So, this was a lot of fun (as I predicted)! Pretty straight forward story (basic, barely there). Some cringe dialogue (but nothing crazy, they played the movie straight). Maybe a pinch of heart. But those monster scenes? A+! While the action and most story elements were really farfetched, who goes into a monster/kaiju movie for fucking realism? Fuck it! Go nuts! Blows Godzilla (97) out of the water (of course). And believe it or not, I think it was less boring than the first Pacific Rim (haven't seen the second one yet). I probably like PR better, but this shit gets right to the point and doesn't let up. It's a turn your brain off and just enjoy the destruction kinda flick.
