Sci-Fi Pacific Rim (2013)

Just finished watching this. Oh my god, fantastic! Love Charlie Hunnam in Sons of Anarchy (interestingly , Ron Perlman is also in this, so I bet they had a blast on set). Pacific Rim is action-packed pretty much start to finish. Excellent movie!
 
I finally got around to watching this one; had some vacation time to kill so I took advantage of it to watch Pacific Rim with the speakers cranked up and nobody home but me & the dog. :D

Overall I liked it and thought it was a good action 'popcorn' film.

I'm surprised though nobody has mentioned one thing. As much I loved the action of giant robots battling monsters, once the major plot is revealed a comparison can't help but be made.
The premise of the movie is basically Independence Day! :o_O: Earth is being invaded by aliens that act as a hive and move from planet-to-planet wiping out the resources before moving on. They are ultimately defeated by blowing up a nuclear device in the heart of the alien command structure and in order to get there the humans had to mask themselves as the aliens to avoid destruction. Right before the nuclear device goes off a close-up shot of an alien is shown showing that they quite don't understand what is about to happen. The heroes barely escape the explosion but escape they do.

The above aside, I wouldn't mind seeing more of the Pacific Rim universe. With a war that lasted several years, and there being possibly hundreds of Jaeger robots during that time, there is plenty of room for other stories to be told.
