The celebrated director--one might even say visionary--has pulled off the most elaborate B-movie heist ever with this huge-budget special effects extravaganza that revels in catchphrase cliché dialogue, a howlingly obvious script, and the most breathtaking homage to Japanese monster and mecha cinema, manga, and comic tradition. It's all by design, of course, and is a stunning spectacle that also acts as antidote to the bloated, self-important superhero genre and typical bombastic Hollywood tent-pole fare. Pacific Rim has plenty of bloat and bombast, mind you. But it's in the service of a wondrously geeky story that throws all logic and seriousness to the wind, transporting the viewer to a realm of childlike popcorn escapism no matter their age. A dense and breathless prologue dumps us into the near-future global warfare of Kaiju vs. Jaeger. Kaiju are reptilian monstrosities that emerge from deep in the sea through a portal that leads to a world where Kaijus are systematically bred to destroy. They annihilate coastal cities and claim millions of lives before the world's citizens band together to fight back. The humans build fantastic robots called Jaegers (German for fighters) that are able to vanquish the early Kaiju enemies by employing "pilots" who drive the mechanized behemoths in pairs, joining minds in a process known as the Drift. But as the years go by, the war has taken a toll on the humans and the Jaegers, both of whom are nearly defeated. From beginning to end there's really no point in asking questions or trying to calculate details about the outrageous goings-on in the world of Pacific Rim . This is a pure thrill ride ruled by del Toro, the wild visual flair of his artistry and his sheer delight for wallowing in tropes and genre chestnuts leading at full volume. The cast is mainly window dressing for the astounding computer images. The pilots Charlie Hunnam, Max Martini, Rob Kazinsky, and Rinko Kikuchi are merely types. The same goes for Idris Elba, but his glowering presence as the unwavering commander is the best real-life thing about Pacific Rim . A pair of nerdy scientists (Charlie Day and Burn Gorman) add to the plot (simple as it is), though their primary purpose is wacky comic relief. Del Toro favorite and Hellboy himself, Ron Perelman steals his few short scenes as a bootlegger in Kaiju corpses. His character says a lot about the movie's self-effacing attitude. Pacific Rim is deeply in cahoots with itself over the ridiculousness of the story, but also delights in the awesomeness of its invention. The action is both coherent and mind-blowing, which is why most people will find it such a kick. Just like driving a Jaeger, throw your head into the battle and hang on. -- Ted Fry Pacific Rim (Special Edition) (DVD) Review: Indulgent joy - I'ma get this out of the way: The movie is ridiculous. The plot is predictable and full of brainless tropes, some of the acting is mediocre and the science fiction is actually quite bad. If you can move past those things or if they don't bother you while you're watching it's insane fun. Obviously fans of giant monster movies or mecha anime will find many of their sweet spots struck by the theme, but there's something different about getting it in live action from special effects wizards. I don't think we've ever seen sets and costumes like these actually made and populated with real people, certainly not this competently. The practical effects are fantastic and the action is legitimately thrilling. The monsters are horrifying, and the giant robot pace of the action gives your eyes all the time they need achieve maximum bulge as the Kaiju just brutalize the heroes and their surroundings. Because the monsters are so grotesque watching the heroes desperately brawl with them is harrowing. I'm not kidding. You'd think that because the movie has real flaws I couldn't honestly give it five stars without exaggerating. I'm a geek and I can get snooty at the writers over some of the plot conveniences or their confusion about how nuclear reactors work, but those things just don't make a difference against the jubilation of watching a titanic humanoid robot cold clock one of Del Toro's nightmare creatures. It is delightful and whatever the balance is on perks versus flaws this movie stuck with me as a fantastically good time, even over films that I'd have a harder time criticizing. And the music is wonderful. Start nodding your head to the hero's theme when you first see the pilots man the con. Feel the dread when the horns kick in as the monsters destroy them. Review: Best Giant Robots vs Giant Monsters movie ever! - If you haven't seen Pacific Rim yet, and you're wondering if you'll like it, I have one question for you: Do you want to see a giant robot punch a giant monster in the face? If you answered "yes", then you will like this movie. Pacific Rim is a great popcorn film. The story is present, which is about all I can say about it. The characters are larger-than-life caricatures. The acting is never so bad it's distracting. So what's the draw of this movie? Everything else! The art, style and special effects are unbelievably gorgeous. Set design is rich with color, texture, and detail. The costumes are beautifully designed and lovingly crafted. The robots and monsters are eye-popping screen candy. The world in Pacific Rim is fully realized and believable despite it's unbelievable premise. All of this attention to detail lends weight to the battles, making them truly breathtaking. In lesser hands, this movie could have easily turned into a hokey SyFy channel movie. But director Guillermo Del Toro knows how to make a special effects film, and jam packs every minute of this movie with pure excitement. Pacific Rim is like nothing else you've seen, and is consistently entertaining throughout. The blu-ray release does