Quote of the Day, I Find This Reassuring About Pacific Rim: Uprising edition.

Because that’s what I want, too.

Briefly sketched characters and a minimalist plot can be a sign of a film’s low ambitions, but in this case, it’s more a mark of very specific ambitions: the filmmakers want to see giant robots fighting, and don’t want to spend too much time on boring human talky-talky that might get in the way.

Yes. Thank you. Giant robots. Punching giant monsters. In the face.  That’s what I want out of Pacific Rim: Uprising. I can get movies that require me to think any time I want.  I don’t want that from this movie.

The new “Pacific Rim: Uprising” trailer.

The premise for Pacific Rim: Uprising is goofy and illogical and not really workable and I WILL BE THERE FOR THE FIRST MATINEE SHOWING.  I’m not going opening night because it’s going to be weird that week (birthday week); it’s just easier to go the next morning.  WITH ALL THE POPCORN.

The Pacific Rim: Uprising teaser trailer.

Oh, yeah.  There we go.  As Honest Trailers said about the original, Pacific Rim: Uprising promises more giant robots punching giant monsters in the face.

Normally, I’d try to guess what the subtext of that is. After all, ‘Uprising’ suggests that there’s something to rise up against, right?  Only, I don’t care.  Giant robots. Giant monsters. Giant robots punching giant monsters.  This is pretty much everything that I care about.

This one comes out February 23, 2018. Can’t wait…
