On an artistic level, it's a bad movie. But sometimes it's the bad movies that are the most fun. Sometimes movies aren't meant to make you think, they're just suppose to entertain. Of course, what each person considers entertaining is probably different. I find action movies entertaining.
The same thing could be said about books. You can easily loose yourself inside a fiction book in a way that's impossible when reading non-fiction. That book might not teach you anything, or inform you about anything, but it's just fun and entertaining. I usually go back and forth between fiction and non-fiction for that very reason.
The only unfortunate part about Pacific Rim is that there's this part when the kaijus let loose an EMP that fries the electronics of the jeagars. One guy makes a comment that everything is digital and it'll take him awhile to fix the probably. Then the main character comments that his jeagar is analog, so it should be fine. But it's not analog. It has computers and digital components just like everything else! They obviously don't use the concept of analog vs. digital properly and that really annoys me because it's such an easy concept.
I wonder ... after a kaiju attacks and the jeagars destroy it, do they come back and help clean up? They just tossed a tanker ship like it was a toy and it got lodged between two buildings. That would take forever for humans with construction equipment to remove, but only a few seconds for the jeagar.
That also raises the question why they'd build the "wall of life" using humans doing normal jobs like welding. Wouldn't it be easier and faster to have a jeagar help build the wall?
