I just watched this movie on DVD. Admittedly, I was about to turn it off before the film actually began due to the sheer volume of disk spam. That is, there were so many previews that my patience had grown quite thin even fast forwarding through them. Then there was the plug for Ultra Violet, the studio plugging themselves, and so on. THEN, after the anti-pirating warning which, of course, doesn't allow fast forwarding. Ah, movie time..

My expectations were already quite low, although this was based on the previews shown in the half hour (or so it seemed) before getting to the feature. They were all so bad that one was left with little hope for the main attraction. My low expectations were spot on.

I could go on at length about what is bad in this movie, but it would be too hard to resist simply saying "everything". Instead, I will touch on the good points. (1) The lighting was, overall, pretty good and (2) the image was quite clear and sharp; Good camera work. I gave it one star for each, thus 2 out of 10.

Nothing in the film seemed believable. From beginning to end, this movie is a waste. The worst part? That time is lost forever, and it could have been better spent doing something more entertaining - like cutting my toenails.

Where to begin? This movie was bad on so many levels, I seriously do not know where to begin or what to say. I have seen R.O.T.O.R; I've watched Manos: Hands of Fate; I have viewed Plan 9 From Outer Space, and even The Creeping Terror. NONE of these turkeys, which are invariably thrown out in discussion of worst movie ever, is nearly so brain-numbingly ad as Pacific Rim.

The cast covers all the bases: Strong black male leader? Check. A super-bright woman? An Asian? Check and check. Someone characters with "foreign" accent? Check. Hey, it even has a tough guy with a bulldog. (That shows he's sooo masculine!)It's a shame that nobody in the cast put on a performance which was in any way compelling.To say the acting was flat and unconvincing is a gross understatement.

With all the mechanical and electronic innovations in the big robot thingies, why was it necessary to have two people inside them? It would appear that some remote control could have been worked in with all the other tech. I could go on in detail, by why bother? In short, I have been watching movies for more than 40 years, both old and new flicks. Hands down, this turkey gets my vote for worst movie I ever watched.
