That ship alone is sturdier than the entire regiment of Jaegers in Uprising.

Imagine if there was an alien race that had no concept of fiction, so they watch this and purposely do not interact with us because they think we have giant robots that could annihilate them

You’ll never convince me that Gypsy using a ship as a bat isn’t the coolest thing ever. This movie is just so fun.

It's so sad that they never made a sequel to this amazing movie.

Fun fact: once that cargo ship was retrieved post battle, it was repaired and returned to the ocean to continue its work, only for it to be wedged once again in the Suez canal

2013: *carefully steps over bridges to avoid as much property damage as possible* 2018: *literally brings down like 5 skyscrapers just to slow down a kaiju*

No unnecessary talking, realistic movements, perfect shade of colors, actually entertaining fight, and pilots trying to avoid damage, both self and collateral. This is how pacific rim 2 should have been.

I love how GD flinches at 2:09. It really reminds you that these pilots are mentally linked to their machine and this is their reaction to having acid spat at them.

Kaiju: has an organ for a specific attack Gipsy danger: mine!

the best part is how they rip out the kaiju's tongue. There's no shock, no "oh my god what is that". Just a second of "oh that thing spits acid. give me that".

0:01 I think this is one of the best entrance of all the time, the music, the effect of the foots on the street, ITS SO EPIC, I LOVE THIS SCENE

1:02 Idk why I love this scene so much, the sound effect of the armour plates scraping together along with the shaking of the buildings really makes just how heavy the jaeger is

THIS IS WHAT UPRISING FAILED TO DO. We don't need Transformers doing back flips while getting tossed around like rag dolls. We just want heavy hits and angles that made the Jaegars feel ginormous and colossal. Bring back Del Toro PLEASE.

Uprising: *exist* Every Pacific Rim fans: i will pretend i didn't see that

Gypsy knew about Otachi's two main Jaeger-killing weapons, that being the claw-tail designed to crush conn-pods and the acidic spit that would melt even the toughest metal armour. It gave the adaptive Gypsy Danger a chance to beat the Kaiju that had just taken out 2 of the 4 legendary final Jaegers, a chance the Gypsy's crew took and won. Unlike Crimson, a GEN4 electric-powered Jaeger with 3 damage-focused but thin arms, Gypsy was able to hold back Otachi's claw-tail with its stronger arms and had coolant (meant to prevent its own nuclear reactor from exploding) to freeze then smash it. Crimson's attack pattern was largely avoided on instinct by Otachi, and its 3 saw-blade arms without hands couldn't block Otachi's muscular claw-tail from going directly for the head. Even if Otachi hadn't decapitated Crimson with a surprise direct attack onto the small conn-podd with the claw-tail, Leatherback's EMP would have knocked out Crimson anyway, and given the EMPs range and the water depth they were fighting at, there was no way that Crimson would have been able to evade the EMP. There wasn't anything it could do against 2 Kaiju specifically meant to kill it. Unlike Cherno, a GEN1 heavily-armoured but slow tank of a Jaeger, Gypsy was able to dodge out of the acid spitstream whereas Cherno neither had the mobility nor the knowledge of the acidic spit itself. Not only that, but Gypsy's fingered hands, unlike Cherno's veritable punching blocks, allowed it to grab Otachi's spit sac and rip it out, something Cherno couldn't have done the blocky pistons it had as hands. The whole Hong Kong battle was a showcase of how adapting your weapon to your enemy and having the element of surprise is crucial. Refurbrished Gypsy Danger was an unknown to Otachi and Leatherback, and its adaptive crew proved their resourcefulness once it learned of the latters' special weapons.

This movie was everything 11 year old me could ask for. Watched over 30 times and never get tired of it.

Really like how the Jaegers have a slight delay in their movements from the pilots. It makes them feel like real machinery.

2:12 I like how Gypsy looks at the melting building and turns around and be like “Alright, that thing needs to go.”

2:40 When his fingers open up after breaking free is just glorious, and what follows is sure to be extremely balls-to-the-walls awesomely badass.

0:08 Even just that little hand adjustment makes me appreciate all of the details they put into the movie.

Cant we all agree that even in 2020 this is amazing cgi

Pacific Rim: Robots try to stop the Kaiju from destroying the city Pacific Rim Uprising: *Kaiju try to stop the robots from destroying the city*

I really like how the Jaegers have a real sense of weight and power behind them. It makes it feel much more like a real monster fight unlike the second movie where the giant robots run and jump around as if they were made of air.

After 9 years I think we can all agree that this movie will never get old

This is the kind of CGI that shows how robot, heavy, metal a giant robot is unlike the assjoke second movie

How this didn't get an oscar for visual effects baffles me. This came out four years ago, and the attention to detail by today's standards is immaculate.

