I love the fact that the Pacific Rim Fanbase just accpeted and agreed that there's no sequel

Pacific Rim is a stand alone film with no sequel 😎☝

“As a kid, I couldn’t walk in the shallow end of the pool without imagining myself as a Jaeger.” Holy shit did we all have the same childhood

0:24 Bro, I don't think anyone who has seen the movie EVER stops walking like a Jaeger in the shallow end of the pool. I'm 20 years old, I saw the movie one year ago. I STILL DO IT!

0:30 is the realest thing ever, i still cant walk normally in water

I really am suprised they didn't make a sequel. But i guess it's better to have a "one and done" rather then tainting the legacy

I loved the weightiness and heft that they conveyed with the Yaegers. It wasn't Transformers, it wasnt Gundam where they were zipping all over the place. They felt massive.

"it's giant robots vs giant monsters; it's exactly what you expect, but not how your expecting" my elevator pitch to get people to see the movie. it's such a shame there was never a sequel

"And then a rocket turned on at the elbow to punch harder."-🔥✍️🗿

The fact that this movie has better graphics than most movies now lmao

This movie and Edge of Tommorow are the few Sci-Fi movies that I can watch repeatedly without getting bored. The amount of details and love that was given from these two movies is just outstanding.

This film is criminally underrated, easily one of the best films of 2013, we don’t talk about the sequel

Criminally underrated movie. The fact that they couldn’t build on this universe is crazy.

Ok 1 don't be ashamed you walked in the pool like a Yeager because I still do that to this day. And 2 another reason that Gypsy lost the fight to knifehead is because knifehead was the first Kaiju to display intelligence when it played dead.

Watching this on IMAX in Universal Studios AMC was the best movie experience ever.

What i personally love about this movie is how heavy every movement feels, every punch, every step, everything feels heavy. As you say, you can hear the steel and the machinery of the Jaeger during the fights if you're good at listening, those aren't anime mechas that are silent as wind and agile as a ballette dancer, those are 1000tons or something like that of pure unrefined machinery that's controlled by two minds of two persons at the same time, every step has to be thought carefully and my god Del Toro nailed it

All jokes aside there is one thing uprising did good job at, obsidian fury.

I think that the Jaegers started dying because the precursors started finding the weakness to each and every Jaeger. That’s why leatherback and otochi beat the other jaegers and not gipsy. And when gipsy entered the anti verse we see them starting to send in knife heads because that’s the Kaiju that destroyed gipsy originally.

I come back to this movie every 1-2.5 months and it never fails to get me giddy

Pacific rim is the best man... sad that there is no sequel to it

Mako is the perfect example of a good strong female character, she has flaws, actual emotions, heart, and she doesn’t make the male characters look like fools, she compliments Raleigh’s character seamlessly, and none of it feels forced, but she still can kick ass and be a badass. Like when she went toe-to-toe with Raleigh in the trials, she didn’t just beat him every time effortlessly, they were on even ground but it still showed they had strengths and weaknesses over the other without being too overbearing about it

Pacific Rim was so good! Too bad it never got a sequel…

#8:30 I absolutly agree. thank god this movie never got a sequel. such an awesome movie by its own.

dude, this breakdown of exactly why the Kaijus started winning everything else in this vid were awesome. I had never realized those details and coincidences. Well done!

