Pacific Rim Uprising Movie -

Of course, the Kaiju aren't done yet. A new threat emerges—one that is smarter, faster, and far more insidious than the last. John Boyega is a star.

The action, when it works, is fantastic. The final battle sequence in Tokyo is a glorious mess of destruction. There is a moment where a giant Jaeger uses a building as a power-up that made me grin like an idiot.

Casual fans might not notice. pacific rim uprising movie