The monsters and robots in this movie actually felt heavy and scary like they could do some serious damage. And i also love how gypsy goes straight for the power source of the kaijus😂

1:38 And this scene showed just how perfectly they can blend action and comedy.. Man, Guillermo del Toro is such an amaxing director, they should bring him back whenever they make a 2nd Pacific Rim movie.

1:16 Look at THAT. They actually pilot Gypsy so she steps OVER the bridge and doesn't damage it. Look how careful they are! Uprising was all, "Nah, I hate this city's design."

Never mess with something that uses a ship as a baseball bat.

2:43 I just love how the hand opens as they are right about to grab it. It looks so badass!

Jaegers in 2013: Slow, heavy machinery Jaegers in 2018: *aggressive ninja kicking*

Part 1: John Wick but giant robots Uprising: Power Rangers

The way the robot displaces the rain in the beginning and the slow way it moves shows this movie had a level of dedication and love that uprising could never reach

I love how the pilots go out of their way to step over a bridge instead of destroying it while walking, it really shows that they are trying to stop the Kaiju in a way that doesn't completely destroy the city.

Guilermo Del Toro: how many times you're wanna watch this movie? Fans: YES... DeKnight: how many times you wanna watch sequel of this movie? Fans: Pacific Rim have sequel?

Surprising how Pacific rim 2 looks like a 2010 movie whole Pacific rim looks like a 2030 movie

1:17 you see Gipsy Danger trying to minimize damage in the City. In Uprising we see Saber Athena driving her dual blades through buildings while running towards the Kaiju just because it looks cool.

the idea of the coolant just being pure liquid nitrogen gas is amazing, just shows how "cool" the coolant needs to be for these giant machines with literaly millions of moving parts

No shaky camera. One of the best fight scene I've watched

“When I joined the program, we didn’t have any fancy schmancy swords, we had two fists and a BOAT, for two pilots *AND WE HAD TO SHARE THE BOAT* “

Can we also appreciate the little details? Gypsy adjusting her grip on the boat before swinging it up, the weight of her movements, the mechanical creaking and groaning as she stomps over the “camera”- just, ugh, so good!!! Uprising? Never heard of her.

2:44 That sound of gipsys fingers opening is amazing

0:48 now *this* is how you show the weight of a Yeager. Slow, loud, powerful and so ungodly heavy that the *camera* shakes even with how far away it is Edit: 0:06 I love how in hindsight, you can see Otachi’s folded Pterosaur-finger and wing membrane stretch and pull as she moves but they’re hidden in such a way that when watching for the first time, you don’t realise her arms double as wings until the reveal!! Really cool lol

All this movie does is prove that human beings are willing to sit down for 2 hours just to watch giant things fight each other.

Normal people: "Noo..!! You can't just use a ship to hurt kaijus!" Gipsy Danger: *Haha go cargo bat clang clang*

The music, the walk, the fact it drags a boat, all of it tells you that there is going to be a big showdown, and that no one is playing around

You can be cool but you’ll never be “Gipsy Danger dragging a ship in to a fight” cool.

1:13 - 1:24 this! This right here! It's scenes like this that make this movie infinity better than uprising. You can actually see that the Jaegers have weight. You can hear the metal straining from the movement and you see all the hydrolics and mechanics moving. It feels real

Gipsy Avenger: I have a gravity sling, plasma cannons, reactor cannon and two chainsaw swords Gipsy Danger: Back in my days I fought a flying Kaiju using a boat as a bat... and I won

Tell me that was the best entrance Gipsy ever pulled. An oil rig walking while music played. That was a serious entrance. I was shook during that

I love the slight details! The metal creeking, the slow but powerful movement and the pilots actually trying to avoid unneccesary damage!

Kaiju: I’m about to end this Jager’s whole career Gipsy Danger: *Hold my cargo ship*

This gotta be one of the most iconic movie scene in history. Many years to come, pop culture will reference this scene The rain, The buildings, The Neon lights, and The fight between Giant Monster and Giant Robots.

The action scene looks chaotic, but never confusing. You always see and know what is, will, or had happened. Moreover, when things gets too fast, there will be a brief period of delay like when Yager gives a light tap on a Newton's cradle. Del Toro's visionary is masterful

0:48 Dude- the camera is shaking which each of gypsy’s step, holy- thats immersive!

*Calls Landlord* "Hey, a uh... boat crashed into my apartment." "You live on the 18th floor" "Yeah, your point?"

1st movie:kaijus trying to destroy the city 2nd movie:jeagers trying to destroy the city

There is no way to describe how really badass the opening moments of this scene is. A giant robot dragging a tanker ship and using it like a bat. Truly epic.

One of the best if not favorite movies to ever have existed. I think I’ve rewatched it over 20+ times and it still is a joy every single time. Wish it got a sequel!

