Review Detail

So I'm a massive Pacific Rim fan, to the point where I can actually enjoy the sequel as a dumb cash grab that still has good action. However, even for people who don't already love the film, this is a masterpiece. There are a couple of things I'd like to see stay in the film, such as keeping more of Gottlieb, but this has absolutely replaced the original for me and has made me put this at the bottom of my planned edits, to make sure that my skills are worthy of this edit.

The key change to this film is that Gottlieb and Newton's research subplot has been cut out entirely and so the focus has been tightened onto the pilots and their relationships with the machines as well as each other. This also helps to give the radiation's effects on Pentecost the chance to be seen, still not as much as I'd like but I don't think there are any other scenes (either deleted or cut) to give this more screentime.

I'm very new to the scene, but even so the technical quality seems absolutely perfect.
