Pacific Rim (4K Ultra HD BD) [Blu-ray] [NTSC]

Love this film. Quick hire service good quality

The entire film just repeatedly asks "what's the coolest thing we could do here" and just does it. It's sincere and focused enough that it works, and it sells every moment. It's just cool.

A fun last half made up for an understandably rushed beginning that nearly had me stop watching the film. Admittedly, a lot had to be explained and I wonder if the director was forced by the studio to do the lengthy prologue - maybe the director had the intention to tell us about why machines operated by humans were fighting huge monsters during the story in sort of flash backs but was not allowed to as the studios seem to assume that we are stupid and have to be told everything quickly or we will lose interest? maybe not, but the vast "exposition" nearly lost me and that would have been a pity as it turned into a good film). Anyway, I loved the fighting, hated most of the characters at least until the very end, and was amazed by the special effects. I may be wrong but I almost sensed that the Jauger were a tribute to "Optimus Prime" the huge robot from Fallout 3; and that isn't a bad thing. An enjoyable 2 hours and I certainly didn't feel I had wasted my time watching it.

Well I had read the reviews on this so was looking forward to watching it. Wow I was not disappointed, this is full of action, the biggest robots/ monsters I have ever seen in a film and wonder how they made this, and how much it must of cost. No need to go into the story as many others have, so I will review just the 3D which is simple Amazing from the Depth to the Feel of how it appeared out of the TV. A lot of 3D films are not always shot in 3D, but done after, but there is no doubt this was, you feel as if you are in the film all the way through, if my TV was any bigger the 46inch I would of been, be warned its so good on the eye in 3D that it can at times get to your eyes, maybe a slight break during the film may help this, as the action and the 3D takes your breath away. Buy you will not be disappointed if you like action with massive Robots/ Monsters from start to finish. All the acting is also fist class.

I love this film! as a kid who grew up with 50's sci fi, Godzilla, star wars and transformers moving into mechs was a natural progression for me...and this is the mother of all mech movies! it's such a refreshing thing to find a movie that isn't a reboot, a toy adaptation or over burdened with pointless distractions...but this film is pure popcorn movie magic at its finest! it makes no apologies for what it is...vehicle for truly huge epic set piece battles between big mechs and even bigger monsters, it sets up the lore early, and then sets about the business of delivering the action right out of the blocks with such glorious enthusiasm and energy!. this is no deep intellectual movie...it isn't ment to be, it's ment to be a hugely entertaining ride! And it delivers!. in an era where all to often movies and those that make them feel they need to carry a message in order to justify themselves... Pacific Rim retains its focus on one thing and one thing only... BEING FUN!.

I bought the special edition dvd to watch this kaiju film for the first time. Not seeing PR in the cinema was lucky, as my first impression was that it's a leave-your-brain-at-home, cheesy, campy, kid's movie. There's no great nudity, sex scenes or swearing in it. However, after watching the film a few times and seeing the bonus content on disc two, I've come to appreciate the making of it. If you're a builder of robots you'll know that giant mechs are implausible because of the weight-to-power problem: The heavier and massive the robot mech is, the bigger and stronger the servo motors you'll need to move it. Bigger motors means added weight, so you'll need stronger servos to move the added weight, and so on until the weight-to-power ratio becomes a losing game. The kaiju genre is Japanese, but there's scant representation of Japan here, except a token Asian girl (played by the stunning Rinko Kikuchi), but her role is played down and somewhat putdown by her overly angry, stupidly yelling, Western counterparts. The acting is over-the-top dramatic and the tension between characters is so forced and artificial that it seems like a parody of the genre. There's a couple of Australians (still Westerners!) whose dialogue is incomprehensible (without English subtitles on) that they might as well be speaking a strange foreign language. Incidentially, I'm not sure why they've portrayed a harmful neural interface ('drift' as they've called it) since the mech is obviously slaved to the driver's physical movements like a puppet through an analogue haptic suit and not controlled via their brain. In the bonus content, the concept artists say they've looked at big, real world excavation machinery as reference for scale, but we don't get the scope or scale here like we do in Cloverfield (which is a kaiju-inspired film) or Gareth Edward's Monsters (and also his Godzilla film), each of which seem to have better CGI renders and physics (it could also be about camera angles and pov?). The artists should have looked at the life-sized Gundam kinetic statue in Yokohama, or even the Liberty statue on Liberty Island, from ground level for more appropriate scale references. Strangely, Gillermo has applied this annoying lens fog or 'haze' over every scene that typically low budget films use to hide cheap and awful visual effects and CGI (so, essentially Gillermo has made a mega expensive movie look like a low budget one!). Anyway, if you're a rabid fan of Michael Bay-tarded films, you'll be a big fan of this cheddar; there's lots of fighting, big explosions, cgi to beat the band, and virtually no plot or character development to get you thinking. I won't hold my breath that the sequel, Uprising, is any better. If you actually want to see a dexterous mechsuit, look up Hacksmith's Aliens Powerloader videos on youtube, it doesn't walk (it rolls on catipillar tracks) but it's the closest thing yet to a real life mech suit.