*This is how Big robot moves. Unlike 3000 tons ninja doing blackflip.*

Hands down the most badass scene of the entire movie

That iconic guitar riff from this movie will never get old

The momentum they need to even move an arm is what make this movie so great... We can feel the heavyness of the giants

The start of this video is a giant american robot with german name hitting a giant alien monster with japanese name with a chinese cargo ship

Pacific Rim : Robots vs Monsters Pacific Rim Uprising : Power Rangers vs Monsters

The guitar riff gives me goosebumps, what an epic soundtrack for an epic movie. Best monster fighting movie to date.

Director- Need a bgm for a giant robot fighting a massive alien creature. Ramin Djawadi - "Say no more"🔥

2:45 freaking satisfying that sound effect 🔥

I love how the kaijus are so durable. After having a massive amount of it’s mouth ripped off and it’s tail shattered, Otachi still has the strength to lift Gypsy Danger up to the stratosphere.

1:55 man, a lot of people are gonna work from home

this movie is too great hopefully it gets a sequel one day!!

Gipsy Danger when he sees an organ of a Kaiju: Hippity hoppity, your organ is now my property.

Gonna tell my Grandkids this is how we unstuck the Evergreen...

This freaking movie gets better and better as time passes..

How Japanese fisherman goes fishing in 2050:

The CGI is insane 1:02

If this happens in real life, insurance companies would probably be buying their own insurance

One thing I love about these scenes is how little real-time reacting there is. That sounds weird, but hear me out. Once you get to this size, not only is there gonna be essentially input delay, with your brain's signals taking noticeable time to get where they need to go, but your sheer mass will make quick movements impossible. This places a lot more emphasis on pre-empting stuff, eg. Otachi catching the third swing of the boat after taking the first two.

1:26 i like how you can see the glass shaking as otachi is running through the building lol

Ifyou listen carefully you can hear the music syncing with the hits at 0:15

2:49 when you see your dog eating chocolate.

The sound of Gipsy's fingers opening at 2:44 is unreasonably good

I'm saying this with the whole respect, this movie was a blast fight scenes were on point, I don't get tired of Watching it over and over again.

0:08 opens hand and catches the ship again easily. It's little touches like this that makes the robot feel big, powerful and heavy.

Now, normally, I would be complaining a little regarding structural integrity and the like. Normally. It's a giant mecha using a ship as a sword. It gets a free pass.

This movie was the perfect blend of campy, badass one liners and silliness that made it enjoyable to sit and watch! And a touch of semi-realistic science that made it feel kinda real and a possibility.

This movie was literally a masterpiece, when it came out I genuinely saw it 3 times.

Love how you can feel the impact on all of their hits, unlike the other movie...

I’ve never seen giant bipedal war machines done so well. Every movement of the Jaeger _feels_ heavy and mechanical. It moves smoothly, but has a methodical slowness to it that really gives you the impression of immense weight and strength. The sequential metallic clicking of the fingers popping open one by one after getting free from the tail also looks and sounds _amazing_ and really makes the machine look tremendously more menacing as it turns back to the Kaiju! And that opening riff as GD strides towards the Kaiju with that boat in hand makes my adrenaline spike like I’m fixing to watch the nastiest cage match in history.

Man, imagine how much pain Otachi must've been in before her death: tail frozen solid and then shattered, acid organ in her mouth crushed and ripped out by a giant robot.

Man 10 years later is still one of the best original. Too bad the “sequel” teenager kind of thing is ruin the whole thing.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is what the Rule of Cool looks like.

0:20 U CAME INTO THE WRONG PLANET FOOL

I was honestly obsessed with this movie as a kid when me and my dad first saw it. The CGI was the main reason why and I watched this over and over again.

jokes apart, i cant believe how much the animation team did this umm MASTERPIECE i am a blender artist for 2 years but i am still new but i can understand how much work they did for example 1: its raining in which when an objects move the water that is stuck is moving when the object move 2: i like the lighting system they really showed us the bright atmosphere in tokyo 3: (most like 2) i like how they added the shiny glossy metallic look on gipsy when it rains and the light is bright it shows more of that metallic thing in gipsy 4: the kaijus god they are so freakin awesome they added the scales it may look like a simple but trust me it's hard to animate moving scales i can even make a good version of pr2 if my laptop is able to handle it lol😂

1:15 anyone notice that danger didn't destroy the bridge and the trees but in the 2nd movie all of the jeagers LITERALLY destroyed the city

"Choppers you have a visual, over" Choppers: we'll just ignore that

Gypsy danger dragging the ship is unironically the hardest shot in a movie ever

How could they go from this gritty, heavy and "realistic" feel to the sequel is beyond me.
