Major props to Djawadi for creating such a terrific soundtrack that brought this movie to a whole new level of A-W-E-S-O-M-E. The soundtrack of this movie literally transports you inside the brain of a Jaeger, making you feel invincible. If by the end of this movie you don’t walk out of the theater feeling like you have the power to slay a Kaiju, then you don’t have a single badass bone in your body. Ramin Djawadi hit it out of the ballpark with this one. Yet the dynamic these two share is extremely intriguing and, without a doubt, entertaining. One works solely based on facts and figures, the other, a kaiju groupie, likes to take risks and do the unthinkable (the drift, anyone?). These people, perfectly portrayed by Charlie Day and Burn Gorman, are actually funny, enthusiastic, and have a passion for their work. In this day and age in movies, scientists are known to be very plain, somewhat boring characters whose sole purpose is to magically solve the problem, but Pacific Rim totally turned a 180 on that stereotype. The ScientistsĪt first you might say that these characters seemed very cartoon-y and over the top and many reviewers criticized that. Her character was the least sexualized character I have seen in recent years and yet was the most attractive of them all not just because of her beauty but because of the respect she shows towards everybody. Here we saw a female protagonist who is driven by personal motivation not by sexual interests. Her entire character, her backstory, her intelligence, her demeanor, her accent, her fighting skills. There are not enough words in the vocabulary for me to describe how I absolutely adore Mako Mori.
