Mar 23, 2018 · Action. 111 minutes ‧ PG-13 ‧ 2018. Matt Zoller Seitz. March 23, 2018. 5 min read. I’m writing this review in a hurry because every hour I wait makes it harder to remember “Pacific Rim Uprising.”. On a craft level, this sequel to Guillermo del Toro’s monsters-versus-biomechanical warriors saga “ Pacific Rim ” isn’t terrible.

It would have been a pleasant surprise if Pacific Rim Uprising had used the opportunity of a sequel to scratch under the surface of the pulpy universe set up in the original. Done well, it might have revealed deeper reasons to care whether humans in giant robot suits could again defeat invading interdimensional monsters, beyond satisfying an appetite for its breathlessly fun fight scenes. Unfortunately, it doesn’t. Instead, it leans heavily on the charming shoulders of Star Wars star John Boyega at the expense of developing the rest of a youthful, spirited new cast.
Uprising picks up 10 years after the original left off, in a world only half rebuilt from the destruction. Kudos must be given to production designer Stefan Dechant here, because Uprising’s cities are all either fully fleshed-out hubs of dust and skeletal remains of past battles, or vast, neon playgrounds at the cutting edge of futuristic rebuilding. This is a cohesive world that’s recognisable as our own, just a little out of reach – more Tokyo than Tokyo.
After a thrilling opening, it’s in the ashen remains of one of these forgotten towns that we are properly introduced to Jake Pentecost (John Boyega), son of fallen Marshal Stacker Pentecost (Idris Elba), and Amara (Cailee Spaeny). A pilot turned petty thief and a Jaeger-building wunderkind, the pair of street rats are soon enlisted by Jake’s sister Mako (Rinko Kikuchi) into the reformed Pan-Pacific Defence Corps to aid in their defensive efforts against a potential renewed threat from Pacific Rim’s hellmouth-born aliens, the Kaiju.
Pacific Rim Uprising is a loyal, if unremarkable, successor to the giddy original. There’s still a lot of fun to be had in the pleasure of watching Kaijus clash with Jaegers in spectacular, bone-rattling battles, and that’s reason enough to see it for a certain crowd. But beyond that, Uprising leaves a lot on the table in respects to developing thi...