Pacific Rim seems to be a film that gets better with age. It was met with mostly positively reception back in the day, but I remember a certain air of "but it could have been way better" surrounding it. The fanbase and receptions has only grown stronger since it came out. And it becomes absolutely revelatory once you become a massive kaiju and tokusatsu fan. I was hyped for it back in 2013. I had just started getting Godzilla films and this came right at the crest of my initial love for the big G. But I remember feeling just a bit disappointed in the film at the time for reasons I honestly don't remember. I think, then, I found it too tropey or too corny in the character department. The MCU was hot off the heels of The Avengers. They were the new Top Dog and their brand of character making in blockbuster movies was now the default. So the characters in PR, at the time, felt out dated and old hat. Now they're actually refreshing. I do think Charlie Hunnam is a little miscast here, but not drastically so. He just feels a bit out of step from the rest of the cast. But what makes it work overall is that Raleigh is a very earnest, very sincere character. He's not a snarky quip machine or an anti-hero with an attitude and chip on his shoulder. His tragedy informs his character but doesn't DEFINE his character. He's positive, supportive, level-headed, and good-hearted. That's what struck me most upon my most rewatch watch - Raleigh is just a good boy, lol. With time as and I explored the kaiju and tokusatu genres more deeply, Pacific Rim got better and better. And even separating it from that influence, it's a better film on its own terms than I think people give it credit for. It juggles a lot characters and relationships very well in a tight 2hrs. It manages to convey all kinds of great themes without ever once losing its sense of pace of narrative flow or delving into navel gazing. The theme of human connection - of the duo, the power couple - is all over this film. Friends, brothers, strangers who share a deep connection being a perfect match, a perfect team. While the Kaiju are technically organic creatures, they have no soul. They are cold, singular monsters with no purpose outside of conquest. The Jaeger should be these mechanical monstrosities but they exude personality and humanity because that is what, literally, drives them. Despite the action centering around the humans using giant robots to beat the shit of off giant monsters, the key to human victory is all about the mind - how to understand it, to push it to its limits, to trust in others. And come on, this movie probably has the best kaiju action ever put to film.

2 minutes into the video, I thought it was gonna talk about the music by Ramin Djawadi, and go “You know what else has music by Ramin Djawadi? Iron Ma-“

This film needs a true sequel, with the same visuals and sense of scale. The way del toro brought these colossal machines to life has always been mesmerising to me and I was so disappointed to see uprising be turned into a power rangers film

one of the great single movies no prequels no sequels good stuff

No other film has ever come close to the sense of scale that Pacific Rim has. Even some of the more recent Godzilla movies, as good as they are, don’t quite achieve the same effect. I think what makes PR work so well is they really nailed the MASS of the creatures/jaegers and how that affects their inertia. Massive objects take a lot of energy and power to get moving and just as much to stop, and they got it so right.

A decade of great monster fighting

Everytime I see Pacific Rim praise a smile comes on my face I have seen this movie too many times and still cannot stop watching all of its positive reviews lol

One of the best things Pacific Rim has to offer is that it is a stand alone movie. No cheap badly written sequel to scrape profit. Just one and one only

We need a "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters" style prequel series chronicling the whole prologue of the first film. Trespasser's attack could be a whole episode, the other pre-Jaeger kaiju attacks could be another, and the process of beginning the Jaeger Program's neural load problems, the first Jaeger Brawler Yukon's victory against Karloff, the story of the Kaidonovskys and Cherno Alpha at the peak of their career, and Raleigh and Yancy's first victory against a kaiju could all be one episode each.

Dude just the moment when Gipsy adjusts its grip on the boat is so real. Everything is so heavy and unwieldy. I loved the mark 3s we got to see. Honestly the best class of Jaeger overall. Would’ve loved a prequel instead of the spinoff movie or Netflix anime. Neither one did the world justice. This is the film that got me into Kaiju and giant robots, which in turn got me into Project Nemesis, a series of novels by Jeremy Robinson, which are freaking amazing. When real creative types go for these giant and bombastic stories, they really hit. It’s all the soulless Hollywood executives that make people think that giant monsters vs robots is so shallow and stupid. I genuinely wrote two different essays in college, one about Pacific Rim and one about Project Nemesis, diving into how much symbolism and intelligent commentary there was in what seems like such surface level storytelling.

that shoe thing form iron man and pacific rim, still effect me to this day, i still do that to get taht feeling

5:18 I never noticed that was the reason, despite watching the movie over 20 times. I just figured the Category 3 Kaijus were just much stronger than the Jaegers of the time could handle, except for a few specific teams of pilots (the ones we see in Hong Kong) 🤔.

We can't forget Ramin Djawadi's score, greatest main theme ever, truly brought the world to life (and another bit of connective tissue with the first Iron Man)

Unlike other kaiju movies that it will take soo much time just to see the kaijus for 1.1 seconds while pacific rim will always show the robots and other monsters for a good amount of time and show their powers and other cool things

New movies are starting to forget that Cinema is not just visual but sound is equally as important.

“I’d imagine myslef as a jaeger, don’t make fun of me” I STILL DO

im still coming back to rewatch the hong kong battle. The jeagers look so realistic, metallic and heavy just like u would imagine the physics would work in real life.

