Movie Review: "Pacific Rim"

This latest action Sci-fi movie is about man’s fight for survival against alien monsters that rise from a break in the earth’s crust at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. Gigantic robots are employed to battle the aliens. Because of the robots’ size, two humans are required to join their brains digitally to pilot the robots. The plot is painfully thin- kind of Iron Man meets Godzilla. The acting is at best mediocre. No stars of merit were in the movie. The volume of the sound track was barely below ear-damaging 120 decibels. Several times I found myself covering my ears for comfort sake. The running time was a painful 2 hours and 10 minutes. Without question, one of the worse movies I’ve seen in recent memory.