This is possibly my film of the year. Sure, it's cheesy and cartoonish in places but that's a large part of the charm. Tthe designs are awesome, the score is badass , the action genuinely jaw-dropping and like all Del Toro's films it's absolutely bursting with heart and enthusiasm. If you share his interests in anime, comic books and whatnot then you'll love it too. If the idea of giant robots fighting huge monsters doesn't excite you then frankly I think you have issues. Haven't watched the 3D transfer yet or dipped into the extras (besides an entertaining gag reel) but watching the 2D version was frequently blown away by the quality of the image and sound mix. This really is the best blu-ray I've seen for sheer eye candy. I love this. Really, really, really love it.

This is one of the coolest monster movies in years. This movie is directed by the visionary director, Guillermo Del torro (HellBoy, Blade 2). The movie has tons of special effects, visual effects and monster sets that will take your breath away and is a lot bigger than Transformers.Every giant robot has been designed uniquely suiting to the different countries. Excellent detailing has been taken care for the animated Robots and the Kaiju monsters. Charlie Hunnam, Idris elba give some sparkling performances in the film and some comic relief from actors Charlie day, Burn Gorman and Ron Perlman. As for the DVD package it has two DVDs inside; One has the movie itself which is a DVD-9 disc and the other disc which is a DVD-5 contains a host of special features including the making of the film and lots more. The movie disc packs an excellent Audio/Video and has a great quality ideal for home theatre applications. Thanks to Amazon for the great packing and extremely fast delivery as always!!Good work Amazon!!!

Che altro dire di questo film, è bellissimo, uno dei migliori del 2013, effetti speciali fantastici, storia semplice ma bella, vedere sti robottoni ENORMI prendere a mazzate e distruggere gli alieni e viceversa è uno spettacolo che vale il prezzo del Bluray !! Il 3D merita davvero !! finalmente è in 16/9 e con il mio videoproiettore si vede ENORME !!uno dei 3D migliori mai visti, lo metto vicino a Avatar, Titanic 3D, Transformers 3 3D e Hugo Cabret, la profondità è eccellente in tutte le scene, le immagini non sono mai troppo scure, anche con poca luce il 3D è sempre spettacolare e molto spinto. l' Audio purtroppo è un Dolby Digital 5.1, fa il suo dovere ma un dts HD sarebbe stato tutta un' altra cosa, ho dovuto mettere il volume dell' amplificatore quasi al massimo. Film : 9 video 3D : 10 Audio : 7,5 Lo consiglio vivamente a tutti gli amanti dei film d' azione, in 3D poi è davvero grandioso !!

Comprada la versión francesa 4K UHD porque la de España me querian sacar mas de 30€. Después de comprobarla está en PERFECTO CASTELLANO, así que comprar sin miedo, que se ve de "cine". No entiendo a la gente que en vez de valorar el artículo, la transacción con Amazon, etc... se ponen a valorar si la peli es buena o mala, como si esto fuese filmaffinity o algo así. Pelicula verificada en perfecto castellano la versión 4K francesa, (el bluray es lo que no he probado ; )

Tout est dans le titre!!! Le meilleur blockbuster de 2013!!! Même si on attend la suite du Hobbit avec impatience, on a affaire ici au spectacle le plus généreux que cette année nous a donné, en plus le scénario pour une fois est cohérent et pas complètement à la ramasse comme dans Transformers 3!!! Du cinéma vraiment spectaculaire, un vrai film d'action avec des effets spéciaux visuels absoluments magnifiques, des héros vraiment héroïques enfin vraiment tout ce que j'attend de ce genre de film quoi!!! De l'action, du spectaculaire, un truc à peu près cohérent, des héros que j'aime et surtout une vision artistique cohérente, et pour ça Del Toro est un des meilleurs réalisateurs vivants, le gage de qualité artistique absolu qu'on puisse donner à un film!!! Et là les amis il s'est vraiment laché!!! N'allez pas voir ce film en pensant au labyrinthe de Pan, pensez plutôt à Hell Boy 2... En fait j'ai envie de dire que ce film est a réserver à tout les vieux gamins (et ce n'est pas péjoratif) qui ont rêvé en voyant la Guerre des Etoiles et Jurrasik Parc, à ceux qui ont envie de l'aspect montagnes russes du cinéma populaire. Ce film est vraiment une réussite et on en a enfin pour son argent! Et ce n'est pas rien de le dire parce que ça fait un moment que j'attend de voir un truc qui m'épate en rentrant dans un cinéma!!! Pour ce qui est de la présente édition Blu-ray que dire sinon que l'image est vraiment superbe et que le son n'est pas en reste et que pour une fois la 3D n'est pas un gadget rajouté, les effets étant ici particulièrement bien intégrés au film (à la Titanic 3D). Un véritable bonheur! C'est probablement la meilleure édition francophone disponible pour le moment et je vous conseille vivement de vous jeter dessus.

Für mich ist der Film einer der besten überhaupt. Das CGI ist ein richtiges Brett was bis heute keiner mehr nachgemacht hat in dieser Qualität. Zudem in 4K und HDR noch geiler. Auch das HDR ist mit das beste was ich je gesehen habe. Dieser Film auf einem Oled TV ist der absolute Wahnsinn