I love the fact that the Pacific Rim Fanbase just accpeted and agreed that "analogic" is a great concept

this movie was so great that somebody literally made a fan fiction sequel of this movie can't wait to see if they make a sequel out of this

NGL, the film is truly a masterpiece, you can feel the weight, the punch and the sheer intensity of the battle! Masterpiece always stands alone. Absolute cinema!

if i recall, reason that gypsy danger wasn't something the precursers got data on from the mental link is that it was Mako who worked on it, instead of the scientist dude, she added the sword, she improved the plasma canon, i believe even that it was her that decided to get it fixed from it's broken wreck state, it was her project not something the scientist dude was involved with, he probably didn't even know it was good to go, hence why it took the kaiju by surprise too

It's really sad that they didn't make a sequel of this masterpiece.... 😔😔😔😔😔

I remember the first time I watched Pacific Rim, I couldn't believe nobody told me it had a sequel. Silly me, it didn't have a sequel!

What could've been for this film franchise. (moment of silence)

Greatest Kaiju verse of all time✅

The best way I can describe this movie is a gateway drug (at least for me) If it wasn't for this *masterpiece* crafted by one of the gods of cinema Guillermo del Toro, I probably wouldn't be the batshit insane Godzilla fan I am now. This movie is peak and *always* will be peak! I cannot believe it's been almost 11 years since it arrived on the scene, time flies man... And also 0:30 Brother I don't think anyone will, We all did it. It's a rite of passage.

the jazzy song playing in the background of this video is Happy Birthday

Don’t worry when I was younger I also imagined I was a jeager walking in shallow water

I remember going to one of the largest IMAX theaters in the US to see this (AMC Lincoln Square) for my birthday (i was 15) and being absolutely blown away. That will always be one of my favorite movie theater experiences.

This movie truly deserves a sequel ❤😂

Apart from Transformers movies at that time, This film goes toe to toe with the Marvel universe during that time period. For big robot movie, transformers were a super good for entertainment. And I still watch old transformers movies rather than watching new ones. And you are right, that this film is an evergreen gold. A piece of collective art work. And I just want to pretend that the prequel of this movie never happened.

This movie is just PERFECTION.

It makes me so damn happy to know theres a lot of other people who give this movie the love it very much deserves

For a movie made in 2014, it has some serious levels of CGI making it WAY ahead of its time hence it never gets old

Biggest fan of Pacific Rim since I was a child, and to this day, never saw the sequel. So for me, YES, it doesn't exist

Pacific Rim will always have a special place in my heart

Great! Now we just need "Pacific Rim 2 the movie that no one remembers"

This dude just made Pacific Rim so much better

I love how uprising was completely forgotten off the face of the earth

3:31 NAH you did him dirty lmaoo

SO glad they never made a sequel to this absolute classic. I have probably watched it over ten times now which is 10 times more than I watch most other movies. I absolutely love this film.

0:27 Your spitting straight facts

Crimson Typhoon and Cherno Alpha are that one meme of slim book of screentime while the popularity is heavily stacked

Crazy how a film about giant monsters and robots fighting gets this popular and awesome, especially without a sequel!

I remember when the trailer came out, and my dad and I were so excited because it had been so long since a giant kajiu movie looked good. We love Godzilla, and when we watched the trailer, it just gave us Godzilla vibes, and we saw it the day it came out and loved it. Then, a few years later, the new one came out, and we will never talk about it.

As a fellow person who wrestles my siblings whenever i'm near the shallow end of the pool, your not the only one! [seriously though i used a pool floaty like it was a tanker boat]

I first saw the trailer for this movie when my parents and I went to watch the Impossible, the movie starring Tom Holland about the Boxing Day tsunami. In the US, the Impossible was released at the end of 2012, but in my country Malaysia, it was released in February 2013. Anyway, the cinema was playing ads and movie trailers for upcoming movies before the actual movie started. My father and I walked in right in the middle of the Pacific Rim trailer. When I saw Gypsy's rocket-boosted punch, I was jumping up and down inside. I had always wondered why sci-fi/robot movies had never implemented rocket-boosted punches and kicks, and I was proud to believe that I was the first person in the world to ever dream about it. So seeing an idea that I believed I was the first person to ever come up with used on the big screen was a rocket booster to my nine-year old pride. My father and I went home that night, watched the trailer in full, and bookmarked Pacific Rim.

