Jean, This must be one
of the top spectacular action movies of the summer. The battles between
the Jaegers (huge robots, controlled by humans inside them) and the
Kaiju (monster reptiles coming up out of the Pacific Ocean) are amazing
to behold. The Jaegers make the Transformers look like toys to me, and
the Godzilla would not have a prayer against the Kaiju. For some reason,
you can follow the battles as the monster robots are following
the actual physical actions of their two man or man and woman "pilots".
It is a blow by blow match and not a mass of metal against metal. There
is some technical jargon such as neural handshakes and mind melds and
drift compatible,. which you can pick up on as the movie continues. The
story line sorts itself out but the basis of the cratonic plates around
the Pacific Ocean and that weakness in the crust is the source of the
action and the solution. I saw it in a nearly full theater. I also was
impressed with the Category 4 and 5 monster reptiles and the analog
versus the digital monster robots. You can enjoy the differences between
the huge combatants and some of the lines such as "this is not a
refuge, this is a buffet line." Dad
