RISE UP.Ā
Ten years after the events of the first movie, a new generation of Jaeger pilots are facing the Kaiju once again, as well as a threat that comes from withinā¦ A 3D sequel that lacks the freshness of the original, which doesnāt come as a huge surpriseĀ ā it was hard to see in the first place where a follow-up would go that felt meaningful. More Michael Bay than Guillermo del Toro, with spectacular battles between monsters and machines. Plenty of Chinese influences, a likable cast, and thereās a weird twist that promises more to comeā¦ but all in all, hard to care much.
