OMFG PACIFIC RIM

OMFG PACIFIC RIM

Guess what I saw today? If you guessed anything other than Pacific Rim, maybe go get some coffee.

Pacific Rim. Holy BLEEP, I loved it!

Now, I’m definitely a giant robot fangirl. Love Robotech, adore Gundam, freaking CHEER when Escaflowne charges into the fight. I would steal this in a heartbeat.

I also love my monster movies. Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra, Gamera…oh yeah.

So when you give me a visually stunning, well-strung-together, beautifully designed homage to BOTH my giant mecha and my giant monsters?

I’m one happy girl.

But before you go “meh” all over me because you’re NOT a mecha/monster fangirl, let me say that I took my daughter and my roommate,  who are also not mecha/monster fangirls, and both loved it.

Pacific Rim is just effing FUN.

I’ve heard complaints about the fights being hard to see, but I didn’t have any problem, and I often DO have trouble seeing scenes that are too dark. So there I think maybe it’s the 3D?

Mako stole my heart. I loved that not one person in the movie expected her to be weak. I love the scientists, separately and together. They are smart and geeky and weird and dedicated. I loved Idris Elba.

Dear Lork, Idris Elba. Someone get that man some more movies, STAT.

And then get me a Jaeger.

TL;DR: GO SEE THIS MOVIE.
