Yes! A million time yes for this movie!

Okay, I might not be the right person to review this movie, as I don't have a thing for robots, Japanese stuff, action and stuff like that. I'm just a regular movie goer.

However,...

When it comes to action movies, I have an allergic tendency towards weepy dramatic or lovey dovey scenes. You can probably guess then, that I hated Superman and Spiderman and love Iron Man. I also hated Fast & Furious 1, 4, 6 and absolutely love 2, 3 and 5. (or maybe that's too complicated to guess?).

Pacific Rim is just perfect.

1. Full action! The main character doesn't even kiss, but we know that they're.. you know... A lot of the good guys are dead, but there's no dramatic weeping. At all. And you know those scenes, where the good guy is on the edge of danger, but still make time for a dramatic dialogue? There are no such thing in Pacific Rim. HALLE FRIKKIN LUYAHH!

2. The movie does not let us ask questions and complain about the scientific logic (like what happend to TRON for me) by not trying to explain the scientific details. They don't even go there, and just let it be. Let it be. Don't even go there. Don't even question why are there this huge monster came out of the ocean, and how the hell do connect human minds to control robots and why. They just provide necessary explanation (minimum), and you can just enjoy the awesome action. Which are AWESOME.

3. For those of you who enjoys beautiful men on your screen, you will not be dissapointed. The beautiful Aussie father-son, and ahem, Charlie Hunnam who will make you Channing all over his Tatum (he looks like a beautiful version of Channing Tatum. Versi tampan dari Channing Tatum)

4. The girl. Right on for the Mako Mori character. She's perfect, and adding value to the movie instead of distraction.

So what? It's a 5 star for me. And yes, do watch them on IMAX if you can. The action matters.
