Pacific Rim - Striker Eureka

Well awesome mate! NECA is releasing a 18" Striker Eureka that'll cost about 200-250? It has lights and all, but don't think the chest will open to reveal the missiles like the movie. :p

Pacific Rim

What can i say? Finally a robot/monster movie done right! Thankfully the movie doesn't come off as cheesy or anything like that; a lot of big robot movies don't seem to make the transition to the big screen too well... Robo jox comes to mind somehow!

 

You can say this show is heavily influenced by anime like Evangelion, and shows like ultraman and godzilla... Heck, was expecting ultraman to appear in some scenes! The human development seems a bit rushed in some parts, and the actors characters seem rather flat.... But we're here to see the robots right? And they don't dissapoint; the fight scences are pretty breathtaking and well choreographed, they move with a certain heft, so their scale and sizes look and feel believable on the big screen.

The storyline is servicable; which movie hasn't used the 'end of the world unless we stop the invasion' trope? Overall, an entertaining movie with pretty good pacing, definately worth a watch.... Oh, stay for the extra ending! ;)
