I love Pacific Rim but…
I’ve never seen Uprising.
I love the design language of the first film so much. The giant hulking mechs look like walking skyscrapers. In Uprising they look like 9ft tall generic robots Tony Stark would fight.
The kaiju in Guillermo del Toro’s film are so damn cool. Knifehead is among my favorite kaiju ever (pic related). There’s a sense of cohesion among them and I feel there was a lot of love put into their design. The promotional material for Uprising on the other hand had their monsters feeling more like set pieces.
The characters in the first Pacific Rim are plucky in the best way. It really did feel like a live action anime at times. It was fun and not overly serious when it didn’t have to be. No one “annoyed” me or felt out of place for the tone of the film.
Should I see Uprising? Am I missing anything in this sequel that I loved about the first film?