this movie justice and has one of the best digital transfers I've ever seen. The picture is crystal-clear and all the aforementioned detail pops. The audio is also outstanding, and the balance is perfect. Some movies (rarely, but sometimes) have bad audio balance, and the dialogue is too quiet and the sound effects are too loud, forcing me to adjust the volume constantly. Pacific Rim sounds clear and the balance is perfect, whether you're listening to a 7.1 surround sound system or just a simple 2 channel stereo. On the technical side, Pacific Rim's video and audio quality are perfect, giving you the closest experience to theatrical presentation as possible. The special features are interesting, but nothing really gave me insight into the making of the movie that I couldn't have already guessed. I was a little surprised to see how much of the movie was done with practical effects, and the giant working sets they built for the cockpit scenes was impressive, but otherwise it was the usual behind the scenes fare. The only behind the scenes features I've seen in recent memory that truly surprised me were The Matrix, TinTin and Avatar, because those were pioneering new technology. It is nice to see some of the concept art included in the special features, especially early designs for the Jagers and Kaiju. If you are trying to decide to buy this movie, then let me ask you this: Have you already seen this movie? If yes, and you enjoyed it, then go ahead and buy the blu-ray. This will give you the best possible presentation and will not disappoint. If no, odds are you're really going to like this movie and you should go ahead and buy it, but if you're really on the fence you may want to rent it first just to be sure it's your cup of tea. Oh, and if you don't yet have a blu-ray player, don't bother getting the DVD only version. You should get the Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack so you can watch the DVD now and enjoy the blu-ray when you upgrade to a blu-ray player. Trust me, you're going to want to see this in HD. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Burn Gorman, Callum Greene, Charlie Day, Charlie Hunnam, Clifton Collins Jr., Clifton Collins, Jr., Guillermo del Toro, Idris Elba, Jon Jashni, Mary Parent, Max Martini, Rinko Kikuchi, Rob Kazinsky, Ron Perlman, Thomas Tull, Travis Beacham Contributor Burn Gorman, Callum Greene, Charlie Day, Charlie Hunnam, Clifton Collins Jr., Clifton Collins, Jr., Guillermo del Toro, Idris Elba, Jon Jashni, Mary Parent, Max Martini, Rinko Kikuchi, Rob Kazinsky, Ron Perlman, Thomas Tull, Travis Beacham See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 27,883 Reviews | | Format | Multiple Formats, NTSC, Ultraviolet | | Genre | Action & Adventure, Science Fiction & Fantasy | | Language | English, French, Spanish | | Runtime | 2 hours and 11 minutes | ## Product Details - **Genre:** Science Fiction & Fantasy, Action & Adventure - **Format:** Multiple Formats, NTSC, Ultraviolet - **Contributor:** (function(f) {var _np=(window.P._namespace("DetailPageProductOverviewTemplatesJava"));if(_np.guardFatal){_np.guardFatal(f)(_np);}else{f(_np);}}(function(P) { P.when('A').execute(function(A){ A.on('a:truncate:po-attribute-truncate-2:updated', function(data) { var isTruncated = !data.truncateInstance.getIfTextFits(); var seeMoreElement = document.getElementById('po-attribute-see-more-id-2'); if(seeMoreElement) { seeMoreElement.style.display = isTruncated ?

Director Guillermo Del Toro is really in his element here! "Pacific Rim" is wall-to-wall, non-stop fun with excellent acting and production values. The plot is as simple as can be; incredibly nasty (and completely implausible, scientifically impossible) aliens invade and humans respond by inventing incredibly powerful (and unlikely) machines. Although the human's machines are armed with guns, missiles, and plasma cannons, all the battles are essentially hand-to-hand combat between gigantic samurai. None of that silliness matters and in fact it might be part of the fun; this is a comic-book fantasy and it is relentless in its delivery of the genre. The leading actors all deliver convincingly sensitive performances, and Ron Pearlman is priceless as the reprobate dealing in illicit monster parts. The CGI work is excellent, though quite cartoonish as befits the genre. Hint: Keep watching after the credit crawl begins. There's a bit more waiting for you. Some fun background: You might be aware that Guillermo Del Toro was originally hired by Peter Jackson to direct the Hobbit films, and in fact Del Toro is credited as one of the writers of those films. After two years of waiting for a go-ahead on those films with no assurance that they would ever see the green light from Hollywood, he gave up on went home to work on his own projects (which led to Jackson eventually picking up the wand and directing those films). This is Del Toro's first major film after The Hobbit, and really his first big-budget production. (In the interim had had written a couple of novels and launched Mirada Studios.) We can only speculate how different things would have been if the Hollywood companies had been able to settle their copyright and bankruptcy problems faster so that Del Toro could have directed the Hobbit movies, but I suspect that we would have seen a lot more emphasis on action and less on character development and performance, to the detriment of both the Hobbit and the Pacific Rim stories. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pacific Rim (Two-Disc Special Edition DVD) - Warcraft [DVD] - Battleship --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/6727231-pacific-rim-two-disc-special-edition-dvd](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/6727231-pacific-rim-two-disc-special-edition-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