" i could never walk in the shallow end of the pool the same way" ngl same bro

Cant wait for this channel to get popular

This came out when I was in high school. This was truly an incredible movie for its time.

Its been 11 years and this great movie still has no sequel

I love when my mom calls me to get out of the pool and i gust walk out cherno alpha mode

This was very well made and edited, you explained whats great with pacific rim and that cool.

Watched this when I was 12 and it's still my favorite movie of all time, it inspired me to create stories about that concept

Guillermo del torro be forever be goated for this

Pacific Rim set the Bar so high for robot fighting monsters, it remains on top for a decade

You just made the movie even better. this is the first time I heard about the precursor knowing the weakness of the jaeger is because of newt. You earned my sub.

This is coming from a die hard PR fan. This is a great video,love the ending,and I cant believe you only have 47 subs...wow. but a couple things: Knifehead was not the first category 3. and your theory (or atleast what I think that it was) is just somewhat common knowledge in the PR community. Its so awesome to see PR videos in 2024 that arent from the community which is pretty much dead. Have a good day!

"watching this as a kid" I feel myself so old now

I was watching this one mute and as soon as I saw the boat being dragged I could hear the music playing in my head lmao. This is definitely a childhood movie for me and I now have an 18 inch action figure of Gipsy which is basically my pride and joy. Great movie, so underrated by some people.

I will never get tired of saying and thinking this movie didn't need a sequel. It needed a prequel. I would've loved to see the initial struggle before jaggers would start winning all the time. The upcoming (uprising even) of Pentecost and such. I don't agree with sequels of concluded stories. Closing the breach concluded the story.

Literally any people that are born in 2005 does the walk in a pool or beach your talking about

This movie awakens that 7-year old in you that was bashing their favorite action figures together as they came up with awesome scenarios in their heads. We need more movies like that.

Uprising failed because it was trying to attach to the trend of fast paced mindless action, but by the time it released the trend had ended. Pacific Rim 3: Cataclysm is set to release in 2025 and is purely focused on story, no matter how much it gets pushed by trends. I say this as a MASSIVE Pacific Rim fan.

Since pacific rim is part of my childhood and i only know it from the films (yes sorry i’m not a huge fanboy too) the first 1 is the goat, the second one feels a bit more yh we want to make money even there was a bit of good in it the plot was not a complete non sens and I liked the open end that says they will go to their universe could be cool to see what do they have. Even if the film will never be as good as the first 1 because of the characters too, i would still see it and like it

I genuinely thought this channel had atleast a couple 100k subs this is such a good video. One of my favs essaying pacific rim

I absolutely love this movie. The cgi and animation is just incredible, they did such a good job with it. It looks better than 95% of films coming out these days. I still rewatch it every year or two.

Pacific rim genuine felt so real BECAUSE CHARACTERS ACTUALLY WENT UNDER WATER IN PLACES THAT THEY VERY OBVIOUSLY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO WALK.

5:00 I’m not gonna lie I feel like the reason the yaegers started losing was because the kaijus were just getting bigger and bigger, as well as the trial and error of the previous kaijus showing the precursors what worked and what didn’t, so they finely tuned their kaijus over time to be more effective, as well as just plain bigger. Unless I’m mistaken, I feel like you might be reading too far into this one

Man, I really love Guillermo Del Toro to return to make a sequel. I mean, it's been a decade, and there's not even a little bit of news that it will make a sequel.

and the fact that guillermo put so much practical props and just utilized vfx to enhance it rather than rely on it, that's why everything looks so real and is so much successful also guillermo is a pop culture fan, that's what happens when you put a director in a project that they passionately love

God i just want another instalment in this franchise

Still a core memory when I watched this with my mates in the cinema when we were 14 year old 8th graders!!!!

My favorite part of the whole movies is that “Gypsy is analog” because it still has a fully functioning AI and drift computer, so that means they designed an entirely analog AI and Drift system made of gears and mechanical actuators. That shit is so absurd and wild that I just fully accept it because the movies that goddam amazing.

How many times do I need a reminder that this movie is a gem and close to Perfect with the elements that make it great and we can all agree there’s no Sequel

It's wild how well the CGI holds up a decade later. Especially when you compare it to the sequel.
