It's probably the mecha/gundam in him. But I got this, awesome and low-priced BR as a random surprise gift for him and he loved it. Anyways, I'm the type of person who just watches movies and I have to say, I like it. It wasn't horrible nor the greatest but it was a good movie for the theme it was going for.

I bought this on sale because my husband wanted it and said I needed to see it. We have multiple ways to watch movies, so I hate buying just a DVD now. I prefer a combo pack. The packaging on this appeared to be just the DVD, so I bought the Blu-ray with it, but when I got home I realized it actually was a combo pack in disguise! I got a great deal on buying the Blu-ray as well, so instead of returning it, I'll save it for a gift. The only thing that would have been better was if this offerd a 3-D disc as well.

This one has taken grief from people since it was released, and while not the best movie I have seen, what's not to like about a movie with giant robots fighting monsters. I have liked this kind of thing since the first time I saw the original black and white Godzilla. Clearly this isn't the most well written script ever, but the overall movie is decent. Good visuals, and the sound is incredible on my 7.1 surround system. There is talk of another, which I personally think is good news.

Giant robots fighting giant monsters— remind you of playing with your toys? It certainly did for me. If I had an IMAX-size screen at home it would make it even better being able to relive that first viewing. It’s a blast! And a punch! And a beast of a movie!

I won't say much about the movie itself. If you like giant monsters (ala Godzilla) vs giant robots (think Robot Jox if you remember that one), then you'll like the movie. The blu-ray video itself is pretty clean. Doesn't look super grainy and also doesn't look over-DNR'd the audio sounds great too. Recommend you watch on a large tv. Plenty of special features to go around including audio commentary. Overall, if you liked the movie itself and have a blu-ray player you'll love to own it on blu-ray.

I found the movie pretty entertaining. It's nothing to write home about, but for those who like the mindless action film, this is a good choice. The UHD presentation was amazing. The quality of the 4k detail is incredible. The use of HDR and WCG is outstanding. In the night battle scenes, this is most apparent. The audio is great too. Lots of good explosions and use of surround.

This movie was definitely a sleeper for me. I could not get a decent review by anyone that has seen it. The common response was, "it does have action, but the acting is kind of weak." I was waiting for this movie to go on sale below 10 dollars, but it never hit the mark. I just took a chance and bought it, and was not disappointed. Yes, the action scenes are great, and the story line is pretty good, but the acting is not the greatest. It does have Idris Elba in the movie, and he is a great actor IMO!

This movie is great. Lots of great action. The sound and picture quality are reference/demo material for your home theater. The neighbors will not like you much if you play it loud (like you should).

I really like this movie, love the VIDEO quality, this is definitely a movie that benefits from hi-def. The Blu-Ray version shows great colors, especially when it shows the many colorful instrument displays in the command station and the robots, combine that with great contrast, shadow detail, clarity and overall detail, it makes the included DVD look dull and fuzzy, a definite demo disc, recommended!
